—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 1,1978 148 Support needed for Md, pest management program COLLEGE PARK, Md. - When one cuts through the smoke surrounding the continuous battle of words between environmental purists and the real world of commercial food producers and agrichemical sales representatives, a few basic facts remain. They include thefollowing- One of the upward spiraling costs facing far mers is the ever-increasing costs of insecticides and herbicides. Increasingly heavier application rates seem to be necessary to cope with apparent resistance built up by both insects and weeds. This, of course, adds to total costs. No-tillage cropping may be necessary to save labor and help conserve the land for future generations. But it, too, requires increased use of agrichemicals. Even though the above statements are facts of life on the commercial agriculture scene* there is no reason that farmers should feel they are helpless vic tims of an economic treadmill. For more than 30 years, entomologists at land-grant universities and the U.S. Department of Agriculture have been steadily evolving a program of integrated pest management, which com bines scouting together with DAIRY & MACHINERY DISPERSAL SATURDAY, APRIL 8 Sale to be held at Jack Wood's Farm located on Taylor Valley Road, 3 miles North of Cin cinnatus off Route 26.

The Maryland program first involved a pilot project with sweet corn and lima bean growers on the Delmarva peninsula. Funds were provided by a federal grant. Now that program is entirely self-sustaining, paid for by the commercial canners, who became convinced of its value on their acreage contracted with individual growers. Then the Maryland Ex tension workers shifted their emphasis to coordinated pest management for soybean farmers on the Eastern Shore. This involved both hiring field scouts for insect surveys and release of parasitic wasps to help control the Mexican bean beetle. Last year, a program began for integrated pest management in alfalfa fields in the Piedmont area, north and west of the Chesapeake Bay. Further big expansions in pest management are planned nationwide by 1986, reports Dr. Galen P. Dively, Extension entomologist. He expects similar expansion in the Old Line State. A major reason for the expansion, Dr. Dively commented, is that the program is rapidly becoming a truly inter- 12:00 Noon 87-CATTLE-87 disciplinary effort. Ex tension weed control specialists and other agronomists are joining the fight. Weather specialists are also lending their' expertise. And, interest is beginning to stir among plant pathologists and other botany specialists. But the federal govern ment can no longer afford to continue the funding used to start the original pilot projects. The program will have to be paid for - and enthusiastically supported - by farmers themselves, Dr. Dively emphasized. That way, government money can be released for new projects connected with expansion of the program. With the 1978 cropping season dose at hand, Dr. Dively pointed out, plans need to be made soon for hiring field scouts in areas where sufficient numbers of farmers have expressed a willingness to participate. The cost to farmers will be $2 per acre. A minimum of 50 acres per grower will be required, and all fees will collected in advance. About $5,000 will be needed to pay for one scout, plus expenses, for one season. A minimum of 2,500 acres in one locality would be required to make hiring a PUBLIC SALE 50 YEAR COLLECTION WOOD WORKING, BLACKSMITH & OTHER TOOLS SATURDAY, APRIL 8 Turn West off Rt. 61 onto The Mountain Road North of Hamburg State Police Barracks.

LUNCH BY ST PAULS CHURCH Not Resjir nsible For Accidents scout worthwhile in that area. Money will be collected by local Extension agricultural agents in participating counties and transferred to the University of Maryland in an account restricted for the operation of the scouting program. On the Eastern Shore, the program will be available for full-season soybeans and fields of double-cropped small grain and soybeans. In central Maryland, it will apply to corn and alfalfa. Interested farmers on the ■ Eastern Shore should con tact their county Extension agricultural agent prior to April 10. Scouting will begin about May 1 and run through September. In central Maryland, scouting is set to begin in early April. So interested farmers not already signed up should contact 'their county Extension agricultural agents im mediately. Here, too, the scouting will run through the month of September, Dr. Dively said. He is convinced that farmers who participate can save money - and sleep better at night - compared with the too-common current method of hit-or-miss ap plication of agrichemicals for “insurance” purposes.
