Non Technical Summary
This project is run by the Oregon Integrated Pest Management Center (OIPMC) at Oregon State University (Coop, administrative contact; Rondon, OIPMC Director; Hedstrom, IPM coordinator) for Oregon which addresses the primary area "IPM Implementation in Specialty Crops" (95% of budget), and the secondary area "Wide-Area Pest Monitoring and Reporting" (5%). The OIPMC acts as a hub of IPM information for Oregon and beyond, with a transdisciplinary program that fully integrates social and scientific dimensions to maximize uptake and implementation of IPM. The Center's program for IPM implementation in specialty crops centers on risk assessment and decision support tools developed in collaboration with regional and national partners. We will maintain a state IPM program website, issue monthly newsletters about current news and projects, develop a modular suite of bilingual IPM training tools (videos, handouts, extension publications), and host conferences to maintain timely information flow to our partners. We will continue to be a part of regional IPM working groups (Western Region State IPM Directors and the Western Pesticide Risk Management Network) and work directly with USDA Regional IPM Centers and land-grant universities to increase knowledge of IPM, provide advice, and distribute information.For the primary area "IPM Implementation in Specialty Crops" portion of this project, we will engage Extension agents and other agricultural and industry stakeholders to assess needs and set priorities using IPM strategic planning in multiple cropping systems including nursery crops, broccoli, and cabbage. We will compile economic data on pest losses and production costs to assess IPM impacts, and pesticide use for individual crops, with a focus on mint, onion, and cranberry. Through our consultative IPM strategic planning and Crop Pest Losses Impact Assessment processes, stakeholders identify critical IPM needs that call for extensive collaborative work to support IPM adoption across the state. They guide our IPM Extension education network and provide the basis for program design and evaluation. As part of our IPM communications plan, we will host an annual summit that connects IPM staff and faculty, and collaboratively design extension education and outreach materials that provide knowledge and training that stakeholders need to address specific IPM priorities. To address production risks associated with adverse climate and weather events and pest challenges, we will continue to develop and provide OIPMC pest and crop phenology models (targeted at five new models per year) at USPest.org (http://uspest.org/wea/). We will greatly expand our subscription based email alert system for phenology and plant disease infection risk models. We will incorporate an improved 8-90 day forecast to better inform pest and crop phenology predictions.For our secondary priority area, we will help maintain the VegNet program, which is a wide-area insect pest monitoring and alert system at Oregon State University that supports the university's effort to foster sustainable food and farming programs. Onboarding VegNet with the OIPMC will serve to improve cohesiveness in grower relations, survey administration, and pest loss assessments involved with addressing primary area EIP objectives.In these efforts, we directly address the Crop Protection and Pest Management program goals of promoting the adoption and improvement of IPM practices to increase economic sustainability and reduce environmental and health risks.

Goals / Objectives
Objective 1) IPM Strategic Plans: The IPM Strategic Plans (IPMSP) process documents critical research, education, and regulatory needs of specialty crops stakeholders specifically related to IPM. Our periodic engagement with stakeholders and Extension agents for IPMSP revisions provides an ongoing assessment of IPM and enables rapid response to emerging needs of an industry. Our goal is to continue our successful program of development of new and revised IPM Strategic Plans (IPMSPs), in line with goals and mission of the regional IPM Centers since the early 2000's. We will initiate two new IPMSPs in ornamental nursery and brassicas by Spring 2022. We have not committed yet to specific new or revised IPMSPs, but there is sufficient funding and personnel to perform several more over the term of this three year EIP project. Success of these efforts will be enhanced by the hiring of a new OIPMC Director (Prof. Silvia Rondon, July 1, 2021), strong industry buy-in as evidenced by 10 IPMSP publications issued by the Oregon State University (OSU) Extension Service over just the past three years (mint x2, onions x2, cranberries, pears, potatoes, hazelnuts, cherries, IPMSP practical guide), support from the Western Region IPM Center, and