There will be no more regular updates to the IPM message for the 2024 season. If something comes up that should be addressed, we will make a special update.
Cranberry IPM Message
Insects.
If you have evidence of an active Vaccinium Scale infestation, spray ASAP!!
Insects.
If using Nexter or Nexter SC to control mites, please note that rate is different for chemigation than for other application methods! The rate listed in the Chart Book is for broadcast application and NOT for chemigation. The rate for chemigation is lower for both formulations of Nexter.
Things to think about regarding pesticides.
Using LI 700 in chemigation applications
Most adjuvant labels are written on a per-gallon of spray solution basis and NOT a per acre basis. Our recommendation is to use 1-4 pt/A of NIS for chemigation. Although LI 700 works a little differently than NIS, the recommendation is still the same!
Insects.
Bloom has progressed quickly, and so has berry set. Be aware of pinheads and developing fruit and get ready to apply your Altacor fruitworm management spray soon! Timing at 50% out of bloom has already come and gone for some super hybrids but many varieties will reach this point next week!
Happy Summer Solstice!
Percent bloom and percent out-of-bloom are measures of cranberry development.
