Expansion of the Integrated Pest Management Pest Information Platform for Education and Extension (ipmPIPE) to Address New Crop/Pest Compleses of Importance to U.S. Agriculture 2008
ipmPIPE.org (Pest Information Platform for Extension & Education).
This is a call for proposals to address expansion of the ipmPIPE for additional crop/pest complexes of concern to U.S. Agriculture. The mission of ipmPIPE is to realize a dynamic, integrated system to be deployed to a regional or national audience, facilitated by information technology, which provides centralized, useful tools with reliable information for IPM practitioners. The strategy for ipmPIPE is to enhance IPM decision support systems to include disease, insect and weed pests of economically important crop plants. The ipmPIPE platform will address local, regional, and national interests; help growers document crop management actions for insurance claims; and provide a structure that can be quickly deployed in response to threats from exotic/invasive pests.
Electronic versions of the proposals must be received by Dec 7, 2007. In addition, one signed, paper copy of the complete proposal must be received by Dec 14, 2007.
