Horticulture is a Growth Career


Professor Teryl Roper thrives on the variety of his work. 

Long before he considered a cran-
berry, Teryl Roper developed an interest 
and curiosity about horticulture that was 
encouraged by his schoolteacher father, 
and inspired by his childhood hometown 
in the Utah Valley, a center of horticul-
tural ingenuity. 

He went on to earn his bachelor and 
master's degrees in botany from Brigham 
Young University in Provo, Utah. His 
master's thesis was on the use of an ex-
perimental fungicide in apples. From 
there, he moved to Washington State 
University for a Ph.D. in horticulture. His 
subject was sweet cherries, specifically 
the photosynthesis and carbon partition-
ing of that fruit. This was a physiology 
study on the changing patterns of where 
sugars are created and where they ulti-
mately land. It was there in 1986 at 
Washington State that Roper was intro-
duced to the cranberry and a longterm 
relationship began. 

On a small fruit class trip Roper vis-
ited the Long Beach and Grayland grow-
ing areas. He was fascinated with the 
Washington cranberry industry which he 
later discovered on a much larger scale 
in Wisconsin. There are other unique 
regional differences: In the West, where 
timber is king, treated lumber contains 
the beds rather than the soil dikes of the 
Wisconsin marshes. 

After graduating in 1987, Ph.D. in 
hand, Roper headed to California to work 
for the University of California-Davis at 
a research station in Fresno County. 
There, he researched the effects of air 
pollution on raisin grapes. "I found out I 
didn't want to be employed at a research

station," he said. "I wanted to work on a 
university campus where there is more 
intellectual stimulation. I also learned 
that I did not want to work on air pollu-
tion." 

Consequently, Roper landed just such 
a job at the University of Wisconsin-
Madison in 1988 as Assistant Professor 
in the Horticulture Department. In 1994 
he was promoted to Associate Professor 
with tenure. His faculty appointment is 
split between 75% extension work and 
25% research. 

In his extension role, he is an adult 
educator, a position that takes several 
forms. Roper is the primary liaison be-
tween the cranberry industry and the 
state university. He takes problems iden-
tified by the industry to the university 
where researchers can apply their exper-

tise. Then, he facilitates research applications 
in ways growers can use. Sometimes 
this just involves helping current 
researchers present their information and 
sometimes it requires extrapolating research 
from other crops to the needs of 
cranberries before cranberry specific investigations 
can be done. 

Cranberries, in fact, aren't his sole responsibility; 
he also oversees all other 
fruit crops in Wisconsin including apples, 
cherries, strawberries, and raspberries. 
This extension work is a team effort with 
Drs. Dan Mahr (entomology) and Patty 

I McManus (plant pathology). 
Roper's current work in cranberry research 
includes identifying toxicity levels 
for minor and micro nutrients. With 
some growers applying copious amounts 
of micro nutrients, he wants to know at 
what tissue concentration these excess 
nutrients could actually decrease vine 
growth and productivity. He is also examining 
the relationship of soil pH and 
nitrification of applied ammonium fertilizer. 
If ammonium fertilizer applied to 
cranberries is readily changed to nitrate, 
it becomes unavailable for the vines and 
may be leached into the environment. 
In the past, Roper developed a model 
of carbon partitioning in cranberry which 
revealed the current growth season as the 
most important source of carbohydrates 
for fruit growth. Consequently, anything 
that injures or damage new growth, reduces 
yield. 
While the university is a valuable research 
resource there would be little scientifically 
based data to help increase

LARCHMONT is the New England Distributor for PACO Irrigation Pumps. These pumps, in most 
cases, are more efficient than most other brands. Pumps are available in electric, close coupled, or long 
coupled with SAE housing for engine mount. Larchmont will mount to engines of your choice. 

Example: 

PACO Pump: 6 x 8 x 11 
2000 GPM @ 140' TDH is 88% efficient and requires only 80HP at design point. 
This can be mounted on a Chevrolet 350 LPG engine. 

PACO Pump: 8 x 10 x 12 
3000GPM @ 140' TDH is 90% efficient. This can be mounted to a Chevrolet 
454 LPG engine. 

Not only does the higher efficiency offer a saving in original cost by being capable of using a smaller 
engine but also your fuel consumption per gallon pumped is less. 

PACO has added to its Irrigation Line, a FOOD HANDLING Helixal Port Impeller Pump suitable to 
the Cranberry Industry. These units are available in 3", 4" and 6"suction and discharge sizes.

Funding for Cranberry Projects
Surpasses $1 Million for 1997


by Donald C. Weber 

_ ranberry research project funding exceeded

QC the $1 million mark for 1997. Grower orga-

nizations continue to contribute the lion's 

share of project support, over $800,000. 

