Guest stars on the special Tuesday Insects aid potatoes UNIVERSITY PARK - Potatoes can be grown profitably by combining the action of beneficial insects with an insecticide to control aphids, research at The Pennsylvania State University indicates. The system is called “integrated pest management” and uses limited amounts of an in secticide, coupled with natural enemies of harmful insects. The technique was tested last summer to control the green peach aphid, a major pest of potatoes. The integrated pest' management approach saved 524 per acre m insect control costs, and increased profits per acre by $2lB. Conventional control procedures applying a foliar insecticide, on the other hand, increased profits by $l7O. To determine profits per acre, the potatoes were valued at $4.00 per hundred pounds. Where the systemic in secticide was used in con junction with beneficial insects, l-% pounds of active ingredient per acre gave the highest return for the dollar spent. At the 1-Vfc pound rate, yields of potatoes averaged 365 hundred weight per acre.

Ad mission to the stage shows is included in FARMFE&T’s “one-shot’ daily gate charge, which also includes parking, historical displays, field demonstrations, commercial exhibits and ag contests. Entertainment begins each day at 4 p m. Higher rates of systemic insecticide did not increase yields further, showing that beneficial insects can help regulate pests and reduce the amount of insecticide needed. Development of an in tegrated control system requires a broad base of information concerning the pest and beneficial insects, it was noted. Before a workable farm program can be put into practice, an understanding is needed on the population levels of the pest and beneficial insects. Growers must also know the impact the beneficial insects have on the pests, and the effect spray programs have on “beneficials.” A friend of mine who had her hands full with four young children was taken aback one day when her husband brought home a gift - a young, frisky puppy. Her children were all excited and asked her what they should name the pup. “Better call it Mother,” she said, “because if that dog stays, I’m going! ” READ LANCASTER FARMING F. R.
