Target Audience:The WVU Extension Implmentation Program targets commercial fruit orchardists, small farm producers, vegetable growers, Master Gardeners, county agents, producers, and home owners/backyard gardeners. During the reporting period we have reached over 4,500 target audience individuals which included participants from the above groups. The target audience were mostly from West Virginia but included few from the neighboring states of Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Efforts included on-site visits at grower locations, classroom education, demonstrations, displays, field-days, workshops, distance education, and training, along with dissemination of information through various extension publications. Changes/Problems:

What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Diagnostic training was provided to county agents, master gardeners and other clientele for right diagnosis of plant problems to promote integrated management options with reduced amount of chemicals. The project provided training opportunities for commercial orchardists, small farmers, homeowners, community gardeners, and members of the landscaping industry though twilight meetings, demonsrations, pesticide video, pest ID displays, brochures etc. Training was provided for Master Gardeners during the MG State Conference and during county level meetings. As part of the progress report for the period, we have continued with Extension Master Gardener Program education by offering online training. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results were disseminated through various outreach events including: West Virginia Pesticide Recertification Workshops, West Virginia County Agents Association Training Workshop, Ag-Beats, Crop Pest and Production Updates, West Virginia Urban Agriculture Conference, West Virginia Master Gardener Annual Conference, West Virginia Small Farm Conference, Fruit Growers Twilight meetings, Field Days and Demonstrations, State Fair etc. The project provided training opportunities for commercial orchardists, small farmers, homeowners, community gardeners, and members of the landscaping industry though twilight meetings, demonsrations, pesticide video, pest ID displays, brochures etc. Various other extension publications were also generated to disseminate our results. Other dissemination activities included: Targeted emails to interested parties and county extension agents Publications posted on the WVU Extension web page or other agency websites. IPM Display Booths were set up at two commercial orchards' Farm Markets. The target audience for these educational units were consumers with our goal increase their awareness about IPM in general and to let them understand its importance, benefits to human health and the environment. Brochures with details were also provided. The orchardists indicated that the display booths and stations attaracted significant traffic. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Once we hire an IPM Associate, ommercial orchards will be monitored for insect pests, and diseases. Weather stations will be used to help make IPM decisions. Demonstration gardens/landscapes will be maintained at the WV State Fair Grounds in Greenbrier County. Monitor the success of disease resistant tomatoes released through our program and also provide other IPM support for disease management as outlined in our activities for past three years. Monitor for insect pests in field/row crop pests in Jackson, Randolph and Monongalia Counties, WV. Biofix dates and/or weekly trap captures for all insect pests will be emailed to growers and extension agents. Continue to publish the "IPM Chronicle", "ANR Research Notes", "Weed of the Week" etc. IPM Display booths will be set up at the West Virginia State Fair, and various other events. We will promote the IPM brochure through various avenues to the end users. Publish results related to field experiments to manage certain invasive weedy species in pastures. Continue to provide various diagnostic services as outlined in the proposal. Continue to provide general training meetings, pesticide safety workshops throughout the state to provide recertification for various categories of pesticide applicators.

What was accomplished under these goals?
Objective 1. IPM Implementation and Evaluation in Specialty Crops • IPM practices implemented by the growers included application of pesticides based on threshold levels, use of semio-chemicals and reduced-risk pesticides, partial application in orchards, along with application under proper environmental conditions. We monitored codling moths, Oriental fruit moths, tufted apple bud moths, and redbanded leafrollers throughout the growing season at USDA-ARS Appalachian Fruit Research Station, Orr farm, and Kitchen Farm. We recommended insecticide applications when captures in pheromone traps exceed the threshold of 5 codling moths/trap/week. • We created biofix dates and weekly trap captures for the mentioned pest. Results were sent through email in our biweekly newsletter, Orchard Updates. We sent twelve updates to seventeen subscribed growers during the grower season. On average, our Orchard Updates emails had 56 percent open rate. Our information could improve the efficacy of insecticides, which reduce unmarketable fruits and increase production. IPM Plans were written by the IPM Coordinator and the Extension Entomologist through the NRCS EQIP program. • We developed a display poster, an IPM brochure, and a yard sign to be placed in the farm markets of participating commercial orchards. These educational materials are expected to increase the awareness of IPM among consumers. • As weather data directly uploaded in the 'Network for Environment and Weather Applications (NEWA)' site to produce disease forecast, pandemic did not affect this activity. Tree fruit twilight meetings were conducted virtually to deliver educational materials on disease management. • We also conducted a demonstration on managing 'bitter pit' disease on 'Honeycrisp' apple at Kearneysville tree fruit research and education center with different combinations of calcium and manganese in 2021 that produced good results. Growers may adopt this technology to reduce incidence and severity of bitter pit in 'Honeycrisp' apple. This demonstration was repeated in 2022 in two locations as on-farm trials. Cucurbit downy mildew forecast, and disease risk was sent to county agents' listserv as 'AgAlerts' to