I got in touch with him and he 
invited the two of us to spend

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 

can you tell me that might help

His wife laughed and I was a

This came as a shocker to me. 
What then is retirement? From 
one job to another? Nothing

made myself an inward promise: 
not to go to any other job, regardless 
of how tempting the offer

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

after reading that the cranberry farmers want a hunting season on swans, 
I have substituted raisins, prunes and dates for cranberries and will boycott

swans."

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.

of insecticides called the synthe-
tic pyrethroids. 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

control than Pounce when 
applied at the 0.2-lb rate. 
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.
