Corn Earworm counts for August 4
Corn Treasure Valley
corn earworm
Posted on: August 4, 2016 by Jerry Neufeld
Here are the corn earworm moth counts from this morning. The greatest number of moths were trapped in the Homedale area. Still, the numbers are fairly low. According to a Purdue Extension publication entitled CORN INSECT CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS – 2016, “control is only economically justified on seed, sweet, or popcorn. Treat if 10 or more moths for several consecutive nights are captured in an earworm pheromone trap just before or during silking.” You may want to scout cornfields, especially n the Homedale area, for this pest.

Grassy weeds in lawn
Posted on: August 4, 2016 by Rich Guggenheim
Weeds of various types in turf and laws are being brought in for identification and control. Proper control will require identification of the weed, a service provided for free by your local University of Idaho Extension Office.
Non chemical control methods including mowing your lawn as high as practical for your turf variety- usually 3-4 inches, deep watering of your lawn, proper fertilization usually in the fall, and core aeration can be very effective at aiding in control of weeds in your lawn.

July 29, 2016 – More Lso-positive psyllids found in Treasure and Magic Valleys
Potato All Locations
potato psyllids
Posted on: July 29, 2016 by Amy Carroll
Last week we reported on a sharp increase in the prevalence of Lso-positive psyllids relative to the previous weeks this season. Out of an abundance of caution to avoid reporting any false positives, we re-tested a subset of those positive psyllids and we stand by our original results. The sites during Week 9 with putative positive psyllids that we had labelled as “pending” are now labelled as “positive.”
In addition, several potato psyllids collected last week tested positive for Lso (liberibacter), the bacterium that causes zebra chip. Lso-positive psyllids were found in the following counties: Payette (1 field), Owyhee (1 field), Canyon (6 fields), Twin Falls (2 fields), Minidoka (2 fields), and Cassia (1 field). Furthermore, two potato psyllid nymphs collected from leaf samples from a field in Ada County tested positive for Lso.
Potato psyllids were collected this week on sticky traps in potato in the following counties: Malheur (OR) (1 field), Payette (3 fields), Owyhee (5 fields), Canyon (13 fields), Ada (2 fields), Elmore (2 fields), Twin Falls (8 fields), Jerome (2 fields), Cassia (2 fields), and Power (1). Additionally, potato psyllid nymphs were captured on leaf samples from 2 fields in Ada County, and two potato psyllids were captured from vacuum samples taken from Intense fields in Canyon and Ada County.
We collected 361 psyllids this week from sticky cards (246 from Light sites and 115 from Intense sites). Of the total 363 psyllids captured this week, 335 came from the Treasure Valley. We found psyllids in 40 of the 101 fields (40%) that were sampled this week.
Because of the recent prevalence of Lso and the relatively high numbers of potato psyllids that we have been collecting each week, we urge growers to maintain their IPM programs targeting psyllids and to be on the lookout for plants exhibiting ZC symptoms over the coming weeks. Foliar symptoms should be manifested about three weeks following inoculation, but will need to be confirmed by examining and testing tubers. See link below for description and photos of ZC symptoms, and please take suspicious plant samples to the Kimberly R&E Center or to your local UI Extension Center.

