Author Instructions and Reference Guide for IPM Growers Guides

Jennifer Gillett and Denise Thomas, IPM Florida

Author Instructions:

The attached templates were developed for you to easily, “fill in the blanks.” Please type directly onto the Microsoft Word document and submit completed forms & photographs via email to the Chapter Editor.

Text Guidelines: The author templates indicate the number of character with spaces (cws) and bullets that are appropriate for that section. Less is fine! To determine the number of characters you are using (Microsoft Word), go to the Tools bar at the top of the screen. Select Word Count and then look under Characters with Spaces.

Measurements: Standard imperial measurements, eg. (1/8 inch). For minute insects and mites emphasize that they can be seen only with a hand lens or give a common comparison for size, i.e. “five phytoseiid mites fit on a single pinhead.” In the Pest Management section, actual size line drawings of the pest may be beneficial to growers. Have only one artist make the drawings for all the pests so that the look is consistent.

Abbreviations for Time: Use the following abbreviations for time: h (hour), min (minute), s (second), yr (year), mo (month), wk (week), d (day). Do not add "s" to create plurals (e.g., wks).

Photos: Photos must be high resolution. They can be scanned or digital JPEG or TIFF files. These photos may be used in the IPM growers guide, IPM pocket field guide, and IPM grower’s guide screen saver. Please send a description of the photo, and photography credits in the word document as well. Slides can be transferred into digital format and returned to you. We would prefer to include photographs that have not been circulated through IFAS literature whenever possible.

Please submit completed template forms & photographs to the Chapter Editor.
