Cutworms in mint
Mint Treasure Valley - Idaho
cutworms
Posted on: April 9, 2010 by Jerry Neufeld
Fieldmen from Landview Fertilizer are reporting that cutworms have been found in several established mint fields south of Nampa. According to U of Idaho CIS 773, Insect Control Recommendations for Mint Production in Idaho, “ The first sign of cutworm damage is when the mint is not growing, or only part of a mint field is growing in the spring. If you examine mint plants closely and find the underground rhizomes are cut off or seriously damaged, cutworms may be nearby in loose soil or plant debris.” Click on the link below to read CIS 773.

GAP Audit
Posted on: April 2, 2010 by Nora Olsen
The University of Idaho has updated the previously available Potato GAP Audit Organizational Manual. The UI manual is designed to simplify the collection of information necessary to pass the USDA GAP Audit and is now available for download at the UI Kimberly R&E Potato Storage website: http://www.kimberly.uidaho.edu/potatoes/gap.htm.
In November of 2009 the USDA replaced the May 11, 2007 version of their Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) & Good Handling Practices (GHP) Audit Verification Checklist. The new version has three major changes: 1) new identification of records, policy or documentation requirements, 2) new numbering, wording or point values for previously asked questions, and 3) the addition of new questions and traceability questions were added to each section. The updated UI GAP Audit Organizational Manual incorporated these changes into the newest version and this manual will be useful in preparing for the 2010 GAP Audit.

Late blight found in southern Idaho
Potato All Locations
Posted on: September 1, 2009 by
Late blight has been confirmed in multiple fields in southern Idaho. The late blight is not severe and with the current weather the threat of spread is low. The source of the late blight is not known at this time.
The late blight forecast was positive for all of southern Idaho this year. Last year it is likely that late blight was more wide-spread than was reported based on suspected late blight tubers in storage. Fields with healthy, green vines should be scouted thoroughly. Scouting should be concentrated in areas of the field that remain wet the longest, such as the center tower of pivots, along mainlines, in low-lying areas, and near windbreaks and shaded areas.
Ranger Russet tubers are especially susceptible to infection, so fungicide applications may be necessary especially if the vines will not be killed for a few more weeks. Use fungicides labeled for late blight. Some early blight fungicides (such as Endura) are not effective against late blight. If late blight is confirmed in a field and the tubers are destined for long term storage, tubers can be treated with phosphorous acid to decrease the risk of storage rot.
