Minutes of the meeting on Jan 12^th, 2005, 12:30 pm 

Participants:

Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy
Dr. Subi Bhadriraju
Dr. Frank Arthur

Writing Assignments:

1. Need identification (Vertical components of the PMSS matrix)
   1. Prevention - Dr. Frank Arthur
   2. Monitoring - Dr. Tom Phillips
   3. Sampling - Dr. Subi Bhadriraju
   4. Suppression – Dr. Dirk Maier

2. Plan of the work (Horizontal components of the PMSS matrix)

Dr. Subi Bhadriraju and Dr. Frank Arthur

The proposal needs to focus on identifying biological hazards (key pests) along the farm-to-table continuum, determining critical points along the continuum for control, identifying tactics (chemical and nonchemical) for exclusion or control, and establishing thresholds for management.

3. Implementation, evaluation and technology transfer (binary decision making flow charts for PMSS)

Dr. Tom Phillips and Dr. Dirk Maier 

The proposal needs to focus on developing practical procedures for monitoring pests to determine if they have exceeded the threshold, evaluating the implemented tactics in managing pests, and project demonstrations and technology transfer 

4. Obtaining stake holder support and compiling different proposals into one component

Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy

Reports need to be circulated among PI’s on or before January 21, 2005
