Fruit IPM Report: Week Ending 9/13/13

In this report:

  • Blueberry
  • Apple
    Brown Marmorated Stink Bug:
    Most of the BMSB that are being captured are adults. Since many crops have already been harvested, apples, particularly late season apples are being exposed to the full onslaught of adult BMSB movement. Be particularly aware of fruit bordering soybeans and woodlands. Late season injury can come on fast, and some injury is not apparent until several weeks after picking.

    Keep fresh insecticide applied to the trees, particularly on border rows and end trees. Effective insecticides along with the (PHI) include: Baythroid (7), Belay (7), Danitol (14), Leverage (7), Mustang (14), Brigade/Bifenture (14) (section 18), and Scorpion/Venom (3) (section 18). Those listed in bold are some of the best materials.

Befenthrin Labeled for Tree Fruit

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.
