Workgroup Information Integrated Pest Management of Glassy Winged Sharpshooters and the Diseases they Vector
Summary	Provides a mechanism by which individuals involved in GWSS/PD research and extension can learn about and discuss research and extension programs of participating scientists and discuss possible collaboration / coordination of such programs. Serves as a clearinghouse for RFPs dealing with GWSS and Xylella diseases. Develop GWSS Pest Management Guidelines for citrus, almonds, nurseries, and grapes and a GWSS Pest Note for homeowners.
