What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?To capitalize on "What's Bugging You?" we developed a webinar series titled "What's Bugging You- First Fridays" focused on community pest issues, like spotted lanternfly, springtime ants, beneficial insects, lawn care and ticks. Since the first event, over 600 registrants produced 420 attendees and feedback has been good. Videos are posted on YouTube and the NYSIPM webpage along with extra Q&A from each session. The IPM Image Gallery is meant to stand as an outreach tool with basic information about each photo subject, plus links to additional information Linking photos back to the What's Bugging You Website may draw in new viewers for WBY First Friday events. An educator spoke at the Annual Entomological Society of America meeting on the topic "Comparing methods for establishing habitat for pollinators and natural enemies of pests". Post COVID, pollinator habitat plantings can be the focal point for in-person trainings. Effective mechanical cultivation for control of agricultural weeds is a skill that can require many years for farmers to hone. Our alternative weed management project provided hands-on experience in best use and adjustment of mechanical cultivators to 15 farms across New York State. Additionally, our YouTube video showcasing the use of slow-motion cameras to assist cultivator adjustment will provide continued training opportunities for farmers and will likely be made available as a Moodle course for New York State Department of Environmental Conservation pesticide recertification credits. We planned to attend the International IPM Symposium meeting in 2020, but it was rescheduled due to COVID. We helped the fruit extension faculty at Cornell learn about the PMEP database to generate the 2021 Cornell Pest Management Guidelines for Berry Crops. All of our outreach materials, presentations, workshops, webinars, videos, etc. are available to growers, IPM practitioners, extension educators and others who can use the information for professional development. In 2020 and 2021 seven new cooperators joined the SCPTN and were trained in trap set-up, monitoring, pest identification, and provided with their own pest insect reference collection. The cooperating hemp growers received weekly scouting reports and training on pest identification. They were also provided with management options. All of our outreach materials, presentations, workshops, webinars, videos, etc. are available to growers, IPM practitioners, extension educators and others who can use the information for professional development. Many of the presentations are eligible for credit as part of recertification for pesticide and other grower licenses and certifications. What we have been learning on these demonstration plots is being leveraged to support conservation biocontrol on urban farms in New York City (including habitat establishment and insect sampling to understand the arthropods visiting these farms) and provided a project for a Cornell Cooperative Extension support summer intern. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?We created a YouTube playlist to host all presentations. Before presentations are uploaded to YouTube, the transcript is edited and captions are synched to the presentation. Promotional graphics were created for the events, and were publicized by our social media team. We reached out using listservs, personal contacts and our social media pages to spread the word about this new series. Our results have been disseminated via our website, Twitter feed: twitter.com/NYSIPM; YouTube: www.youtube.com/user/NYSIPM; Facebook: www.facebook.com/NYSIPM/; Flickr Image Gallery: www.flickr.com/photos/99758165@N06/; webinars, and numerous blogs and newsletters. We also share information in-person in presentations, field days and workshops, as described in other areas of this report. We created a website for the conference (https://nysipm.cornell.edu/resources/nys-ipm-conferences/school-ipm-2020-where-weve-been-and-whats-next/) that contains descriptions and links to each presentation, panel discussion and breakout session on video (at YouTube) and we have a YouTube playlist for this conference. We registered our beneficial insect habitat plots at the AgriTech research farms with the Pollinator Partnership's Million Pollinator Garden Challenge and as a Monarch Waystation (#29533) with Monarch Watch. The alternative weed management aspect of the project showed farmers slow-motion videos of their mechanical cultivators in action so that adjustments could be made to improve their effectiveness. We reviewed and analyzed slow-motion footage and disseminated the results in two ways, 1) direct communication with the 15 participating farms in-person or virtually and 2) through our YouTube video that demonstrates the results and was recently sent to statewide stakeholders. Feedback from direct project participants included: "Thanks for coming out. Those are great videos. I should probably take more of those in different conditions to help with setting the cultivator. You can see a lot more detail that way then just watching it in the field." "Thank you for working on this with us. The videos are very helpful. Having guys set up cultivation equipment is one of our biggest challenges. Videos like these will be very helpful for teaching and refining our practices." "Thanks again for today! It's so great to have educational opportunities like that for our apprentices." Seventy growers and extension educators were educated about NEWA in two presentations. We posted links to recordings of our popular Apple IPM Intensive Workshop presentations on the NYS IPM Program website. We gave five presentations reaching 142 growers and stakeholders with fruit IPM information. The results are available through the Sweet Corn Pheromone Trap Network blog (https://sweetcorn.nysipm.cornell.edu/ ) The hemp pest survey results were presented to others through presentations, blog post, biweekly hemp calls and a project report. 4 Listservs used to extend information from these projects to stakeholders and educators •IPM-BENEFICIAL-HABITAT-L • GREENHOUSEIPMUPDATE - L • GREENHOUSEVEGIPM - L • CHRISTMASTREEIPMUPDATE - L Social media on Pollinator habitat to reach the general - Amara Dunn's Twitter account (@AmaraDunn) https://twitter.com/AmaraDunn 111 tweets on Pollinator Habitat project, generating more than 62,000 impressions; 23 tweets on Christmas tree project generating more than 23,000 impressions Amara Dunn's Instagram account (@biocontrol.nysipm) https://www.instagram.com/biocontrol.nysipm/ 156 posts on the Beneficial Habitat project, with average weekly engagement rate of 5% Presentations to grower and general public communities are detailed under Other Products. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Educate dairy farmers about IPM, especially for fly management Finished the last 2 of 18 short videos on IPM for fly management with cattle. These videos have had 55,060 views. We completed the evaluation of the Elements of IPM for Beef and Dairy cattle, updated the list of insecticides availablesummer of 2022. DevelopedVetPestX database for searching for insecticides for livestock and dairy. We conducted 6 online meetings with cattle IPM and dung beetle management reaching 194 producers. 2.Expand public outreach on IPM of household pests Outreach partly accomplished through the "What's Bugging You?" section of our website. Wecreated 40 new pest pages and updated and expanded text and photos offered on 21 pages, including sidebar links to additional information. Photos are sourced from and linked to the IPM Image Gallery and pages are cross-linked to provide easy pathways to the information. 