Goals / Objectives
Our overarchinggoal is to disseminate integrated pest management (IPM) knowledge and foster adoption of IPM practices by building upon established, successful extension projects and developing new and improved modalities for outreach and education, working across disciplines and geographic regions to achieve educational synergies and reduce duplication of effort while increasing knowledge and practice of IPM among agricultural and urban pest management practitioners.
Project Methods
The Washington State Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Extension Implementation Program (EIP) seeks to assure the implementation of IPM on the part of its target audiencesby building upon established, successful extension projects and developing new and improved modalities for outreach and education, working across disciplines and geographic regions to achieve educational synergies and reduce duplication of effort while increasing knowledge and practice of IPM among agricultural and urban pest management practitioners. Key specific activities for each emphasis area follow.Administrative Coordination includes continuing periodic meetings between members of the IPM team and coordination of annual reports and plans of work. New initiatives include 1)enhanced emphasis on program evaluation and quantifiable outcomes via surveys developed and deployed in cooperation with Washington State University's Social and Economic Sciences Research Center and 2) development of a new WSU IPM website.Agronomic Crops methods include continuation of the successful Wheat Academy, Crop Diagnostic Clinic, and Alfalfa Seed School projects at which presentations are made and knowledge/practice assessments taken. New initiatives include development of an Herbicide Mechanism of Action decision support tool and refinement of pest managementand pollinator protection recommendations.Animal Agricultre methods include continuation of regular meetings with the Pacific Coast Shellfish Grower Association and refinement of recommendations for management of burrowing shrimp and Japanese eelgrass. New initiatives include a Shellfish Crop Pest Losses Survey and an update of the Pest Management Strategic Plan for bivalves.Community IPM education will continue management and operation of the Hortsense website for homeowners and Master Gardeners. New initiatives include addition of a beneficial insect and pollinator category with 35 fact sheets and 120 images, as well as a section on invasive pests with 10 fact sheets and 25 images.Specialty Crop projects include outreach in tree fruits, cranberry, grapes, hops, and vegetable row crops:expansion of mating disruption in codling moth (pest of apple) to include sterile insect releaseencouragement among cherry growers to adopt sampling techniques for spotted wing drosophila via winter meetings and site visitstracking of brown marmorated stinkbug and development of recommendations as this invasive pest moves from urban to agricultural areas of the statecontinuation ofCranberry Vineand Viticulture and Enology Extension Newsnewslettersfield days for cranberry, grape, potato, onion, carrot growersmaintenance and expansion of tree fruit, cranberry, hop,and grape websitesparticipation in and presentations at grower group meetings in all listed specialty cropsgrape grower education about membracid vectors ofGrapevine red blotch-associated virusand fungicide resistance developmentdeployment of recommendations for weed control, storage rot mitigation, and management of onion thrips andIris yellow spot virusin onion via formal presentations,farm visits, and weekly emails during the growing seasonaddressing cavity spot and root-knot nematode in carrots via germplasm evaluation and presentations at grower meetingseducation on grafting as a means of disease prevention, including development of a vegetable grafting manual, articles in popular agricultural press, and Powerpoint presentatoinsrevision of PMSPs for potatoes and bivalvesPollinator Health will emphasize resistance management in varroa mite, the leading best of honey bee and a transmitter of viruses leading to Colony Collapse Disorder. Site vists and formal presentations will be used to train beekepers in the use of sampling technology andacaracide rotation. Managed pollinator plans will be developed and published for at least 2 Washington State crops.Pesticide Applicator pre-certification and recertification educational programs will continue. One new training video will be developed each year. The successful IPM Certification program for landscape and turf provessionals will add curriculum for applicators to become ecoPro certified.

