Delaware Passes Invasive Plant bill <https://naisma.org/2021/02/24/delaware-passes-invasive-plant-bill-soon-to-join-atlantic-seaboard-states-with-legislation-on-commercial-traffic-of-invasive-plants/?mc_cid=7842692678&mc_eid=1ff2538378> 

The State of Delaware will soon be joining the group of Atlantic seaboard states that have legislation in place to restrict the commercial traffic of plant species that have been deemed to be invasive. The legislation states that no person may import, export, buy, sell, transport, distribute, or propagate any viable portion, including seeds, of an invasive plant in this State, and lists 37 species. See the legislation here <https://legis.delaware.gov/json/BillDetail/GenerateHtmlDocument?legislationId=48260&legislationTypeId=1&docTypeId=2&legislationName=SB22> .

A weekly collection of IPM news, webinars, employment and funding opportunities and more from the NE IPM Center.  If you have IPM-related research, events or other IPM news you would like to have included, please email me at nec2 at cornell.edu <mailto:nec2 at cornell.edu> 

Northeast IPM Center Spring Research Update Conference (Part II <https://neipmc.org/go/tSES> ), virtual, March 31, 10:30am ET

This rapid style virtual conference will feature 5-minute pre-recorded presentations in which the speakers will discuss 1 or 2 highlights from their research projects followed by a live Q&A. The purpose of the conference is to increase collaboration and awareness about current IPM-related research and extension in the Northeast in a fun way.

See the most recent up date to the USDA-NIFA Project CAFÉ Dashboard <https://nifa.usda.gov/project-cafe?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term=> 

This month, they kicked off a new Project CAFÉ initiative to streamline the panel manager hiring process. They also developed guidelines and best practices for hosting webinars for external stakeholders and identified five potential solutions for reducing the honoraria payment cycle times for peer review panelists.

Remember those packets of Chinese seeds from last year? Read the APHIS report on them. <https://vegetablegrowersnews.com/news/aphis-no-evidence-of-intentional-harm-to-us-ag-with-seed-shipments/?oly_enc_id=5912C0518689G6Y>  

APHIS has found no evidence that someone was intentionally trying to harm U.S. agriculture with these shipments. In fact, there is no correlation between where the seeds were sent and U.S. critical agriculture infrastructure. APHIS officials believe the unsolicited packages are part of an internet “brushing scam.” APHIS has updated their website <https://www.aphis.usda.gov/aphis/ourfocus/planthealth/import-information/permits/plants-and-plant-products-permits/plants-for-planting/buying-selling-plants-seeds-online/buying-selling-plants-seeds-online>  with some new rules. 

Texas growers suffer heavy vegetable crop losses <https://vegetablegrowersnews.com/news/texas-growers-suffer-heavy-vegetable-crop-losses/?oly_enc_id=5912C0518689G6Y> 

Last weekend, the Texas Citrus Mutual, reported losing 55% of grapefruit crops because of the arctic blast, with citrus industry losses  <https://www.freshfruitportal.com/news/2021/02/22/texas-citrus-losses-from-storm-estimated-to-be-at-least-300m/> estimated to be at least $300 million.

Out of more than 40 vegetable crops grown in the southern Rio Grande Valley, only three are hopeful to survive, onions, cabbage, and potatoes.

DDVP fact sheets <https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/ddvp-fact-sheets> 

DDVP is an insecticide that is no longer registered in the United States in its liquid form because it is dangerous to human health, especially children. It is, however, still used in other countries and brought into the United States illegally for sale and distribution. These products – Sniper and NoPest are examples – contain DDVP, also known as dichlorvos. EPA R2 is encountering the importation and smuggling of illegal, unregistered liquid DDVP into the US through airlines. The new EPA web site contains a variety of new fact sheets addressing this issue. The information provided states that this unregistered product is being used for bed bug control.