3. Expand and improve our IPM image gallery collection Expanded the IPM Image Gallery to 4,660 original pictures of pests, plants, insects, wildlife, landscapes, orchards, vineyards and farms. Keywords and links to NYSIPM webpages provide IPM-based management information. Our photos have been viewed 1,539,211 times since 2017. 4. Demonstrate alternative weed management Slow-motion footage of mechanical cultivation was used to improve weed control at 15 farms and create an educational video. 5. Conduct a pheromone trap network for sweet corn,snap beans, dry beans, and peppers Cooperators were contacted and recruited for the 2020-2021 trapping seasons. Recruited cooperators from 6 sites helped set-up and maintain new ECB- hybrid traps to determine the prevalence n the region. Blog posts of trap counts were posted weekly May-Sept. every year. The blog has 110 subscribers and distribution in weekly pest updates for 2 regional veg. extension program newsletters. 6. Demonstrate vegetable IPM on farms Hemp surveys were conducted in 2020 and 2021 to determine the pests of greatest concern to hemp growers. Hemp fields were scouted weekly, and results were shared with growers, Cornell faculty, and CCE educators. In 2020, 8 fields and one high tunnel were scouted weekly and in 2021, 4 fields were scouted weekly. Results were presented at several local and regional meetings and written up for the Cornell hemp blog. 7. Evaluation of IPM adoption by ornamental producers Information collected as part of the producer surveys of greenhouse, nursery and Christmas tree production in NYS is being integrated into educational programming and the development of resource materials. It has also been integrated into an additional project on evaluation of existing materials by a grower focus group. 8. Creation and use of demonstration sites for Christmas tree IPM and beneficial insect/pollinator habitat An additional demonstration Christmas trees was planted in 2021 to evaluate tree establishment. Root dips and weed management plots were installed and data was collected. Budbreak and growth data were collected from the range of species in the initial acre of demonstration. Bloom data for 2020 and 2021 showed continuous bloom throughout the season and increased blooms in the direct seeded plots, as mowing frequency was reduced. We did not sample any arthropods in 2020 due to COVID. In 2021 arthropods were sampled once per month May-Sep for a total of 20 sampling dates. 9. Create extension education resources for fruit and hops We updated 4 fruit organic production and IPM guides. We published 4 fruit IPM fact sheets. We updated the 2021 Cornell Pest Management Guidelines for Berry Crops from a PMEP database. Insecticide guides were developed to support IPM for the invasive species spotted lanternfly. We gave 5 presentations to142 growers and stakeholders with fruit IPM information. 10. Research and extend IPM information for spotted wing drosophila: We conducted grower demonstration research on the utility of hummingbird enrichment to promote predation of spotted-wing Drosophila (SWD) in berries as an IPM tactic. We tested and validated in tart cherries. We published 2 research articlesin the Fruit Quarterly journal of the NYS Horticultural Society. Insecticide guides were developed to support IPM for SWD. We wrote 56 blog posts for the SWD blog that included grower alerts, workshop opportunities, research advances, and management information. 11. Educate growers about NEWA: We created podcasts, blog articles, and updated training videos for state coordinators that are available on our website and advertised through multiple extension outlets. Over 2812 growers and educators attended at least oneof 51 presentations between 2017and 2021. 70 growers and extension educators were educated int 2 presentations. 11 webpages were written with educational information on how to effectively use the tools and work with weather stations. Published 1 research articlesin the Fruit Quarterly journal of the NYS Horticultural Society. 12. Create additional NEWA tools to support vegetable production Beet Cercospora leaf spot and western bean cutworm models were developed for vegetable production during this project time period. In addition, cabbage maggot, onion diseases, onion maggot were redesigned and launched on the NEWA 3.0. 13. Create educational materials on pollinator protection Pollinator habitats, including a pollinator-friendly lawn, were established (farm and yard) to document the effort and outcomes for residents and farmers. Photographs and writings for a list serv and social media describe efforts, outcomes and best practices. CCE-PSEP reviewed a draft of the pollinator decision making guide "A Pesticide Decision-Making Guide to Protect Pollinators in Vegetable Crops" for pesticide regulatory compliance and accuracy. 14. Enhance Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines for several commodities with IPM information The 2021 Cornell Pest Management Guidelines for Berry Crops was enhanced with the Environmental Impact Quotient and a completely revised weed management section. IPM information was updated in the Vegetable Guidelines and in the Vegetable IPM Practices on the NYS IPM web site. 15. Educate pesticide applicators about IPM with online Courses 18 IPM courses have been co-developed by the NYSIPM program in cooperation with the Pesticide Safety Education Program (CCE-PSEP). There were 232 IPM courses completed for recertification credits in NYS between Sep 2020 and Aug 2021, and 98 additional instances where NYSIPM/CCE-PSEP courses were approved for credits across 8 Northeastern sister states, including Pennsylvania (43 instances), Massachusetts (19), Maryland (10), Rhode Island (9), Connecticut (8), Maine (6), Virginia (2), and Vermont (1). 16. Develop a School IPM outreach package We determined that this resource would be redundant compared to the NEIPM School BMPs site, which we created and contains all the vetted resources. (https://www.northeastipm.org/schools/). Instead, we developed a School IPM outreach event, the NYS IPM Conference: School IPM 2020: Where We've Been and What's Next, a two half-day virtual conference. Attendance: Day 1 - 50, Day 2 - 40 17. Evaluate school IPM with IPM Metrics In 2017 and 2018, we piloted the assessment in 3 school districts.During school IPM presentations and stakeholder meetings the IPM Metrics have been described and promoted. Once these Metrics are finalized and available online, school officials will be encouraged--in person and through social media and newsletters--to self-evaluate their IPM policies and programs using the IPM Metrics. Their results will, in turn, help us to shape our future training, extension and research efforts.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?We developed and held an Apple IPM Intensive Workshop for 65 apple growers covering arthropod, disease, weed and vertebrate pests, placing all workshop materials online. The Elements of IPM for dairy and beef cattle have prompted us to develop an online training and evaluation of the publications. A specific example is that under Goal 5, a tutorial video was developed to train participants on how to set up and monitor pheromone traps. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Our results have been disseminated via our website https://nysipm.cornell.edu/, Twitter feed https://twitter.com/NYSIPM, YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/NYSIPM, Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NYSIPM/, Flickr IPM Image Gallery https://www.flickr.com/photos/99758165@N06/, webinars, and numerous blogs and newsletters. We also share information via numerous in-person presentations, field days, and workshops--as described in other areas of this report. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Educate dairy farmers about IPM, especially for fly management. -As permitted (Covid restrictions), we plan to visit 2-4 dairy/beef farms in 2020 to validate the Elements of IPM and take photos and video for creation of outreach tools -Develop 1-2 additional educational livestock IPM videos, in English and Spanish. 2. Expand public outreach on IPM of household pests. -NYSIPM Facebook, Twitter and YouTube platforms will continue to grow, as they did from 2019-20, as we add more content and promote them across platforms. We seek to significantly increase the number of followers for each of NYSIPM's social media accounts. 3. Expand and improve our IPM image gallery collection -Our staff will increase the offerings within the IPM image Gallery, focusing heavily on pollinator identification and advice on habitat establishment and composition, pest exclusion, and vector (tick and mosquito) awareness. We will also continue to strengthen the linkages to IPM management information as "What's Bugging You" information is expanded. We will continue to feature photographs of IPM subjects in our social media feeds to highlight timely issues. 4. Demonstrate alternative weed management. -For the 2020 growing season, we will create audio, video, and written vegetable weed IPM resources. -In 2021 we will visit farms to video cultivators in use and work with growers to fine-tune cultivator setups for improved weed control and reduced crop damage. 5. Conduct a pheromone trap network -Conduct a pheromone trap network for sweet corn,snap beans, dry beans, and peppers during the 2020 and 2021 growing seasons. Report trap catches along with scouting and threshold information to users weekly. 6. Demonstrate vegetable IPM on farms -In 2020, conduct on-farm IPM pest surveys and demonstrations in hemp, on two farms. 7. Evaluate IPM adoption by ornamental producers Analyze the results of all 3 IPM adoption surveys and publish the results Using the results, identify print and electronic resources that are lacking or require updating Create resources to fill those gaps 8. Create demonstration sites for Christmas tree IPM and beneficial insect/pollinator habitat Plant second acre of trees in Year 4 and initiate study on root dips and weed management methods Continue maintaining pollinator/beneficial habitat and Christmas tree plots Continue collecting information on bloom times and diversity, and cost of establishment; sample insects; and evaluate weed management methods. Plan and host outreach activities for Year 4 for growers and Extension educators 9. Create extension education resources for fruit and hops -Complete population of the database for the Cornell Pest Management Guidelines for Berry Crops. -Update the organic guides for berries and grapes. 10. Research and extend IPM information for spotted wing drosophila - Conduct the SWD monitoring network and educate growers about SWD IPM via the blog. - We will promote the effective use of cultural tactics to manage SWD in tender fruit. - Grower demonstration research will be done on SWD management using hummingbird enrichment. -Analyze research data, present results at scientific and grower meetings, publish reports. 11. Educate growers about NEWA - Presentations to growers and extension educators will continue. The NEWA coordinator will work with NYSIPM and extension staff to identify additional opportunities to expand educational efforts in year 4. 12. Create additional NEWA tools to support vegetable production -The Cercospora leaf spot risk assessment model for table beet production will be field tested in western NY in year 4. - The western bean cutworm model and the blueberry maggot model will be used by growers in 2020. -Weed emergence model development will continue. - Cranberry fruitworm and strawberry disease models continue to be developed. 13. Create educational materials on pollinator protection -Finalize and publish 2 additional pesticide decision-making guides -Promote, advertise and provide training that supports use of the pesticide decision-making guides 14. Enhance Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines for several commodities with IPM information -The field crops and livestock team will continue to update the Cornell Guide for Integrated Management of Field Crops for the 2021 version. -In 2021 we will update a subset of vegetable IPM fact sheets that will be linked in the Cornell Integrated Crop and Pest Management Guidelines for Commercial Vegetable Production, and online Vegetable IPM Practices. -Complete population of the pesticide database for the berry guidelines 15.

Promote School IPM Continue to promote the adoption of IPM in schools by holding workshops, answering questions as they arise and visiting schools for pest control issues. We continue to serve on the National School IPM Committee and the Northeast School IPM Working Group. 18. Evaluate school IPM with IPM Metrics -Publish school IPM metrics
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
1. Educate dairy farmers about IPM, especially for fly management. Developed 16 short, educational videos on the major fly pests of dairy and beef cattle and developed individual Elements of IPM for both Dairy and Beef Cattle. The videos have received nearly 7000 views, with 88% positive feedback by viewers. Also conducted on-farm demonstrations of pasture fly management, highlighting various fly traps and cultural control methods to reduce fly populations and inherent disease transmission. We visited farms with fly pest issues to help identify potential sources of flies and to advise farmers on the best IPM practices. We also educate NY dairy and livestock farmers about the new Asian Longhorned Tick. 2. Expand public outreach on IPM of household pests: We published a new document titled "American Cockroach Monitoring" that describes why monitoring is important, how to conduct a monitoring program for American cockroaches, suggestions for what types of data to record, and how to interpret the results. We speak about IPM to a wide variety of general and professional audiences: 120 presentations from May 2019- May 2020. Reaching the general public is now more easily accomplished through social media. From May 2019 - May 2020 Community IPM posted over 353 times on Facebook with > 80,298 views. We increased the number of resources on our Community IPM page and offer more tick awareness programs. We teach Master Gardener Volunteers in all aspects of structural and landscape IPM. 3: Expand and improve our IPM image gallery collection: We expanded Our IPM Image Gallery to over 4,300 original pictures and videos of pests, plants, insects, wildlife, landscapes, orchards, vineyards and farms. Keywords and links to relevant IPM webpages bring the viewer back to IPM-based scientific biological and management information. The IPM Image Gallery photos have been viewed more than 1.2 million times since the account was upgraded to FlickrPRO in January 2017. 4. Demonstrate alternative weed management: We purchased an innovative new cultivation machine that allows for usage of implements that target weeds in different ways, improving effectiveness. The cultivator was tested in various configurations in snap beans and beets in 2018 and 2019 and demonstrated at 3 field days. Multiple activities sharing results are listed elsewhere. 5. Conduct a pheromone trap network for sweet corn,snap beans, dry beans, and peppers: Cooperators were contacted and all supplies were ordered and sent for the 2018 - 2020 trapping seasons. New cooperators were trained. Blog posts of trap counts were posted weekly May-Sept. every year, and started May 26 in 2020. The blog has 102 subscribers and distribution in weekly pest updates for 2 regional veg. extension programs. 