Cucurbit IPM on Farm Demonstrations
Get PDFIPM practices in cucurbits were demonstrated at three different farms and on 13 fields (crops included pumpkins, zucchini, cantaloupe, squash, cucumbers, and watermelon). For each field/crop, data on pest levels, pesticide use, insect infestation and damage at harvest were collected. Each field was scouted weekly for striped cucumber beetle, squash bugs and aphids, traps were placed to monitor for squash vine borer, and samples were taken weekly of any possible diseases and brought to Dr. Frank Hay of the Plant Pathology and Plant-‐Microbe Biology Section for identification. Growers received weekly scouting reports and treatment recommendations. For all three farms the growers reported that having someone scout their cucurbits was extremely helpful and problems were identify much earlier than in previous years
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
2018 New York Sweet Corn Pheromone Trap Network (SCPTN)
Get PDFNYS IPM Type: Project ReportFor 24 years, the Sweet Corn Pheromone Trap Network has been monitoring the flight of three important insect pests of sweet corn, European corn borer, corn earworm, fall armyworm, and more recently, 2010, Western bean cutworm. These insects cause damage to sweet corn ears in their larval stage. These pests are moths in their adult stage and can be monitored using traps baited with pheromone lures specific for each species. Traps are placed near sweet corn fields to monitor moth flights. The weekly trap catch information allows growers, consultants, Cooperative Extension and vegetable processor field staff to track the flights and make informed decisions about when sweet corn fields need to be scouted or treated with an insecticide. This project was funded in part by in-kind contributions from growers and consultants who host and check traps
Pepper IPM on Farm Demonstrations
No full textNYS IPM Type: Project ReportIPM practices in peppers were demonstrated at three different farms this year. For each farm, data on pest levels, pesticide use, and damage at harvest were collected. Each field was scouted weekly for any insect pests including aphids, thrips, and mites. Traps were placed to monitor for European corn borer, and samples were taken weekly of any possible diseases and brought to the Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology Section for identification. Growers received weekly scouting reports and treatment recommendations. For all three farms the growers reported that having someone scout their peppers was extremely helpful and problems were identified much earlier than in previous years. The overall EIQ (Environmental Impact Quotient) was determined for each farm
Spotted Wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, infestation risk to tomatoes
Get PDFSpotted Wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii, an invasive fruit fly from Japan, appeared in NY in 2011 and has become of major concern to small fruit growers. Unlike other fruit flies, it lays eggs in intact fruit prior to harvest. Current pesticide control measures target the adult but there is great risk of developing resistance; resistance has already been reported on the West Coast. Known hosts of SWD include soft skinned fruit like raspberries and blueberries. Even though the wild host range of SWD includes nightshades (Solanum spp.) no research had been conducted to evaluate the threat of SWD to tomatoes, Solanum lycopersicum

Dry Bean IPM on Farm Demonstrations 2017
Get PDFNYS IPM Type: Project ReportIPM practices in dry beans were demonstrated at three different fields on two farms this year. For each farm, data on pest levels, pesticide use, and damage at harvest were collected. Each field was scouted weekly for insect and disease pests. Disease samples were brought to Cornell’s Plant Disease Diagnostic Clinic for identification. Growers received weekly scouting reports and treatment recommendations. At the end of the season a harvest evaluation was conducted. The overall EIQ (Environmental Impact Quotient) for each farm was also calculated. For all three fields the growers reported that having someone scout their dry beans was extremely helpful and that pests they were unaware of were identified and treated
The Magnitude and Distribution of Western Bean Cutworm, and the Risk to Dry Beans
Get PDFNYS IPM Type: Project ReportWestern bean cutworm (WBC) moth counts were monitored in traps at 13 dry bean fields in Western NY in 2017. Traps were located in Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Wyoming, and Steuben counties. Ten of the 13 sites were the same as in 2016 and three sites were new. Of the ten repeat sites 8 saw a decrease in WBC trap catches from the previous year. Though the overall WBC trap counts from all of NY, which includes data from the field corn, sweet corn and dry bean trapping networks (101 total traps), were up from 2016, the average trap catch at the 13 dry bean sites was down. There was a 34% decrease in trap catch from 2016 (173 average moths) to 2017 (114 average moths) for the 13 dry bean sites. Of the 13 traps, six exceeded the 100-moth threshold at which time scouting is recommended. One of the highest trap counts this year came from one of the new sites, Covington in Wyoming county, and this was also the only site of the 13 at which pod damage was observed
