CONTROL OF PEAR PSYLLA WITH PROCLAIM AND FUJIMITE, 2004

CONTROL OF PEAR PSYLLA WITH PROCLAIM AND FUJIMITE, 2004 (A31) PEAR: Pyrus communis (L.), ‘Bartlett’ John E. Dunley Washington State University Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center 1100 N. Western Avenue Wenatchee, WA 98801 Phone: (509)-663-8181 Fax: (509)-662-8714 E-mail: dunleyj@wsu.edu Bruce M. Greenfield Tara M. Madsen Keith Granger Pear psylla (PP): Cacopsylla pyricola (Förster) The test was conducted in a block of mature ‘Bartlett’ pear at the WSU Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center’s Smith Tract plots located near Orondo, WA. Treatments were applied to single trees and replicated four times in a RCB design, and were applied to drip with a handgun sprayer at 200 psi, simulating a dilute spray of 400 gpa. All treatments were made at petal fall (22 Apr). A pre-treatment count of PP density was performed on all treatments 19 Apr. Weekly samples were taken beginning on 23 Apr, and sampling continued through the seventh week after the application. Adults were monitored using four beating tray samples per replicate (16 per treatment). Egg and nymph densities were initially monitored on leaves collected from lower-canopy fruit spurs (25 leaves per replicate, 100 per treatment). Insects were brushed from leaves onto plates using a leaf brushing machine. Each plate was then placed over a grid, and PP eggs and nymphs on one-half of the plate surface were counted under a binocular dissecting microscope. Beginning 27 May, samples were collected from summer shoots at the rate of five leaves per shoot and five shoots per replicate. One sample was collected from the lower canopy of each replicate (100 leaves per treatment), and one from upper canopy summer shoots (100 per treatment). Data were analyzed using the ANOVA option of PRM, and means separations were determined with SNK Least Significant Difference test (P ≤ 0.05). Proclaim with oil, Fujimite, and Agri-Mek with oil were equally effective at control of PP adults (Table 1). With a few exceptions, PP densities in treatments of Proclaim alone were no different from the untreated check. PP nymph densities were best controlled with Fujimite and Agri-Mek, and Proclaim with oil did slightly better than Proclaim alone (Table 2). Efficacy of Proclaim with oil could be due to the effect of oil. Egg densities were very low throughout the trial (Table 3). Table 1.