Increase in Lso-positive psyllids in Treasure and Magic Valleys
Potato All Locations
potato psyllids
Posted on: July 22, 2016 by Erik Wenninger
Numerous potato psyllids collected last week tested positive for Lso (liberibacter), the bacterium that causes zebra chip. Lso-positive psyllids were found in the following counties: Payette (1 field), Owyhee (1 field), Canyon (4 fields), Twin Falls (3 fields), and Jerome (1 field).
This represents a sharp increase in the prevalence of Lso-positive psyllids relative to the previous weeks this season. We are quite certain that these results are accurate; however, out of an abundance of caution to avoid reporting any false positives, we are in the process of retesting several samples that did not show as strong a positive result as others. Those sites collected during Week 9 that we believe to be positive but are being retested are marked on the spreadsheet (links provided below) as “pending” in the “% Lso+ psyllids” column. We expect to update these data next week when results from the additional tests come in. We collected psyllids that we believe to be positive but that currently have a status of Lso “pending” in the following counties: Payette (2 fields), Owyhee (2 fields), Canyon (2 fields), Ada (1 field), and Jerome (1 field).
Regardless, there clearly has been an increase in the prevalence of Lso-positive psyllids as well as relatively high numbers of psyllids overall. Therefore, we urge growers to maintain their IPM programs targeting psyllids and to be on the lookout for plants exhibiting ZC symptoms over the coming weeks. Foliar symptoms should be manifested about three weeks following inoculation, but will need to be confirmed by examining and testing tubers. See link below for description and photos of ZC symptoms, and please take suspicious plant samples to the Kimberly R&E Center or to your local UI Extension Center.
Potato psyllids were collected this week on sticky traps in potato in the following counties: Malheur (OR) (1 field), Payette (3 fields), Owyhee (5 fields), Canyon (13 fields), Ada (2 fields), Elmore (1 field), Twin Falls (2 fields), Jerome (3 fields), Gooding (1 field), Minidoka (2 fields), and Cassia (6 fields).
We collected 245 psyllids this week from sticky cards (179 from Light sites and 66 from Intense sites). Two potato psyllids were collected in a vacuum sample on an Intense site in Canyon County, and four nymphs were found on leaf samples from an Intense site in Ada County. Of the total 247 psyllids captured this week, 152 came from the Treasure Valley. We found psyllids in 38 of the 103 fields (37%) that were sampled this week.

I am not aware of treatment thresholds for this pest in Idaho, however, the following excerpt was taken from an Extension Publication from Purdue University.
Management Guidelines
Corn Insect Control Recommendations: E-series 219-W
For seed production fields, if 10 or more moths are captured in a pheromone trap for several consecutive nights, economic damage is possible. However, only fields silking and/or pollinating during this time are candidates for treatment.
You may want to step up your field scouting and work closely with your crop consultant to determine if a treatment is necessary.

Tobacco/ Geranium budworm (Helicoverpa virescens)
Posted on: July 21, 2016 by Rich Guggenheim
The Tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens) causes damage to roses, petunias, geraniums, and the flower buds of other ornamental garden plants. Control methods include scouting and hand picking at dusk, roto-tilling, and planting less susceptible plant material.
On geraniums, insecticidal control is difficult because caterpillars are protected from applications inside the flowerbuds and stems. Consider planting ivy geraniums instead of standard geraniums.
On petunias pyrethrin insecticides can provide good control. Look for products containing the active ingredients permethrin, cyfluthrin, or bifenthrin. Always read and follow all label direction.

Posted on: July 15, 2016 by Amy Carroll
One potato psyllid collected last week on a sticky card from a potato field in Jerome County tested positive for Lso (liberibacter), the bacterium that causes zebra chip. All other psyllids collected last week tested negative for Lso.
Potato psyllids were collected this week on sticky traps in potato in the following counties: Malheur (OR) (1 field), Payette (3 fields), Owyhee (3 fields), Canyon (11 fields), Ada (2 fields), Elmore (1 field), Twin Falls (4 fields), Jerome (1 field), and Gooding (1 field). This is the first potato psyllid captured in Gooding County this year.
We collected 100 psyllids this week from sticky cards (69 from Light sites and 30 from Intense sites). One potato psyllid was collected in a vacuum sample on an Intense site in Twin Falls County. Of the total 100 psyllids captured this week, 92 came from the Treasure Valley.
We had traps deployed in 105 of the 107 fields (98%) that will be monitored this year. We found psyllids in 27 of the 105 fields (26%) that were looked at this week.
As always, we urge growers and crop consultants to have an IPM program in place. More information and resources on potato psyllids and zebra chip, including management and scouting recommendations, can be found at the links below.

