2016 Sugarcane Aphid Monitoring Project Sugarcane aphid early detec1on system and repor1ng tool using myFields.info: As part of a mul-state collabora-on, we are deploying an applica-on for 2016. A pest alert network will connect Extension specialists and agents to provide sorghum producers with real-me informa-on on aphid movement. This will be linked to current management resources for their area. Collaborators from OK, TX, LA, AR, and KS are currently developing a thresholdbased sampling plan for this pest, which will be made available to users aKer model valida-on and field tes-ng. Sign up for a FREE account to receive sugarcane aphid alerts and no:fica:ons when it has been detected near you! myFields.info Project Leaders in KSRE: Brian McCornack, contact [email protected] Wendy Johnson, contact [email protected] Visit hSps://www.myfields.info/sca to learn more! For farmers: At recent crop schools, we asked farmers to sign up for accounts (above message) in order to receive no-fica-ons when SCA has been detected in nearby areas of state/county. For Agents: We are developing an Agent user role on the site with special permissions to report SCA presence this year, in conjunc-on with other states on this project. Your data will confirmed by your local specialist, and sent to an outside webservice (Bugwood.org) for real-me mapping and used for the farmer no-fica-ons system. We strongly encourage you to par-cipate, as your shared data will also be used in our upcoming myNetworks feature that will allow for more interac-on with clients. Expect a followup email from us regarding par:cipa:on on data repor:ng this spring. Page 3
