• 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
  AM, USDA-ARS, McGill University
• 13 PIs, many collaborators
• Upland Pima cottons, seed alfalfa, vegetable
  vegetable seed crops, eggplant, chiles, guayule,
  lesquerella, dry beans

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)
