Ronda coordinates the Idaho IR-4 program with the National IR-4 Headquarters and conducts pesticide residue research trials for new potential pesticide registrations. Her purpose is to work with farmers, agricultural scientists and extension personnel to carry out research and petition the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to obtain tolerances for specific pesticide uses needed by minor crop producers. She serves as the Idaho State Liaison Representative for national pest management programs.
It is her responsibility to deliver an Information Network which disseminates and coordinates pesticide and pest management information with growers, research and extension personnel and state and federal government agencies, in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest. Idaho Pest Management Center information is coordinated with
USDA/CSREES Western IPM Center. She also works on the development of the
IPM (Integrated Pest Management) Planning Tool for the OnePlan, a conservation based farm planning program with the USDA/NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service).
