The fruits (or vegetables) of the Great Lakes Vegetable Working
Group by
Jim Jasinski
For the past six months, University personnel who specialize in
vegetable research and Extension programming, along with industry stakeholders
have been working together to develop vegetable IPM adoption surveys. This is
the first major initiative of the Great Lakes Vegetable Working Group (GLVWG)
formed in October, 2004. The mission of the working group is to foster
communication and collaboration between vegetable specialists in the
The GLVWG decided that understanding IPM adoption in key vegetable crops across
the region is essential to focus our resources and direct our outreach and
research efforts. To that end, with input from both University and industry
representatives, we have developed state and crop specific IPM adoption
surveys. The intent of the surveys is to determine which IPM practices are
commonly used among growers. The results of this survey will be a major
influence in future research and Extension efforts. By completing the survey,
you help us continue to serve you.
These surveys are designed to be taken over the Internet. Most questions
require only a click to select the proper response(s); very little typing is
involved. Your responses will be kept confidential. Sections of each
survey will evaluate general pest management knowledge, training needs, and
actual pest management practices from a preplant
through post harvest time frame. These surveys are designed to take 10-15
minutes to complete. One completed survey per state per crop will be
chosen at random to receive a free gift such as a current vegetable production
guide or sweatshirt from that state or province.
To begin the survey, either double click the link directly below in this
article or cut and paste the link into your web browser's URL address bar

have access to the Internet and need a hard copy of the survey.