regional collaboration with nearby states.Objective 2) Crop Pest Losses Impact Assessment (CPLIA): The CPLIA is a recurring survey given to growers and crop consultants of a specific industry that collects data on seasonal pest pressure, production costs, and the adoption and impact of new technologies. Following CPLIA surveys, OIPMC publishes detailed target crop reports that allow us to assess IPM impacts, develop powerful impact statements for IPM, and collaboratively develop education programs. Our goal is to update up to three specialty crop industries (mint, onion, and cranberry) for Oregon and surrounding states. We will continue to develop and update the CPLIA database and web-based survey tools, and develop these as reports and associated education programming. The web-based survey will be updated for efficiency.Objective 3) IPM Outreach and Education for enhanced Engagement and Implementation: We will continue to produce and improve our IPM newsletter, website and listservs, and communications with IPM stakeholders. Our IPM Coordinator will continue to provide leadership as chair of the Oregon State Agency IPM Committee and the OSU IPM Working Group. Likewise we will continue to host a yearly IPM research and extension summit meeting to connect staff and faculty working in IPM. We will create a modular suite of IPM training materials that specifically address the IPM educational needs requested from stakeholders, and make them available via the OIPMC website. We will focus on topics common to IPM in multiple crops including those requested through IPMSPs. Content will include short videos, scripted presentations, and handouts that cover specific IPM topics in a unified style. We will produce two or more modules per year. At least one half of these will also be translated into Spanish. Themes will include field demonstrations, grower interviews and success stories, and motion graphics or animation. These may include new technologies such as new social media or learning apps. The content will be modular and able to be combined with other modules for extended thematic instruction, or used singly and added to existing training programs. We will work on content in collaboration with colleagues from other states and organizations such as those at New Mexico State University and the Western IPM Center and integrate it into a comprehensive online training and certification program for IPM practitioners through OSU's well established online E-campus and PACE programs.Objective 4) Climate and Weather-Based Decision Support: We will continue to add models to our extensive model database at USPEST.ORG (http://uspest.org/wea/) and develop "push" email advisories for all 137 phenology (degree-day) models. We plan to add an average of five or more new phenology (degree-day) models for pests, beneficials, or crops to our system per year, which have already been requested by stakeholders, including models for grape mealybug, imported cabbageworm, and pear psylla. Updates and enhancements to our "MyPest Page" multi-model dashboard system will be limited to resolving bugs and issues raised by end-users unless other sources of funding are obtained. We will also continue to gather feedback on the organization of USPest.org from stakeholders via an annual survey, usability testing, and more informal communications. We have contracted with Fox Weather, LLC who will resurrect and update their custom 8-90 day extended forecast to enhance the performance of our database of phenology models. We will continue to maintain other modeling features including our use of the National Weather Service 7-day forecast.Objective 5: (Secondary EIP Area) IPM Partnerships in Wide-Area Pest Monitoring and Reporting Systems: VegNet is a wide-area insect pest monitoring and alert system at OSU that supports the university's effort to foster sustainable food and farming programs. The VegNet program serves vegetable producers and high-value industries such as mint and grass seedby sending weekly reports of pest monitoring results and interpretations of pest activity during the growing season. Specific sub-objectives for this secondary EIP area are to: a) Continue the VegNet program for common insect pests of vegetable and other crops in the Willamette Valley; b) Strengthen institutional cohesiveness within OSU to increase knowledge and adoption of IPM by brassica growers (Objective 1); c) Collaborate on IPM education efforts to reduce redundancy in communication strategies (Objective 3); and d) Analyze long-term pest monitoring data to inform, strengthen, and calibrate existing insect pest phenology models at USPest.org (Objective 4). The scope of work for the last sub-objective will be reduced (e.g., fewer species modeled) to better align with budget constraints and stakeholder needs.