The Ocean Spray Cranberries Outside 
Research Committee worked closely with the Cranberry In-
stitute to facilitate communication, coordination and prior-
ity-setting for joint funding of research projects of common 
interest to CI, OSC, and the six grower groups funding cran-
berry research (see key, right). This coordination helps to avoid 
duplication of efforts as well as leading to new and productive 
affiliations amongst researchers from different regions. 

Strong and coordinated funding from grower organizations 
has another benefit: it gives our diligent researchers the op-
portunity to obtain matching funds from government and other 
granting agencies, so that grower monies go much further. For 
instance, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) has 
been particularly strong in matching grower research support 
for Canadian research. 

This year's funded projects number 77, involving 64 listed 
investigators with 21 different institutional affiliations. These

The Cranberry Institute's funded projects show a difference 
in emphasis for 1997. They include environmental studies such 
as an evaluation of wildlife and ecological function of cran-
berry farms in Oregon, and best management practices for the 
Grayland, Washington, growing area. But in a change from 
previous years, most CI-funded projects for 1997 focussed on 
agricultural prarctices in particular development of environ-
mentally-friendly pest management alternatives for cranberries. 
This reflects the CI Board of Directors' sense of urgency 
provoked by the recent implementation of the U.S. Food Qual-
ity Protection Act. FQPA may well accelerate loss of currently-
registered crop protection chemicals, putting cranberry pro-
duction at risk if alternatives are not in the ready. 

~


As always, we are indebted to cranberry growers, who support 
research in a multitude of ways. As this overview shows, 
growers as a group provide generous research funding. They 
provide essential input to the research agenda by identifying 
practical priorities as well as ideas arising from their own innovative 
practices with cranberry agriculture. The generosity 
and cooperation of growers who allow us to conduct research 
on their marshes, bogs and beds is an individual contribution 
which is greatly appreciated. 

The preceding pages provide an overview of research 
projects, organized by discipline and principle investigating 
researchers.

Machias. 

W~eathe

Weather 

April daily temperature averaged 1 
degree below normal. Daytime highs averaged 
1.6 degree below normal and 
evening lows averaged .6 below normal. 
Maximum temperature for the month 
was recorded at 66 degrees on April 29 
and a minimum temperature for the 
month of 23 degrees on 11th 

Precipitation for the month totalled 

5.63 inches, 1.35 inches above normal 
for the month, .9 inch above average for 
the year to date, but two inches behind 
1996. The highest 24-hour precipitation 
was on April 1 at 2.57 inches which was 
in the form of snow measuring at .11 
inches here at the Station and 1.03 
inches of rain on the 13th. There were 
nine days of measurable precipitation. 
The Great April Fool's Day northeast 
storm was a record for the most snow in 
a single storm during April, surpassing 
April 1, 1982's six inches and also this was 
a record snowfall total for the month of 
April, surpassing 1996's eight inches. The 
1996-97 snowfall totalled 24.65 inches.

Frost 

F total of eight warnings were issued 
during the month of April. This is very 
unusual to have this many warnings. Due 
to the warm winter and wet spring, plant 
growth seemed to be about two weeks 
ahead of normal in early April, creating 

ra 

a higher than normal tolerance. There 
does not seem to be any frost damage in 
the many samples from different locations 
we have examined. Bogs generally over 
wintered very well and the bud for this 
year looks very good.

Marcus L. Uran 
Founded Academicr b1

dspi h o 

Society 


Marcus L. Urann, whose estate funds scholarships for the 
children of cranberry growers through the Urann Foundation, 
showed his esteem for scholarship early in life when, in 1897, 
as a senior at the University of Maine, he fostered the estab-i | 

That society, Ph i its 100th anniversary

Kappa Phi, celebrates 
this year. 

"'Phi Kappa Phi is the only honor society that recognizes 
academic excellence across all disciplines -the best students 
at the University of Maine and at institutions across the country," 
said Ginny Gibson, president of the UMaine chapter of 
Phi Kapa Phi in Maine Perspective, a university publication. 
"Each academic discipline has its own honor society but Phi 
Kappa Phi is interdisciplinary, recognizing excellence wherever 
it is found. In this respect it is a unique organization. 
,,


,rting withUanthe shinspiraon

andi Pi

Starting with Urann's inspiration and the subsequent initiation 
of 10 of the University's top scholars and three of its 
outstanding faculty in 1897 Phi Kappa Phi has grown into a 
national organization with almost a million members world-
wide and over 300 chapters. Eligibility is based on excellence 
of scholarship and integrity of character -undergraduates in 
the upper 10 percent of their class, and graduate students, fac-
ulty, alumni and honorary members of scholarly distinction, 

Urann, who later went on to found and lead Ocean Spray, 
first spoke of the new honor society as a means of showing the 
interdependence of research and theoretical work. 

