2011 Vegetable arthropod Pest Management Research Summary
The 2011 Vegetable Entomology Research Summary is available online at the following link: http://pubs.ext.vt.edu/ENTO/ENTO-1/ENTO-1.html.
Highlighted are Dr. Tom Kuhar’s research trials conducted in 2011 on key vegetable crops and insect pests, including a number of field experiments and laboratory assays on the brown marmorated stink bug.
Vegetables added to the Belt insecticide label
Bayer CropScience recently announced that vegetables have been added to the Belt insecticide label. The insecticide product Synapse, which also contains the potent-lepidopteran active ingredient flubendiamide, will be phased out. Belt will be the product for both cropping systems. Existing supplies of Synapse should be sold, and growers can continue to use that product. Bayer Cropscience is also offering price reductions for the product. Click more to download the new Belt label. Additional information: newbeltlabel-withvegetablesadded-pdf
Avipel re-certification: slightly modified survey
Mr. Brown (EPA) informed Mr. Raub (VDACS) recently about the need for more data. Specifically, your answer to this question: How has the loss of lindane impacted your yields in relationship to bird depredation? I have added this question to the lower left side of attached survey.

Avipel Section 18 for VA: re-certification with data
I have re-sent the survey instrument as a PDF document. My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Additional information: 2011-crop-year-pdf
Avipel Section 18 for VA: re-certification with data
Micah Raub (VDACS) received an email recently from Mr. Howard (EPA). Mr. Howard said,…”the Avipel Section 18 is eligible for re-certification with data.” 2010 data from grower testimonials on bird injury to their corn seed and seedlings, carried the day for approval of our 2011 Section 18 for Avipel use in Virginia. This is where you come in. Attached is the same survey instrument about bird injury used on 2010 acres, with 1 difference. Its requesting data for your 2011 corn fields that suffered from bird injury. Hopefully, we will receive re-certification of our Section 18 in time for you to use it on more than 12,600 acres in Virginia.
