- This USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) Project Grant award of $225,000 to Washington State University supports the development and implementation of advanced time-series models to improve agricultural pest forecasting. The project aims to generate higher-resolution predictions of when and where pest populations like the codling moth and Colorado potato beetle will emerge, peak, and decline. By incorporating historical data,...
- This federal Project Grant award from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program provides $750,000 to Cornell University to develop alternative pest management strategies for the Colorado potato beetle, a major pest of potatoes. The key objectives are to 1) use the pheromone of the spined soldier bug predator to trigger non-consumptive effects that reduce beetle abundance and plant damage, and 2) investigate the...
- The University of Vermont will receive $683,490 over five years from the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, an agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative competitive federal grants program. The project aims to study how sublethal exposure to the neonicotinoid insecticide imidacloprid impacts multigenerational and transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of insecticide tolerance in the Colorado potato beetle. Researchers will use an...
- The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin - Madison division, was awarded a $299,900 Project Grant from the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to develop algorithms and a decision framework for using insect eavesdropping technology to monitor pest damage in major agricultural crops. The key objectives are to: (1) Develop an algorithm that correlates insect eavesdropper sensor signals to pest density, and (2) Create a decision tree...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $262,737.48 project grant to Colorado State University under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program. The goal of this 2-year project is to develop an AI-based decision support system that will allow farmers and other stakeholders to identify agricultural pests by uploading cellphone photos to a mobile application. This system will target pests of small grains in the Inland...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $292,246 Project Grant under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (CFDA 10.310) to Iowa State University of Science and Technology. The project aims to understand the factors driving the adaptation, persistence, and emergence of beetle-transmitted bacterial plant pathogens, using a bacterial wilt pathogen affecting cucurbit crops as a study system. The research will explore mechanisms influencing...
