BROD By CHARLES FBRDL0.6 Assistant Professor Massachusetts Cranberry Station B CHARLES 1 The cranberry fruitworm, 4crobasis vaccinii Riley, is an 4crobasis vaccinii is an i e st economically important pest on almost every bog in southeastern Massachusetts. Crop reductions of 5 to 25 percent can be expected unless insecticide applications are carefully timed 2 or 3 times each growing season. The selection of insect- icides approved for this use is rather limited. Some of the choices are highly toxic and very hazardous to the user. All very hazardous to the aser. All have been on the market for more than 15 years. The purpose of the 3- year study described herein was to test a range of more recently developed insecti- cides, several of which pose fewer hazards to the user and/or environment. The results are rather encouraging. METHODS AND MATERIALS Procedures. Field trials were conducted on uniformly vined sections of State Bog in East Wareham, Mass. The experimental design was a randomized complete block with 8 or 10 treatment plots. Plots of 15 X 7 ft were separated within blocks by 5-ft pathways and between blocks by 10 to ground sprayer delivering about gallons per minute at 50 lb per square inch. Al treatments were diluted to the rate of 400 gallons per acre, but control plots were left untreated. A ^^ ' spray disc (4/64 inch orifice) and long distance nozzle tip and long distance nozzle tip allowed the applications to simulate those achieved commercially with overhead sprinkler systems. DifolataR was applied 2 or 3 times each year to prevent infection by fruit rot organisms. At harvest, berries from 5 randomly selected, square-ft areas within each plot were picked by hand and frozen. These were later inspected for injury by A. vaccinii.

Thuricide contains bacterial spores and crystalline toxins and is known as a microbial insecticide. Three organophosphorus and one carbamate insecticide are currently recommended to control cranberry fruitworm larvae in Massachusetts. All of these were tested concurrently at their recommended rates in 1981 to rank them according to efficacy, if possible, and to get an indication as to whether any might be giving less than adequate levels of control on commercial bogs. Additives were used with two of the insecticides. Pounce was combined with Tween 80, an adjuvant which helps spread water evenly over waxy surfaces. Theoretically, a greater kill of larvae would be expected to result with the adjuvant because Pounce residues should be more evenlydistributedonleafand berry surfaces. Gustol is a feed- ing stimulant which, once ingested, increases the appetite of larvae. It was combined with Thuricide in the hope that it would increase larval intake of bacterial spores and toxins, and cause greater larval mortality. Statisticaltests. The data were transformed to arcsin proportion and subjected to analysis of variance. Treatment means were separated using the Duncan's multiple range test (1980) and the Student-Newman-Keuls test (1981, 1982), both at the 5 per- cent probability level. Means were back-transformed for presentation purposes. Abbott's formula was used to calculate percentages of control. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Results of the 3 years of field trials are presented in Table 2. For each treatment, the average percentage of infested berries at harvest is listed under the appropriate year or years. The percent control, shown in parentheses, is based on the difference in percentage of infested berries in the treated versus untreated plots. To determine whether a treatment was inferior or superior to another in a given year, refer to the alphabetic characters next to each treat- ment average. If the 2 treatment averages being compared have one or more characters in common, the treatments should be considered equally effective. If they have none in common, one treatment is better than the other. For example, in 1981 the average percentages of infested berries were 1.4 for Pounce and 3.0 for Imidan at the 1.5-lb rate. Because both numbers are followed by the character "c", Pounce and Imidan should be considered equally effective. On this basis, it may be concluded that Pydrin and most other treatments were superior to one or both Thuricide treatments in 1980. In 1981, Lorsban gave better control than Imidan and parathion. Pydrin was more effective than parathion in 1982. All recommended insecticides except parathion, i.e., Diazinon, Guthion, and Sevimol, provided better than 88% control in 1981. Parathion, the standard in the industry, performed well in 1980 and relatively poorly in 1981 and 1982. These results tend to support the contention of several growers that parathion is not as effective as it once was. Regarding the synthetic pyrethroids, Pydrin gave apparently higher levels of NATIONAL MACHINERY REGISTER Help to compile a national cranberry machinery register!

