Integrated Programs

GENERAL: NIFA Integrated Programs provide support for integrated research, education, and extension activities. Integrated, multi-functional projects are particularly effective in addressing important agricultural issues through the conduct of problem-focused research that is combined with education and extension of knowledge to those in need of solutions. These activities address critical national, regional, and multi-state agricultural issues, priorities, or problems. Integrated Programs hold the greatest potential to produce and disseminate knowledge and technology directly to end users while providing for educational opportunities to assure agricultural expertise in future generations. See individual program Requests for Applications for additional information about the topics. SEVERAL PROGRAMS ARE FUNDED UNDER CFDA 10.303. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES ARE AS FOLLOWS: (1) Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program: See RFA for priority areas. (2) Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program: National Integrated Food Safety Initiative The purpose of the National Integrated Food Safety Initiative is to support food safety projects that demonstrate an integrated approach to solving problems in applied food safety research, education, or extension. Various models for integration of applied research, education, and extension will be considered for funding. Applications describing multi-state, multi-institutional, multidisciplinary, and multifunctional activities (and combinations thereof) are encouraged. Applicants are strongly encouraged to address at least two of the three functional areas of research, education, and extension (i.e., research and extension, research and education, or extension and education). (3) Integrated Research, Education, And Extension Competitive Grants Program: \(6) Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program: Methyl Bromide Transitions Program The goal of the Methyl Bromide Transitions (MBT) program is to support the discovery and implementation of practical pest management alternatives to methyl bromide uses or minimize methyl bromide emissions for which the United States is requesting critical use exemptions. The program is focused on integrated commercial or field scale research that targets short- to medium-term solutions. (7) Integrated Organic Program The purpose of the Integrated Organic Program is to solve critical organic agriculture issues, priorities, or problems through the integration of research, education, and extension activities. The Organic Transitions Program (ORG) funds the development and implementation of research, extension, and higher education programs to improve the competitiveness of organic producers and producers who are adopting organic practices. Funding opportunities for the ORG Program is included in the same Request for Applications (RFA) as the Organic Research and Extension Initiative (OREI). PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT FUND START UP BUSINESSES. (8) Regional Rural Development Centers (RRDCs): The RRDCs play a unique role in USDA's service to rural America. They link the research and educational outreach capacity of the nation's public universities with communities, local decision makers, entrepreneurs, families, and farmers and ranchers to help address a wide range of development issues. They collaborate on national issues that span regions-like e-commerce, the changing interface between rural, suburban, and urban places, and workforce quality and jobs creation. Each tailors programs to address particular needs in its region.

This study investigates the effects of cover crops and soil characteristics on the novel interactions among the fungus, Metarhizium, an endemic insect pathogen and plant-protective endophyte with crops and cover crops in an organic agronomic cropping system. Objectives include: 1) characterize Metarhizium isolates from on-going organic research-station and on-farm experiments; 2) determine the ability of endemic isolates to form endophytic relationships with cash crops and selected cover crops; 3) determine effects of endophytic Metarhizium in a model system of corn, black cutworm; and Cochliobolus heterostrophus, the causal agent of southern corn leaf blight; and 4) determine the effect of endophytic Metarhizium on the expression of key defense genes that protect plants from crop pests and diseases. 2016-06180: Decision Support to Quantify GHG Mitigation and Ecosystem Services from Organic Production Systems. This project will address ORG Program Priority by improving technologies and tools to document and optimize the environmental services and climate change mitigation ability of organic farming systems. The team will improve two state-of-the-art decision support systems (COMET-Farm and the Cool Farm Tool) for quantifying the impacts of land use and management practices on soil C and greenhouse gas â€“GHG- emissions from agricultural systems at the farm-scale. These improved decision support systems will enable the industry to deliver improved storytelling about organic beyond the label and help to identify opportunity areas for working with farmers to improve both productivity and profitability as well as deliver on corporate commitments to meet GHG reduction goals. 