7. Evaluation of IPM adoption by ornamental producers: Our recent surveys of IPM adoption by Christmas tree and nursery producers were based on a 2007 survey. Focus groups of 5 and 3 growers, respectively, evaluated the existing survey and proposed changes. Response rates were 38 and 20%, respectively. Survey results are being analyzed. 8. Creation and use of demonstration sites for Christmas tree IPM and beneficial insect/pollinator habitat: The Christmas tree IPM demonstration plot is designed to allow a variety of trials over the span of growth of the trees. We have evaluated budbreak with growing degree days and assessed survival of trees by species since planting. We continued to record the costs associated with each method of beneficial habitat establishment, including time required in 2019. Bloom data for 2019 showed continuous bloom throughout the season. We identified 19 genera of bees and over 80 genera of other arthropods. Outreach activities are listed under Products. 9. Create extension education resources for fruit and hops: We created podcasts, webinars, newsletter articles, and blogs on timely fruit IPM topics that are publicly available on our websites and advertised through multiple extension outlets. We delivered 19 presentations on fruit IPM and SWD that were attended by 585 people. We updated the Cornell Pest Management Guidelines for fruit crops and embellished them with weed, biocontrol, and IPM information. 10. Research and extend IPM information for spotted wing drosophila: We created and wrote outreach blog posts, newsletter articles, technical reports and webpages on SWD. We delivered 4 presentations on SWD that were attended by 250 people. 11. Educate growers about NEWA: We created podcasts, blog articles, and updated our training videos for NEWA state coordinators that are publicly available on our website and advertised through multiple extension outlets. Over 1,236 growers and educators attended at least one of 44 presentations about NEWA between 6/1/17 and 5/31/20. 12. Create additional NEWA tools to support vegetable production As of 5/31/20, the Cercospora leaf spot risk assessment model for table beet production has been validated and is being made available to growers in Western NY. A flight emergence model for western bean cutworm has been validated. An annual weed emergence model is under development that tracks 8 different species using degree day models. Cranberry fruitworm and strawberry disease models continue to be developed. A blueberry maggot model was released to the public in May 2019. 13. Create educational materials on pollinator protection: NYSIPM has supported the development of pesticide decision-making guides for protecting pollinators in 4 commodity areas, 2 of which have been published to date. NYSIPM continues to improve our "Pollinators" website that features the NY State Pollinator Protection Plan; 2 pesticide decision-making guides for protecting pollinators in tree fruit orchards and also turf and landscapes; updates on neonicotinoid impacts; bees and best management practices and case studies; a pollinator garden tour using 360 technology; and links to a variety of additional resources. 14. Enhance Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines for several commodities with IPM information: Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines were enhanced to include more IPM information, including: Field Crops; Vegetables; Tree Fruit; Berry Crops; and Grapes. A pesticide database was populated for vegetable crops, and partially for berries. 15. Educate pesticide applicators about IPM with online Courses: Eighteen IPM courses have been developed by the NYSIPM program in cooperation with Cornell's Pesticide Management Education Program through this and previous USDA-NIFA CPPM-EIP grants. Over 200 students took IPM online courses in 2019 and early 2020. 16. Develop a School IPM outreach package: We have collected and begun to assemble a series of critical school IPM resources, including information on New York's school pesticide laws, contract specification guidelines for IPM services, example school IPM policies, "What is IPM?" brochure for teachers, examples of pesticide application notices, and the School IPM Assessment tool. Links to pest-specific resources will be included in a document that can be updated as needed. 18. Evaluate school IPM with IPM Metrics: In 2017 and 2018, we piloted the assessment tool in 3 school districts. Our evaluation revealed that the tool is best suited for a district-wide assessment while a different approach, especially the use of checklists, is desirable for an individual school building. One need identified during these initial assessments was assistance in developing written school IPM policies and programs. We have included the School IPM Assessment tool in the School IPM Package.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?All of our outreach materials, presentations, workshops, webinars, videos, etc. are available to growers, IPM practitioners, extension educators and others who can use the information for professional development. A specific example is that under Goal 5, six new cooperators joined the pheromone trapping network and were trained in trap set-up, monitoring and pest identification. Our collaboration with the Certified Crop Advisors board and organization has positioned us on the front line in training aspiring crop consultants in the northeast region. Through designing and delivering the basic and advanced course materials for the annual trainings, we are ensuring that the CCA's receive the best and most current training on IPM and how to utilize it in their professional roles. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Our results have been disseminated via our website https://nysipm.cornell.edu/, Twitter feed https://twitter.com/NYSIPM, YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/NYSIPM, FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/NYSIPM/, Flickr Image Gallery https://www.flickr.com/photos/99758165@N06/, webinars, and numerous blogs and newsletters. We also share information in-person in presentations, field days and workshops, as described in other areas of this report. An example of dissemination of our results is the IPM Metrics for schools. During school IPM presentations and stakeholder meetings the IPM Metrics have been described and promoted. Once these Metrics are finalized and available online, school officials will be encouraged--in person and through social media and newsletters--to self-evaluate their IPM policies and programs using the IPM Metrics. Their results will, in turn, help us to shape our future training, extension and research efforts. The majority of the field crops and livestock results have been disseminated to our stakeholders via the NYS IPM Weekly pest report blog (https://blogs.cornell.edu/ipmwpr/) and twitter (@NYSFieldCropIPM); the Cornell University What's Cropping Up Blog and Newsletter (http://blogs.cornell.edu/whatscroppingup/), the Cornell University Field Crops News Blog (http://blogs.cornell.edu/ccefieldcropnews/), Twitter (@fieldcrops_org and NYSFieldCropIPM), and Cornell University Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/ccefieldcrops/?ref=br_rs). In addition to digital and social media outlets, we participate in field days and grower meetings as well as on-farm demonstrations and presentations as outlined elsewhere in this report. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?The goal of our projects is to reduce environmental, health, and economic risks in multiple agricultural and community settings. Our objectives include: Educate dairy farmers about IPM, especially for fly management. -Several fly IPM farm visits are planned in 2019 to advise growers and to take photos and video for creation of outreach tools -IPM elements for either dairy or beef cattle IPM will be drafted -Complete five additional educational videos, in English and Spanish -Conduct on-farm visits to evaluate the Elements of IPM for Dairy and Beef Cattle -On-farm demonstrations of fly pest management highlighting the various trapping methods and pest reduction options Expand public outreach on IPM of household pests. -We will add more subjects to the "What's Bugging You?" page and to provide more detailed IPM advice for each type of pest. - The newest resources in community IPM, such as "How to Get Bed Bugs out of Your Belongings" will be translated into Spanish and promoted. -NYSIPM Facebook, Twitter and YouTube platforms will continue to grow, as they did from 2017-19, as we add more content and promote them across platforms. We seek to significantly increase the number of followers for each of NYSIPM's social media accounts. Expand and improve our IPM image gallery collection Expand and improve our IPM image gallery collection -Our staff will increase the offerings within the IPM image Gallery, focusing heavily on pollinator identification and advice on habitat establishment and composition, and tick awareness. We will also continue to strengthen the linkages to IPM management information as "What's Bugging You" information is expanded. We will continue to feature photographs of IPM subjects in our social media feeds to highlight timely issues. Demonstrate alternative weed management. -For the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons, we will conduct three on-farm trials, which will also serve as the focal points for demonstration events. -In addition to the new cultivator, the on-farm trials will highlight a broad array of IPM tactics applied to weed management, including cover cropping and preventative strategies to reduce the weed seedbank. Conduct a pheromone trap network -Conduct a pheromone trap network for sweet corn,snap beans, dry beans, and peppers during the 2019 and 2020 growing seasons. Report trap catches along with scouting and threshold information to users weekly. Demonstrate vegetable IPM on farms -In 2019, conduct on-farm IPM demonstrations in peppers, on three farms. -In 2020, conduct on-farm IPM demonstrations in a crop yet to be determined, on three farms. Evaluate IPM adoption by ornamental producers -Analyze the results of the greenhouse floriculture IPM adoption survey Convene focus groups for the Christmas tree and the nursery IPM adoption survey -Finalize the Christmas tree and the nursery IPM adoption surveys based on focus group results -Conduct the Christmas tree and the nursery IPM surveys and analyze results -Create educational programming based on the results of the IPM adoption surveys -Publish the results of the IPM adoption surveys Create demonstration sites for Christmas tree IPM and beneficial insect/pollinator habitat -Evaluate Christmas tree plots for survival, growth and pest issues -Plant 2nd acre of trees in Year 3 and initiate study on tree survival at establishment -Continue maintaining pollinator/beneficial habitat and Christmas tree plots -Monitor plots for pollinators and beneficial insects and evaluate habitat establishment methods based on cost and effective attraction of pollinators and beneficial insects -Plan and host open house for Year 3 to demonstrate pollinator habitat establishment methods for growers and Extension educators Create extension education resources for fruit and hops -Populate the database for the Cornell Pest Management Guidelines for Berry Crops. -Develop an apple IPM in-depth school. Research and extend IPM information for spotted wing drosophila - We will promote the effective use of cultural tactics to manage SWD in raspberries and blackberries. - Data analysis will be done on the research on SWD cultural management tactic using hummingbird enrichment. -Analyze research data and present results at scientific and grower meetings. -Publish a research paper and technical and non-technical reports. -Conducted three grower demonstration trials on the use of hummingbird feeders to attract hummingbirds into berry plantings to reduce SWD populations; one an organic blueberry grower, one a low-input direct market raspberry grower and one a CSA market raspberry grower. Educate growers about NEWA - Presentations to growers and extension educators at existing venues and times will continue. The NEWA coordinator will work with NYSIPM and extension staff to identify additional opportunities to expand educational efforts in year 3. -Online courses for pesticide applicators will developed to explain and promote NEWA (See #15 below). Create additional NEWA tools to support vegetable production -The Cercospora leaf spot risk assessment model for table beet production will be modified if needed after beta testing, then will be made available and promoted to growers is in year 3. - The western bean cutworm model will be compared to 2019 pheromone trap catches for a second year of evaluation. Once complete, a decision regarding public release will be made for the 2020 growing season. -Weed emergence model researchers will incorporate additional field observations into the model for 8 different species using degree day developmental models. NRCC will update model output to reflect additional research efforts. Researchers will consider validation needs for the 2020 field season. - Additional field validation of cranberry fruitworm and strawberry disease models will be completed. Create educational materials on pollinator protection -Create additional pesticide decision-making guides -The field crops and livestock team includes information on pollinator protection in various blog and newsletter publications and in the DEC training videos for pesticide recertification credits. Enhance Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines for several commodities with IPM information - IPM information on NEWA models, biocontrol tactics, and weed management will be incorporated into the grape, tree fruit, berry, and hops guidelines. -The field crops and livestock team will continue to update the Cornell Guide for Integrated Management of Field Crops for the 2020 version. Educate pesticide applicators about IPM with online Courses -Create six IPM online courses: NEWA in a Vineyard IPM Strategy; Grape Berry Moth Degree Day Model; Implementing NEWA in a Vineyard IPM Strategy; Fire Blight Management using NEWA: Insect Pests of Alfalfa; and Insect Pests of Small Grains. -Continue adding content to the Late Blight online course template and send out for review. Develop a School IPM outreach package Develop a School IPM outreach package -Community IPM specialists will finish the School IPM Package, adding to this pieces that are missing. For example, there is a need to identify or create instructions for schools to respond to a bed bug in the classroom. Additionally, tick management guidelines are sorely needed in New York for school grounds, where pesticide use is limited. Provide IPM outreach to non-public schools -We will identify private schools that are interested in hosting IPM workshops, and conduct the workshops. -We will advertise the IPM metrics to private schools and encourage them to perform self-evaluations using the IPM Metrics (see #18). Evaluate school IPM with IPM Metrics -Metrics will be modified as needed based on beta-testing, and then promoted to school facility managers.