<p>It has been a wet start to the month, with parts of New Jersey receiving more than 4 inches of rainfall on Monday alone. On average, 4 inches of rainfall is typical for the whole month of August. With wet and hot conditions this week, the potential for disease pressure will be high and will be a driver in maintaining fungicide coverage in orchards as we approach harvest. Even in orchards without fruit, a minimal fungicide program is recommended to reduce inoculum for the next season.</p>
<p><!-- ================= APPLES (RED) ================= --></p>

<summary style="background: #fde0e0; padding: 10px; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer;">Disease Management Considerations</summary>
<div style="padding: 12px;">
<p>Summer <strong>scab, rots, sooty blotch, and flyspeck</strong> are the main targets at this time and are present in orchards throughout the state (Figure 1). Captan plus a phosphonate-based acid like Prophyt can slow scab development and provide good summer disease control. Add FRAC 7 and 11 single-site products, such as Merivon, Luna Sensation, and Pristine, for improved control. Consider the pre-harvest interval as harvest approaches. Also, read labels and consider restrictions on the number of applications for FRAC 7 + 11 fungicides. Time applications before rain events through the growing season according to the cover spray rule of applications every 2” of rain or 14 days, whichever comes first.</p>

Diseases observed on developing apples.</p></div>
<p>As terminal shoot growth sets, <strong>fire blight </strong>infection will slow. Pruning of blighted shoots should be done in dry weather, cutting 8 to 12 inches below diseased wood. Pruning tools should be sanitized after each cut by dipping them into a 10 percent bleach solution.</p>

<p><strong>Codling Moth (CM)</strong> trap captures increased from the previous weeks. Additional treatments are not recommended unless there are more than 5 moths per trap.</p>

San Jose scale crawlers on maturing apple fruit.</p></div>
<p><strong>Scale </strong>crawlers are active and can be found feeding on fruit (Figure 2). Control options at this point include Assail, Belay, and Venerate (0-day PHI; Make two applications 7 days apart, starting a week after crawler emergence).</p>
<p><strong>Aphid </strong>populations, on average, remain below treatment levels. A treatment threshold is set at 50% of the terminals infested with live colonies. Minimize the use of pyrethroids to manage insect pests, as they can knock down beneficial organisms and predators. <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://rvpadmin.cce.cornell.edu/uploads/doc_1162.pdf">Research</a> from Dr. Monique Rivera at Cornell University has demonstrated good control from Sefina for <strong>Woolly Apple Aphid </strong>in late summer.</p>
<p><strong>Brown Marmorated Stink Bug</strong> adults and nymphs are being captured in orchards statewide. See the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=e002">NJ Tree Fruit Production</a> guide for effective materials on harvesting fruit.</p>
<p><strong>Dogwood borer</strong> continues to be caught in pheromone-baited traps in orchards. Chemical control is not recommended at this time. If trap counts have been high in your orchard blocks, consider mating disruption (i.e., Isomate DWB) for next season, which has been very effective in reducing larval infestations. NOTE: multiyear treatment is recommended for optimal efficacy.</p>

<p>Foliar diseases, including <strong>Fabraea leaf spot and summer rots,</strong> should be managed to protect fruit as we approach harvest. FRAC 7 and 11 fungicides provide good control. Consider the pre-harvest interval (PHI) as we approach harvest. Also, read labels and consider restrictions on the number of applications for FRAC 7 and 11 fungicides. Topsin (FRAC 1) is also a good option for control with a 1-day PHI.</p>
<p>Where <strong>fire blight</strong> is present, it is appropriate to prune out infected shoots. Prune out strikes on dry, cooler days, cut back 8-12” back into healthy tissue, and sterilize pruners between cuts.</p>

<p><strong>Brown rot</strong> incidence remains low, but where fruit is present, rot has been observed (Figure 3). If you are harvesting fruit, this would be a good week to use one of your stronger single-site materials with a low PHI: Indar, Cevya, Orius, Quash, and Tilt (FRAC group 3); and Merivon, Luna Sensation, Pristine, and Quadris Top (FRAC group 11).</p>

