Cutworms in Mint
Mint Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: April 8, 2009 by Jerry Neufeld
Fieldmen from Landview Fertilizer are reporting that cutworms have been found in several established mint fields south of Caldwell. The worms were first noticed in a new seeding of alfalfa. 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 “More Information” button to read CIS 773.

Powdery Mildew on organic Table grape
Small Fruits Treasure Valley - Idaho
Posted on: September 19, 2008 by Tony McCammon
Field Day and Vineyard Tour: Managing Powdery Mildew at Rocky Fence Vineyard Saturday, September 20, 1‐3 pm, Emmett, Idaho
Presented by: University of Idaho Extension, Rocky Fence Vineyard, University of Idaho Pomology Program
Funded by: Western Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (WSARE) 2008 Professional + Producer Grant
AGENDA
1:00 PM Welcome, registration, introductions
1:30 PM Begin facilitated vineyard tour of the powdery mildew project
2:30 PM Question and answer with grower, Extension faculty and researchers, refreshments
3:00 PM Adjourn
Organic table grape production may be a good match for southwest Idaho’s rapidly changing agricultural
landscape. Population has increased over 30% since 2000 and farms are downsizing. Producers want successful
alternative crops to diversify operations and generate income.
Michael Medes of Rocky Fence Vineyards, a producer of organic table grapes, will use this Professional + Producer
Grant to seek solutions to powdery mildew, the most threatening disease to marketable fruit. With Ariel
Agenbroad and Tony McCammon, and with the support of Dr. Esmaeil Fallahi and Dr. Krishna Mohan, they will test the effectiveness of preventive management practices, implement an expanded trellis system, scout and test for early detection and use climate‐based disease forecasting and organically approved fungicide treatments.
Project findings will be shared at two annual on‐farm demonstration events, conferences and in future Extension publications. This field day is the first of these events.
