Extending Knowledge of IPM for Orchard Crops - A CDFA Specialty Crop Block Grant funded development of a website that showcases many examples of successful, science-based pest management practices in California. The website also hosts interactive grower surveys on the effectiveness of various pest management practices. The intent of the surveys is to allow growers to anonymously record their own views on how well various pest management practices work, and then compare their views to those submitted by other growers. In this fashion, growers’ voices can be heard and their experiences can complement laboratory and field research data to develop more practical science-based pest management tools and analyses. 2013 Growing Season: Peach and Nectarine Survey (2013) ; Walnut Survey (2013); Cherry Survey (2013). 2012 Growing Season: Peach and Nectarine Survey (2012); Walnut Survey (2012); Cherry Survey (2012).
