- W645055896 abstract "Arizona cotton growers were surveyed regarding the importance of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Best Management Practices (BMP). Telephone surveys reached 249 individuals over a ten -day period. The survey asked growers to rate the importance of each IPM/BMP tactic on a scale of 1 (not important) to 5 (very important). Of the 14 practices /tactics listed for IPM, eight had significant chi square values. These included scouting, crop rotation, variety selection, petiole testing for nitrogen, pheromone use, equipment calibration, and stalk destruction. Of the eight practices /tactics listed for BMP, six had significant chi -square values. These included crop rotation, timing and splitting of nitrogen applications, petiole testing, time of planting and variety selection for specific suppression (Bt cotton). In general, whether it was an IPM, weed management, or a BMP practice/tactic, the growers scored a majority of the tactics as important. It.could be inferred from the growers' responses that they agree that the practices listed as important were, in fact, important grower practices. Introduction and Background As we approach the 21st Century, our society continues to focus on reducing environmental pollutants. Many consumers consider pesticides to be major environmental pollutants because of their potential to contaminate the food and water we consume, and air we breathe. Modern agriculture is expected to use integrated pest management practices (IPM) and best management practices (BMP) to reduce dependency on pesticide use wherever possible and thus reduce environmental pollutants. However, documenting reductions in pesticide use that can be attributed to 1PM practices and BMPs is difficult. Therefore, establishing baseline data on management practices and pesticide use is critical in order to document reduced pesticide use through IPM practices and BMP. Documenting wise use of pesticides and other resources is essential to the future of agriculture in Arizona. The Arizona cotton industry is undergoing rapid changes in pesticide use patterns due to initial successes with new technologies such as insect growth regulators (IGRs) and Bt cotton, a new selective herbicide (Staple), and herbicide resistant cotton varieties (e.g., BXN and Roundup Ready). These new technologies require cautious use and a continuous pursuit of information that will enable us to maintain their viability. However, if the past use of pesticides is an indicator of the future, resistance to new pest control technologies will occur. Therefore, it is important to establish baseline data on current technologies and practices in order to observe and document changes resulting from new technologies. Materials and Methods A tactics survey, based in part on a Texas study, was developed to determine the importance of IPM/BMP practices on cotton growing decisions (see Appendix A). Cotton growers were either asked to rate the importance of each 1PM/BMP tactic on a scale of 1 (Not Important) to 5 (Very Important), or asked questions that required Yes or No, or short answers." @default.
