Description
The integrated pest management (IPM) program in Kentucky has a long track record of
accomplishment in terms of facilitating implementation of alternative, sustainable pest and resource
management practices and returning value relative to the grant dollars invested. The program has
always been transdisciplinary, applying solutions to pest, disease, and agricultural management
challenges that cross the boundaries of two or more disciplines through education, demonstration,
and evaluation. To address the dynamic pest management needs in Kentucky, the extension IPM
program has established working groups that focus on needs within two of the eIPM-CS emphasis
areas; IPM Implementation for Agronomic Crops which emphasizes corn, soybeans and wheat and
IPM Implementation for Specialty Crops with a focus on fruit, vegetable and nursery crops. Each of
our five multidisciplinary working groups operate within an eIPM-CS emphasis area and also
support the plant disease diagnostics labs and overall IPM coordination. The KY IPM program also
conducts an annual training workshop and stakeholder meeting to develop and refine IPM priorities
for Kentucky.