<p><strong>Oriental Fruit Moth (OFM) </strong>trap captures have decreased, and flight activity should be ending. Consider treatment if trap captures are above threshold (&gt;8 moths per trap). A few options for late in the season with low PHIs would include Assail (7-day), Baythroid XL (7-day), Danitol (3-day), Delegate (1-day), and Sevin (3-day).</p>
<p><strong>Japanese beetles </strong>are present in orchards and have been persistent this season, feeding in the tree canopy and on fruit. To prevent losses, include neonicotinoid materials such as Assail (7-day PHI), pyrethroids such as Baythroid (7-day), or premix products such as Leverage 360 (7-day). Verdepryn (IRAC 28, 7-day PHI) is also effective.</p>

<p><strong>Scale </strong>crawlers are active in orchards. Options at this point include Assail, Belay (Group 4A), and the bioinsecticide Venerate. These products may provide some late-season suppression where fruit damage is observed. Venerate has a 0-day PHI, making it useful for blocks near or at harvest.</p>
<p><strong>Brown Marmorated Stink Bug </strong>nymphs and adults are active and increasing in orchards. Late-season and pre-harvest control options include Assail (7-day PHI), Brigade (14-day), Danitol (3-day), Leverage 360 (7-day), and Venerate (0-day).</p>
<p><strong>Lesser and greater peachtree borer</strong> trap captures continued to decline this week, although adults remain active, and egg laying is ongoing (Figure 4). Newly hatched larvae feed on the bark before boring into the lower trunk and root crown, where they overwinter and can weaken or kill trees. Growers should begin preparing for post-harvest trunk applications of pyrethroids (Asana or Pounce) or chlorpyrifos, with mid-August through early September generally providing the best timing to target young larvae before they enter the tree. Apply the insecticide thoroughly to the lower trunk, root flare, scaffold crotches, and any cankered areas, following label directions.</p>

<p><strong>Scales </strong>crawler activity of both terrapin scale and Putnam scale slightly increased (Table 3). Monitoring will continue throughout the fall to detect the emergence of the second crawler generation and determine the appropriate timing for pesticide applications. Continued monitoring will help ensure that management recommendations are based on current pest activity and that insecticide applications are made when crawlers are most susceptible. Scale infestations on fruit remain low (Table 4).</p>

<p><strong><em>Weeds</em></strong></p>
<p>Last week, the IPM team monitored 88 fields for weed pressure. The predominant weed species observed across production fields were nutsedge and goosegrass followed by marestail and barnyard grass. This was the last week for assessing weed pressure in the fields.  Based on current field conditions, postemergence herbicide selections should prioritize products with strong activity on annual grass species while considering the existing weed spectrum within individual fields.

<p><strong>Grape berry moth (GBM)</strong> continues to be captured in pheromone-baited traps in vineyards. Where populations have been managed, no further treatment should be needed, particularly as insecticide management shifts to other pests. Monitor for damage to bunches and consider treatment when 10% or more of the bunches show berry webbing and GBM larval feeding injury. See the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=e283">Commercial Grape Pest Control Recommendations for New Jersey</a> for management options.</p>
<p><strong>Spotted </strong><strong>lanternfly</strong><strong> (SLF) </strong>adults are present in vineyards. As we approach September, adult migration into vineyards will increase, at which point we consider applying materials with long residual efficacy. See this previous Plant &amp; Pest Advisory post on <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/help-spotted-lanternfly-nymphs-are-in-my-vineyard/#:~:text=The%20recommendations%20for%20spotted%20lanternfly,Plant%20and%20Pest%20Advisory%20Post.">Management of Spotted Lanternfly in New Jersey Vineyards</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Spotted-Wing Drosophila </strong>trap counts continue to remain high in blueberries in southern counties. Monitoring efforts have shifted to grapes as veraison progresses and ripe fruit becomes vulnerable to infestation.</p>
<p><strong>Grape root borer (GRB) </strong>adults are active and flying in vineyards. Monitoring traps indicate the presence of GRB in the area, but only scouting around the bases of vines will indicate the presence of GRB in the vineyard. Adult moths will lay eggs July-August. Larvae will enter the soil and migrate to the roots, where they feed and cause damage. Dr. Anne Nielsen and the IPM team will be monitoring vineyards throughout the state to assess GRB population pressure in NJ.</p>

