| The Integrated Pest Management - Pest Information Platform for Extension and Education (IPM-PIPE) was first conceptualized during early outbreaks of soybean aphid in the North Central U.S. during 2000-02, but was implemented in early 2005 for the purpose of monitoring soybean rust in North America. Currently, the IPM-PIPE involves monitoring and reporting soybean rust and soybean aphid in 35 states and three Canadian provinces. In 2007, a pilot Legume component was also established. Although information technology support for the IPM-PIPE is advanced, the concept follows a standard IPM template: 1) collect information, 2) analyze information, 3) make recommendations, 4) keep records, and 5) build historical data base. Advances of the IPM-PIPE over the existing IPM template include easy stakeholder access to national pest incidence and distribution data, disease forecasting, and state-specific control recommendations, through a public website, on a near-real time basis. The IPM-PIPE has greatly enhanced communication among scientists.