2016-06197: Ensuring the best practical use of microbe-containing crop biostimulants/biofertilizers among (transitional)-organic vegetable growers. The long-term goal of this project is to create resources, tangible and human, ensuring the best practical use of Microbe-containing biostimulants and biofertilizers (MC BSs/BFs) among (transitional)-organic vegetable growers. The team will: a) complete stakeholder-focused experiments on farms and research stations, b) expand and strengthen a growing network of farmers and other professionals while evaluating and reporting on product performance, and c) establish, share, and help stakeholders implement core components of practical guidelines for using MC BSs/BFs during (transitional-)organic vegetable production. 2016-06199: The Development of an Organic Crop Budgeting Tool to Help Advise Producers. Budgets are one of the most important tools producers use when deciding on which crops to grow. Objective in this project is to determine the production practices of organic producers, collect price information about the needed inputs, develop a crop budgeting tool, and produce organic crop budgets so that the profitability of organic crops can be estimated for a producer. This contribution is significant because the team is developing a regionalized database of inputs and prices for organic crop production that doesnâ€™t currently exist and integrating this database into an organic crop budgeting tool that will make it significantly easier for producers and Extension personnel to estimate organic profitability. 2016-06181: Developing advanced perennial legume-grass mixtures harvested as stored feeds to improve herd productivity and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in organic dairies in the Northeast. This project will fill knowledge gaps by advancing the scientific understanding about how potential changes in species persistence and forage botanical composition in various legume-grass mixtures across multiple years affect forage quality and stored feed fermentation characteristics and, consequently, milk production and greenhouse gases emissions when fed to organic dairy cows. The team will partner with three organic dairy farmers in the Northeast who will set up demonstration plots and coordinate field days, thus becoming peer leaders in their rural communities. (H) Regional Rural Development Centers For Fiscal Year (FY) 2016: Examples of funded projects are: 1. Location 1: Focused on four priority areas: building a 21st century economy; sustainable communities; leadership development and civic engagement; and community health and wellness. 2.

(G) Organic Transition-Risk Assessment aka Organic Transition Program (ORG); and NOTE: Also see CFDA 10.307 OREI 2017-03405: Going underground: Perennial and Annual Organic Transition Systems to Optimize Soil Health, Carbon Sequestration, and Profitability Production. Farmers interested in transitioning from conventional to organic systems are faced with unique challenges regarding weed control, fertility, improving soil health, and generating income during the transition period. Many transition systems rely on tillage to control weeds and annual crop rotations, which have been associated with soil carbon (C) loss. Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG) is a cool-season grass that is being bred for increased seed yields to become the first perennial grain crop. IWG could help producers overcome the challenges of organic transition, while also simplifying management, reducing tillage-associated C emissions, and improving soil health relative to annual crop-based organic transitions. This study will compare six organic transition systems that include IWG, summer and winter annuals, perennial legumes, and systems with various combinations of grain, forage, and cover crops. 2017-03371: Facilitating improved environmental and soil quality through increased biodiversity and crop/livestock integration on organic farms. Agricultural systems that restore biodiversity improve sustainability and lower dependence on external inputs, which is vital in organic production. The focus of this project is to investigate the effects of integration of cover crops and livestock grazing on soil quality and crop yield. Results will be utilized in the development of educational programs on organic crops, livestock and soil health through university curriculum development, courses on organic principles and practice, open-source learning modules, and producer outreach. The educational programming will improve understanding of organic principles by students who are both todayâ€™s consumers and tomorrowâ€™s farmers and future drivers of agricultural policies and practices. Intermediate and long-term outcomes include producer adoption of practices increasing on-farm biodiversity, leading to greater economic and environmental stability in organic production. 