Looking back on his achievement in an article he wrote in 
1924, Urann said that his purpose in founding Phi Kappa Phi 
was to make the ability of the high-ranking students of the 
university "most useful to society". In addition, he noted that 
he was "looking for something which would be an inspiration 

to all students to work for high rank" as well as a means of 

uniting peers. 

"The state of Maine has given and should continue to give 
able men and women to the nation," Urann wrote. But the 
University must do more for young men and women to enable 

them to step into positions of "responsibility and usefulness". 
Neither the state nor the student body respects rank and schol-
arship as it should, he said. In addition, he noted, "the state 
should look to the university for more than muscle farmers,

to 1955. Under a name change in 1959, the grower's

and (should) appreciate the fact that the farmer, to successfully 
farm, needs education of the first order and, also, that 
many a farm boy is worth more on some other job or can contribute 
more to the farm from the laboratory with a test tube 
than on the land with a plow." 

After graduating from the University of Maine Urann continued 
in scholarship and as a visionary. He studied law at Boston 
University and was admitted to the bar in both Maine and 
Massachusetts. In 1906, he purchased a Massachusetts cran


berry bog, and from then on devoted his life to developing the 
nation's cranberry industry. Urann was one of the charter members 
of the erican Cranberr Exchange, a national market


ing cooperative for fresh fruit that served the industry for some 

50 years. 

In addition to assisting cranberry growers, the Urann Foundation 
also awards scholarships for students at the University 
of Maine.

water fungicide study and; (3) Second 
year after late water fungicide study. The 
data and their conclusions are most ap-
propriate for Massachusetts and New Jer-
sey where fruit rot is a major problem 
every year, and where the fungal patho-
gens are similar. However, the results and 
conclusions may also be useful in other 
growing areas. 

Fungicides which are registered 
against fruit rot are designated by their 
trade names. Unregistered materials are 
referred to as a Product. No endorsement 
of any of the registered materials is im-
plied by the discussion herein. Anyone

Screen of new and presently 
registered materials 

There were three studies within this 
study. Bravo 720 was compared to Echo 
720; these both have chlorothalonil as 
their active ingredient. Manex (maneb) 
was compared to a new formulation of 
copper hydroxide, Kocide 2000. For the 
first time, a novel type of material was 
tested for fruit rot control. Product #1 is 
a material which controls disease in other 
host-pathogen systems by activating the 

Page 26 June 1997 Cranberries 

genes for systemic acquired resistance in 
the host. The material is not fungicidal, 
fungitoxic, or fungistatic. Once applied 
to the host plant, it interacts with the 
cells of the host to turn on the genes 
which are responsible for mechanisms 
which confer resistance to a pathogenic 
invader. These mechanisms may include 
the production of fungitoxic chemicals 
or structural barriers in the host which 
would prevent entry by the pathogen or 
continued invasion after entry by the 
pathogen. This formulation had never 
been tested in cranberry against any dis-
ease. In fact, few woody plants had been 
tested when these studies were begun. 
The material had to be applied to cran-
berry vines prior to the opening of any 
blossoms. This time period would, pre-
sumably, allow the genes for resistance 
in the cranberry plant to be activated by 
the time the first fungal spores landed on 
the susceptible flower tissue for subse-
quent infection, leading to fruit rot. 

Plots were established in the cultivar 
Early Black in State Bog. Three sprays of 
each material were applied on: 

June 17 (15% bloom); 

July 1 (25% fruit set); 

July 15 (100% fruit set). 

Product #1 was applied three times 
on an earlier schedule: 
June 11 (few scattered blooms); 

June 21 (55% bloom); 

July 4 (45% fruit set). 

Each treatment was replicated eight 
times in a randomized complete block 
design in 25 ft2 plots. Sprays were applied 
using a 4-gallon Solo Jetpak piston pump 
sprayer at a rate of 30 psi. Product #1 was 
applied in a sprayer separately designated 
for its application, so there were no deleterious 
effects of other fungicides on the 
activity of the material. Berries were 
hand-picked from a 4 ft2 area in the center 
of each replicate. 

Berries were harvested September 24 
-30, counted and evaluated for the presence 
or absence of field rot at five days 
after harvest. Sound berries were sorted 
and stored at 38°F for eight weeks. Standard 
cup counts and 100 berries were 
weighed to determine whether the treatments 
had any effect on berry size. At this 
time the berries were evaluated for storage 
rot. The data are shown in Table 1. 

