Founding of a Grower-based Weather/Pest Information Network to Aid IPM Adoption
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1966)This project had the following four goals: 1) Establish 6 local centers for weather data collection from existing instruments and from instruments to be purchased in the future by the fruit and vegetable industries with ... -
Strategies for the Biological Control of Root Diseases in Hydroponically-Grown Vegetables
(1997)Hydroponic plant production has been increasing worldwide in recent years. One of the continuing challenges of hydroponics is to keep the microbial load of the system as low as possible through sterilization and disinfestation ... -
Development of an Action Threshold and Management Strategies for Mirid Bugs on Apples
(1997)Mullein plant bug (MPB) has been described as having a Jekyll and Hyde personality, switching from being a damaging fruit-feeder one season to a beneficial predator the next. The mechanism for this switching behavior is ... -
Screening of Commercial Processing Type Sweet Corn for Resistance to European Corn Borer and Other Pests

(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)Oriental beetle grubs are serious pests of turf grasses and nursery stock. Root feeding larvae have caused severe damage to containerized and field grown nursery stock in Suffolk County. The adult beetles, however, are ... -
Thrips Biological Control in a Retail Greenhouse
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)In the spring of 1996 and 1997 a demonstration of the use of Neoseiulus cucumeris for control of WFT in a retail greenhouse was funded by the New York State IPM Program. -
Biological Control of Spider Mites in Long Island Vineyards
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)The mite Typhlodromus pyri can, where it is conserved, provide complete biological control of European red mite. We released T. pyri into vineyards on Long Island in 1996 and into an additional two vineyards in 1997. ... -
Substituting Water for Herbicides: Interactions of Cover Crop Extent and Irrigation in New York Vineyards
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)Grape growers are very concerned with vineyard floor management (cover crops and weed control). Uncontrolled weeds consume limited soil water, compete for mineral nutrients and greatly reduce yield. They also can contaminate ... -
Branching Out, An Integrated Pest Management Newsletter for Trees and Shrubs
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)Branching Out is a newsletter prepared by faculty and staff in Cornell’s Department of Plant Pathology. It is published biweekly from April through June and triweekly from July through September. -
NEWA (Northeast Weather Association) 1997: A Year In Review
(1997)1. Keep the NEWA electronic weather network operational for the 1997 growing season. 2. Add new forecasting models as they become available. 3. Solicit new members for NEWA from among fruit, vegetable, and other growers. ... -
Evaluation of Temperature on Searching Ability and Parasitism Rates of Muscidifurax raptorellus and Muscidifurax raptor in Dairy Barns and Calf Hutches
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)A study on the effects of ambient temperature on the searching abilities and parasitism rates of two house fly pupal parasitoids M. raptor and M. raptorellus in dairy barns and calf hutches was conducted near Ithaca, NY ... -
Use of Reflective Mulch to Reduce Thrips Populations in Field-Grown Cut Flowers
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)Production of field-grown cut flowers represents an expanding area of agricultural production. It is often undertaken by fruit or vegetable growers as a way to expand and diversify their businesses, and is also used by ... -
Development of IPM strategies for the control of fungal-induced russet of pear and apple
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)Fruit russet can be a severe problem on apples. The amount of russet and its economic impact will vary from season to season. We recently found that two common fungi that survive on the surfaces of apple fruit, cause russet. ... -
Stale Seedbed Practice for Vegetable Production
(New York State Integrated Pest Management Program, 1997)The premise behind the stale seedbed practice is that by delaying seeding after initial soil preparation, flushes of weeds can be induced to sprout, then killed. If the week killing is done with minimal soil disturbance, ... -