Project Methods
Objective 1) IPM Strategic Plans: We will follow the methodology for updating IPMSPs as described in the OSU Extension publication "Integrated Pest Management Strategic Planning: A Practical Guide" (https://catalog.extension.oregonstate.edu/em9238/html). IPMSPs that have not been updated for five years or more will be prioritized.Objective 2) Crop Pest Losses Impact Assessment (CPLIA): The CPLIA is a highly-interactive, in-person survey that collects yield loss, pest pressure, pesticide application, and management cost data. We tap our statewide network of growers, Extension personnel, and agricultural professionals to recruit IPM consultants from specific field cropping systems, and convene survey events. During the survey, respondents are provided with one-on-one technical assistance from Extension agents and OIPMC staff. The COVID-19 pandemic created an opportunity to develop remote survey methodology to supplement our in-person surveys, allowing our program to include potential respondents from remote and previously under-served agricultural communities.Objective 3) IPM Outreach and Education for enhanced Engagement and Implementation: To create the IPM Educational Modules, we will begin by identifying and convening collaborators to define topics, source reference materials, and outline learning objectives. Scheduling and scripting will be done prior to field season. During field seasons, we will collect video content and seasonally-dependent footage of the identified IPM activities. Off seasons will be used to create and edit footage. Fall and Winter following the first year of production will also be used to refine and revisit methodology and test content with our audiences.Objective 4) Climate and Weather-Based Decision Support: We will gradually build upon our long-existing platform with new models, features, and updates to infrastructure. Development of new phenology (degree-day) models will involve gathering and re-analyzing data from previously published studies on the development and life cycle of the target species. For making updates and enhancements to our "MyPest Page" multi-model dashboard system, we will focus on re-designing and re-writing code for end-user interfaces to provide more accessible mobile-adapted and email "push" notifications of model results. This will meet the challenges of changing stakeholder preferences and changing technologies. In following our methods from previous years, we will implement end-user usability studies in which untrained users are asked to navigate our products while "thinking out loud" to help expose flaws or obstacles to the interface design. User feedback will continue to be integral to making decisions on how to improve the design of new and updated model products and interfaces, including the "push" system and the dashboard components of the "MyPest Page."Objective 5) (Secondary EIP Area) IPM Partnerships in Wide-Area Pest Monitoring and Reporting Systems: Methodology for the secondary EIP priority is briefly described at https://beav.es/ZG7. We use available tools such as historical datasets, published scientific literature, and growing-degree day models to estimate how flight activity of adult insects relates to development and subsequent potential for larval pressure. Pheromone-baited traps and unbaited yellow sticky cards are placed near vegetable production fields and data collection is augmented with periodic soil sampling and sweep netting. Trap counts detect comparative increases in pest activity. If available, a growing-degree day model is used to estimate when pest larvae might be present. Alerts are sent to program subscribers using an email marketing platform, and additional relevant information is posted on an OSU companion blog site.

Outputs
Target Audience:- Decision makers and advisors to decision makers (growers, farm managers, crop consultants, chemical sales representatives, ag fieldmen) that manage crops in the state of Oregon, and in many cases, in the region of the Pacific Northwest, and in the full US - Extension agents for the same regions, especially the county Extension agents and statewide Extension specialists in Oregon, but not limited to just Oregon. - Other professionals in agriculture and forestry in the region, including other industry personnel, local state and national government agency personnel. - Academics in IPM (researchers, support staff, students) - Participants in pesticide recertification courses which the Oregon IPM Center is involved with including agriculturists, foresters, and non-crop pesticide applicators. Changes/Problems:Our center has been challenged by numerous transitions in personnel in the past several years, along with changes in physical re-locations due to building renovations. We hired two new IPM Educators (T. Jima and P. Sotelo-Cardona) into our center Oct 2023 and Jan 2024, a part-time office administrator, and two part-time Extension professionals to assist in meeting project objectives, especially Solve Pest Problems (Danler) and in video and related media production (Formiga). We are very fortunate to have this new team and plan to complete all objective in the no-cost extension interval. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?- We have increased our involvement in mentoring and training through internships in the past year in part due to our new center director (Rondon). Mentorship of numerous scientists, graduate students, and involvement with undergraduate students through internships (four students) and revival of the undergraduate "Bug Club" are examples. - A new course in Ecological and IPM modeling was taught in 2023 and 2024 (Barker, Coop) and is slated to continue for at least one more year. - Presentations for pesticide recertification credits in Oregon provided by OIPMC: these courses are designed to introduce or reinforce the use of IPM to professional pesticide applicators in a variety of sectors, including agriculture, forestry and urban/non-crop. Over the last year, presentations have focused on simplifying the core concepts of IPM and offering practical advice and real-world examples on how to implement IPM strategies into existing pest management programs, especially in the non-crop and landscape sector. Oregon IPM Center staff has delivered IPM information in person or online ten (12) times to approximately 1,200 licensed pesticide applicators in the past year. Participants ranked the Oregon IPM Center speakers highly regarding helpful content and presentation style. - We are beginning a new program "Solve Pest Problems" which provides a new outreach interface to the public to address the latest IPM needs and promote extension materials. - Post-presentation surveys over the last year conducted by OSU's Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP) have indicated that these presentations are well-received, with scores for useful content, presentation style and skill explaining things were ranked as "excellent" (65%) or good (35%). How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Via websites, newsletters, webinars, blogs, emails, seminars, conference presentations, trainings, workshops, field days, Extension publications, Scientific Journal publications, and one-on-one interactions. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?(1) IPM Implementation in Specialty Crops (94.8% of budget) - We have not substantively changed project objectives for this no-cost-extension year four of the project. As we have changes in personnel outlined below, some of our final objectives have changed slightly going forward. - For Objective 1, we will continue to develop two new IPMSPs, for blueberry and hemp. These will also be supported through external funding and through the next EIP award. - For Objective 2, as we have completed all planned CPLIAs, and no longer have the personnel with experience in this area, we have replaced this objective with activities associated with objective three. In particular our new program, known as "Solve Pest Problems Project", has been expanded. - For Objective 3, We have increased our partnerships with local and regional groups interested in the expansion of our IPM programming including federal agencies and partners from other university institutions and private industry. - We will continue to develop media, and training modules, including work on a new grasshopper management outreach and training workshop, for which partial external funded was secured. We will develop new training modules on use of the USPest.org decision support website, and a series called "5 minutes in the Field" which highlights IPM research and outreach actiivities. - We have begun a new project, "Herbicide Resistance Management in E. Oregon" that will engage growers and agricultural professionals with the latest information and training on this urgent issue. - For Objective 4, we will continue to improve promotion of the new "push" email notification system for pest models and other services, primarily via new video tutorials. (2) IPM Partnerships in Wide-Area Pest Monitoring and Reporting Systems (5% of budget) - For Objective 5, we will continue to run the VegNet monitoring program and help to expand the new "Oregon Pest Monitoring Network" real-time pest dashboard system. Chiefly, we aim to add the Hood River tree fruit monitoring program during the next year.

