Description
Our goal is to promote high quality plant protection while prtecting the environment and reducing human risk.
We do this by bringing the highest grade IPM techniques, recommendations, and technologies to our clients
in unified, coordinated efforts. In order to accomplish this we have developed a program comprised of five
coordinated working groups (Corn/Soybean, Wheat, Nursery, Vegetable, and Master Gardener), grouped into
four areas of emphasis plus the Coordination effort. 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 Department 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
environmetnal stewardship and safe pesticide use practices. We have a track record of such accomplishments
and expect that to continue.
