Description
Our goal is to promote high quality plant protection by bringing the highest grade Integrated Pest Management techniques,
recommendations, and technologies to our clients in unified, coordinated efforts. In order to
accomplish this we have developed a program comprised of six coordinated working groups
(Corn/soybean, Wheat, Nursery, Vegetable, Master Gardener, Plant Disease Diagnostics and
Coordination), grouped into four areas of emphasis. Our coordination effort is meant to support the
working groups and maintain links with national, regional and other appropriate programming
efforts. The working groups contain subject matter experts with expertise in: Entomology, Plant
Pathology, Weed Science, Plant Physiology, Plant Breeding, Soil Science, Fertility, Crop
Production (field, nursery, and vegetable), Stored grain, Ag-weather, and Ag-machinery, from six
academic departments in the UK College of Agriculture. Cooperative Extension Service county
agents for Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Horticulture, crop producers and agribusiness
professionals also bring expertise, ideas and needs to the groups. Our program is directly allied to
related programs by shared interests, and experts (Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey, IR-4,
ipm/PIPE, KY State Entomologist, Pesticide Safety Education, and Southern Plant Diagnostic
Network). Our belief and experience is that as we accomplish this it will result in improved
economic benefits to producers, while promoting environmental stewardship and safe pesticide use
practices. We have a track record of such accomplishments and expect that to continue.
