We received notice on Friday 8/2, that 3 formulations of bifenthrin are now labeled for use in NJ peaches, nectarines and apples for control of brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB). This is the best product we have for BMSB, and although it is late in the season, growers should find it very useful. There is a 14 day PHI, with 30 days between applications. Do not apply more than .5 lb a.i. per acre per year.

We have been conducting numerous insecticide trials at RAREC against BMSB in peaches (Encore variety). In particular, we are evaluating the efficacy of a a single insecticide sprayed on a 10 day schedule to see if we can identify differences in effectiveness of selected insecticides throughout the season. I understand that growers will not (and should not) spray the same chemical throughout the season but it helps to isolate the effect each chemical. This is complimented by laboratory trials using field collected bugs. Because of limitations in the number of applications for certain chemicals I feel that this is an important component to developing IPM programs in NJ. We have evaluated Lannate LV, Bifenture (Sect 18 only), Bifenture+Assail (Sect 18 only), Assail+Perm-Up, Voliam Xpress, Voliam Flexi, Danitol, Endigo and Closer. Closer is a new neo-nicotinoid like compound (IRAC Class 4C) from Dow AgroSciences that is effective against green peach aphid. Because of its potential importance as a resistance management tool, we included this in the evaluation.
Our results thus far are interesting. We evaluate 3 ways:
Please keep in mind that the BMSB pressure at RAREC is very high! Always follow label instructions.
