2. Ellsworth/UA USDA-CSREES, Risk Avoidance & Mitigation Program (RAMP) $2,500,000 over 4 years Developing and implementing field and landscape level reduced-risk management strategies for Lygus in Western cropping systems Scope –4 Western States, AZ (Lead), CA, NM, TX –7 Institutions, UA, UC-Davis, UC-IPM, NMSU, TX A&M, USDA-ARS, McGill University –13 PI’s, many collaborators –Upland & Pima cottons, seed alfalfa, vegetable & vegetable seed crops, eggplant, chiles, guayule, lesquerella, dry beans

3. Ellsworth/UA Potential Impact Other affected crops (not in RAMP) –Clover seed, sugarbeets, celery, strawberry, peach, nectarine, pulses, plum, pear, lettuce AZ no. 1 producers of broccoli & cauliflower seed –1-2 sprays each year; 10% loss in seed quality Eggplant losses 3-10% in CA & ca. 1.5 sprays 1M A of alfalfa grown in CA/AZ Guayule could increase to as much as 200,000 A Cotton = $1 billion crop in RAMP states, half of all U.S. production Old controls: dimethoate (1962), dicrotophos (1964), aldicarb (1970), methamidophos (1972), acephate (1973), oxamyl (1974), pyrethroid (1979)
