This presentation provides a description of the IPM project in Alabama that is based on technology convergence in the digital age. This presentation also discusses some of the major findings of the two-year insect survey project that demonstrated that sustainable agricultural practices in the long run can reduce insect outbreaks and need for corrective action. The presentation was delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Entomological Society of America 2010, San Diego, CA.

Livestock farmers in Africa are facing important challenges on animal health. Diseases of cattle are reported by farmers as an important factor limiting productivity and income generation. Limited capacity and infrastructure of government services for disease identification and control. Lack of systematic disease surveillance – Ad hoc surveys give biased picture on priority diseases.

Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus (RVFV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that causes explosive outbreaks of severe human and livestock disease in Africa and Arabian Peninsula. The rapid evolution of RVF outbreaks generates exceptional challenges in its mitigation and control. A decision-support tool (DST) for prevention and control of RVF in the Greater Horn of Africa identifies a series of events that indicates increasing risk of an outbreak and matches interventions to each event (RVF-DST, 2010).
This poster presents information from a study that assessed the effectiveness of targeted vaccination in mitigating the impacts of RVF outbreaks.

Has some news slides about factors that influence insect pests in high tunnels and some slides on how to improve quality of organic produce with correct use of organic insecticides. Refer to the other long version of the high tunnel IPM presentation I have for details about the three-tiered IPM recommendations for Alabama producers.
This is a portion of the talk given at the Certified Horticultural Retailer meetings across Alabama. This provides some more research-based insecticide updates compared to the earlier uploaded talk. Both organic and conventional insecticides have been discussed. Extension resources are mentioned at the end of the slide show. For feedback, email bugdoctor@auburn.edu.

This presentation is part of a video series we are developing for a course module to help organic farmers and gardeners. The video is under production and will be available shortly at https://www.youtube.com/user/acesfieldvideo?feature=watch. Please consult your county Extension office for full recommendations and check with your supplier for organic insecticides. Products can also be purchased online.
This presentation was developed for high tunnel crop producers who are regularly plagued by many chewing and sucking insect pests. This presentation ends with a brief discussion of organic insecticides and other pest management methods. For questions, call 251-331-8416 or contact the county Extension office in your state.
This presentation was delivered at the Georgia Organics Annual Conference in Atlanta on February 23, 2013. Provides basic information on IPM approaches in sustainable vegetable production systems.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
