Pepper Weevil Trap Catch Map
Rutgers Cooperative Extension IPM personnel are currently deploying blacklight trap and insect pheromone trap networks throughout the state. Statewide sampling will commence shortly, and as soon as target pests begin to appear, insect data will be published in the Plant and Pest Advisory and on the NJAES website @ http://tinyurl.com/njaes-ipm-maps
Pest populations of European corn borer (ECB), corn earworm (CEW) and brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) from blacklight samples will be posted in table and in map format. Additionally, adult CEW populations from a pheromone network in southern NJ will be posted in both formats. Pepper weevil trap catches from southern NJ will be posted in map format. Beet armyworm (BAW) adult populations from a southern NJ pheromone network will be posted in table form beginning in mid-July.

Understanding Combination Insecticide Products
When using blended products:
- Know the pest that you need to control.
- Use an appropriate insecticide that will do the job with as little negative impact as possible.
- Avoid broad spectrum insecticides when possible.
- Avoid using redundant materials.
Over the past decade, the number of vegetable insecticides (both commercial products and insecticide classes) has increased significantly. Included in these are a number of materials with novel modes of action (MOA), and high degrees of pest specificity. For example, some newer materials have efficacy against caterpillars only, while others may control caterpillars and some fly larvae. Other examples are detailed in the chart, Combination Insecticide Products for Commercial Vegetable Crops. This article clarifies the options in the Commercial Vegetable Recommendations so that growers may make more informed choices as to the most useful product for specific pests. [Read more…]
