Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The University of Kentucky Grain Crops Integrated Pest Management group organized a 4-week webinar series in November of 2023 to provide stakeholders with research-based information, and also provide Certified Crop Advisor continuing education credits, County Agent In-service training, and pesticide applicator training to clientele. The webinar series was organized by Jason Travis, Extension Associate, and hosted by the Southern Integrated Pest Management Center. Speakers included Dr. Kiersten Wise, Dr. Carl Bradley, Dr. Raul T. Villanueva, and Dr. Travis Legleiter, all extension specialists at the University of Kentucky. Topics included the latest Kentucky pest issues in grain crops and updates on pest management. These webinars had over 280 total attendees. In addition to local stakeholder and Agent attendees, each webinar had attendees from states outside of Kentucky. Multiple people attended more than one webinar in the series. Several locations hosted viewing sessions for individuals who either did not have consistent internet access or chose to view the webinars at local businesses or extension offices. Feedback on the webinar series indicates that this is an important tool for Agent education on field crop integrated pest management topics.