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Educate dairy farmers about IPM, especially for fly management. Developed 8 short, educational videos on the major fly pests of dairy and beef cattle in addition to developing individual Elements of IPM for both Dairy and Beef Cattle. Also conducted on-farm demonstrations of pasture fly management, highlighting the various fly traps and cultural control methods to reduce fly populations and inherent disease transmission. We visited farms with fly pest issues to help identify the potential sources of the flies and to advise the farmers on the best IPM practices to reduce pest populations. With have also been educating NY dairy and livestock farmers about the new Asian Longhorned Tick. 2: Expand public outreach on IPM of household pests: We published a guide to decontaminating and preserving regular household items exposed to bed bugs; and a guide for homeowners to manage mosquitoes with biocontrol. We speak about IPM to a wide variety of general and professional audiences: 110 presentations in 2018 IPM. Reaching the general public is now more easily accomplished through social media. From Sept. 2017 - May 2019 we posted >760 times on Facebook with >172,000 views. We have increased the number of resources on our tick IPM page and offer more tick awareness programs. We regularly teach Master Gardener Volunteers in all aspects of structural and landscape IPM. 3: Expand and improve our IPM image gallery collection: We expanded Our IPM Image Gallery to >4,500 original pictures of pests, plants, insects, wildlife, landscapes, orchards, vineyards and farms. Keywords and links to relevant IPM webpages bring the viewer back to IPM-based scientific biological and management information. The IPM Image Gallery photos have been viewed 932,000 times since the account was upgraded to FlickrPRO in January 2017. 4. Demonstrate alternative weed management: We purchased an innovative new cultivation machine that allows for usage of implements that target weeds in different ways, improving effectiveness. The cultivator was tested in various configurations in snap beans and beets in 2018 and demonstrated at 2 field days. On-farm trials for 2019 were planned, and grower cooperators identified. 5. Conduct a pheromone trap network for sweet corn,snap beans, dry beans, and peppers: Cooperators contacted and supplies ordered and sent for the 2018 and 2019 trapping seasons. New cooperators trained. The first blog post for of 2018 was posted on May 29 and continued weekly through September 29. The first post of 2019 was May 28. (108 blog subscribers + distribution in weekly pest updates for 2 regional veg. extension programs). 7. Evaluation of IPM adoption by ornamental producers: Our survey of IPM adoption by greenhouse floriculture producers was based on a similar survey run in 2000 and in 2007. A focus group of 6 growers evaluated the existing survey and proposed changes. The survey was emailed to 984 addresses. Response rate was 19%. Survey results are being analyzed. Christmas tree and nursery growers surveys are being developed. 8. Creation and use of demonstration sites for Christmas tree IPM and beneficial insect/pollinator habitat: The Christmas tree IPM demonstration plot is designed to allow a variety of trials over the span of growth of the trees. The Year 1 planting is being maintained in preparation for future trials. The second acre of trees will be planted in Year 3, with plans for trials of weed management and root dips at establishment. Pollinator habitat plots, adjacent to our Christmas tree IPM plots, are all planted - either with transplants or a seed mix. Maintenance, including weeding and mowing, is part of the establishment of the habitat. We continue to record the costs associated with each method of establishment, including time required. We are sampling insects in each plot with pit and pan traps, and sweep netting, and recording bloom with photographs and bloom data. 9. Create extension education resources for fruit and hops: We created and wrote podcasts, webinars, newsletter articles, and blogs on timely fruit IPM topics that are publicly available on our websites and advertised through multiple extension outlets. We delivered 15 presentations on fruit IPM and SWD that were attended by 1027 people. We updated the Cornell Pest Management Guidelines for fruit crops and embellished them with weed, biocontrol, and IPM information. 10. Research and extend IPM information for spotted wing drosophila: We created and wrote outreach blog posts, newsletter articles, technical reports and webpages on spotted wing Drosophila. We delivered 12 presentations on Spotted Wing Drosophila that were attended by 408 people. 11. Educate growers about NEWA: We created podcasts, blog articles, and updated our training videos for NEWA state coordinators that are publicly available on our website and advertised through multiple extension outlets. Over 970 growers and educators attended at least one of 39 presentations about NEWA between 6/1/17 and 5/31/19. Approx. 260 grape growers and industry multipliers in Lake Erie region attended weekly meetings (May-July) on Grape IPM and NEWA. 100 grape growers and industry multipliers in the Finger Lakes region learned about NEWA at the Spring IPM Field Dayß. 12. Create additional NEWA tools to support vegetable production As of 5/31/19, the Cercospora leaf spot risk assessment model for table beet production is in year 2 of beta testing and the lead researcher is evaluating the efficacy of this model. A flight emergence model for western bean cutworm is in year 2 of testing as of 31 May 2019. An annual weed emergence model is under development that tracks 8 different species using degree day developmental models. Cranberry fruitworm and strawberry disease models are in year 2 of validation. A blueberry maggot model was released to the public in May 2019. 13. Create educational materials on pollinator protection: The NYSIPM Program continues to improve the "Pollinators" website that features the NY State Pollinator Protection Plan, a pesticide decision-making guide for protecting pollinators in tree fruit orchards and also landscapes, updates on neonicotinoids, bees and best management practices and case studies, a pollinator garden tour using 360 technology and links to a variety of additional resources. Currently a plan is being developed to redesign the pollinator webpage as a "Pollinator Protection" page that highlights various challenges faced by pollinators (habitat loss, pollution, including pesticides, disease, etc.) and provide links to IPM-based information and solutions for these problems. Our goal is to focus on ways that IPM helps protect pollinator habitats and health. 14 Enhance Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines for several commodities with IPM information: Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines were enhanced to include more IPM information, including: Field Crops; Vegetables; and Grapes. 15 Educate pesticide applicators about IPM with online Courses: The field crops and livestock team developed and published a DEC-approved online course for IPM for Insect Pests on Field Corn. 16. Develop a School IPM outreach package: To improve school IPM resources, we first revised the fact sheet "Understanding and Managing Ticks- A Guide for Schools, Child Care and Camps". Through funding from another source, we have developed two new infographics on tick monitoring and habitat reduction for school grounds that will be included in the School IPM Package. 18. Evaluate school IPM with IPM Metrics: In 2017 and 2018, we piloted the assessment tool in 3 school districts. Our evaluation revealed that the tool is best suited for a district-wide assessment while a different approach, especially the use of checklists, is desirable for an individual school building. One need identified during these initial assessments was assistance in developing written school IPM policies and programs.