share with vegetable growers so that they could take measures on time. We engaged master gardeners from 3 counties to report suspected incidence of downy mildew on cucurbit crop, which helped use immensely in generating the forecast. In addition, late blight of tomato and potato was tracked from https://usablight.org/map/ to determine the need for preventative measures in the state. These programs were continued in 2022. We continued distributing seed packets of blight tolerant tomato varieties for 2022 growing season. Demonstration of tomato soil-borne disease management of strawberry using biofumigation, biological control agent and anaerobic soil disinfestation is being continued at the WVU organic farm. Objective 2. IPM Implementation and Evaluation in Other Specialty Crops • We also monitored insects that migrate each year from the south that have the potential to damage vegetable, field crops and vegetative cover on pipelines. Our program determines insect population dynamics to improve pest control on other WV agricultural crops. For example, black cutworm cannot overwinter in the state. Instead, it migrates from the south in spring. We use pheromone traps to determine the first migratory flight, which serves as the "biofix" or designated starting point. From the biofix or intensive capture, an average of 300 degree-days (based on 50°F) is required for the black cutworm to develop from the egg to fourth instar larval stage. Black cutworm larvae can cut corn from the fourth-instar stage until pupation; consequently, the injurious cutting stage may last 2½ to 3 weeks, depending on temperature. Corn is vulnerable to cutting from emergence through the five-leaf growth stage. • We monitored black cutworm, fall armyworm, and Western bean cutworm. Information was shared on WVU social media platforms. Although our target audience is vegetable growers, we have received positive feedback from pipeline cover and forage managers. • For vegetable disease management we released two varieties of tomato (Mountaineer Pride and Mountaineer Delight) with increased resistance capability towards Septoria Leaf Spot as well as Late Blight and Wilt diseases (Verticillium and Fusarium wilt). We distributed 2,500 seed packets during the current cycle to encourage growers to implement these host-resistance traits thereby reducing the use of fungicides. Spread of vegetable diseases, specifically cucurbit downy mildew (CDM) and late blight of tomato and potato was also tracked through CDM-IPMPIPE and USAblight.org, respectively. AgAlerts were provided to growers to take preventative measures when it was necessary. • In weed management research, it was determined that Japanese stiltgrass, an invasive weed in pastures and woodlots emerged as GDD50F averaged 78 whereas, joint-head Arthraxon, anonther non-native invasive germinated when mean GDD50F reached 102 to 129. Joint-head grass appeared to have a longer window (4 to 8 weeks) of germination period compared to that of Japanese stilt-grass (3 to 4 weeks). We also determined that in a landscape, in-season control of the invasive weed mugwort after bloom could be obtained by wiping a 25% solution on ~10 leaves (on each shoot); 4% solution applied to mugwort before bloom provided adequate control using a hand-held weed wiper. • We created an IPM trifold brochure containing graphics and condensed information that could be passed on to the enduser during Extension events and a mobile IPM Booth that could be set up during such events. During the past three years, the IPM Team participated the Small Farm Conference and State Fair. IPM booths with brochures were set up at these events. We compiled electronic mailing lists for greenhouse and high tunnel producers, tree fruit growers, vegetable producers, small farm producers, and Master Gardeners to provide timely information related to IPM. • Evaluations of various programming efforts indicated that the ability/understanding of participants improved in all areas including: IPM practices, identification of pests, scouting/monitoring, non-chemical pest management measures, selection of chemical sprays, pollinator safety, understanding of pesticide labels, matching signal-words with toxicity ratings, safe pesticide storage, handling and disposal of pesticide spills, balancing plant nutrition, and identifying mineral deficiencies.

What was accomplished under these goals?
Objective 1. IPM Implementation and Evaluation in Specialty Crops Two hundred acres in two commercial orchards (Orr's and Kitchen's orhcards) were monitored for pests, by the IPM Associate hired by WVU through the EIP project, on a weekly basis and recommendations were provided to the growers to apply pesticides based on threshold levels. IPM practices implemented by the growers included application of pesticides based on threshold levels, use of semio-chemicals and reduced-risk pesticides, partial application in orchards, along with application under proper environmental conditions. We monitored codling moths, Oriental fruit moths, tufted apple bud moths, and redbanded leafrollers throughout the growing season at USDA-ARS Appalachian Fruit Research Station, Orr farm, and Kitchen Farm. We recommended insecticide applications when captures in pheromone traps exceed the threshold of 5 codling moths/trap/week. At Orr's Orchards an average of six applications are typically used to manage codling moths per season. Based on our monitoring efforts and the average cost of $90 of insecticide application per acre, our recommendations could have saved $28,764 in 2022. Rimon insecticide is commonly used to manage codling moth and its application rate is about 0.07 gallons of Rimon per acre. Using Rimon rate as a baseline for pesticides, we stopped the application of 47 gallons of insecticides in Orr Farm to manage codling moth during past two growing seasons. At Kitchen's Orchards, our recommendations could have saved about $15,390 in 2022. If the farm manager followed our recommendations, we estimate a reduction in 23 gallons of insecticides. We created biofix dates and weekly trap captures for the mentioned pest. Results were sent through email in our bi-weekly newsletter, Orchard Updates. We sent twelve updates to seventeen subscribed growers during the grower season. On average, our Orchard Updates emails had 56 percent open rate. Our information could improve the efficacy of insecticides, which reduce unmarketable fruits and increase production.