Progress 09/01/22 to 08/31/23

Outputs
Target Audience:- Decision makers and advisors to decision makers (growers, farm managers, crop consultants, chemical sales representatives, ag fieldmen) that manage crops in the state of Oregon, and in many cases, in the region of the Pacific Northwest, and in the full US. - Extension agents for the same regions, especially the county Extension agents and statewide Extension specialists in Oregon, but not limited to just Oregon. - Other professionals in agriculture and forestry in the region, including other industry personnel, local state and national government agency personnel. - Academics in IPM (researchers, support staff, students) - Participants in pesticide recertification courses which the Oregon IPM Center is involved with including agriculturists, foresters, and non-crop pesticide applicators. Changes/Problems:Our center has been challenged by numerous transitions in personnel in the past sveral years, along with COVID-19 related issues. We expect to bring two new IPM Educators into our center in the next month or two, that will greatly expand our capacity to promote IPM in the state and region. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?We have increased our involvement in mentoring and training through internships in the past year in part due to our new center director (Rondon). Mentorship of numerous scientists, graduate students, and involvement with undergraduate students through interships (three students) and revival of the undergraduate "Bug Club" are examples. A new course in Ecological and IPM modeling was started in 2023 and is slated to continue for at least two more years. Presentations for pesticide recertification credits in Oregon provided by OIPMC: these courses are designed to introduce or reinforce the use of IPM to professional pesticide applicators in a variety of sectors, including agriculture, forestry and urban/non-crop. Over the last year, presentations have focused on simplifying the core concepts of IPM and offering practical advice and real-world examples on how to implement IPM strategies into existing pest management programs, especially in the non-crop and landscape sector. We are beginning a new program "Solve Pest Problems" which provides a new outreach interface to the public to address the latest IPM needs and promote extension materials. Post-presentation surveys over the last year conducted by OSU's Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP) have indicated that these presentations are well-received, with scores for useful content, presentation style and skill explaining things were ranked as "excellent" (65%) or good (35%). A single respondent of 220 rated the presentations as "needing improvement". How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Via websites, newsletters, webinars, blogs, emails, seminars, conference presentations, trainings, workshops, field days, Extension publications, Scientific Journal publications, and one-on-one interactions. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?(1) IPM Implementation in Specialty Crops (94.8% of budget) - We have not substantively changed project objectives for year three of the project. As we have a change in personnel, and have two new IPM Educators in the midst of the hiring process, some of our year three objectives may change slightly going forward. - For Objective 1, we will continue our update of the IPMSP for sugar beets. New and updated IPMSPs for other crops will be determined shortly. We are considering updates to our hop and winegrape IPMSPs. - For Objective 2, as we have completed all planned CPLIAs, and no longer have the personnel with experience in this area, we plan to replace this objective with an increase to activities associated with objective three. In particular our new program, known as "Solve Pest Problems Project", will be expanded. Our involvement in outreach and education involving invasive species such as emerald ash borer is also being expanded at this time. - For Objective 3, We have increased our partnerships with local and regional groups interested in the expansion of our IPM programming including federal agencies and partners from other university institutions and private industry. - We will continue to develop media, training modules, including completion of "Effects of Preventative Sprays on Natural Enemies", and outreach events to promote IPM in most or all crops in the region. - We will be starting a new project, "Herbicide Resistance Management in E. Oregon" that will engage growers and agricultural professionals with the latest information and training on this urgent issue. - For Objective 4, we will continue to improve promote the new "push" email notification system for pest models. - There are several new IPM and invasive pest models that are either in development or under consideration. We plan to implement new models for grapevine mealybug, Northern Asian hornet, colorado potato beetle, Prionus beetle, and to revise the model for brown marmorated stink bug. - We will begin creating new model "white pages" to better document and support uptake of existing models, with the goal of publishing 10 white pages per year moving forward. -We also have begun a new model usage reporting system that will be put into production to better inform users and decision makers about the popularity of our models and where they are used. We will be adding these results to our annual update of model adoption and usage. - Our work with a multi-regional and multi-cropping email-based "pest alert system" is undergoing testing at this time. We expect to merge this system with our multi-region wide-area monitoring reporting and dashboard system during the coming year. (2) IPM Partnerships in Wide-Area Pest Monitoring and Reporting Systems (5% of budget) - For Objective 5, as discussed above, we will continue to run the VegNet monitoring program and help to expand the new "Oregon Pest Monitoring Network" real-time pest dashboard system. Chiefly, we aim to add the Hood River tree fruit monitoring program during the next year. - We are planning to focus this year on analysis of long term monitoring data to help validate phenology models, and to detect trends in pest outbreaks. Our plan is to analyze data for three major vegetable pests: variegated cutworm, black cutworm, and corn earworm during this year. - We have a new collaboration with the Corn Rootworm IPM Regional Working Group and will be partnering in their monitoring efforts: https://cornrootworm.extension.iastate.edu/

