| Maryland’s Home and Garden Information Center (HGIC) helps users solve pest problems using visual diagnostic keys with color photos on its web site. |  |
Now, extension specialist Mary Kay Malinoski (with colleagues David Clement and Jon Traunfeld) has created a unique electronic question-and-answer service, accessible through the HGIC, that allows clients to submit gardening questions (with digital photos) via e-mail. Trained cooperative extension personnel receive the questions and provide research-based information with IPM management solutions to the problems. Priority is given to questions from the Northeast region.
This pilot project was made possible by a grant from the Northeast Regional Integrated Pest Management Grants Program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
