Non Technical Summary
The is an Extension Implementation Programproject titled "SDSU Integrated Pest Management: Agronomic Crops, Specialty Crops, Pollinator Health, Pesticide Applicators, Public Health and Diagnostic Clinics". The PI and program coordinator for this project is Adam Varenhorst an Assistant Professor at South Dakota State University. The administrative contact for this proposal is James Doolittle the Associate Vice President for Research at South Dakota State University. The Co-PI's are Paul Johnson, a Weeds Extension Specialist at South Dakota State University;Amanda Bachmann, Pesticide Education and Urban Entomology Specialist at South Dakota State University;and Emmanuel Byamukama, an Assistant Professor at South Dakota State University.The South Dakota Integrated Pest Management Program (SDIPM) was created 33 years ago to provide South Dakota stakeholders with up-to-date pest management recommendations. The overarching goal of the SDIPM program is to encourage stakeholders to make informed decisions for pest management to reduce input costs and environmental impacts of pesticides through the reduction of unnecessary and inappropriate applications. This goal has been achieved through the efforts of extension specialists who have provided information on the biology of pests, impacts of pesticides, environmental factors that influence pests, and pest forecasts.Through these efforts, the SDIPM program has helped stakeholders throughout South Dakota prevent pests from reaching economically damaging levels while also minimizing economic inputs and potential risks associated with human, property, and environmental impacts of the pesticides. The SDIPM program is recognized by stakeholders as a primary source for pest management expertise and up-to-date resources. Extension agronomy personnel use applied IPM research to explore current and alternative pest management strategies to optimize agricultural production in South Dakota while minimizingeconomic and environmental impacts.The personnel that compose the SDIPM program play an important role in identifying, promoting, and fostering IPM education and research efforts within South Dakota. These individuals collectively provide program leadership, support IPM development, and facilitate IPM discussions across multiple pest disciplines (e.g., general agronomy, entomology, pathology, and weed science).The 2017 EIP proposal for SDIPM is designed to address a broad-range of pest management issues related to IPM. These include identifying critical needs through the use of focus and advisory groups as well as direct stakeholder contacts. The SDIPM proposal emphasizes the need of providing professional agronomists, land managers, and other associated stakeholders with up-to-date IPM training and developing resources for insect, weeds, and plant disease management strategies. Annual activities will include the development of extension publications that will be provided to stakeholders at annual meetings, field days, and workshops.

Goals / Objectives
The first goal of this project is to develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota. An additional goal is to deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders (i.e., residents, producers, consultants, and additional members of the agricultural community). The final goal of this project is to prepare and publish electronic and hard copies of extension materials that will provide accurate pest updates, pest information and pest forecasts.
Project Methods
The many aspects of this project will be carried out through the collaborative efforts of the SDSU Extension Agronomy team through the supervision of Dr. Adam Varenhorst. Research demonstration plots will be set up for weeds, insects, and plant pathology at each of the SDSU research farms. These plots will be maintained and used for field days and IPM Field Schools.The identification guides, newsletters, Pest Management Guides will be produced by specialists in each field, and edited by Dr. Adam Varenhorst. They will be made available through electronic copies, and also through print copies that will be handed out at events throughout South Dakota.

Progress 09/01/21 to 08/31/22

Outputs
Target Audience:The target audience for this project are stakeholders in South Dakota. The methods for reaching the target audience were both in-person and virtual. The target audience reached included crop consultants, farmers, and private citizens. These groups were reached through webinars, electronic articles, digital identification guides, and multiple in-person events. The individuals in the target audiences were primarily Caucasian, non-Hispanic individuals. A subset of the individuals were Hispanic, Native American, or African American. Changes/Problems:During 2021-2022, many publications have been developed but the print design of these has taken more time than expected. Additional time is required for the outside bid process, which is ongoing. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Years 1-3: During the integrated pest management field school, extension personnel and agricultural professionals were provided with opportunities for professional development. This included participation in breakout sessions that did not include the extension professional's expertise. During these events information and demonstrations were provided to help both extension personnel and agricultural professionals in multiple disciplines. Year 4: The 2021 Crop Hour provided training and professional development in the form of 48 live webinars, available to anyone, over the course of 12 weeks beginning in January. Professionals were offered CEU credits after the end of each webinar to obtain requirements needed to maintain status as a Certified Crop Advisor. Similar to Crop Hour, the virtual IPM Field School also offered agronomic professionals the opportunity to obtain CEU credits by watching recorded demonstrations and presentations. CEU credits were only awarded if the participant passed a subsequent quiz. During the multiple field days, extension personnel and agricultural professionals were provided with opportunities for professional development. During these events, information and demonstrations were provided to help both extension personnel and agricultural professionals in multiple disciplines. Year 5: {Nothing to report} How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Years 1-5: The results from research projects have been summarized and will/have been presented to stakeholders in the forms of extension articles, fact sheets, and identification guides. To date, the published hand-outs have been presented to both agricultural and urban communities. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Nothing Reported