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?All of our outreach materials, presentations, workshops, webinars, videos, etc. are available to growers, IPM practitioners, extension educators and others who can use the information for professional development. A specific example is that under Goal 5, three new cooperators joined the pheromone trapping network and were trained in trap set-up, monitoring and pest identification. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Our results have been disseminated via our website https://nysipm.cornell.edu/, Twitter feed https://twitter.com/NYSIPM, YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/user/NYSIPM, FaceBook page https://www.facebook.com/NYSIPM/, Flickr Image Gallery https://www.flickr.com/photos/99758165@N06/, webinars, and numerous blogs and newsletters. We also share information in-person in presentations, field days and workshops, as described in other areas of this report. An example of dissemination of our results is the IPM Metrics for schools. During school IPM presentations and stakeholder meetings the IPM Metrics have been described and promoted. Once these Metrics are finalized and available online, school officials will be encouraged--in person and through social media and newsletters--to self-evaluate their IPM policies and programs using the IPM Metrics. Their results will, in turn, help us to shape our future training, extension and research efforts. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?The goal of our projects is to reduce environmental, health, and economic risks in multiple agricultural and community settings. Our objectives include: Educate dairy farmers about IPM, especially for fly management. -Several fly IPM farm visits are planned in 2018 to advise growers and to take photos and video for creation of outreach tools -IPM elements for either dairy or beef cattle IPM will be drafted 2. Expand public outreach on IPM of household pests. -We will add more subjects to the "What's Bugging You?" page and to provide more detailed IPM advice for each type of pest. - Several resources in community IPM will be translated into Spanish and promoted. -NYSIPM Facebook, Twitter and YouTube platforms will continue to grow as we add more content and promote them across platforms. We seek to significantly increase the number of followers for each of NYSIPM's social media accounts. 3. Expand and improve our IPM image gallery collection -Our staff will increase the offerings within the IPM image Gallery, focusing heavily on pollinator identification and advice on habitat establishment and composition, and tick awareness. We will also strengthen the linkages to IPM management information. 4. Demonstrate alternative weed management. -In pursuit of our goal to demonstrate alternative weed management, we have planned one research trial and three field day demonstrations for the 2018 growing season, with the primary objective of showcasing a new cultivation technology that has the potential to dramatically improve the effectiveness of weed control. -For the 2019 growing season, we will conduct three on-farm trials, which will also serve as the focal points for demonstration events. -In addition to the new cultivator, the on-farm trials will highlight a broad array of IPM tactics applied to weed management, including cover cropping and preventative strategies to reduce the weed seedbank. 5. Conduct a pheromone trap network for sweet corn,snap beans, dry beans, and peppers -Four sweet corn workshops are scheduled for the summer of 2018. The workshops will train participants in proper pest identification and IPM tactics. One of the workshops will be interpreted into Spanish and provide participants with translated educational materials. These materials will then be made available to others through the NYSIPM sweet corn blog. 6. Demonstrate vegetable IPM on farms -We will select crops for year two on farm IPM demonstration with input from growers and CCE educators. 7. Evaluate IPM adoption by ornamental producers -Convene a focus group for the greenhouse IPM survey -Finalize the greenhouse IPM survey based on focus group results -Conduct the greenhouse IPM survey and analyze results -Create educational programming based on the results of the greenhouse IPM survey -Publish the greenhouse IPM survey results -Begin the survey of Christmas tree IPM adoption 8. Create demonstration sites for Christmas tree IPM and beneficial insect/pollinator habitat -Evaluate Christmas tree plots for survival, growth and pest issues -Plan for second acre to be planted in Year 2 -Continue pollinator/beneficial habitat planting plan for Year 1 -Monitor plots for pollinators and beneficial insects and evaluate habitat establishment methods -Plan and host open house for Year 2 to demonstrate establishment methods 9. Create extension education resources for fruit and hops -See objectives 10, 14 and 15 below. 10. Research and extend IPM information for spotted wing drosophila - We will promote the effective use of cultural tactics to manage SWD in raspberries and blackberries. - Data analysis will be done on the research on SWD cultural management tactic using hummingbird enrichment. 11. Educate growers about NEWA -Several presentations to growers and extension educators will serve to educate growers about NEWA. -Online courses for pesticide applicators will developed to explain and promote NEWA (See #15 below). 12. Create additional NEWA tools to support vegetable production -The Cercospora leaf spot risk assessment model for table beet production will be modified if needed after beta testing, then will be made available and promoted to growers is in year 2. -An annual weed emergence model is under development that tracks 8 different species using degree day developmental models. Collaboration continues among NYSIPM specialists, Cornell faculty in the Departments of Crop and Soil Science and Horticulture, the NEWA Coordinator, and meteorology staff at the Northeast Regional Climate Center. 13. Create educational materials on pollinator protection -We will create outreach materials that explains federal pesticide label language for protecting pollinators. 14. Enhance Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines for several commodities with IPM information - IPM information on NEWA models, biocontrol tactics, and weed management will be incorporated into the grape, tree fruit, berry, hops and vegetable guidelines. 15. Educate pesticide applicators about IPM with online Courses -We are planning to create Fruit IPM online courses, with the following projected timeline: By end of 2018:Vineyard IPM Strategies using NEWA; and Fire Blight Management using NEWA. -By August 2019: additional courses, including Grape Berry Moth Degree Day Model; Apple Scab Infection Risk and Ascospore Maturity; Sooty Blotch and Flyspeck Leaf Wetness Clock; and Apple Insect Models on NEWA, part 1 will be created. -Content will be added to the Late Blight online course template and sent out for review. 16. Develop a School IPM outreach package -Community IPM specialists will assemble the School IPM Package, adding to this pieces that are missing. For example, there is a need to identify or create instructions for schools to react to finding a bed bug in the classroom. 17. Provide IPM outreach to non-public schools -We will identify private schools that are interested in hosting IPM workshops, and conduct the workshops. -We will advertise the IPM metrics to private schools and encourage them to perform self-evaluations using the IPM Metrics (see #18). 18. Evaluate school IPM with IPM Metrics -Metrics will be modified as needed based on beta-testing, and then promoted to school facility managers.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
