Overview of extending pest control information Examine products on UCIPM website
Pest Management Guidelines (PMG)Year Round Programs (YRP)

The Early YearsPest Control Circulars
Time period – 1920’s to 1960’sCovered the pests in a crop or a pest on many cropsUSDA – good pest biology and integrated management information
Still an excellent source of basic biology and pest damage
www.ipm.ucdavis.edu
University of CaliforniaThe Agricultural Experiment Station took the lead in research and developing bulletins. Specialists were closely involved but less direct input from County facultyOne series, Pest Control Circular were designed to provide pesticide management informationRevisions needed as new pesticide classes and regulations emerged in 1960’sNeeded a way incorporate biology, crop systems management, and management guidelines (cultural, biological and chemical)

Delivering Timely Information
1970’s-1990’sIPM Manuals
Dedicated writers draftExperts reviewDetailed, biology, identification, photos
Largely information that doesn’t change that often11 Manuals (plus Grapes)
www.ipm.ucdavis.edu
Pest Management Guidelines (PMGs)Companion to IPM ManualLight on biology, heavy on controlEasy to revise (3 yr cycle)Based on expert reviewUp-to-date results44 crops, by subscription,
including updates
Delivering TimelyInformation

Really, DeliveringInformation in a Timely Fashion
Advent of Internet -1995 and beyondPMGs still a critical productDelivery by PDF rather than mail subscription, FreeDevelopment of e-PMG

Really, DeliveringInformation in a Timely Fashion
Development of e-PMGsSame information, more contentHyperlinked information allows for relationships between topicsAllows for richer content, user decides if they want to “drill and mine” for more infoJust in time as new demands on decision-making emerged
www.ipm.ucdavis.edu
New InformationE-PMGs had limited biology sample and threshold infoKey item was UC pesticide guidelines
Replicated trials (mostly)Broad consensus of efficacy (mostly)Fit in IPM program
• Safety, selectivity, resistance managementAir and Water Quality issues are driving IPMA need for more sampling, record keeping, integration

Year Round ProgramsIt helps organize all the informationMore than simple navigational toolOrganizes information in new way
Seasonal rather by pestIntegrates pests of interest during
one period in one placeAllows information to gathered for particular crop stageAllows new learning experiences because of rich content and external linksDeveloped in cooperation with USDA-NRCS

WhatWhat’’s New?s New?IPM resources are more grower friendlyYear-round IPM
Seasonal approach to what needs to be done and whenIntegrated view of managing all the major pests of a crop
WaterTox to help growers meet Clean Water Act standardsMore reliable pest management for California growers
New productsPesticide resistanceBetter treatment guidelinesMore reliance on natural controls
www.ipm.ucdavis.edu
Why?Why?Environmental issues
NRCS, EQIP and IPMWater and air quality issuesBest Management Practices
Promote less-toxic pesticides and nonchemicalapproaches A more useful planning and recording approach for growers and PCAs
www.ipm.ucdavis.edu
What Drives Changes
The public demands itDirectly:
Air, water, land quality issuesIndirectly
Food and fiber produced in a “greener” mannerSysco initiative, NW Food Alliance, BASIC cotton pool, Protected Harvest, Lodi-Woodbridge winegrapes
The trend is to use selective, reduced risk products while increasing the biological reliance of the system

What Does theFuture Hold?
Increased complexityIncreased opportunity for distance learningWhy just static guidelines?Why not on-line learning with information?Simulations, models, virtual problem solving?
