The USDA-Cooperative Extension Service has utilized a variety of educational techniques to enhance the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology by cotton producers across the United States. Professional Extension educators have made extensive use of result demonstrations, field scouting programs, field days/tours, electronic and print media and computer technology during the past decade to achieve program objectives. This educational effort has made a significant contribution to the "change" that is occurring in the philosophy and practice of pest control by cotton producers. A survey of Extension IPM cotton program staff was utilized to determine the use of proven Extension educational techniques in accomplishing our mission to: "provide assistance and counselling to local groups in appraising resources for capability of improvements in agriculture..." (Smith-Lever Act 1914, Section 8). In this instance, improvements in agriculture accrue with the implementation of a spectrum of pest suppressive techniques used with predictable economic, ecological and sociological consequences.