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? (1) IPM Implementation in Specialty Crops (94.8% of budget) Objective 1) IPM Strategic Plans (IPMSPs): - IPM Strategic Planning for Oregon's Ornamental Nursery Crops was published July 2022. (Hedstrom and Sandlin 2022). - IPM Strategic Planning for NW Organic and Conventional Brassicas included a working group meeting Jan. 16, 2023. The publication is currently in review and should be published by July 2023. - Plans to participate in an update of the IPM Strategic Planning for Sugar Beets is currently in development with faculty at the University of Idaho for 2023 (10% complete). - Overall percentage complete for this objective: ca. 80%. Objective 2) Crop Pest Losses Impact Assessment (CPLIA): - During this reporting period, CPLIAs were completed and published for for pests of hazelnuts in Oregon (Oct. 2022; Murray et al. 2022a), and for pests on Oregon sweet cherries (Dec. 2022; Murray et al. 2022b), - All planned CPLIAs have been completed; this project is now complete which will allow us to focus on our other objectives (100% completed). Objective 3) IPM Outreach and Education for enhanced Engagement and Implementation: - Continue to produce and improve our IPM newsletter, website and listservs, and communications with IPM stakeholders. - Provide leadership as chair of the Oregon State Agency IPM Committee and the OSU IPM Working Group. - Continue to host a yearly IPM research and extension summit meeting to connect staff and faculty working in IPM. - Create a modular suite of IPM training materials that address IPM needs expressed by our stakeholders, and make them available via the OIPMC website, at a rate of two modules or more per year, and at least one also translated into Spanish. - Oregon IPM Center (OIPMC) continues to publish an email newsletter each month, which is focused on IPM research, news, jobs and events (ongoing, 100% complete to date). It is currently sent to nearly 300 subscribers, and forwarded to multiple relevant listservs, including university departments, state agencies and industries. - The IPM Committee for Oregon's State Agencies met on July 13, 2022 and on January 25, 2023. The next meeting is currently scheduled for July 2023. The 2022 Biennial Report was published April 2023 (ongoing, 100% complete to date). - OIPMC staff continue to be available for collaboration and help where needed for presentations, such as pesticide recertification seminars and advisory boards (Silvia Rondon currently serves on the advisory board for the Oregon Bee Project and the OSU IPM Advisory Board) (ongoing, 100% complete to date). - In this past year of reporting, our group has given presentations at ca. 78 IPM related meetings and extension outreach events, reaching at least 3,200 attendees in total. - Our group has continued to publish in peer-reviewed extension, scientific journals, and book chapters, totaling ca. 18 publications during this reporting interval. - Chris Hedstrom served as the lead organizer of the PNW Insect Management Conf. for 2023, focused on current IPM research in the region (ongoing, 100% complete to date). - Two IPM Training modules are currently in development (50% complete). The modules will focus on natural enemy identification in commercial hazelnuts (Complete) and effects of preventative sprays on natural enemies (in development). - OIPMC also has increased its presence in social media (ongoing, ca. 50% complete). Our Linkedin account has increased over 150% in the last 6 months. - Our annual IPM summit that brings together OSU faculty from around the state is slated for Fall 2023. - Overall completion for this objective: ca. 75%. Objective 4) Climate and Weather-Based Decision Support: - Our new "push" email notification system has been expanded to include 142 DD models, 11 plant disease infection risk models, and for user-specified custom degree-day needs. These 153 (plus custom) models are linked to over 33,000 observing weather stations integrated with 7-day, 3-month and 9-month weather forecasts, making USPEST.ORG the most extensive and robust agricultural pest modeling decision support system in the U.S. to our knowledge. Thus far, 204 user accounts have been created, with an average of 2.4 models subscribed to per user account. While further promotional activities, enhancements and requests for additional features may trigger additional developments, this objective has otherwise been fully completed (97% complete). - New features have been programmed into our main modeling platform, including ability for end-users to upload custom weather data to run our models, and to download model outputs as .CSV files for spreadsheet analysis. - New or revised models which have been added to our modeling database under this project include an updated model for emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis), an updated boxwood blight infection risk model, and new models for boxwood leafminer (Monarthiopalpus flavus), and for spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula). (50% complete). - Model run tallies indicate continued popularity of phenology models at USPEST.ORG, reaching over 79,000 during 2022. - We are in the process of migrating to a new enterprise-level computer server, with ca. three times the speed and storage capacity as compared to our current main server. In total we have 5 enterprise level servers for data processing, model runs, and web serving. - A new DDRP model with interactive mapping interface was customized for emerald ash borer in Oregon, where an ongoing outbreak began in July 2022. - A new scientific publication on modeling of emerald ash borer phenology and climate suitability was submitted for peer review June 2023. - We are testing development of a new "Pest Alert System", to be integrated with our wide-area pest monitoring networks intended to provide improved data visualizations and model predictions, as part of our "Dashboard Component" programming efforts (35% complete). - We have increased our rate of promotion of our modeling system, with at least 15 invited talks promoting uspest.org and its models and at least four separate presentations promoting the use of these models for decision support at PSEP training events. - Overall this objective is ca. 80% complete. IPM Partnerships in Wide-Area Pest Monitoring and Reporting Systems (5% of budget) Objective 5) Expand and improve the VegNet Monitoring Network. The VegNet vegetable pest monitoring program continues its more than 25 years of trapping major pests impacting vegetable production in Western Oregon, as a service to the fresh market and processing industries. The service is also widely used by agronomic sales reps and home gardeners. - Monitoring of 10 vegetable crop pests was conducted for 16 weeks and email reports were sent to the subscriber list (100% complete for 2022; 2023 season just beginning). - The new Oregon Pest Monitoring Network interface was successfully launched in 2022 in partnership with Seth Dorman, USDA-ARS Entomologist - grass seed and related crops. The new website, https://beav.es/iRT incorporates real-time dashboard visualizations of pest status with a "Report a Pest!" feature, email list, and visualizations of key pests for past years. The system integrates monitoring networks in grass seed, clover, and vegetable crops in Eastern and Western Oregon. - Future efforts will be to expand the system into other regions and cropping systems including tree fruits (75% compete).

