corn earworm
Corn Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: July 29, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
The second generation of corn earworm will begin laying eggs in the silk of corn between 1450 and 1650 growing degree days (GDD). In the Caldwell area we will reach 1450 GDD on August 3. In the Parma area we will reach 1450 GDD tomorrow. It is still important to scout your corn fields for earworm eggs.
update on Laredo
Sugarbeets Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: July 28, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
The following information about Laredo was posted on the UIsugarbeet website by Dr. John Gallian.
The EPA has notified George Robinson, Idaho State Department of Agriculture, that a decision will be made during the week of July 28 whether to grant the Section 18 for Laredo. If we receive permission to use Laredo, it will allow the material to be applied as the second application for powdery mildew where a strobilurin (Gem or Headline) or benzimidazole (Topsin M) has already been
applied, allowing good resistance management practices to be followed.
black bean aphid
Sugarbeets Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: July 23, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
Amalgamated Sugar Company is reporting that Black Bean Aphids are being found in sugarbeet fields across the Treasure Valley. Growers are often mixing an insecticide with a fungicide for powdery mildew and applying them at the same time. At the present time, Laredo is still not labeled for powdery mildew in sugarbeets in Idaho. ISDA is still waiting for US-EPA to approve the label.
corn earworm
Corn Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: July 21, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
According to the Oregon State University Growing Degree Day (GDD) model for Corn Earworm we are currently at 1139 GDD in Caldwell and 1272 GDD in the Parma area. First generation moths will begin laying eggs in fresh corn silk at approximately 1300 GDD. Eggs will hatch a few days after reaching 1300 GDD and the larvae will then begin feeding on the corn kernels. The GDD model is predicting we will reach 1300 GDD in Caldwell on July 27 and in Parma on July 22.
cereal leaf beetle
Small Grains Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: July 17, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
Adult Cereal Leaf Beetles are emerging from the soil and feeding on grasses and young corn. According the U of Idaho CIS 994 “Newly emerged adults feed on a variety of material, but prefer succulent grasses, grain, and young corn.” Their numbers can reach several hundred per plant, but rarely cause economic damage because they feed for such a short time (approximately 2 weeks) before they go into a resting stage. Adults feed entirely through the leaf surface, between the veins, in a straight line. There is only one generation per year.
corn earworm
Corn Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: July 14, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
According to the Oregon State University Growing Degree Day (GDD) model for Corn Earworm we are currently at 967 GDD in Caldwell and 1097 GDD in the Parma area. First generation moths will begin laying eggs in fresh corn silk at approximately 1300 GDD. Eggs will hatch a few days after reaching 1300 GDD and the larvae will then begin feeding on the corn kernels. The GDD model is predicting we will reach 1300 GDD in Caldwell on July 29 and in Parma on July 23. As we approach 1300 GDD you will want to step up your field scouting and take the appropriate control measures.
powdery mildew in sugarbeets
Sugarbeets Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: July 10, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
Powdery mildew has been positively identified by Amalgamated Sugar Company Representatives in sugarbeet fields in the Notus, Weiser and Ontario areas. In addition, loopers have been found in several sugarbeet fields around the county. An insecticide for loopers can be tank mixed with a fungicide to treat both pests at the same time.
At the present time, Laredo does not have a label for powdery mildew in sugarbeets in Idaho. ISDA and UI are working with the manufacturer and EPA on this issue. If Laredo does become available I will post that information to this website.
UI Sugarbeet Specialist Dr. John Gallian is recommending that you do not use chemicals with the same mode of action more than once a year on the same fields. In addition, he is recommending that you add 5 pounds of sulfur to each treatment in order to fight resistance.

Early blight in potatoes
Potato Magic Valley
Posted on: July 7, 2003 by Jeff Miller and Nora Olsen
Early blight has been found in the Magic Valley. The samples had large, black stem lesions similar to late blight. However, distinct early blight lesions were present on the foliage. Although this has been seen only on a limited scale, it stresses the importance to scout fields regularly and to bring in any suspect plant samples into the University of Idaho for confidential evaluation.
powdery mildew in sugarbeets

Green Peach Aphids
Potato Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: June 17, 2003 by Brad Geary
Green Peach Aphid populations have risen sharply in the Treasure Valley this past week. Please monitor your fields closely to ensure your at-plant insecticides are managing the aphid population. If no at-plant insecticides were used, then monitor fields closely and schedule a foliar insecticide application when green peach aphids are found. Aphids have been found this year in the Magic Valley on cull piles. Volunteer potato plants and cull piles are an excellent source of inoculum, so make sure these unwanted potato plants have been destroyed. There were a lot of volunteer potatoes this year so watch potato fields closely, the aphids may have acquired the virus from the volunteer plants and will enter a field ready to spread a virus.
stripe rust in winter wheat
Small Grains Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: June 4, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
Stripe rust has been found in a hard red winter wheat being produced for seed in the Treasure Valley. Stripe rust is not a problem for us in most years. It can be a serious problem when we have inoculum, conditions for infection and growth as we've had this spring, and hosts that lack tolerance or resistance. Most of our winter and spring wheat varieties have moderate to good resistance to stripe rust. Of the most commonly planted varieties of winter wheat grown in the Treasure Valley, the variety we should be most concerned about is Brundage. Brundage lacks the stripe rust resistance of Stephens, Madsen, and Malcolm winter wheats, or Alpowa, Centennial, Penawawa, or Treasure spring wheats. Two fungicides are registered for control according to the Pacific Northwest Disease Control Handbook. Quadris can be applied up to late head emergence and can not be applied within 45 days of harvest. Tilt can be used at flag leaf emergence but not later. Much of our winter wheat is beyond this growth stage so we may have missed our opportunity to use these products. Scouting for Stripe rust is appropriate at this time, especially for varieties that may be questionable as to their Stripe rust susceptibility or tolerance. Brad Brown, Specialist at the Parma Research and Extension Center provided this information.

WCFF adult found in Gem County
Tree Fruits Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: May 30, 2003 by Tim Davis
Mike Cooper from the department of Ag found the first Western Cherry Fruit Fly adult in a Cherry Orchard in Gem County Wednesday May 27. The degree-day model was predicting emergence May 28 and first egg laying June 3 so the model was just about right on. Gem county is the latest area around so other areas in the Treasure Valley should have had adults caught by now. Applications should be applied now.

Wheat Curl Mite
Corn Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: May 27, 2003 by Jerry Neufeld
Small numbers of Wheat Curl Mites have been found in a winter wheat field south of Nampa. Infestations of WCM usually occur in the fall; however, if conditions are just right they can overwinter and cause problems in the spring. WCM vector Wheat Streak Mosaic virus and High Plains Disease (HPD) in field and sweet corn. In 1993 HPD affected about 750 acres of sweet corn in Idaho with losses exceeding 50%.
WCM are distributed by wind currents and cannot go for more than about 24 hours without a living host plant. They must have a ?green bridge? in order to move from one living host to another. Hosts are cereals or young grasses in fields or adjacent to fields. In southwest Idaho HPD has been documented in sweet corn fields that were near a wheat field infested with WCM. The incidence of disease diminished as the distance from the wheat field increased. Please check out the Wheat Curl Mite reference page for more information.