The untreated check plots had 83% 
field rot, which was higher than many 
previous growing seasons in the plot area. 
Bravo 720 and Echo 720 afforded equal 
control of field rot and storage rot, and 
they were not statistically different from 
each other. In addition, Manex gave good 
control of both rots, slightly less effective 
than the chlorothalonils but not statistically 
different from them. Kocide

2000 performed in similar fashion to ear-
lier tested Kocide formulations in the plot 
area which has severe inoculum pressure. 
Control of field rot and storage rot was 
significantly greater in the Kocide-
treated plots. Product #1 did not reduce 
either field rot or storage rot. Apparently, 
the formulated material lost activity af-
ter weeks in the refrigerator (according 
to the manufacturer), and the freshly 
used formulation on June 11 was the only 
application which may have exerted any 
efficacy. The other two applications 
lacked any activity. Consequently, fun-
gal infection occurred and the rot was as 
high as the check plots. This is unfortu-
nate, but the company is trying to iron 
out these problems as there are more tri-

als in progress. None of the treatments 
exerted an adverse effect on the size or 
the weight of the berries. 

Year after late water 
fungicide study 

Plots were established at the 
Edgewood Trust Waterville D-14 bog in 
Middleboro. This bed of Early Black vines 
had late water in 1995. The lowest (4 pt/ 
A) and highest (7 pt/A) rates of Bravo 
720 were sprayed once (IX), twice (2X) 
or three (3X) times. 

The 1X Bravo treatments were 
sprayed on June 26 (90% bloom); the 2X 
Bravo treatments were sprayed on June 
19 (40% bloom) and July 3 (30% fruit 
set); the 3X Bravo treatments were 

sprayed on June 14 (10% bloom), June 
28 (95% bloom, 10% fruit set), and July 
8 (70% fruit set). Methodologies were as 
described previously. Berries were harvested 
from September 16. The data are 
shown in Table 2. 

The least amount of field rot was 
noted for the Bravo 7 pt/A -IX treatment; 
the greatest amount of field rot 
occurred in the Bravo 7 pt/A -3X treatment. 
These data, plus the data from the 
other treatments indicates that fungicides 
were not necessary to control field 
rot one year after late water was held. 
This was also supported by no differences 
being noted among all treatments for the 
incidence of storage rot. The high rate

of Bravo applied three times was the only 
treatment which had an adverse effect 
on the berry size, but berry weight was 
not affected. These data (together with 
similar data reported in Cranberries,June 
1996 issue, from the 1995 growing sea-
son) certainly indicate that neither is 
there a need for a full fungicide sched-
ule nor should full fungicide rates be 
used in the year after late water. 

Second year after late water 
fungicide study 

Plots were established at the Decas 
Cranberry Co. Mattapoisett #12 bog in 
Mattapoisett. This bed of Early Black 
vines had been held under late water in 
1994, and the first year fungicide studies 
had been conducted here in 1995 in the 
same area. A mid-range (5.5 pt/A) rate 
of Bravo 720 was utilized with a IX, 2X, 

controlled field rot similarly, but the best 
storage rot control was achieved by the 
3X treatment. The only deleterious ef-
fect on berry size or weight was noted for 
the size of the berries from the 2X treatment 
and the weight of the berries from 
the 3X treatment. These were not statis-
tically different from most of the other 

treatments. 

These data indicate that although a 
full fungicide schedule and fungicide 
rate are not required during the second 
year after late water, the grower should 
certainly not eliminate fungicides be-
cause fruit rot inoculum will quickly be-
gin to build up again. 

It should be noted that late water has 
been used successfully on a somewhat 

consistent basis only in Massachusetts, 
and that this cultural practice may not 
be suitable in other growing areas until 
further research is performed.

source of inspiration he says. "Cranberry 
questions keep my interest piqued. Ev-
ery day is different." The aspect of his 
work he least favors is state and univer-
sity beaucracy. "I just want to do science; 
not deal with the politics." 

Roper indicates that he would like to 
travel more into Wisconsin and see more 
cranberry marshes. He would like to see 
the marshes first hand because it is diffi-
cult to visualize the needs of the opera-
tion without first actually seeing it. Also, 
having access to a cranberry marsh ex-

having i / i i

perimental station to do applied research 
would be one way to increase the amount 
and types of research that can be done. 
His goal is to see Wisconsin recognized 
not only as the leading cranberry produc-
ing state, but as the leader in the discov-
ery and dissemination of cCranberry

In addition to the research, Roper is 
also involved with putting together a 
newsletter for Wisconsin growers called 
the Wisconsin Cranberry Crop Manage-
ment Newsletter. This newsletter is pub-
lished ten times a year between May and 
September. It is a unique newsletter be-
cause it combines input from the Uni-
versity, crop consultants, WSCGA and 
handlers, and is financially supported by 
handlers and the Wisconsin Cranberry 
Board. Also, in cooperation with Tod 
Planer and the Wisconsin State Cran-
berry Growers Associaton, Roper participants 
as an organizer and presenter for 
the annual Wisconsin Cranberry School. 

Major changes this year included the 

consolidation of three meetings into one
