This $324,979 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (CFDA 10.329 Crop Protection and Pest Management Competitive Grants Program) aims to improve phosphine resistance management in insect pest populations in food facilities across multiple states. The key products and services to be delivered include:

  1. Optimizing an early warning phosphine resistance screening tool based on recessive allele frequency
  2. Conducting a survey of phosphine resistance in key Great Plains food facilities in corn, rice, and wheat-producing states
  3. Validating and implementing diversified integrated pest management tactics to manage phosphine resistance in bulk storage and processing facilities
  4. Engaging industry stakeholders on the importance of resistance screening, response protocols, and associated costs

The project involves a multi-state, multi-institution collaborative effort led by Kansas State University, with sub-awards to the Agricultural Research Service and universities in Arkansas and Nebraska. The goal is to provide stakeholders with advance warning of resistance development and empirically-driven guidance to support effective resistance management programs, contributing to USDA strategic objectives related to food security and environmental protection.
