  • NE IPM Center Partnership Proposal 2009
    Partnership 2009 Rozyne Proposal Northeastern IPM Center – IPM Partnership Grants – 2009 – Proposal Project Description PD: Michael Rozyne Project Title: Meeting New Challenges, Meeting our Consumer 1. Project Category: Eco Apple IPM Working Group (IWG): 2. Project Summary Red Tomato, a non-profit organization, will continue to convene and coordinate an IPM Working Group including apple growers, agricultural scientists and extension agents, and its own in-house team of salespeople, communications manager, and art director. The close working relationship among growers, scientists, and marketers adds unusual depth and practicality to this project. The Eco Apple program has grown at a prodigious pace, from $400,000 in sales in 2005 to over $1.9 Million in 2008. But we need to balance this rapid growth with a strengthening of the Eco Apple IPM Protocol and the program itself, to sustain this growth over the long term. In this project, the Eco Apple IPM Working Group will build on the success of the Eco Apple program by strengthening its development of best practices – specifically, addressing the growing problem of internal Lepidoptera - and by strengthening its educational outreach to consumers. We propose to accomplish this latter goal by collecting and disseminating comparative pesticide use data of Eco vs. conventional apples, and by utilizing new technologies (including website blogs & videos, social networking, and DVDs) to reach consumers directly. We also propose to expand the program by pursuing relationships with Midwest growers, by researching value-added Eco Apple products, and researching extending this model to other crops. This program can continue to grow rapidly, even expanding to other regions and other fruits, but we must minimize the associated risks to ensure that this growth is sustainable.
