title = "The ipmPIPE: Overview, lessons, opportunities, and challenges",
abstract = "The ipmPIPE (Integrated Pest Management Pest Information Platform for Extension and Education) was first developed as a response to the threat of soybean rust (SBR), caused by the pathogen Phakopsora pachyrhizi. Since that time the ipmPIPE portfolio has grown to include {"}PIPEs{"} for soybean aphid Aphis glycines Matsumura (now discontinued), legume diseases, cucurbit downy mildew caused by the pathogen Pseudoperonospora cubensis (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Rostovzev, pecan nut casebearer Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig with pecan scab caused by Cladosporium caryigenum (Ellis & Langl.) (Gottwald forecasting in development), Southern corn rust caused by Puccinia polysora Underw., and onion pests. In addition, the Western Specialty Crops ipmPIPE, the North Central ipmPIPE, and the Pennsylvania PIPE each address multiple pest situations found within defined geographic boundaries and a PIPE is in development for ornamentals that will address multiple pathogens on multiple hosts. This report explains the general concept of the ipmPIPE approach and discusses common elements of most PIPEs. It provides a brief history of funding and development. Finally, it addresses crosscutting issues including suitability of this approach to different pest and crop combinations and sustainability.",

note = "Funding Information: During the 2007 season (with FY 2006 funds), ipmPIPE was again supported by RMA (approximately $3.5 million) supplemented with Soybean Check off funding. In addition to the SBR PIPE, the program also initiated development of the Soybean Aphid (SBA) PIPE and the Legume PIPE. The soybean aphid Aphis glycines Matsamura, occurs primarily in the states of the upper Midwest but in some years affects states farther from the primary production region. The SBA PIPE was led initially by Amanda Hodges of the Southern Plant Diagnostic Network at the University of Florida, and later led jointly by Eileen Cullen (University of Wisconsin) and Ames Herbert (Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University). The Legume PIPE addresses several diseases of beans (several species) in states participating in the SBR PIPE as well as other states not previously covered. Howard Schwartz of Colorado State University and Marie Langham of South Dakota State University provide programmatic leadership for the Legume PIPE. Both new modules were added to the existing SBR IT infrastructure on the ZedX servers. Funding Information: Funding from RMA tapered after FY 2008, and program growth slowed accordingly. Extension entomologists decided to discontinue the SBA PIPE before the 2010 season. Optimization of the SBR monitoring network continued and resulted eventually in a monitoring focus on southern states where the disease can overwinter. This work was supported primarily with National Soybean Checkoff funds (about $350,000 annually), supplemented by state and Land Grant University in-kind efforts and by state grower associations in some states. The Legume PIPE contracted somewhat but continues to address legume disease issues in several states, with funding of approximately $350,000 in each of FY 2008 and 2009. Funding Information: The North Central ipmPIPE and the Pennsylvania PIPE (PA-PIPE) are two PIPEs each arranged around a geographic paradigm rather than focusing on a particular crop/pest setting. The North Central ipmPIPE was released online in 2010 and serves the north central region with multiple crop-pest related maps, currently displaying information on black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel); brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (St{\aa}l); and western bean cutworm, Striacosta albicosta (Smith). NC ipmPIPE is led by Daren Mueller at Iowa State University and is funded through grants from EPA and the North Central IPM Center. The PA-PIPE provides online access to crop, insect, disease, weather and weed models pertinent to Pennsylvania, and was developed collaboratively by Pennsylvania State University Extension, PA Department of Agriculture, and ZedX, Inc.
