Redefining IPM for Strawberry Production under the Emerging Threat of Anthracnose and Strawberry Sap Beetle

Abstract

A sampling survey of strawberry acreage in New York was conducted to determine the distribution of two pests of increasing concern to strawberry growers in New York: strawberry sap beetle, Stelidota geminata (Say), and anthracnose, Colletotrichum acutatum. The 2002 sampling for both pests was conducted in a total of 37 strawberry fields at 14 farms, with farms distributed throughout four agricultural regions of New York.
