Education & Communication
Educational activities will occur in several different venues. The concept of the Pest Management Transition Project will be discussed at Extension winter meetings, at grower meetings held by warehouses or fruit packinghouses and in association with other industry meetings. Check the Events Calendar for specific scheduled opportunities.
The primary in depth educational opportunity for growers and managers will be through Implementation Unit meetings. These will be held prior to the growing season and at intervals during the growing season and include appropriate crop consultants working with the growers and orchard managers. Education will include reviews of how new insecticides fit into an apple pest management program and how programs of individual growers might be designed to take advantages of the new insecticide tools in their program.
Educational outreach activities will also occur with our stakeholders in the environmental community, sustainable agriculture, government and regulatory agencies and with farm labor groups.
Communication with growers and orchard managers participating in Implementation Units will be in face-to-face meetings, through electronic means (email updates and newsletters), regular mail (newsletters) and progress reports summarizing project activities, as well as, information available to the public on the webpage.
Communication with stakeholders will be available on this website. Progress towards objectives will be provided in various reports in the Assessment and Documentation section of this website as they become available.
The Pest Management Transition Project has an email address where specific questions can be asked or comments directed to the Project Manager or the Executive Committee members.Email: pmtp.info@wsu.edu