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: To develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota (on-going) Years 1-2: During 2018, demonstration plots were planted and managed by SDSU extension personnel for educational purposes at the South Dakota State University Volga Research Farm. These plots were used to educate attendees of field days and field schools on the importance of integrated pest management. The plots consisted of weed management demonstrations, cover crop demonstrations, insect resistant host plant demonstrations, and disease management demonstrations. Year 3: {Nothing to report} Year 4: In 2021, demonstration plots were planted and managed by SDSU extension personnel for educational purposes at all four research farms: Volga Research Farm, Southeast Research Farm, Northeast Research Farm, and West River Research Farm. These plots were used both for in-person field days and for recording video demonstrations for the virtual IPM Field School. The plots consisted of weed management demonstrations, cover crop demonstrations, insect resistant host plant demonstrations, insect scouting demonstrations, and disease management demonstrations for corn, soybean, and wheat. Year 5: {Nothing to report} Objective 2: To deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders (on-going) Years 1-2: By using a hands-on approach, attendees at field days were able to apply acquired knowledge to a real-world setting. The attendees of these events were agricultural professionals and farmers who indicated that they appreciated the demonstration plots over written materials or spoken presentations. Requests for additional demonstration/research plots were made for the 2019 season. In 2018, extension personnel hosted or presented information at four field days and two field schools for South Dakota stakeholders. The purpose of these meetings was to disseminate information obtained from research in South Dakota and surrounding states. Extension personnel also participated in two agricultural tradeshows and the South Dakota State Fair. The total contacts made at these events was approximately 12,000 stakeholders. In addition, extension personnel presented integrated pest management information to regional agricultural magazines and radio shows. The estimated contacts for these efforts were 200,000 stakeholders in both South Dakota and neighboring states. Year 3: {Nothing to report} Year 4: In 2021, extension personnel hosted and presented information at four field days and recorded demonstrations for one virtual field school. The purpose of these meetings was to disseminate information obtained from research in South Dakota and surrounding states. Extension personnel also participated in one agricultural tradeshow and the South Dakota State Fair. The total contacts made at these events was approximately 12,000 stakeholders. In addition, extension personnel presented integrated pest management information to regional agricultural magazines and radio shows. The estimated contacts for these efforts were 200,000 stakeholders in both South Dakota and neighboring states. Along with in-person resources, extension personnel expanded our virtual outreach as well. The weekly/monthly Pest and Crop Newsletter had approximately 30,865 stakeholders reached per article per quarter. Our Crop Hour held from January to March had a total of 2,528 unique viewers during the live presentations and currently has 2,710 views on YouTube. Year 5: In 2022, extension personnel produced five identification guides covering insect pests of sorghum, insect pests of alfalfa, common arthropods found in structures, and a more comprehensive identification guide on common spiders in South Dakota. These guides were developed to assist stakeholders with identifying pests and provided additional information on the pests including management. Objective 3: To prepare and publish electronic and hard copies of extension materials that will provide accurate pest updates, pest information and pest forecasts (on-going) Years 1-2: To address the final goal, extension personnel at South Dakota State University created pest management guides that will assist stakeholders with making integrated pest management decisions. These guides were handed out at field days, field schools, a tradeshow (Dakotafest) and the South Dakota State Fair. An estimated 1,000 copies of each publication were handed out through 2018. Year 3: {Nothing to report} Year 4: Pest management guides, identification guides, fact sheets, and newsletter articles were developed and published both in hard-copy and digital pdf during the on-going Covid-19 pandemic. These publications were handed out at in-person events and are available for download from the SDSU Extension website and the virtual IPM Field School. Year 5: Identification guides covering the management and identification of common spiders, arthropod invaders of structures, alfalfa pests, sorghum pests, and soybean gall midge have been developed. They are currently in print production.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: To develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota (on-going) Years 1-2: During 2018, demonstration plots were planted and managed by SDSU extension personnel for educational purposes at the South Dakota State University Volga Research Farm. These plots were used to educate attendees of field days and field schools on the importance of integrated pest management. The plots consisted of weed management demonstrations, cover crop demonstrations, insect resistant host plant demonstrations, and disease management demonstrations. Year 3: {Nothing to report} Year 4: In 2021, demonstration plots were planted and managed by SDSU extension personnel for educational purposes at all four research farms: Volga Research Farm, Southeast Research Farm, Northeast Research Farm, and West River Research Farm. These plots were used both for in-person field days and for recording video demonstrations for the virtual IPM Field School. The plots consisted of weed management demonstrations, cover crop demonstrations, insect resistant host plant demonstrations, insect scouting demonstrations, and disease management demonstrations for corn, soybean, and wheat. Year 5: {Nothing to report} Objective 2: To deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders (on-going) Years 1-2: By using a hands-on approach, attendees at field days were able to apply acquired knowledge to a real-world setting. The attendees of these events were agricultural professionals and farmers who indicated that they appreciated the demonstration plots over written materials or spoken presentations. Requests for additional demonstration/research plots were made for the 2019 season. In 2018, extension personnel hosted or presented information at four field days and two field schools for South Dakota stakeholders.