Maine proposing Emerald Ash Borer quarantine rules to try and stop the spread of this pest <https://www.maine.gov/dacf/php/caps/EAB/index.shtml> 

The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry’s (DACF) Plant Health Program (PHP) and Maine Forest Service (MFS) announced today that Maine is taking the next step to continue regulating the movement of ash wood material. Moving ash infested with Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) can spread this invasive insect to new areas. This decision follows USDA’s January 14, 2021 announcement of removing federal domestic EAB quarantine regulations. 

North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA) 2021 Annual Conference <https://naisma.org/conferences/?mc_cid=e46b315047&mc_eid=1ff2538378> , Sept 27-30, Missoula MT and virtually

Call for Abstracts: <https://naisma.org/conferences/abstract-submission/>  The planning committee is seeking abstracts for oral and poster presentations. Conference sessions will include all taxa of invasive organisms in North America (aquatic and terrestrial plants, animals, insects, and pathogens), with emphasis on Western habitats. Presentations that highlight cooperation across jurisdictional boundaries are particularly desired. Abstracts are due April 30.

Research:

Monitoring and Controlling House Mouse, <https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2615/11/3/648>   Mus musculus domesticus, Infestations in Low‐Income  Multi‐Family Dwellings

House mouse cause significant property damage and produce allergens that are linked to asthma and allergy. Current mouse management practices in these dwellings are not effective. This study attempted to gain insights into residents’ impressions of house mice, develop more effective mouse detection methods, and evaluate the effectiveness of building-wide mouse management programs. 

Webinars and on-line training:

This webinar is the second of a two-part series on managing invasive woody plants and will cover Oriental bittersweet, multiflora rose, Japanese barberry, and honeysuckle. Attendees will learn the IPM practices used to provide cost-effective management of these woody invasives such as mechanical removal (cutting and shredding), herbicide treatments, fire, and biological controls. Learn how to identify these species and to develop IPM-based strategies for their prevention and control in your region.

IPM Hour Webinar <http://westernipm.org/index.cfm/about-the-center/publications/the-ipm-hour/> , March 10, 12 noon Pacific time

Hear from 2 presenters, Qiting Chen, IPM Specialist, City of Edmonton, Alberta on Invasive weeds, and Anastasia Bodnar, USDA Office of Pest Management Policy, on an OPMP overview.

5 <https://www.uvm.edu/~saffron/Workshops/Saffron%20Workshop%202021/SaffronWorkshopMarch2021announcement.pdf> th Annual Saffron Workshop, March 11 & 18, virtual, fee

For the past 6 years, UVM scientists have been studying the cultivation of saffron in Vermont. They obtained yields greater than what is reported in traditional saffron-growing areas of Asia and Europe. Hundreds of farmers across the US are growing saffron successfully, and selling it for $25-50 per gram! The emerging North American saffron industry is growing every year, and producers are eager to learn more. Experts from Vermont, Rhode Island, and beyond and growers from Vermont and California will share their knowledge on production. Specialists will speak about production and disease management, and how to dry and then sell the harvest. 

Non-native Invasive Earthworms 101: From the Nightcrawler to the Jumping Worm <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FqUFgIFxR1eZIrOQ1LUUqQ?mc_cid=1e47d1fe3d&mc_eid=1ff2538378> , March 17 1pm CT

We will start the discussion with European earthworms (Nightcrawlers are an example) and how they got here, what their impacts are and what we can do. We will then move to Asian earthworms (Jumping worms are an example) the latest invasive worm to arrive in the region. 

Multiple herbicide resistance in weeds: <https://www.zoomgov.com/meeting/register/vJIsceGurTotHqXF9sPp3IUEXTdwCF2SyGo>  Can new mode-of-action discovery solve the problem? March 17, 3pm ET

While herbicides are the most effective and widely adopted weed management practice, the evolution of multiple herbicide resistance in damaging weed species threatens the yield and profitability of many crops. Weeds accumulate multiple resistance mechanisms through gene flow, with international transport of herbicide resistant weeds proving to be a serious issue. Dr. Todd Gaines, presenter.