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

Outputs
Target Audience:- Pest management decision makers and advisors to decision makers (growers, farm managers, crop consultants, chemical sales representatives, ag fieldmen) that manage crops in the state of Oregon, and in many cases, in the region of the Pacific Northwest, and in the full US. - Nurseries, homeowners, gardeners, landscape managers, the general public. - Extension agents for the same regions, especially the county Extension agents and statewide Extension specialists in Oregon, but not limited to just Oregon. - Academics in IPM (researchers, support staff, students) - Participants in pesticide recertification courses which the Oregon IPM Center is involved with including agriculturists, foresters, and non-crop pesticide applicators. p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; orphans: 2; widows: 2 }p.western { ; so-language: en-US }p.cjk { ; so-language: zh-CN }p.ctl { ; so-language: hi-IN }a:visited { color: #954f72 }a.western:visited { so-language: en-US }a.cjk:visited { so-language: zh-CN }a.ctl:visited { so-language: hi-IN }a:link { color: #0563c1 }a.western:link { so-language: en-US }a.cjk:link { so-language: zh-CN }a.ctl:link { so-language: hi-IN Changes/Problems:Our new OIPMC Director, Silvia Rondon, began July 1, 2021. Dr. Rondon currently serves as Co-PD (R&R profile with biosketch and C&P attached; no salary requested). Our CPLIA lead, Isaac Sandlin, left our program in March 2022 for a position at the Oregon Dept. of Agriculture. We will be seeking a replacement for the position. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided? Presentations for pesticide recertification credits in Oregon provided by OIPMC: these courses are designed to introduce or reinforce the use of IPM to professional pesticide applicators in a variety of sectors, including agriculture, forestry and urban/non-crop. Over the last year, presentations have focused on simplifying the core concepts of IPM and offering practical advice and real-world examples on how to implement IPM strategies into existing pest management programs, especially in the non-crop and landscape sector. We also developed a talk about herbicide resistance to explain the what, why, and how: what is resistance, why is it a problem, and how can you help to slow it down? Post-presentation surveys over the last year conducted by OSU's Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP) have indicated that these presentations are well-received, with scores for useful content, presentation style and skill explaining things were ranked as "excellent" (65%) or good (35%). A single respondent of 220 rated the presentations as "needing improvement". Served on numerous graduate student committees (L. Coop): 16 How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Via websites, webinars, blogs, emails, seminars, conference presentations, Oregon IPM summit, trainings, workshops, field days, Extension publications, scientific journal publications, and one-on-one interactions. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?- For Objective 1, we will continue our update of the IPMSP for sugar beets. Other crop IPMSPs will be determined shortly. Major candidates are to perform updates of our hop and winegrape IPMSPs. - For Objective 2, we will likely decrease our participation in future CPLIAs due to the funding reduction. Also, subject to replacement of CPLIA lead (Sandlin), we have not yet determined if this objective will be replaced by others. As CPLIAs are designed to be regularly updated, we may focus on updating existing crops and not add new ones to the program. - For Objective 3, we have increased our partnership with local and regional groups interested in the expansion of our IPM programming including federal agencies and partners from other university institutions and private industry. - For Objective 4, we will continue to promote the new "push" email notification system for pest models. Additionally, we will collaborate with USDA ARS scientists to develop a multi-regional and multi-cropping email-based "pest alert system" which will incorporate wide-area monitoring data and data visualizations, as well as pest model forecasts as appropriate, to serve agricultural stakeholder needs in Oregon. We expect to have prototypes of this system working for at least two regional monitoring networks (grass seed crops and vegetables in the Willamette Valley) by the end of year two. We expect to add the Oregon potato production region, and the Mid-Columbia fruit production regions by year 3 of this program. - For Objective 5, we will continue to develop the new pest alert system that provides visualizations of pest activities. We are planning a few training events to highlight the new system and how to access the data. Pest monitoring will continue for the next year, and we have expanded our efforts into specialty seed, as requested by a local association (Specialty Seed Growers of Western Oregon).

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1) IPM Strategic Plans (IPMSPs): Our objective is to initiate new IPMSPs in ornamental nursery and brassicas by spring 2022. IPMSPs serve the commodity industries, decision makers, and researchers in prioritizing research in finding and funding new ways to manage pest problems. The newer format adds more IPM information - Two IPMSPs were developed in 2021. IPM Strategic Planning for Oregon's Ornamental Nursery Crops began in January with the advisory committee from USDA-ARS to identify the scope of the project and working group members (95% complete). - IPM Strategic Planning for NW Organic and Conventional Brassicas is currently in development (60% complete) and will be completed by August 2022. Interviews about pest management practices have been completed for 14 collaborators. A strategic planning meeting was held virtually in February 2022. - Plans to participate in an update of the IPM Strategic Planning for Sugar Beets is currently in development with faculty at the University of Idaho for 2022 (10% complete). Objective 2) Crop Pest Losses Impact Assessment (CPLIA): - This project facilitates the collection of real-world data on the yield and