CEU credits were only awarded if the participant passed a subsequent quiz. During the multiple field days, extension personnel and agricultural professionals were provided with opportunities for professional development. During these events, information and demonstrations were provided to help both extension personnel and agricultural professionals in multiple disciplines. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results from research projects have been summarized and will/have been presented to stakeholders in the forms of extension articles, fact sheets, and identification guides. To date, the published hand-outs have been presented to both agricultural and urban communities. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Objective 1: To develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota (on-going) During the next reporting period the demonstration plots and field days will continue to be carried out. In addition, the IPM Field School will be held in-person at the Southeast Research Farm as well as continuing to be offered virtually. Objective 2: To deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders (on-going) During 2021, SDSU Agronomy Extension personnel hosted multiple in-person field days, extension events, and virtual webinars/schools. For the next reporting cycle, the virtual Crop Hour will also include four in-person workshops under the title of Cropping Systems Winter Road Show. These workshops will take place from January to February and be in locations that maximize coverage of South Dakota stakeholders. The IPM Field School will continue to be offered virtually but will also be held in-person at the Southeast Research Farm. These efforts will be realized through the collaborative efforts of SDSU Extension personnel. Objective 3: To prepare and publish electronic and hard copies of extension materials that will provide accurate pest updates, pest information and pest forecasts (on-going) In addition to continuing production of area-specific handouts regarding pests and beneficial insects, we will also be working as a collaborative team to produce management guides that focus on broader topics. Current efforts for electronic extension materials will be maintained.

    Impacts
    What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: To develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota (on-going) In 2021, demonstration plots were planted and managed by SDSU extension personnel for educational purposes at all four research farms: Volga Research Farm, Southeast Research Farm, Northeast Research Farm, and West River Research Farm. These plots were used both for in-person field days and for recording video demonstrations for the virtual IPM Field School. The plots consisted of weed management demonstrations, cover crop demonstrations, insect resistant host plant demonstrations, insect scouting demonstrations, and disease management demonstrations for corn, soybean, and wheat. Objective 2: To deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders (on-going) In 2021, extension personnel hosted and presented information at four field days and recorded demonstrations for one virtual field school. The purpose of these meetings was to disseminate information obtained from research in South Dakota and surrounding states. Extension personnel also participated in one agricultural tradeshow and the South Dakota State Fair. The total contacts made at these events was approximately 12,000 stakeholders. In addition, extension personnel presented integrated pest management information to regional agricultural magazines and radio shows. The estimated contacts for these efforts were 200,000 stakeholders in both South Dakota and neighboring states. Along with in-person resources, extension personnel expanded our virtual outreach as well. The weekly/monthly Pest and Crop Newsletter had approximately 30,865 stakeholders reached per article per quarter. Our Crop Hour held from January to March had a total of 2,528 unique viewers during the live presentations and currently has 2,710 views on YouTube. Objective 3: To prepare and publish electronic and hard copies of extension materials that will provide accurate pest updates, pest information and pest forecasts (on-going) Pest management guides, identification guides, fact sheets, and newsletter articles were developed and published both in hard-copy and digital pdf during the on-going Covid-19 pandemic. These publications were handed out at in-person events and are available for download from the SDSU Extension website and the virtual IPM Field School.