2017-03378: Development of effective biological control of fire blight for the Eastern United States. Fire blight is a devastating disease of apples and pears. The termination of antibiotics in organic production requires alternative management options. Biological control represents an important group of organic management tools. Yet, none of the available biocontrols has provided consistent, high level of control against fire blight under humid climates in the Eastern U.S. This study will perform the first comprehensive search and testing for bacterial and fungal biocontrol strains isolated from apple stigmas under humid climate in Eastern U.S. Using a combined approach of antibiosis screen, crab apple bioassay, and metagenomics, the research team will identify microorganisms with antimicrobial producing abilities and preemptive exclusion properties. 2017-03409: An ecological approach to disease risk management on organic poultry farms. Outdoor poultry are exposed to parasites and pathogens in the soil, or vectored by wild birds. These infections endanger animal and human health. There have been very few holistic studies of factors that make organic poultry farms susceptible or resistant to parasite/pathogen invasion. Growersâ€™ inability to predict and manage these risks forms a major barrier to organic transition. This study will: (1) Measure frequencies of poultry contact with wild birds and soil; (2) Survey pathogen and parasite communities within on-farm wild bird populations, while characterizing transmission routes between wild and domesticated birds; and (3) Characterize properties of soil that affect persistence of fecal-borne poultry parasites and pathogens. 2017-03389: Introducing organic to producers of grain-only and pasture-grain wheat cropping systems of northern Texas. Organic agriculture is nearly absent in the northern Southern Great Plains region of Texas, despite large demand for organic products that could be produced there and low producer incomes. The team proposes to utilize a systems approach to directly compare conventional grain-only and pasture-grain wheat systems to transitional organic systems with management customized to the region. The experiment will occur at a large field scale, which is the only way to provide results directly transferrable to regional stakeholders. We will quantify system management impacts on crop and animal performance; soil microbial properties, nutrient, greenhouse gas emission, and moisture dynamics; and economic outcomes.

Rapid cycle radio frequency technology for wood packaging materials used in international trade to replace methyl bromide for QPS purposes. This award for $499,979 will expedite broad-scale adoption of radio frequency (RF) technology as a sustainable, economically competitive solution to replace methyl bromide for treatment of wood packaging materials used in international trade, which was recently approved under International Standard of Phytosanitary Measures No. 15 (ISPM-15). 2. IPM for the Ham Mite using Alternatives to Methyl Bromide. This award for $499,713 will develop, test for efficacy and conduct pilot or small scale field trials of tools for integrated pest management (IPM) of southern dry cured hams with a focus on the ham mite. 3. Addressing gaps of current fumigants and advancing non-fumigant IPM solutions to manage soilborne pests in tomato production systems. The overall goal of this $486,842 project is to develop an arsenal of integrated approaches to manage soilborne diseases and weeds for a diverse range of farmers who farm a few to hundreds of acres. 4. Integrated Management of Fusarium Wilt, Nematode and Weed Complex using Methyl Bromide Alternatives in Watermelon Production System. The goal of this $375,695 project is to develop, optimize, and integrate current methyl bromide alternatives with non-fumigant nematicides and pre-plant herbicides to improve Fusarium wilt, root-knot nematode, and nutsedge management in watermelon plasticulture system in Georgia and Florida. (G) Organic Transition-Risk Assessment aka Organic Transition Program (ORG): NOTE: Also see CFDA 10.307 OREI 2018-03547: Overcoming barriers to transitioning small ruminants to organic production: Effects of feeding birdsfoot trefoil on parasite control, nutritional status and profitability. In organic production systems, production of small ruminant livestock can be limited by gastrointestinal nematode infections. Forages containing certain tannins have anthelmintic properties, but the majority of research into this area has focused on forages grown in warm climates. The Kotcon research group has shown that birdsfoot trefoil has promise for use as an anthelmintic forage, but additional research will be required to identify birdsfoot trefoil varieties and management practices that will optimize the anthelmintic effect. This project focuses on both animal pathology and agronomic field trials and will include research conducted on various scales, both on- and off-farm. Extensive outreach efforts are planned as part of the project to disseminate relevant findings to producers. 