<p><b><span data-contrast="auto">Peachtree Borers: </span></b><span data-contrast="auto">Trap captures of both lesser peachtree borer and peachtree borer continued to decline this week, although adults remain active, and egg laying is ongoing. Newly hatched larvae feed on the bark before boring into the lower trunk and root crown, where they overwinter and can weaken or kill trees (Figure 4). Growers should begin preparing for post-harvest trunk applications, with mid-August through early September generally providing the best timing to target young larvae before they enter the tree. Trunk sprays containing </span><span data-contrast="auto">chlorpyrifos (Lorsban), esfenvalerate (Asana XL), and permethrin (Pounce)</span><span data-contrast="auto"> are recommended for borer control. Apply the insecticide thoroughly to the lower trunk, root flare, scaffold crotches, and any cankered areas, following label directions.</span></p>

<p>Broad-spectrum fungicides, such as captan and ziram, are effective. Captan alone may not adequately suppress severe summer disease pressure. Adding single-site products such as Merivon, Luna Sensation, Pristine, Omega, and Aprovia may improve control. The addition of phosphonate products such as ProPhyt or Rampart to captan sprays can improve control of rots and other summer diseases, including sooty blotch and flyspeck.</li>
<li>Time applications ahead of the next rain event, where your fungicide coverage may be depleted.</li>
<li>Where <strong>fire blight</strong> is present, it is appropriate to prune out infected shoots. Do not cut out infections during wet weather, as bacteria can spread through water. The recommendation is to cut back to last year’s growth, at least 12” back into healthy tissue, and to sterilize pruners between cuttings.</li>
<li>Maintain coverage of captan, manzate, or ziram before rain events through the growing season according to the cover spray rule of applications every 2” of rain or 14 days, whichever comes first, to reduce the spread of foliar diseases, including Marssonina Blotch, Glomerella Leaf Spot, and Frogeye Leaf Spot. Foliar diseases can contribute to inoculum build-up in the orchard and significant defoliation of the canopy if left untreated.</li>

<div style="padding: 12px;">
<p><strong>Codling Moth (CM)</strong>: Trap captures are increasing in some orchards, but on average, counts remain low for the second generation of codling moth. If you have applied your 2nd-generation insecticides and your trap counts are low (less than 5 moths per trap), additional treatments are not needed.</p>
<p><strong>Scale:</strong> Second-generation San Jose scale typically emerges about mid-July. We have observed an increase in crawler activity at some locations. Monitor crawler activity by wrapping black electrical tape covered with double-sided sticky tape around branches with previous scale infestations (Figure 2).</p>
<div id="attachment_40039" style="width: 235px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-40039" class="size-medium wp-image-40039" src="https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/SJS-crawlers-tape-225x300.jpg" alt="Monitoring San Jose scale crawlers using electrical tape and double-sided sticky tape on peach tree branch." width="225" height="300" srcset="https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/SJS-crawlers-tape-225x300.jpg 225w, https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/SJS-crawlers-tape-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/SJS-crawlers-tape-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/SJS-crawlers-tape-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/SJS-crawlers-tape-scaled.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px" /><p id="caption-attachment-40039" class="wp-caption-text">Figure 2. Monitoring San Jose scale crawlers using electrical tape and double-sided sticky tape on a peach tree branch.</p></div>
<p>Use a hand lens to detect crawlers on the tape. Control options during crawler emergence include Esteem (2 applications/year; 45-day PHI); Centaur (1 application/year; 14-day PHI); Diazinon 50W (2 applications/year; 21-day PHI); and Venerate (0-day PHI; Make two applications 7 days apart starting a week after crawler emergence). Neonicotinoids will have some suppression.</p>
<p><strong>Woolly Apple Aphid (WAA); Green Apple (Spirea) Aphids (GAA)</strong>: Populations on average remain below treatment levels. A treatment threshold is set at 50% of the terminals infested with live colonies. Predation by lady beetles and other predators and parasitoids has been observed and can help to maintain pest populations below damaging thresholds. Scout in known hotspots for WAA colonies now. Minimize the use of pyrethroids to manage insect pests, as they can knock down beneficial organisms and predators. <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://rvpadmin.cce.cornell.edu/uploads/doc_1162.pdf">Research</a> from Dr. Monique Rivera at Cornell University has demonstrated good control of Sefina for WAA in late summer.</p>
<p><strong>Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs: </strong>Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs are being captured in orchards statewide. Both adults and nymphs are present. See the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=e002">NJ Tree Fruit Production</a> guide for effective materials on harvesting fruit.</p>
<p><strong>Dogwood borer:</strong> On average, moth captures in pheromone traps continue to decrease. If trap captures continue to be high in your orchard blocks, consider a coarse trunk application of Assail before August.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Brown rot</strong> is appearing in ripening fruit throughout the state. Highly effective rot materials include DMI’s Indar, Cevya, Orius, Quash, and Tilt (FRAC group 3), and Strobilurin materials including Merivon, Luna Sensation, Pristine, and Quadris Top (FRAC group 11), which should be applied beginning 3 &#8211; 4 weeks prior to harvest.</li>
<li>There have been reports of declining peach trees exhibiting yellowing foliage, gummosis, and bark splitting. Several samples have been submitted to the Rutgers Plant Diagnostic Laboratory. There has been one report of Cytospora canker and some insect borer injury observed, but overall the damage and decline have been attributed to weather extremes, including drought and significant fluctuations in temperature that have made certain varieties or trees in certain low-lying locations more vulnerable to abiotic stress, and insect and disease injury (Figure 3). The recommendation is to maintain proper irrigation and fertilization and prune out any visible cankers. Be mindful of pruning practices and avoid mechanical damage to trees to minimize injury.</li>

