This program is designed to assist growers in making insect and disease pest management and horticultural decisions. Through the use of insect occurrence using pheromone trap data we determine the presence and pressure of insect populations. Once an insect species is present (biofix) an insect emergence prediction can be established through the use of species specific degree day models. If the insect is present and historical damage warrants management, an application of an appropriate insecticide can then be made.
Computer-based disease models are used to monitor fire blight infection potential, tree carbohydrate status and apple harvest timing predictions. Most reports on fire blight potential are emailed directly to enrolled growers. Occasionally, supplemental information is presented here.
The insects being monitored in 2011 may include: The Internal lepidopteran complex (Oriental fruit moth, lesser apple worm, codling moth), obliquebanded leafroller, plum curculio, apple maggot, spotted tentiform leafminer, pear psylla and Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
Additional details about insect and disease potential for specific sites are updated and regularly available from the NYS IPM's Network for Environment and Weather Applications (NEWA) site:
