I am the Eastern NYS IPM Area Educator for Field Crops and Livestock. I design IPM extension programs based on sound educational research. The process of need assessment, planning, curriculum development, implementation and measurable impacts are always part of my educational design. The educational focus is on-farm IPM education in small learning groups. This design has proven results and thus, has shown to increase participation and rates of adoption with the target audiences. The NYS IPM Field Crops Team has developed an extension program where small groups of field crop producers meet at each others farms on a regular basis over the course of a growing season. When you meet with producers on a regular basis in a training program they will retain more knowledge and are willing to use the IPM practices that are being taught. The original program is called Tactical Agriculture (TAg) which is an experiential, hands-on integrated pest and crop management educational program for field crop producers, and other agribusiness personnel in field corn and alfalfa. The TAg program teaches producers to better manage field crops, protect the environment, optimize net profitability, and reduce health risks. More recently we have developed new TAg programs like: Soybean, Wheat, Advanced Corn and Alfalfa, and Organic Field Crops TAg. Impacts of the program are measured through pre and post testing of IPM knowledge and an exit survey to determine the level of adoption of new practices. Producers greatly increase their knowledge and adopt about 90% of the new practices presented. We also prepare a report that is a compilation of pest data collected on a weekly basis from TAg participantsÕ fields. The NYS Field Crops Weekly Pest Report is to provide timely pest information to field crop extension educators. Extension educators statewide can glean the information needed to provide to their producersÕ current pest information.