Outputs
Target Audience:Audiences reached during this period included: hop growers, researchers, merchants, and brewers interested in mite management and miticide resistance, management of downy and powdery mildews in a whole-farm IPM context, efficacies of newer miticides and insecticides, and interactions between production activities (including irrigation and nutrient inputs)and pest management mint growers and end users seeking ways to monitor for mint root borer and integrate its treatment into their IPM program citizen scientists with an interest in identifying, monitoring, and protecting bumble bees growers of alfalfa produced for seed interested in balancing protection of native and managed pollinators with pest management regulatory agencies seeking understanding of native and managed pollinators and ways of protecting them growers of wheat and other small grains interested in traditional and novel weed control methodologies including weed seed control and use of tillage in an integrated weed management program grape growers and viticulture students seeking training on field scouting, identification of diseases, fungicide resistance management, and designing sustainable spray programs tree fruit (including pear, cherry, apple) growers seeking to improve control of pear psylla, codling moth, and brown marmorated stink bugs in their orchards by incorporating novel (including non-chemical) IPM tactics beekeepers concerned about Colony Collapse Disorder willing to monitor for and control varroa mites shellfish producers seeking ways to control burrowing shrimp, decrease sediment turbidity, and manage Japanese eelgrass in an integrated program cranberry growers concerned about the rise of tipworm populations and increasing incidence of storage rots growers of high-value vegetable row crops interested in incorporating grafting as a means of increasing pest resistance properties, as well as educators at all levels wishing to learn grafting techniques and teach them to others growers of onions, potatoes, and carrots seeking best management practices for newer pests and diseases in their crops homeowners and Master Gardeners wishing to expand their knowledge of IPM and learn about conservation and identification of beneficial arthropods professional pesticide applicators seeking current knowledge and certification in sustainable management of lawn, turf, and other landscape pestsin urban environments K-12 students taking part in hands-on workshops undergraduate and graduate university students working with our team members to provide outreach education to the above audiences Changes/Problems:The winter of 2018-2019 was particularly hard in the Pacific Northwest, with late and prolonged snowfall lasting well into March. This provided logistical challenges for some of our team's winter workshops, but in every instance the challenges were met and overcome, whether by rescheduling, reaching out to attendees using alternate approaches, or a combination of both. Formal emailed and mailed surveys of IPM knowledge and activity were originally planned in alfalfa seed, onion, potato,tree fruit and hop in cooperation with the WSU Social and Economic Sciences Research Center (SESRC). Surveys took place on schedule in alfalfa seed, onion, and potato. Due to a combination of changes in program focus (from spotted wing drosophila emphasis to codling moth and stink bug emphasis) and lack of well-maintained mailing lists on the part of tree fruit industry organizations, the formal tree fruit survey was not conducted. Instead, measures of knowledge and activity changes among tree fruit growers with respect to IPM are being taken and will continue to be taken at conferences, workshops, and field days. Given the variety of pests and variety of tree fruits addressed by our outreach, this approach will likely prove more insightful than attempting a "one-size-fits-all" survey of all tree fruit growers. Regarding hops, we determined in FY17 that it was more cost effective and would reduce duplication of effort if we collaborated on a survey already funded and in place via Oregon State University and USDA-ARS to determine knowledge and activity changes among hop growers with respect to IPM across the Pacific Northwest. Dollars originally slated for the hop and tree fruit surveys have been redirected into costs associated with these alternate surveys. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Graduate and undergraduate students receiving mentorship from our EIPM Team as they conducted IPM Extension outreach during this reporting period included (name, degree program, mentor): Jonathan O'Hearn, PhD, Walsh Adrian Marshal, PhD, Beers Adekunle Adasanya, PhD, Walsh Jacob Fischer, MS, Lyon Alexa McDaniel, PhD, Moyer Pinki Devi, PhD, Miles Abagail Attavar, PhD, Miles James Hepler, PhD, Beers Joshua Milnes, MS, Beers Moyer's "Viticulture Intern Boot Camp" (May 30, 2019) specifically targeted the next generation of grape growers, training them in IPM principles including pest and disease identification and designing of IPM programs. Miles' "train the trainer" and K-12 curricula described in the Other Products section of this report provided training and mentorship for youth and adults. Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and technical staff attended professional conferences and workshops in their field including those of the Entomological Society of America, American Phytopathological Society, and Weed Science Society of America. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?In addition to the publications, conference presentations, and other outreach materials cited in the Products and Other Products sections: Walsh hosted members and guests of the national Hop Research Council at WSU Prosser Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center (IAREC) July 24-25, 2018 for presentations and a tour of the research hop yards, greenhouses, drying faclities, laboratory, brewing facilities and Clean Plant Center Northwest. Walsh held an alfalfa seed field day in June 2018 and will hold another June 18, 2019, in Touchet. Patten conducted a Cranberry Field Day in Long Beach, WA, at the Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Facility on August 1. Lyon's student (Fischer) has developed presentations on his work in controlling rush skeletonweed during fallow and is in the process of presenting them to a variety of target audiences interested in weed control in small grains. Beers WA-SIR and BMSBprograms received print and broadcast media coverage. Waters hosts and/or participates in several onion, potato, and carrot field days annually. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Walsh will work with alfalfa seed growers across the west to enhance pollinator protection in an IPM context. Lyon will focus on herbicide resistance and harvest weed seed control. Foss will contractwith a programmer to create a portal for Invasive Species on the Hortsense website. Beers will expand her sterile insect reslease (WA-SIR) program and assess results in codling moth management as well as maintaining her BMSB location website. Moyer will continue her work in fungicide resistance management on multiple fronts including face-to-face conferences and field days, social media, and printed and electronic resources. O'Neal will produce a revision of IPM field guides for wine grapes and hops. Waters will focus on integrating disease (viral, bacterial, fungal) management with arthropod management, advancing varieties with improved pest resistance, and educating onion, potato, and carrot growers on pest mamagement implications of their fertility programs. Miles will expand her work in vegetable grafting as a means for disease management, including additional train-the-trainer programs. Hopkins will conclude his varroa mite sampling and awareness training and assess beekeeper adoption of the process. Foss will produce two training videos on sustainable landscape practices and four training modules for ecoPRO Sustainable Landscape Professional certification.

