2011 Survey
A regional group of Extension specialists from TN, GA, NC, SC, & KY surveyed current pest (insect, disease, & weed) management practices and current pest priorities of growers in southeastern, wholesale, ornamental nurseries. Our efforts have been funded by the Southern Region Integrated Pest Management Center (SRIPMC) and supported by each cooperating state’s nursery and landscape trade organization.
Results for each state will be combined and made available as an average. Combined results for grower initiated priorities for future pest management issues will be available to research, teaching, and Extension professionals, as well as the entire green industry. This insight into current and emerging pest priorities will allow research and Extension professionals to design their programs to investigate and resolve the most pressing pest issues in the green industry. Growers will be able to compare their pest management practices between states.
The survey was released to growers in GA, KY, NC, SC, & TN 8 July 2009 and was available to growers for online completion until 1 March 2010.
The survey took approximately 15 - 20 minutes to complete and all responses were anonymous and kept confidential.