Progress 09/01/21 to 08/31/22
Outputs
Target Audience:The WVU Extension Implmentation Program targets commercial fruit orchardists, small farm producers, vegetable growers, Master Gardeners, county agents, producers, and home owners/backyard gardeners. During the reporting period we have reached over 5,000 target audience individuals which included participants from the above groups. The target audience were mostly from West Virginia but included few from the neighboring states of Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Efforts included on-site visits at grower locations, classroom education, demonstrations, displays, field-days, workshops, distance education, and training, along with dissemination of information through various extension publications. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Pesticide videos benefited 201 pesticide applicators with 5 re-certification credits in 13 counties and online platform. Pre/posttest results indicated that about 71% of the pesticide applicators increased knowledge about IPM and pesticide safety. A weed display was set up at the West Virginia State Fair, various MG fairs, NRCS and County Agent training programs, and the Small Farm Conference. Diagnostic training was provided to county agents, master gardeners and other clientele for right diagnosis of plant problems to promote integrated management options with reduced amount of chemicals. The project provided training opportunities for commercial orchardists, small farmers, homeowners, community gardeners, and members of the landscaping industry though twilight meetings, demonsrations, pesticide video, pest ID displays, brochures etc. Training was provided for Master Gardeners during the MG State Conference and during county level meetings. A weed display was set up at the West Virginia State Fair, various MG fairs, NRCS and County Agent training programs, and the Small Farm Conference. An IPM booth was also set up at state level conferences where ANR participated. Diagnostic training was provided to county agents, master gardeners and other clientele for right diagnosis of plant problems to promote integrated management options with reduced amount of chemicals. As part of the progress report for the period, we have continued with Extension Master Gardener Program education by offering online training. We offered18 three-hour sessions per cycle with a total of 214 educational hours. Currently, we are nearing the end of a spring Extension Master Gardener Training cycle that has 18 three-hour sessions or 54 educational hours. In each cycle, there were six sessions where IPM was a major part of the curriculum. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results were disseminated through various outreach events including: West Virginia Pesticide Recertification Workshops, West Virginia County Agents Association Training Workshop, Ag-Beats, Crop Pest and Production Updates, West Virginia Urban Agriculture Conference, West Virginia Master Gardener Annual Conference, West Virginia Small Farm Conference, Fruit Growers Twilight meetings, Field Days and Demonstrations, State Fair etc. The project provided training opportunities for commercial orchardists, small farmers, homeowners, community gardeners, and members of the landscaping industry though twilight meetings, demonsrations, pesticide video, pest ID displays, brochures etc. Various other extension publications were also generated to disseminate our results. Other dissemination activities included: Targeted emails to interested parties and county extension agents Publications posted on the WVU Extension web page or other agency websites. IPM Display Booths were set up at two commercial orchards' Farm Markets. The target audience for these educational unitswere consumers with our goal increase their awareness about IPM in general and to let them understand its importance, benefits to human health and the environment. Brochures with details were also provided. The orchardists indicated that the display booths and stations attaracted significant traffic. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Tree fruit under the plan will be monitored for insect pests, and diseases. Weather stations will be used to help make IPM decisions. Demonstration gardens/landscapes will be maintained at the WV State Fair Grounds in Greenbrier County. Monitor the success of disease resistant tomatoes released through our program and also provide other IPM support for disease management as outlined in our activities for past three years. Monitor for insect pests in field/row crop pests in Jackson, Randolph and Monongalia Counties, WV. Biofix dates and/or weekly trap captures for all insect pests will be emailed to growers and extension agents. Continue to publish the "IPM Chronicle", "ANR Research Notes", "Weed of the Week" etc. IPM Display booths will be set up at the West Virginia State Fair, and various other events. We will promote the IPM brochure through various avenues to the end users. Publish results related to field experiments to manage certain invasive weedy species in pastures. Continue to provide various diagnostic services as outlined in the proposal. Continue to provide general training meetings, pesticide safety workshops throughout the state to provide recertification for various categories of pesticide applicators.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