economic impacts of invertebrates, pathogens, weeds and other pests to key crops in the Pacific Northwest -- data which are vital yet lacking in most agricultural industries. The results are designed to help commodity researchers, Extension workers, crop consultants and others who have an interest in crop losses, and in development and deployment of integrated pest management. - We updated three CPLIAs for mint, onion, and cranberry, updated the CPLIA database and web-based survey tools, and developed these as reports and associated education programming. The peppermint and onion CPLIAs have been completed and published (100% complete). Hazelnut, cranberry, and cherry CPLIA surveys and analyses have been completed and manuscripts were submitted for publication (95% complete). Objective 3) IPM Outreach and Education for enhanced Engagement and Implementation: - We continue to produce and improve our written publications, IPM newsletter, website and listservs, communications, and other products with IPM stakeholders. - Provide leadership as chair of the Oregon State Agency IPM Committee and the OSU IPM Working Group. - Continue to host a yearly IPM research and extension summit meeting to connect staff and faculty working in IPM. - Create a modular suite of IPM training materials that address IPM needs expressed by our stakeholders, and make them available via the OIPMC website, at a rate of two modules or more per year, and at least one also translated into Spanish. - Oregon IPM Center (OIPMC) continues to publish an email newsletter each month focused on IPM research, news, jobs and events (ongoing, 100% complete to date). It is currently sent to nearly 300 subscribers, and forwarded to multiple relevant listservs, including university departments, state agencies and industries. The average open rate averages 43%, which is 23% above the average for email newsletters for agriculture-based newsletters. - The IPM Committee for Oregon's State Agencies met on July 12, 2021 and on February 2, 2022 (ongoing, 100% complete to date). - OIPMC staff continue to help with presentations, such as pesticide recertification seminars and advisory boards (Silvia Rondon and Chris Hedstrom currently serve on the advisory board for the Oregon Bee Project and the OSU IPM Advisory Board) (ongoing, 100% complete to date). - The OIPMC hosted our 4th annual IPM Research and Extension Summit on March 14, 2022 (ongoing, 100% complete to date). The meeting took place on campus and had 35 attendees (47 registrations). New to the Summit this year was an IPM walking tour that highlighted the IPM research and activities of OSU faculty and facilities staff. A recap and report of the event can be found at https://agsci.oregonstate.edu/oipmc/2022-ipm-summit. - Chris Hedstrom served as the lead organizer of the Pacific Northwest Insect Management Conference for 2021 and 2022, we had over 70 attendees and 85 registrations. Attendees represented researchers, industry, and state and federal regulatory agencies. - Two IPM Training modules on natural enemy identification are currently in development with Nik Wiman, OSU's Extension Orchard Specialist (50% complete). The modules are intended to educate fieldmen and crop consultants at industry field days. - OIPMC also has increased its presence in social media (ongoing, ca. 50% complete) including a LinkedIn and Twitter account. Our LinkedIn account activity has increased over 150% in the last 6 months. Objective 4) Climate and Weather-Based Decision Support: - This long-established program serves agricultural decision makers with timely forecasts of insect, plant disease, weed, and crop activities in a wide array of cropping systems, hosted at the website USPest.org. - We recently completed the development of a new "push" email notification system for 139 DD models, for 11 plant disease infection risk models, and for user-specified custom degree-day needs. These 150 (plus custom) models are linked to our updated weather station database, making USPest.org the most extensive and robust agricultural pest modeling decision support system in the U.S. to our knowledge. Thus far, 138 user accounts have been created. Two promotional and training videos have been released in support of these new "push" email notification products (95% complete). - New degree-day models which have been added to our modeling database under this project include pear psylla (Cacopsylla pyricola), and seedcorn maggot (Delia platura), as requested by stakeholders (25% complete). - An extension guide to running degree-day models for vegetable crops was published. - Degree-day model run tallies indicate continued popularity of these models at USPest.org, reaching over 65,000 in 2021. - We have begun to customize our spatialized pest modeling platform known as DDRP to make it more relevant for local IPM decision support. A manuscript and webinar on boxwood blight climate suitability risk was published in a special issue on invasive species in the journal Biology in June 2022 (60% complete). - Regularly updated (every 2-3 days) DDRP spatialized model forecasts of phenology and climate suitability for 16 invasive insect species are available at https://uspest.org/caps/. - We have updated and improved our extended weather forecast data products, that integrate the 7-day National Weather Service "NDFD" forecast with Fox Weather's customized, spatially and temporally downscaled CFSv2 (Climate Forecast System) 90 day forecast model (100% complete). Objective 5) Expand and improve the VegNet Monitoring Network. - The VegNet monitoring program serves growers, fieldmen, and consultants working in vegetable crops including broccoli, cauliflower, sweet corn, and snap beans through much of the Western Oregon (ongoing, 100% complete). - Monitoring of 10 vegetable crop pests was conducted during summer 2021, and email reports were sent to the subscriber list (100%). - Partnering on a cross-commodity a data dashboard (section 8, collaborations), expected launch in June 2022. This will provide a geographic view of trap counts, with the ability to filter by crop or region. Currently monitored crops include grass seed, sweet corn, brassica vegetables, and brassica seed (70% complete).
