2020 CRANBERRY PEST CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEW JERSEY

  Welcome to the 2020 cranberry recommendations. In this edition we are including more
 information on development of cranberry in relation to pest control. It is very important to make
 applications at the appropriate time to ensure maximum benefit and minimal side effects. Many
 of our pesticides are no longer patented and are being replaced by generic materials. These are
 often less expensive but careful attention should be placed on the label since the concentration of
 active ingredient may change.

 Also, please note that as the markets become more global, MRLs (maximum residue limits) play a
 stronger role in pesticide choices and can affect how and where a product is marketed. The
 pesticide label is the law but will only represent the national MRLs not global.

 GENERAL                    Cranberry tipworm is much less a problem on April-drawn bogs than on
                            May-drawn bogs. The rapid lush growth of bogs drawn in May encourages
                            infestations of tipworm. Early drawing, however, increases populations of
                            fruitworms and fireworms
                            Holding flood until early May can aid in reduction of fireworm and
                            cranberry fruitworm populations.

       A note on Phosphite fungicides: Phosphite (AKA phosphonate, phosphorous acid) based
   fungicides are all similar in activity. None of these are effective as fertilizer because the phosphite
   molecule must be converted to phosphate by soil bacteria before being useful to the plant. There
   is no evidence that these materials provide any physiological benefit other than disease control.
       There are several materials available (Prophyt, Reveille, K-Phite, Rampart, Confine-Extra, Fungi-
   Phite, Phostrol, etc.) and the best way to compare these is by examining the label to determine
   the pounds of phosphorous acid per gallon since this is the standard by which all products labelled.
   Two examples are provided below with the concentration highlighted in yellow. Please be aware
   that the labels can be quite different so PLEASE read the label for the product you are using.

FUNGAL FRUIT ROTS For the most economical and efficient control of fungal fruit rot, three
            categories for control have been established.
    Control of cranberry fruit rot is achieved by proper timing and sequence of fungicide applications.
    Timing is important because the fungi causing fruit rot tend to cause more infections that lead to
    rot during the flowering and early fruit development. Sequence is important because different
    fungicides can affect the plant differently during development. Specifically, chlorothalonil (e.g.
    Bravo) can be phytotoxic to bloom but provides excellent protection during fruit development.
    Also, recommendations differ among cultivars slightly. In general early bloom sprays work well and
    will guarantee a residue at the site of action. The early timing given below is the latest you should
    wait. Recent research has shown that combinations of Indar and Abound provide excellent disease
    control in early applications although new fungicides such as Proline are replacing Indar. In general,
    for New Jersey, applications begin in mid-June and are complete by late-July. Oso and PHD are
    newly registered, old fungicides which can play a role during the late season especially on
    susceptible cultivars. In the section below you will find specific recommendation options for fruit
    rot control.
               This scheme will be useful for growers who cannot use chlorothalonil products

    1. Early Black              Begin applications at 30 to 60% bloom. Follow with at least two
    Mullica Queen               additional applications at 5- to 10- day intervals

    2. Stevens                  Begin applications at 30 to 60% bloom. Follow with two - four additional
    Crimson Queen               applications at 5- to 10- day intervals

    3. Ben Lear                 Begin applications at scattered bloom. Follow with a second application
    Demoranville                at 60% out of bloom and make at least two subsequent applications at
                                5- to 10-day intervals.

    4. New and untested         Begin applications at 30 to 60% bloom. Follow with two - four additional
    varieties                   applications at 5- to 10- day intervals

                     needs to be watered in as soon as possible after application to avoid volatilization. Established

                     Napropamide is a germination inhibitor and will not control established weeds. Use air or ground
                     application. Material should be watered in through rain or irrigation within 4 days of application. For
                     best results, water in immediately after application. Effective against most grasses, sedges (Cyperus
                     dentatus), and some broadleaf weeds. The granular formulation of napropamide (Devrinol 10G) has
                     been discontinued. Existing supplies of Devrinol 10G may be used until the supply is depleted.

                     conditions: mat of vines and weed stems, no irrigation, peat soils, established perennials, and
                     vigorous vines.

                     Apply in late spring (May) before bloom and when irrigation for frost protection will not be needed

                     established. Repeat the application in early summer (July) after bloom. Optimum performance can be

                     move the herbicide into the root zone. Heavy irrigation, such as for frost protection, can move the

 woody plants eradication. Before and during application, soil temperature in the treatment zone should be between 40
