LEGUME IPMPIPE — A NEW OPTION FOR GENERATING, SUMMARIZING AND DISSEMINATING REAL-TIME PEST DATA TO STAKEHOLDERS

摘要

Legume ipmPIPE (Pest Information Platform for Extension and Education) enhances the role of extension specialists in IPM by providing near real-time access to observations, model output, pest management information, and diagnostic images at http://legume.ipmpipe.org. Communication tools also allow specialists to customize information for dissemination to crop consultants and growers. The diversity of pathogens, pests and hosts are uniquely suited to demonstrate the value of the ipmPIPE as a "one-stopshop" for legumes. Educators and stakeholders can easily obtain information on pathogens and pests identified in a specific area or general region. Progress to date was presented to and input solicited from the BIC meeting participants; which included 78 responses to the following 10-question survey which will help guide future efforts of the Legume ipmPIPE team. Additional information on the Legume ipmPIPE is summarized in the BIC Poster Proceedings by M. Langham et al.
