D6-Lincaster Farming, Saturday, February 21, 1998 Tough Potato Pests Face Newer ; Tougher Insecticides WOOSTER, Ohio Potato growers need new strategies for the entire complex of pests that attack potato crops, and they may find these at the Ohio Fruit and Vegetable Growers Congress, February 4-6 in Toledo. Ohio State University's Casey Hoy, who works at the Wooster campus of the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, will be speaking at this year's Congress. His ' session "New Options and Shifting Strategies for Potato Pest Control" will address a primary concern of the potato industry. They need stronger, more innovative strategies to conquer potato pests. "New insecticides are soon going to enter the marketplace," Hoy said. "They tend to be safer than older insecticides for both farmers and the environment." Hoy said many of these new chemicals can be used together with biological and cultural con- HC*rH *l% U«J CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT 10,000 lb. skid loader trailer, $lOOO. 717-442-9552 1966 Barber Green, PFIIS, 10’ finish paver, IH gas powered motor, rubber tires, runs good, $1950.

The insecti cide controls aphids all year, as well as the first generation of Colorado potato beetle. Hoy said it's a very effective insecticide, and it's relatively safe. It has lit tle effect on beneficial insects that my be residing in potato fields. The problem with imidaclo prid—and other insecticides used at planting—is that farm ers can't determine whether it is really necessary. Sometimes these insecticides aren't used because no visible problems exist at planting. They arise later—and then it's too late for the farmer to use these solu tions. Imidacloprid insecticides have been used extensively for three years now, and Hoy said farmers must be concerned about the beetles developing resistance.

As new insecticides and bio logical and cultural practices make their way into the indus try, farmers must determine the best methods for use. When, where and what effects these solutions have on the pests and the environment must be taken into consideration. "In the end, it's up to the growers to decide how to use these new materials," Hoy said. "We'll use our time at Fruit and Vegetable Growers Congress to share what we know about these new insecticides." Hoy also hopes to discuss, as a group, economically and envi ronmentally beneficial ways for potato growers to use new insec ticides as they become available. Finding the best methods for pest control-methods that pro tect the pocketbook and the environment—is the key to suc cess for Ohio's potato growers and others in the fruit and veg etable industry.