2018-03535: Breaking Down the Barriers to Organic No-Till Soybean and Dry Bean Production Through Improved White Mold Management. White mold is a devastating disease affecting dry edible bean and soybean, as well as other important crops. The Pethybridge team has collected preliminary evidence showing that cultivation of no-till roller-crimped cereal rye can be suppressive of both weeds (another serious problem in organic crop production) and white mold disease. However, the planned future project will further explore the integrated effects of cereal rye cover crops on both weeds and white mold. One concern is that the large amounts of cereal rye residue required for optimal weed suppression may create an environment conducive to white mold infection. Farmer-to-farmer extension activities, as well as on-farm demonstrations are planned as outreach efforts to disseminate results. 2018-03548: Optimization of bacteriophage for management of fireblight disease. Fire blight is a very serious and widespread bacterial disease that infects fruit trees, especially apple trees. Organic options for controlling this disease are limited. This project will explore a novel approach toward controlling this devastating disease. This research will investigate using a bacteriophage for fire blight control, with exploration into formulation and application developments to increase efficacy. Large-scale field testing will ensure applicability of results. Project results will be shared with producers using a variety of outreach and education approaches, including demonstration plots. 2018-03574: Decision support tool to optimize establishment and management of alfalfa as trap crop in organic strawberry productions. In California, annual strawberry production value exceeds $1.8 billion and is equivalent to over 80% of the national production. A complex of Lygus species is a major pest on strawberry, especially in organic productions. Compared to strawberry, alfalfa is a highly preferred host for Lygus. The innovative component of this project is that establishment of an alfalfa-based trap crop at the perimeter of organic strawberry fields is combined with an optimized combination of vacuuming, strip cutting, and releases of natural enemies to suppress Lygus populations in the alfalfa trap. The project focus is to simultaneously optimize: 1) alfalfa-based trap crop establishment (not establish more alfalfa trap crop than is needed, and 2) required management efforts (identify when management is needed and also identify the most feasible and cost-effective combination of vacuuming, strip cutting, and releases of natural enemies). 2018-03523: Manure and Pasture Management to Reduce Swine Parasites in Organic Pastured Pork Production. Managing swine intestinal parasites continues to be an obstacle for organic pig farmers because there is a lack of organically-approved options for controlling parasites. The purpose of this project is to explore manure and pasture management strategies that would control swine parasites by reducing parasite contamination and transmission in organic pig production. Specific objections are to: 1) evaluate parasite pressures on organic pig farms, 2) determine effectiveness of manure composting on eliminating swine parasites and its underlying mechanisms, 3) assess a novel approach to swine parasite control in pastures via biofumigation, and 4) determine effects of grazing rapeseed by organic pigs on reducing swine parasite contamination in pastures.

Fiscal Year 2019 Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 â€“ ACTIVE Programs: (F) Methyl Bromide Transition Program (MBT) Integrated Research, Education, and Extension Competitive Grants Program-Methyl Bromide Transition: The National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) anticipates finalizing the competitive awards by September 30, 2019. For the FY 2019 award cycle, NIFA anticipates making awards totaling $1,891,191. The following projects were recommended for funding: 1. In the home stretch: implementation and grower adoption of non-fumigant nematicides in plasticulture. The overall goal of this $234,495 project is to improve grower adoption of non-fumigant nematicides as a component of an integrated pest management strategy in Florida strawberry and vegetables. 2. Evaluating Vacuum And Steam Heat As A Methyl Bromide Alternate Phase II Control Of Pinewood Nematode In Pine And Oak Wilt In White Oak Logs. The overall goal of this $491,725 project is to replace methyl bromide fumigation of exported and imported logs with heat treatment based on steam and vacuum. The benefit of MB treatment replacement with vacuum and steam would apply and extend to both industry and regulators in the international community at large. 