Abstract

A complete program of integrated pest management (IPM) for commercial greenhouse production was developed. Comprehensive educational materials in the form of fact sheets, guidelines, action checklists, bulletins and a regular news-letter were produced to aid commercial greenhouse growers in Oklahoma. This literature was also used to supplement two intensive IPM workshops provided statewide to Oklahoma growers, educators and cooperative extension agents. In addition to written materials, two satellite videoconferences were conducted for the benefit of county extension agents and their clientele across the state and throughout the U.S., where compatible down-link facilities existed. Videotapes were prepared from the videoconferences for the benefit of growers and cooperative extension agents who lacked access to down-link satellite technology or desired a record for later study. A detailed implementation guide with support materials is available for initiation of a greenhouse IPM program for any state. Very few modifications if any would be necessary to adopt the OSU program.