    Outputs
    Target Audience:The target audience for this project are stakeholders in South Dakota. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the methods for reaching the target audience were only virtual. The target audience reached included crop consultants, farmers and private citizens. The target audience were reached through webinars, electronic articles and digital identification guides. Changes/Problems:There was a global pandemic that affected our ability to conduct research. The pandemic also prevented face-to-face extension activities. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Nothing Reported How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest? Nothing Reported What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?During the next reporting period we will increase research efforts to make up for the lack of opportunities presented by 2020.

    Impacts
    What was accomplished under these goals? Pest management guides, identification guides, fact sheets and digital articles were worked on during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, due to guidelines enforced by South Dakota State University limited research efforts were allowed during 2020, which reduced the ability to conduct applied research projects for extension purposes.

    Target Audience:The target audience for the integrated pest management efforts included South Dakota stakeholders. This includes individuals that may be active in the public, private, and commercial sectors. Much of the focus of the efforts to date have been targeted to individuals who participate in agricultural activities in South Dakota. In addition, some efforts have targeted private home owners and urban dwelling individuals. The individuals in these group are primarily caucasian, non-hispanic individuals. A subset of the individuals are Hispanic, Native Americans or African Americans. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?During the events throughout South Dakota, extension personnel and agricultural professionals were provided with opportunities for professional development. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results from research projects have been summarized and will/have been presented to stakeholders in the forms of extension articles, fact sheets, and identification guides. To date, the published hand-outs have been presented to both agricultural and urban communities. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Objective 1: To develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota During the next reporting period, additional demonstration and also research plots will be established at the South Dakota State University Volga Research Farm. These plots will be used to highlight major topics for the SDSU IPM Field School, for a Pollinator Workshop, and for an SDSU Field Day. Objective 2: To deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders Each year the SDSU Agronomy Extension personnel host an IPM Field School, West River IPM Field School, Consultants workshop, and four field days hosted at research farm throughout Eastern SD. For the next reporting cycle a Pollinator Workshop and a Beekeeping workshop will also be created and hosted at the SDSU Volga Research Farm. These efforts will be realized through the collaborative efforts of SDSU Extension personnel. Objective 3: To prepare and publish electronic and hard copies of extension materials that will provide accurate pest updates, pest information and pest forecasts During the previous reporting cycle much of the efforts of the Extension personnel were focused on the successful hiring of an IPM Coordinator. The IPM Coordinator is in position and has been working diligently to produce new integrated pest management materials.

    Impacts
    What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: To develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota (on-going) During 2019, demonstration plots were not planted due to an abnormally wet spring in South Dakota. The field school that would have used these demonstration plots was therefore cancelled for 2019. We are planning to plant the demonstration plots and host the field school in 2020, weather permitting. Objective 2: To deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders (on-going) Due to weather challenges, we focused on producing print materials in 2019. We produced two fact sheets and two identification guides. In addition, extension personnel also participated in two agricultural tradeshows and the South Dakota State Fair. The total contacts made at these events was approximately 13,000 stakeholders. In addition, extension personnel presented integrated pest management information to regional agricultural magazines and radio shows. The estimated contacts for these efforts is 400,000 stakeholders in both South Dakota and neighboring states. Objective 3: To prepare and publish electronic and hard copies of extension materials that will provide accurate pest updates, pest information and pest forecasts (on-going) In 2019, extension personnel at South Dakota State University created pest management guides that will assist stakeholders with making integrated pest management decisions. These guides were handed out at field days, field schools, a tradeshow (Dakotafest) and the South Dakota State Fair. An estimated 2,000 copies of each publication were handed out through 2019.