2: Expand public outreach on IPM of household pests: To expand on the popularity of bed bug information, we published a new resource "How to Get Bed Bugs Out of your Belongings", a guide to decontaminating and preserving regular household things that might have stray bed bugs. We speak to landscape and turfgrass managers and pest control professionals. Reaching the general public is now more easily accomplished through social media. From September 2017 through May 2018 we posted more than 350 times on Facebook with over 53,000 views. We have increased the number of resources on our tick IPM page and offer more tick awareness programs. We regularly teach Master Gardener Volunteers in all aspects of structural and landscape IPM. Our outreach materials include the IPM Image Gallery, tick IPM page, Insect Identification Center, and our new bed bug publication. 3: Expand and improve our IPM image gallery collection: Our IPM Image Gallery has been expanded to over 3,500 original pictures of pests, plants, insects, wildlife, landscapes, orchards, vineyards and farms. Keywords and links to relevant IPM webpages bring the viewer back to IPM-based scientific biological and management information. The IPM Image Gallery photos have been viewed 685,668 times since the account was upgraded to FlickrPRO in January 2017. Goal 4. Demonstrate alternative weed management: We purchased an innovative new cultivation machine that allows for usage of implements that target weeds in different ways, thereby improving overall effectiveness. The cultivator was delivered to our research farm and has been setup for upcoming demonstrations and research. Other necessary supplies, such as seed and plot markers, have also been delivered. 5. Conduct a pheromone trap network for sweet corn,snap beans, dry beans, and peppers: All cooperators were contacted, and supplies ordered and sent for the 2018 trapping season. New cooperators were trained. The first blog post for the 2018 season was posted on May 29, 2018 (103 subscribers). 7. Evaluation of IPM adoption by ornamental producers: YMG was hired to assist us in coordinating the IPM adoption surveys of ornamental producers that will be done over the 3 years of the project. The survey for Year 1 is for greenhouse floriculture production. The draft survey is based on a similar survey done in 2007. In order to evaluate the efficacy of the questions, a focus group will be convened in July 2018. YMG assisted with the planning for the focus group, including submitting documentation for Cornell's Institutional Review Board. 8. Creation and use of demonstration sites for Christmas tree IPM and beneficial insect/pollinator habitat: The Christmas tree demonstration plot is designed to allow a variety of trials over the span of growth of the trees. The field and planting plans were created based on this flexibility, a specific project on disease management in Douglas fir, and the evaluation of exotic conifer species of interest to NYS growers. Year 1 planting was done in May 2018 with 13 species of trees over approx. one acre. In order to demonstrate establishment options to growers, the plot plan has 7 different habitat establishment methods, including direct seeding in spring or fall, transplanting in spring or fall, the use of mulches, the use of a cover crop, and solarization prior to planting. Species were chosen for adaptation to the area and season of bloom. Planting for this part of the demonstration project will begin in June 2018. 9. Create extension education resources for fruit and hops: We created podcasts on grape and hops IPM that are publicly available on our website and advertised through multiple extension outlets. We delivered 4 presentations on Hops and Grape IPM that were attended by 333 people. 10. Research and extend IPM information for spotted wing drosophila: We created outreach blog posts on spotted wing Drosophila. We delivered 7 presentations on Spotted Wing Drosophila that were attended by 158 people. 11. Educate growers about NEWA: We created podcasts on NEWA that are publicly available on our website and advertised through multiple extension outlets. Over 350 growers and educators attended at least one of 8 presentations about NEWA (Network for Environment and Weather Applications). 12. Create additional NEWA tools to support vegetable production -Cercospora leaf spot risk assessment model for table beet production is in year 2 of beta testing. The lead researcher is evaluating the efficacy of this model at this time. -An annual weed emergence model is under development that tracks 8 different species using degree day developmental models. Collaboration continues among NYSIPM specialists, Cornell faculty in the Departments of Crop and Soil Science and Horticulture, the NEWA Coordinator, and meteorology staff at the Northeast Regional Climate Center. 13. Create educational materials on pollinator protection: The NYSIPM Program has added a webpage titled "Pollinators" to the NYSIPM website that features the NY State Pollinator Protection Plan, links to videos of the presentations at the NY Pollinator Conference, updates on neonicotinoids, bees and best management practices, and links to a variety of additional resources. Currently a plan is being developed to redesign the pollinator webpage as a "Pollinator Protection" page that highlights various challenges faced by pollinators (habitat loss, pollution, including pesticides, disease, etc.) and provide links to IPM-based information and solutions for these problems. Our goal is to focus on ways that IPM helps protect pollinator habitats and health. 14 Enhance Cornell Crop and Pest Management Guidelines for several commodities with IPM information: Weed management information and NEWA information was included in the NY & PA 2018 Grape Guidelines. 15 Educate pesticide applicators about IPM with online Courses: We delineated a timeline for creating Fruit IPM online courses to educate pesticide applicators. We are planning to create most of these courses, with the following projected timeline: By end of 2018: Vineyard IPM Strategies using NEWA; and Fire Blight Management using NEWA. By August 2019: Grape Berry Moth Degree Day Model; Apple Scab Infection Risk and Ascospore Maturity; Sooty Blotch and Flyspeck Leaf Wetness Clock; and Apple Insect Models on NEWA, part 1. By August 2020: Grape Disease Models and DMCast for Downy Mildew on NEWA; and Apple Insect Models on NEWA, part 2. For vegetables, a rough outline for a Late Blight online course was created. This will be a course pesticide applicators can take for DEC recertification credits that teaches them identification, hosts, biology, spread, and management of late blight. 16. Develop a School IPM outreach package: To improve school IPM resources, we first revised the fact sheet "Understanding and Managing Ticks- A Guide for Schools, Child Care and Camps". Through funding from another source, we have developed two new infographics on tick monitoring and habitat reduction for school grounds that will be included in the School IPM Package. In addition, fact sheets on head lice, the Child Safe Playing Fields Law, Canada geese, various stinging insects, rodents, inspection and monitoring forms and information about pest exclusion will become part of the School IPM Package. 18. Evaluate school IPM with IPM Metrics: The IPM Metrics Tool was piloted at three NY school districts in late 2017 and early 2018 to assess whether we could obtain a good picture of a district's pest management program within a short timeframe. With the exception of category 1, which provides district-wide policy information, these metrics are best to assess the IPM practices at the individual school level, rather than at district level.
