| Abstract/Contents: | "The Home and Garden Information Center is a unique program nationally, initiated by the Maryland Cooperative Extension Service, that provides information on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and Environmental Horticulture topics statewide over a toll free telephone number. Prerecorded information is available 24 hours a day and Horticulture Consultants are available to discuss caller questions 5 days a week. Since 1992, the Center has handled approximatly 152,000 caller inquiries. Survey data from 1994 indicate 49% of the callers asked questions that required an IPM solution. Of the callers that received IPM solutions to their problems, 58% utilized recommended pesticides in solving their problem and 42% of the callers learned that they didn't need a pesticide to solve their problem. In addition to phone consultations the Center staff has produced over 70 fact sheets and 250 prerecorded messages that offer help diagnostic keys that enable the general public to use the latest IPM approaches to pest management. Promotion of IPM solutions includes live broadcasts on TV, and radio as well as newspaper interviews." |