Pounce at the 0.1 5-lb rate in 1982 seemed to perform as well as Pounce at the 0.2-lb rate in 1980 and 1981. In 1982, Tween 80 apparently enhanced the efficacy of Pounce at the 0.1 5-lb rate by about 6 percentage points. If enhancement could be demon- strated statistically by repeated experimentation, it would mean that a grower could achieve an acceptable level of control while using less Pounce per acre. This phenomenon might apply to most insecticides in Table 2, but extensive testing would be needed to show it. The microbial insecticide, Thuricide-HPC, produced rather disappointing results, probably due to larval feeding behavior. When a larva burrows into a berry, it consumes a circular area whose diameter approximates that of a larval head capsule. If there are a few or no bacterial spores or crystalline toxins in that small area, larval mortality will not ensue. The feeding stimulant, Gustol, seems to have increased the appetite of larvae, but any surmised increase in the number of ingested spores and toxins did not lead to a concomitant increase in larval mortality. Lannate and Imidan were effective, but at rates which their manufacturers and the author feel are unacceptably high. A grower would have to use one gallon of Lannate L per acre gallon of Lannate L per stacre tand through his sprinkler system to obtain good control. In contrast, New Jersey researchers have found that only one quart of Lannate L, when applied by air, results in good control of many cranberry and blueberry insect pests. Concerning Imidan, there are very few commodities which have as high a rate as 2 lb Lorsban, Orthene, and Pydrin appear to be the most promising for the control of the cranberry fruitworm in the near future. A national clearance for the use of Lorsban on cranberry was recently approved, almost four years after the author's first attempt to renew interest in this effective insecticide. Efficacy and residue trials pertaining to Pydrin are in progress as part of another cooperative effort undertaken at the request of the author. Orthene will receive a national clearance on cranberry within a year or so. The label, which will specify pre- bloom use only, might be amended in the future to include limited, post-bloom use. It should be said, in conclusion, that clearances of the above three insecticides will have been made possible by the existence of a national agricultural program called Interregional Research Project No. 4 (IR-4). This program helps insecticide manufacturers to obtain clearances of their E A U TH y products for so-called minor uses, such as those on cranberry. Without the assistance of IR-4, manufacturers could not afford the expense of gathering all the efficacy, residue, phytotoxicity, and environmental data requested of them by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration. It is IR-4 which arranges for researchers at state universities in all cranberry-growing regions to do the field and laboratory work needed to obtain clearances. Fortunately, for the cranberry industry, additional coordination of research work being done in different regions of the country results from the diligent efforts of the horticultural specialist at Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc.

I got in touch with him and he

his dream was real. He and his
wife did what they had thought
of doing. And they weren't a
bit disappointed over it.
I HADN'T seen Dave for a
year. He was a police officer who
had retired. We had been fishing
partners over the years. I told
him about my future retirement.
Could he and his wife visit us?
So they came to see us on a
Friday evening. And I came
right to the point of my
invitation.
"How do you like retirement?
I am going to retire soon. What

His wife laughed and I was a

And now he is even taking some

This came as a shocker to me.
What then is retirement? From

made myself an inward promise:
not to go to any other job, regardless

The swan dilemma Appraisals
Any suggestion that the tundra swans destroying cranberry vines in
New Jersey be shot is a sure guarantee for drawing return fire. DOUGLAS R. BEATON
A lady in Mountain Lakes, N.J., wrote to Philip E. Marucci of the E. Sandwich, Mass.
Cranberry and Blueberry Laboratory in Chatsworth: "I used to look 02537
forward to using cranberries in a nut bread I would bake .... However, (617) 888-1288
after reading that the cranberry farmers want a hunting season on swans,
I have substituted raisins, prunes and dates for cranberries and will boycott
all cranberry products and will advise others to do the same ....
Given a choice between cranberry farmers or swans, I easily opt for the
swans."
I share with the lady a discomfiture over the mental picture of these CRANBERRIES

Insecticide field trials
against the cranberry fruitworm
in Massachusetts, 1980-82

The cranberry fruitworm,

4crobasis vaccinii is an
i e st
economically important pest on
almost every bog in southeastern
Massachusetts. Crop reductions
of 5 to 25 percent can be
expected unless insecticide
applications are carefully timed
2 or 3 times each growing
season. The selection of insect-
icides approved for this use is
rather limited. Some of the
choices are highly toxic and
very hazardous to the user. All
very hazardous to the aser. All
have been on the market for
more than 15 years.
The purpose of the 3-
year study described herein
was to test a range of more
recently developed insecti-
cides, several of which pose
fewer hazards to the user
and/or environment. The
results are rather encouraging.
METHODS AND MATERIALS
Procedures. Field trials were
conducted on uniformly vined
sections of State Bog in East
Wareham, Mass. The experimental
design was a randomized
complete block with 8 or
10 treatment plots. Plots of
15 X 7 ft were separated
within blocks by 5-ft pathways
and between blocks by 10 to
ground sprayer delivering about
gallons per minute at 50 lb
per square inch. Al treatments
were diluted to the rate of 400
gallons per acre, but control
plots were left untreated. A
^^ '
spray disc (4/64 inch orifice)
and long distance nozzle tip
and long distance nozzle tip
allowed the applications to
simulate those achieved
commercially with overhead
sprinkler systems. DifolataR
was applied 2 or 3 times each
year to prevent infection by
fruit rot organisms. At harvest,
berries from 5 randomly selected,
square-ft areas within each plot
were picked by hand and frozen.
These were later inspected for
injury by A. vaccinii.
