This time, the target is mites and other insects which feed on apple trees. Apples are a small crop in Delaware, but according to extension pest management specialist Mark Graustein, growers here are very in terested in trying some of the successful programs now in use in other states. Integrated pest management is a system of pest control which makes use of a wide range of methods to hold populations of crop-damaging insects below levels that cause economic loss. These methods include the use of beneficial insects that prey on these pests, as well as the judicious application of m- Delaware to try pest management on '★ Barn Cleaners, Manure Pumps, Manure Stackers, Silo Unloaders, Bunk Feeders, Feed Conveyors MARVIN J.

This often leads to reduced use of chemicals. Besides saving money, the system reduces the likelihood that harmful insects will become resistant to pesticides. It also cuts down on the amount of toxic materials released into the en vironment. The pilot pest management program being initiated on apples this summer will aimed primarily at the control of two kinds of mite that affect this crop. Mites appear to be becoming resistant to a number of miticides-a good reason to look at other controls. Initially, says Graustem, the program used in Delaware will be based on a system developed by Penn State University. This uses a lady beetle predator called Stethorus punctum. This predator occurs naturally m Delaware. It differs from ERNON MYERS, INC. STEEL BUILDINGS & GRAIN STORAGE Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 26,1980—€33 apples other naturally occurring mite predators in that it’s fairly tolerant of many of the insecticides used on apples. Management procedures are designed to preserve the predator population by using chemicals least likely to affect it and, where possible, by reducing rates and frequency of their ap plication. If the program works in Delaware, it could mean a welcome reduction in production costs for growers. The big question right now is whether large enough populations of Stethorus can become established for the beetle to be effective in reducing mite populations m orchards. If the Pennsylvania program doesn’t work in Delaware, Graustem has another one up his sleeve-an apple pest management program developed m New Jersey. This one uses a mite called Amblyseius fallacis which feeds on other mites. Livestock (Continued from Page C 32) Wild; 4. Linda Ebaugh; 5, GaryGmttare. Best Reasons 1. Linda Ebaugh; 2.

Detection and monitoring of these pests will be done with pheromone traps. “We’ll be using thresholds developed in New York to determine when to treat for codling moths,” he says. A scout to do the monitoring is being hired with federal funds allocated specifically for use m such pilot pest management programs. The extension service will be working with two cooperating apple growers this first year, while the program is being tested. A number of other Delaware crops already benefit from some kind of pest management program. Besides apple, these include sweet com, soybeans, small gram, alfalfa, field com, and vegetables in general. Judging Tony Dobrosky, York County; C.H.