Corn Earworm 2016
Corn Treasure Valley
corn earworm
Posted on: July 11, 2016 by Jerry Neufeld
I am once again collaborating with Charter Seed Co. and Crookham Seed Co. on a project to trap corn earworm moths. Traps will be set out in corn fields at various locations near Dry Lake, Kuna, Melba, Wilder, Homedale, and Caldwell. I will check the traps every few days and post the moth counts to this website.
There are a couple of models that can be used to predict the emergence of the summer generation of corn earworm moths. This is the generation of moths that lay eggs in corn that is silking at the time of their emergence.
One model uses January 1 as a biofix, 55 and 92 as the temperature parameters and predicts the summer moths will appear after 1300 growing degree days (GDD). These moths will then begin laying eggs in fresh corn silk. This model also estimates the eggs will hatch and larvae will begin feeding on corn ears 73 GDD later. According to this model, we will reach 1300 GDD in the Parma area on 7/23 and 1300 GDD in the Caldwell area on 7/23. Egg laying in most, if not all, Treasure Valley locations will take place about this same time. This is about 9 days later than 2015.
The second model simply uses 8/1 as the default date that the summer moths will emerge and begin laying eggs in fresh corn silk. I do not think this model will be of value this year.
Traps will go out early next week. The first moth counts will be posted a few days after the traps are set out.
The links below will take you to the websites where you can view the growing degree day model and also view various treatment methods based on the type of corn that you are growing.

Black Bean Aphid in Sugarbeets 2016
All Crops All Locations
Black Bean Aphid
Posted on: July 7, 2016 by Jerry Neufeld
Amalgamated Sugar Company Field Staff are reporting the Black bean aphids have been found in the Dry Lake Area of Canyon County. In 2015, UI Extension Entomologist Dr. Erik Wenninger posted this information about black bean aphids. The black bean aphid is a dark-bodied aphid, about 1/16 inch long; individuals may be winged or wingless. Aphids may be found on the young leaves within the crown of sugar beets. Infestations usually occur as scattered hot spots or along edges rather than uniformly across the entire field. Colonies can produce massive amounts of honeydew, which causes a black, sooty mold to cover the leaves.
There are no formal economic thresholds for insecticide treatment decisions for bean aphids, but treatment should be considered if fields are under heavy pressure. When scouting a field, it is important to sample plants in several representative areas across a field, because infestations may be patchy. Also, several predators (notably, lady beetles) and parasites attack bean aphids and may effectively suppress aphid populations. Therefore, it is advisable to assess natural enemy populations when making a decision on whether to apply insecticides. In addition to sugar beets, black bean aphids may be found in other crops, including beans and corn.
You may be able to tank mix insecticides for black bean aphid with fungicides used for powdery mildew. Make sure to read and follow the label and contact your Field Consultant from AMSCO for more treatment options.

Lawn Grubs
Posted on: July 5, 2016 by Rich Guggenheim
July and August is the time to apply control methods for white grubs and June beetles.
One way to control them is to simply grow a vigorous lawn. Healthier plants have fewer pests and are more tolerant of infestations. Aerate lawns in the spring and fall, and apply fertilizer in the fall. Proper irrigation and mowing at a height of 3.5 to 4 inches will help establish and maintain a vigorous lawn.
Other options include insecticides such as imidacloprid.
Organic methods include Heterorhabditis spp. nematodes and or Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes.
Proper timing of insecticides is critical for effective control of lawn grubs.

Posted on: June 27, 2016 by Dian Roberson
With the hot dry weather in the forcast, be on the look out for spider mite damage. They attack evergreens, deciduous trees, and many other ornamental plants. They even like your veggies occasionally. You will probably not see the insect as they are as small as tiny specs of dust. They damage plants by rasping the cell surface so look for stippling or browning of needles. If you shake the plant over a white piece of paper and look closely you may see them moving around.