    Outputs
    Target Audience:The target audience for the integrated pest management efforts included South Dakota stakeholders. These individuals that may be active in the public, private, and commercial sectors. Much of the focus of the efforts to date have been targeted to individuals who participate in agricultural activities in South Dakota. In addition, some efforts have targeted private home owners and urban dwelling individuals. The individuals in these group are primarily caucasian, non-hispanic individuals. A subset of the individuals are Hispanic, Native Americans or African Americans. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?During the integrated pest management field school, extension personnel and agricultural professionals were provided with opportunities for professional development. This included participation in breakout sessions that did not include the extension professional's expertise. During these events information and demonstrations were provided to help both extension personnel and agricultural professionals in multiple disciplines. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results from research projects have been summarized and will/have been presented to stakeholders in the forms of extension articles, fact sheets and identification guides. To date, the published hand-outs have been presented to both agricultural and urban communities. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Objective 1: To develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota During the next reporting period, additional demonstration and also research plots will be established at the South Dakota State University Volga Research Farm. These plots will be used to highlight major topics for the SDSU IPM Field School, for a Pollinator Workshop, and for an SDSU Field Day. Objective 2: To deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders Each year the SDSU Agronomy Extension personnel host an IPM Field School, West River IPM Field School, Consultants workshop, and four field days hosted at research farm throughout Eastern SD. For the next reporting cycle a Pollinator Workshop and a Beekeeping workshop will also be created and hosted at the SDSU Volga Research Farm. These efforts will be realized through the collaborative efforts of SDSU Extension personnel. Objective 3: To prepare and publish electronic and hard copies of extension materials that will provide accurate pest updates, pest information and pest forecasts During the previous reporting cycle much of the efforts of the Extension personnel were focused on the successful hiring of an IPM Coordinator. Now that the IPM Coordinator is in position, we anticipate a significant increase in publication production. In addition to area-specific handouts regarding pests and beneficial insects, we will also be working as a collaborative team to produce management guides that focus on broader topics. Current efforts for electronic extension materials will be maintained.

    Impacts
    What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: To develop applied research projects that will be used for demonstration and outreach programs in collaboration with SDSU Extension agronomy and agronomy related specialists in South Dakota (on-going) During 2018, demonstration plots were planted and managed by SDSU extension personnel for educational purposes at the South Dakota State University Volga Research Farm. These plots were used to educate attendees of field days and field schools on the importance of integrated pest management. The plots consisted of weed management demonstrations, cover crop demonstrations, insect resistant host plant demonstrations, and disease management demonstrations. Objective 2: To deliver IPM resources through the development and deployment of extension programs for South Dakota stakeholders (on-going) By using a hands on approach, attendees at field days were able to apply acquired knowledge to a real world setting. The attendees of these events were agricultural professionals and also farmers who indicated that they appreciated the demonstration plots over written materials or spoken presentations. Requests for additional demonstration/research plots were made for the 2019 season. In 2018, extension personnel hosted or presented information at four field days and two field schools for South Dakota stakeholders. The purpose of these meetings was to disseminate information obtained from research in South Dakota and surrounding states. Extension personnel also participated in two agricultural tradeshows and the South Dakota State Fair. The total contacts made at these events was approximately 12,000 stakeholders. In addition, extension personnel presented integrated pest management information to regional agricultural magazines and radio shows. The estimated contacts for these efforts is 200,000 stakeholders in both South Dakota and neighboring states. Objective 3: To prepare and publish electronic and hard copies of extension materials that will provide accurate pest updates, pest information and pest forecasts (on-going) To address the final goal, extension personnel at South Dakota State University created pest management guides that will assist stakeholders with making integrated pest management decisions. These guides were handed out at field days, field schools, a tradeshow (Dakotafest) and the South Dakota State Fair. An estimated 1,000 copies of each publication were handed out through 2018.