Progress 09/01/17 to 08/31/18

Outputs
Target Audience:Audiences reached during this reporting period include: wine grape growers who experience powdery and downy mildews in their crop and may use fungicides to manage them graduate students, Master Gardeners, and vegetable extension personnel interested in teaching grafting techniques as a means for improving pest resistance, stress tolerance, and marketing characteristics in eggplant, melons, and other crops carrot, onion, potato, and other vegetable growers in Washington, Oregon, Arizona, and Michigan concerned with arthropod and disease pest management the US Environmental Protection Agency regarding pollinator protection in the context of integrated pest management in alfalfa grown for seed Pacific Northwest dryland wehat growers who experience problems with weedy mustard species in their crop hop growers, researchers, merchants, and brewers interested in hop breeding for pest resistance, managing miticide resistance, efficacies of newer miticides and insecticides, and interactions between plant nutrition and integrated pest management (IPM) shellfish growers concerned about controlling burrowing shrimpand regulatory agencies (including the Army Corps of Engineers and Washington Department of Ecology) concernedabout environmental impacts of pesticides used to control this pest of commercial oyster and clam beds urban pesticide applicators in western Washington who apply pesticides in parks and public spaces and need to understand the spread of Ramorum blight (AKA Sudden Oak Death) in the region homeowners who may encounter brown marmorated stink bug, a potentially serious pest of agricultural crops Changes/Problems:We had intended to develop and deploy IPM surveys in six crops in Year 1, but have only deployed two at this writing (alfalfa seed and wine grape). A third (sweet cherry) has been developed, but obtaining an up-to-date, comprehensive mailing list for growers has proven challenging; that task is underway and the survey will be deployed as soon as we obtain and validate the list. Surveys for onion and potato growers are under development. A planned survey for hops was removed from our plan of work due to a similar survey being taken by USDA-ARS the previous spring. We have obtained those questions and results and will use this as our baseline survey, planning a followup in two years. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Wheat growers had the opportunity for training and professional development via Lyons' Wheat Academy seminar series in Pullman and talks on herbicide resistance in Connell and Waterville as well as a field tour scheduled for June 13, 2018. Growers of pulse crops (dry peas, lentils, and chickpeas) learned about weed control at meetings in Pasco and Walla Walla and have access to a Herbicide Mechanism of Action tool on the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council website. Graduate students presented posters, made presentations, and had articles published in peer-reviewed journals as well as attending and learning about their individual disciplines at professional meetings such as the Entomological Society of America and American Phytopathology Society. Master Gardeners and staff at the Northwest Research and Extension Center (NWREC) received hands-on training in vegetable grafting including learning how to teach the pest management strategy to others. Shellfish and cranberry growers had the opportunity to learn about the latest IPM recommendations, including aquatic weed management. Growers, Master Gardeners, and community college studentslearned about IPM in potatoes, carrots, and onionsin a variety of forums. A December summit in Napa, CA, presented the opportunity for Extension experts, growers, consultants, chemical companies and other wine industry stakeholders to exchange ideas and learn about fungicide resistance management in wine grapes. Professional development and training opportunities were provided to beekeepers on how to utilize a field shaker device to enhance their protection of honeybee pollinators. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Wheat information via talks in Pullman, Connell, and Waterville, via a planned field day in June, via the WSU Small Grains website (smallgrains.wsu.edu) and via publication PNW703. Pulse crop information via talks in Pasco (PNW Vegetable Association annual meeting) and Walla Walla (Blue Mountain Seeds annual meeting) and via the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council website (usapulses.org). Articles have been published in newsletters, popular press, Extension bulletins, fact sheets, and peer-reviewed journals. Talks were given to hop growers at Washington State Hop Commission and Hop Industry Council meetings in fall and early winter of 2017 