In commercial orchrads, biofix dates were calculated in Berkeley and Hampshire counties where most of apple production is stablished in WV.We monitored and reported population of codling moth, oriental fruit moth, tufted apple budmoth, leaf rollers on two farms that agreed to use IPM practices to reduced pesticide applications. Based on monitoring data and biofix dates, we made recommendations to control insect pests. Biofix dates and weekly trap captures for codling moth, oriental fruit moth, tufted apple budmoth and redbanded leafroller. We recommended reduced risk pesticide only when economic thresholds were reached. We send information to growers biweekly about insect biology and control recommendations based on insect biofix. This information helps growers to decide the best time for insecticide application to increase efficacy of insecticides. During meetings, we had comments from growers such as: I was planning to apply insecticides tomorrow, after hearing that most of the codling moth population is in the larvae stage inside apples, your information saves time and money (grower from Shanholtz farm, Romney, WV). I like to see your insect traps numbers. It helps me to make better decisions. Sometimes I make more applications based on insect traps and other times I reduce the number of applications (Orr farm, Martinsburg, WV). I like to receive your insect trap information because I can compare them to my private consultant information. Between the two of them, I feel I am making a better decision (Kitchen farm, Falling Waters, WV). Monitoring for insect pest in sweetcorn was conducted in Jackson and Monongalia Counties. Insect pest included corn earworm, fall armyworm, and true armyworm. Because of this monitoring program, we detected a fall armyworm outbreak and created an Ag Alert to help control fall armyworm in forage grasses, pipeline vegetation cover, and turf.We detected a fall armyworm outbreak and created an Ag Alert to help control fall armyworm in forage grasses, pipeline vegetation cover, and turf. This helped to reduce damage on several acres of forage. A workshop targeted pesticide applicators of the 4A (Ornamental & Turf Outdoors) and 11 (Demonstration and Research) categories. There were 34 participants. Based on a follow up survey, participants increased their knowledge on Sprayer calibration (85%), use of hand-held weed wiper (80%), disease management (90%), pollinators (75%) and identification of plant problems (80%). Also, 85% of the participants will change and/or start using at least one of the IPM recommendations in this workshop. IPM associate scouted orchards on a regular basis to bring updated disease situation and necessary samples to the diagnostic lab for identification of suspected diseases. Messages on disease risk and need for spray were sent to clientele as SMS on their cell phones in a timely manner. Decision support system for tree fruit and vegetable growers of the state: Two more weather stations were added to Network of Environmental and Weather Applications (NEWA) IPM tool to provide disease forecasting to tree fruit growers in the state. By using these and previously installed weather stations we produced disease prediction for Scab and fire blight of apple during 2022 spring for various orchards in the major fruit growing counties of the state. We also produced and sent advisories to growers as AgAlert for taking preventative measures. Tree fruit twilight meetings were conducted virtually to deliver educational materials on disease management. IPM associate scouted orchards on a regular basis to bring updated disease situation and necessary samples to the diagnostic lab for identification of suspected diseases. Messages on disease risk and need for spray were sent to clientele as SMS on their cell phones in a timely manner as well. We also conducted a demonstration on managing 'bitter pit' disease on 'Honeycrisp' apple at Kearneysville tree fruit research and education center with different combinations of calcium and manganese in 2021 that produced good results. Growers may adopt this technology to reduce incidence and severity of bitter pit in 'Honeycrisp' apple. This demonstration is being repeated in 2022 in two locations as on-farm trials. We planned a field day on June 22, 2022 to show the results to growers. Cucurbit downy mildew forecast, and disease risk was sent to county agents' listserv as 'AgAlerts' to share with vegetable growers so that they could take measures on time. We engaged master gardeners from 3 counties to report suspected incidence of downy mildew on cucurbit crop, which helped use immensely in generating the forecast. In addition, late blight of tomato and potato was tracked from https://usablight.org/map/ to determine the need for preventative measures in the state. These programs are being continued in 2022. We continued distributing seed packets of blight tolerant tomato varieties for 2022 growing season. Demonstration of tomato soilborne disease management of strawberry using biofumigation, biological control agent and anaerobic soil disinfestation is being continued at the WVU organic farm. In weed management research, it was determined that Japanese stiltgrass, an invasive weed in pastures and woodlots emerged as GDD50F averaged 78 whereas, joint-head Arthraxon, anonther non-native invasive germinated when mean GDD50F reached 102 to 129. Joint-head grass appeared to have a longer window (4 to 8 weeks) of germination period compared to that of Japanese stilt-grass (3 to 4 weeks). We alsodetermined that in a landscape, in-season control of the invasive weed mugwort after bloom could be obtained by wiping a 25% solution on ~10 leaves (on each shoot); 4% solution applied to mugwort beforebloom provided adequate control using a hand-held weed wiper.
