Since its inception in 2010, the Lincoln University (LU) IPM Program has been developing (through research) and promoting (through Extension) effective and affordable IPM strategies to combat pests affecting vegetable and small fruit production in Missouri. From 2011 to 2013 the LU IPM program partnered with the Missouri Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program and implemented four train-the-trainer workshops. Overall, subject matter experts from nine US states provided training to 153 Extension educators from Univ. of Missouri Extension, LU Cooperative Extension, USDA Natural Resources and Conservation Service (NRCS), Missouri Department of Agriculture, Missouri Department of Conservation, University of Illinois Extension, and University of Nebraska Extension. Educators indicated that they significantly increased their IPM knowledge leading to improved abilities to assist farmers. The implementation of these 2-day workshops also resulted in important mid-term outcomes. For example, results from 9-month post-workshop surveys indicated that: (1) 2,453 farmers were assisted by 83 trainees using IPM information received at the workshops, (2) 26.5% of the respondents wrote articles for newsletters and/or newspaper columns using IPM information (131 total outputs), and (3) 86.7% of the respondents visited 595 farms and used IPM information. Overall, the implementation of this type of Extension IPM activities has proven successful, and the outcomes highlight the efforts that the LU IPM program is taking to train Extension educators within and outside Missouri in necessary IPM skills.
