Search ISHS Acta Horticulturae 246: International Symposium on Protected Cultivation of Ornamentals in Mild Winter Climates POSSIBILITY OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT IN GERBERA CROPS Authors: Abstract: The first objective of this work is to control the american leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii Burgess (Dipt: Agromyzidae) on gerbera cut flower culture. L trifolii is a new species in our Region. It appeared in 1981. In 1985 it became a general pest, extending its influence to other crops. It caused panic among growers due to the resistance it showed to all pesticides commonly used. In 1986, an assay on Gerbera in an experimental greenhouse was conducted. The aim was to check for the presence of any local parasites potentially controlling this new pest. Results were highly satisfactory. Several parasites turned up. Diglyphus isaea (Walker) (Hym. Eulophidae) appeared to be the most effective at maintaining the pest under control. All along the year there was no need to apply any insecticide or acaricide treatment. In commercial greenhouses, at least one treatment is applied weekly to the crop. A second assay, in a commercial crop is been going on since the end of 1987. This one is being used to confirm the performance of D isaea , and to elucidate how to introduce the mecanisms of integrated control to the traditional crop management techniques.

Introduction Divisions News Events ... Visitors Book PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME Nematodes Severe decline of 5-year-old commercial Arabica coffee trees (cv. Caturra) was first reported in 1999 in the Bushbuckridge area of the Northern Province. An investigation by Piet Willers and Schalk Schoeman of the ARC-ITSC revealed that the trees had been infected by the Meloidogyne incognita or rootknot nematode. This is the first report of M. incognita on coffee in South Africa. This report was published in the April 2000 issue of the Institute's quarterly magazine, Neltropika .

Fruit RABBITEYE BLUEBERRY AID FOR FRUIT SET IN POOR POLLINATION SITUATIONS Gerard Krewer and D. Scott NeSmith, Horticulturists Response Material Timing Rate of Material Remarks Increase fruit set due to poor pollination. Gibberellic acid - ProGibb 4% liquid concentrate or GibGro 4 LS or Gibbex 4% First application: When at least 40-50% of the blooms are open. About 10% of the flower petals should have fallen. Second application: 10-18 days later. 24-32 oz./acre (4% gibberellic acid) or 24-32 grams gibberellic acid/acre applied twice. Total of 48-64 oz./acre in most cases. 40 gal. water/acre. Add surfactant. If solution is alkaline (pH greater than 8.0), lower the pH with a buffering agent. Apply at night or during slow drying conditions Additional Considerations and Precautions for Using Gibberellic Acid Gibberellic acid is expensive, but has been effective in increasing fruit set due to poor pollination. Poor pollination can be the result of cultivars not blooming together, cultivars which have low pollen compatibility, low bee activity, high night temperatures during bloom, excessively rainy weather during bloom, and maybe damage to the blooms from insects such as thrips.

Invited but did not attend (Bob Boesch, Hi DOA), Ron Mau (CTAHR). 1. NATIONAL PESTICIDE INFORMATION. Cathy Tarutani did an on-line demonstration of pesticide information available on the Internet. The focus of the presentation was the National State Pesticide Information Retrieval System (NSPIRS). Other web sites discussed and demonstrated were the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (www.cdpr.ca.gov), U.S. EPA Office of Pesticide Programs (www.epa.gov/pesticides) Pesticide Product Information System (PPIS) via CDPR, Western Region Pest Management Center (www.wrpmc.ucdavis.edu) and Pesticide Action Network (PAN) Pesticide Database (www.pesticideinfo.org). There was a general discussion about pesticide registration, regulation and labeling. There may be a need to develop a mechanism to provide information from NSPIRS, available only by paid subscription, to APPMIN participants. 2. INTRODUCTIONS and COMMUNICATIONS.

C W e currently have 16 faculty, three joint appointees and 12 adjunct professors. The major research areas within the Department are morphology and systematics, pest management (especially of forage, greenhouse, vegetable and livestock insects), biological control, ecology, evolutionary biology and behavior, sociobiology, medical and veterinary entomology, pathology, apiculture, toxicology and physiology. T he Department's teaching program offers training for undergraduate and graduate students.

GWSS- A Partial Host List by Phil A. Phillips, PhD.,BCE,CCA IPM utilization in row crops would be increased significantly if there was more use of monitoring techniques for pest and beneficial species. Tree crop growers and their PCA’s have successfully utilized monitoring systems in their IPM programs for many years. However, many row crop growers have seen very little utility in monitoring systems. Unlike tree crops, the rapid turn-around time (generally only 60-120 days from planting to harvest) and very low threshold of tolerance for damage (especially for aesthetic blemishes) has created in growers and their PCA’s a sense of urgency and the necessity to use pesticides in more of a prophylactic or preventative strategy than in a curative or reduction fashion. In reality, there are many opportunities in row crops to implement monitoring techniques. Detection devices such as sticky traps or bands and pheromone traps can alert growers to pest populations migrating into new fields from adjacent crops. In-field pest populations generally develop at the same rate as tree crop pest populations and allow ample time for monitoring and decision making to take place. This can be accomplished by a number of techniques including timed-search sampling, whole plant samples, beating trays, stationary trays and traps.
