Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Expansion of the I-PIPE soybean (as well as corn and wheat) pest lists to include important insects and weeds.
2. Inclusion of other cropping systems and their pests in the I-PIPE.
3. Modification of the system and its services in response to feedback on I-PIPE functionality and products from soybean Extension specialist and USB representatives who attend the 2014 North Central Extension Research Activity (NCERA) 212, NCERA 208 and SSDW meetings. We will also respond to feedback from other groups of I-PIPE participants (e.g., corn extension pathologists, crop consultants, industry representatives).
4. Increased I-PIPE participation through discussions of and workshops on the system at meetings of crop consultants, extension specialists (focused on other crops), and industry representatives.
5. Expansion of I-PIPE participation and support from agricultural companies and stakeholder groups.
6. Collaborative arrangements with third-party companies that have their own smartphone APPs for pest and crop scouting.