and at the American Hop Convention in January 2018; content has been published on the Hop Growers of America website (usahops.org). A train-the-trainer curriculum was presented to Master Gardeners and NWREC. Shellfish information was disseminated via workshops, meetings, field days, presentations at the National Shellfish Association Conference, and scientific journals. Cranberry results were disseminated via workshops, newsletter articles, Extension publications, and journal articles. Strides in IPM awareness and adoption, balanced with protection of crucial pollinators, was discussed in face-to-face meetings with the US Environmental Protection Agency's Bereau of Economic Analysis Division in February 2018, which was covered in the Capital Press newspaper.Numerous workshops and conference presentations were made to the potato, onion, and other vegetable industries. One-on-one farm visits were made to many target audience members. Guest presentations in university and community college courses were made. Invited presentations were made to grower groups at their board meetings and other gatherings. Field days were conducted in vegetable row crops. Meetings (including the Washington Winegrowers annual meeting in February), newsletter articles, fieldd days, and classroom presentations were among the means for disseminating wine grape IPM information, particularly regarding management of fungicide resistance. This outreach received popular press attention in several articles in Good Fruit Grower magazine. Beekeeper outreach took place through site visits to four large-scale commercial beekeepers and through presentations at beekeeping associations.All audiences had the ability to subscribe to the first quarterly edition of the IPM Update newsletter on the team's website (ipm.wsu.edu) or to read it on the website as a non-subsriber. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?The sweet cherry growers survey developed in this period will be deployed in the next period. Surveys for potato and onion growers will be developed. The video explaining use of the Herbicide Mechanism of Action Tool for pulse crop growers will be posted on the USA Dry Pea and Lentil Council website to reach additional users. The online Vegetable Grafting Manual will be completed and its availability will be publicized on WSU websites including vegetables.wsu.edu and the national vegetable grafting website vegetablegrafting.org. The varroa mite program will be expanded to additional commercial operations and also to hobby beekeepers. All team members will continue their program of field days, popular and scientific article development, publishing of Extension bulletins, workshops, classroom presentations, and presentations at conferences and commodity meetings.The team will continue to prepare and disseminate quarterly activity updates on the ipm.wsu.edu website and to subscribers who have elected to receive these updates.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Information on integrated weed management, fallow weed management, identifying and managing insect pests, effect of soil pH on wheat diseases, herbicide resistance management, and diseases/disease disorders were communicated to wheat and small grain growers. Information on weed control and managing herbicide resistance was communicated to growers of pulse crops (dry peas, lentils, chickpeas). Entomologists nationally and internationally learned about work done with the Washington State Department of Transportation to assess vehicular traffic impacts on native pollinators and subsequent alfalfa seed yields in the Walla Walla Valley. Regulatory agencies and growers of alfalfa seed learned about balancing pollinator protection with pest management. An online Vegetable Grafting Manual was developed and nearly completed (all but one chapter). Shellfish IPM concepts were shared with Washington State lawmakers as well as withshellfish growers regionally and nationwide. Cranberry growers received information about emerging IPM recommendations. Potato, onion, corn,and carrot growers received IPM instruction for their crops, specifically in management of Lygus and other arthropods (potato), in identification ofdiseases and insects (carrot), and in managing thrips and Iris yellow spot virus (onions). Managing fungicide resistance in wine grapes, particularly with respect to those fungicides used to manage powdery mildew, was a topic of discussion and educational outreach in a variety of forums. Commercial beekeepers were trained in devices and methods to check their hives for infestations of varroa mites, a major pest of pollinating honeybees.General updates on activities of Washington's Extension IPM Team were made available via quarterly e-newsletters. A new WSU IPM website was created and launched.
