4. Consider the plant materials you grow or maintain. Then consider situations over the last year where you had difficulty managing diseases, pests, or weeds. For all three areas, list the top three situations where your product arsenal was limited. Be as specific as possible; for example, “Japanese beetle on rose” or “Rhizoctonia wilt on impatiens seedlings”. Then put a ‘√’ or ‘X’ for each type of plant material where this issue occurs in your operation:

	Type of Plant Materials

6. Please comment about other needs not covered above:

7. Please choose one of the following:

I need crop safety (phytotoxicity) data more than efficacy data

I need efficacy data more than crop safety data

I need crop safety data and efficacy data equally

8. Protecting beneficial organisms including pollinators is a key crop production strategy. Please check all methods below that you currently use:

Apply crop protection tools when beneficial organisms are not present
Grow crops without pollinator attractive flowers
Apply only biopesticides
Scout for pests and disease hot spots and apply to only those areas
Apply best tool possible for crop situation knowing that some beneficial organisms may be harmed
Apply foliar tools when they offer greater safety than systemic tools
Grow flowering plants in greenhouses
Apply biorational tools
Use products without pollinator toxicity
Apply the optimal rate to manage pests or diseases without harming pollinators and other beneficial organisms
Apply systemic tools when they offer greater safety than foliar tools
