Projects 1. IPM Surveys (2005) & Committee 2. Corn Earworm Monitoring and Resistance Network (2006) 3. Cucurbit IPM Program Development for Great Lakes Expo (2007) & Committee Listed below are the main accomplishments of the GLVWG during the first two years as specified in the grant funded by NCR IPM Center. The initial project involves developing an IPM Vegetable Adoption Surveys for key crops in the region. IPM information gleaned from the surveys will be distributed back to states and stakeholders, and form the basis of future educational or research programs or projects. IPM Vegetable Surveys (July, 2007)
1 - Summary not available due to lack of grower responses 2 - Surveymonkey links deactivated as of May, 2007 Project Committee - IPM Adoption Survey
2. Corn Earworm Monitoring and Resistance Network GLVWG members from nearly every state assisted in monitoring CEW in support of the NC IPM Center funded project. The goals of this project are to track migrating flights of adults into the midwest for both timing and treatment recommendations as well as resistance testing. Updates of this project were made by Bill Hutchison via the VegEdge newsletter. Visit Dr. Hutchison's web only newsletter for more details or visit the trapping website directly. 3. Cucurbit IPM Program Development for Great Lakes Expo (2007) At the 2007 annual meeting, a Project Committee was formed to undertake developing a Cucurbit IPM program at the 2007 Great Lakes Expo in Michigan. Although not focusing exclusively on pumpkin, this program stems from the steady focus we have had within the WG on cucurbits in addition to the region wide pumpkin IPM survey which identified additional IPM training as a high priority. The program was designed initially as a set of 4 disciplines (weed science, pathology, entomology, etc) each containing 1.5 hours of programming. This is subject to change pending further discussions and decisions of the committee. Please contact committee Chair Elaine Roddy (OMAFRA) for any questions related to the program. Look for this committee to develop and communicate a timeline of activities to be accomplished leading up to the Expo, with possible requests for specific help in program planning. Two reasons for holding this program at the Great Lakes Expo include it is an early meeting with traditionally high attendance, plus we intend to package the information presented in such a way as to be used in other statewide vegetable congresses or schools.

Upcoming Projects We intend to conduct a number of focus/educational grower group meetings in several states to discuss and validate information collected by the IPM adoption surveys. Any comments made by the focus/grower groups will be incorporated into the existing survey summary.
