manage pests, and often mini
mizes pesticide use.
Traditionally, IPM programs
are initiated by researchers at
land-grant universities and other
institutions who study crop and
pest systems and develop new pest
management methods. The co
operative extension system typi
cally distributes the information to
growers and teaches them the new
methods.
However, this program has put
a twist on tradition, involving pro
ducers and concultants in planning
and carrying out the research. The

researchers and Pennsylvania De
partment of Agriculture special
ists.
The organization focuses first
on forecasting key plant and pest
events. By observing weather con
ditions, plant development and
pest populations, specialists often
can predice the timing and sever
ity of pest outbreaks. Control mea
sures, such as pesticides, then can
be used only when necessary.
The group also is making
strides in education by offering in
depth workshops on specific
pests, a weekly bulletin, pest
walks, biannual IPM conferences,
consumer IPM fact sheets and an
upcoming site on the Internet
The results of the program are
promising. For example, subscrib
ers to the group’s weekly scouting
projects have drastically reduced
routine, preventive pesticide
spraying now members spray
only as needed. In addition, 70

percent of these subscribers have
adopted IPM-type programs.
Suchanic said the group makes
the most of limited resources,
sharing the cost of weather-moni
toring equipment and other sup
plies. “We’re doing some pretty
good work on a shoestring bud
get,” he said. “Penn State’s De
partment of Entomology also has
contributed key resources.”
In addition, the group is advised
by cooperative extension experts
from Penn State and the Univer
sity of Delaware, as well as spe
cialists from the Pennsylvania De
partment of Agriculture to ensure
that experimental designs and data
analyses are correct. “Our re
search is planned by the people
who will use the results, so we are
pretty sure to address the right
problems,” Suchanic said. “And
with a dedicated group of techni
cal advisors behind us, we can be
confident our group is addressing
the problems correctly.
