Re: [Apple-Crop] SWD attack on intact peaches
Yes - We had 1 report from a farm in North Jersey, but I could not find any in the fruit. I later picked some ripe Encore on Sept 1 and put them in emergence cages. I let them run a full 14 days. And yes, many SWD females and males emerged. We have never had these in peaches in NJ, and we still don’t – in traditionally sprayed orchards. The difference here is that the one reported incidence in Hunterdon County and the recorded emergence from the Encore came from fruit that had not been sprayed for about 4 weeks (I still have to look up the spray programs). In recent years growers have been using many pyrethroid sprays for BMSB control. This year, given the lower BMSB populations, coupled with the use of mating disruption for OFM, the insecticide use in a number of orchards was much lower. I think what this tells us is that if we get back to a true IPM program for peaches, we have to monitor and treat for SWD, at least for fruit that is intended for table-ripe markets. We have to look at this as a whole farm practice in that we have to allow for management options if the grower also produces other SWD host crops like blueberries, cherries and caneberries.