3. Ethanedinitrile (EDN) as an alternative fumigant for US log exports. The overall goal of this $500,000 project is to combine research on EDN as a log fumigant, engagement with commercial fumigators to perform experimental trials, and economic analyses that facilitate the use of EDN in place of MB for log exports. The long-term goal is to end or significantly reduce the use of MB for log exports. 4. Site-specific soil pest management using crop rotation and a needs-based variable rate fumigation strategy. The overall goal of this $156,110 integrated research and extension project is to develop efficient control of soilborne pathogens by developing a multi-tactic soilborne disease management plan. 5. Developing Sustainable and Profitable Tools for Producing Tomato in Fields Infested with Soilborne Pathogens, Nematodes, and Weeds. The overall goal of this $508,861 project is to develop sustainable management practices for control of southern root-knot nematode (RKN; Meloidogyne incognita), bacterial wilt (caused by Ralstonia solanacearum), southern blight (caused by Athelia rolfsii), and weeds in tomato production systems in Georgia and South Carolina. (G) Organic Transition-Risk Assessment aka Organic Transition Program (ORG): NOTE: Also see CFDA 10.307 OREI 2019-03516: Balancing soil nutrition for sustainable weed and pest-insect management Manure fertilizers bring many benefits for plant and soil health. However, because manure is not composed with an ideal balance of macro/micronutrients for crops, meeting the needs for nitrogen can lead to accumulations of surplus phosphorous. Nutrient imbalances, in turn, may exacerbate weed and insect pest pressure, bringing unexpected and unwelcome management costs to growers. The research proposes to help transitioning organic farmers use fertility inputs to achieve balanced soil nutrition that maximizes profitability and optimizes pest management. 2019-03512: Smart Tillage to Reduce N2O Emission from Organic Agriculture The reliance of grain and forage organic production on tillage, manure and cover crops to control weeds and nutrient supply creates challenges to control nitrous oxide (N2O) emission and nitrogen (N) leaching. Prior research shows that (N2O) emission is high plowing legume cover crops or co-locating them with manure, and revealed that peak N2O emission are from denitrification and driven by hypoxic conditions caused by high respiration rates. The high availability of nitrate that drives denitrification losses also causes leaching. Organic agriculture and agriculture in general must control these harmful N losses. The tea proposes a smart tillage to creatively regulate the distribution and concentration of cover crop residues and manure residues in the plow layer. N2O emissions and N leaching will be controlled under the proposed system. 2019-03522: Intensive annual vs. perennial forage cropping strategies to build soil health and nitrogen efficiency in transitioning tomato systems While the importance of building soil fertility during the organic transition period is well known, this task can be particularly difficult in cropping systems with high nitrogen (N)-demanding crops like tomato. Northern California growers produce 99% of the nationâ€™s organic processing tomatoes, and have expressed a need for information on soil health and N management during the transition period. To fill this need, two 3-year cropping system strategies will be compared: 1) an intensive annual rotation of sudangrass-corn silage-garbanzo with winter cover crops and compost application, and 2) a perennial forage alfalfa+orchardgrass. 2019-03518: Evaluation of integrated bacterial disease management options for organic onion production in southeastern and northcentral United States Center rot has emerged as a chronic problem in number of onion growing regions (conventional and organic) in the United States including Georgia and Michigan, and has been responsible for significant pre and post-harvest losses in yield and quality. The primary emphasis of the proposed project is to advance technologies and outreach to promote the transition to organic onion production in two productive regions, southern and northcentral U.S. This integrated approach focuses on minimizing inoculum sources (weeds, thrips) through microbial control, weed management, and biological control provisioning to form an environmentally sound package for organic onion growers. 2019-03508: Research and Outreach to Support Transitioning to Organic Cotton Production in Central and Gulf Coast Texas The proposal directly addresses the ORG program priority #1: understanding cover crops, reduced or conservation tillage on fertility, ecosystem services, GHG mitigation, weed dynamics. There is a growing consumer and corporate demand for organic cotton and several conventional growers have attempted to transition to organic cotton production to take advantage of the price premiums and demand. However, there are a number of barriers that limit organic cotton production, particularly in the Central and Gulf Coast Texas regions. The goal of this project is to address these barriers through research and outreach activities.
