A quick note to let everyone know that no SWD has been caught this week (June 14-20) in traps reporting to the SWD monitoring network in NY.
There is still time to prepare and plan for the actions that will be needed to protect your crops; use this time wisely. Review management tactics, calibrate sprayers, get a cooler for marketing harvested berries, install an accurate thermometer to track daily max/min temperatures, review your insecticide inventory, develop an insecticide rotation program, keep row middles mowed, control weeds, prune to open the plant canopy and reduce shady areas in the planting. Hummingbird feeders anyone?
We need more timely updates. It Is now 7/5 and the last update was 6/20! Steve Dygert