<p><strong>Japanese Beetles:</strong> Japanese beetles have been observed feeding significantly on foliage and fruit. Products containing imidacloprid (Admire Pro, Leverage 360) are effective and may be warranted to protect fruit through to harvest.</p>
<p><strong>Scale:</strong> Second-generation White Peach Scale crawlers should emerge sometime this week or next. Second-generation San Jose Scale crawlers emerge about 7/17 +/- 8 days. Esteem is a good scale material that has a 14-day PHI for stone fruit. Centaur is also effective, has a 14-day PHI, and can be used only once during the growing season. Venerate has shown efficacy as a pre-harvest treatment against scale and has a 0-day PHI. If using Venerate to control scale insects, make 2 applications 7 days apart, starting a week after crawler emergence.</p>
<p><strong>Tarnished plant bugs and other catfacing insects:</strong> Insects are active, but new fruit feeding injury has been minimal.</p>
<p><strong>Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs: </strong>Nymphs are active, and numbers continue to increase in orchards statewide. See the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=e002">NJ Tree Fruit Production</a> guide for effective materials.</p>
<p><strong>Mites:</strong> Outbreaks of mites have been observed in a few orchards as a result of hot and dry weather from the previous week. If left unchecked, mites can build up to the point where leaf bronzing is visible by mid- to late July. If leaf damage is heavy enough, next year‘s crop can even be affected. Consider treatment if more than 10 mites per leaf are observed. Control options include Apollo, Savey, Envidor, Nealta, and Nexter. Try to limit miticide use to one application per material class per season.</p>

<div style="padding: 12px;">
<p>Scouting was conducted last week across 75 conventional and organic blueberry fields in Burlington and Atlantic Counties. Monitoring of developing fruit indicated an overall decrease in pest activity, including feeding and oviposition by leafrollers, plum curculio, and cherry and cranberry fruitworms.</p>
<p><strong>Aphids:</strong> Populations have declined significantly compared with previous weeks, likely due to recent weather conditions and the hardening of new shoot growth.</p>
<p><strong>Spotted-wing drosophila:</strong> Trap captures slightly decreased in both Atlantic and Burlington Counties. SWD remains the primary target for insecticide applications (Table 1). For management recommendations for SWD in blueberry and other berry crops, reference <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1246/">Rutgers Cooperative Extension Factsheet FS1246</a> and <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://go.rutgers.edu/ysiywqyi">SWD Insecticides for Berries</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Blueberry maggot: </strong>Adults are also present at low numbers, particularly in fields where picking and pesticide applications have slowed down.</p>

<p><strong>Scales: </strong>Crawler activity of both terrapin scale and Putnam scale declined over the past week (Table 3). Monitoring will continue throughout the fall to detect the emergence of the second crawler generation and determine the appropriate timing for pesticide applications. Continued monitoring will help ensure that management recommendations are based on current pest activity and that insecticide applications are made when crawlers are most susceptible. Scale infestations on fruit also decreased last week (Table 4). For scale management, target the second generation of crawlers with post-harvest applications of diazinon or pyriproxyfen (Esteem).</p>

<p><strong>Grape berry moth (GBM)</strong>: Third-generation GBM is actively flying and laying eggs. The next timing to apply control for GBM is 1620-1710 DD from the biofix date of wild grape bloom (5/19 for Gloucester County). As of July 20, we are currently at 1659 DD (base 47.14°F) in Gloucester County. Consult the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://newa.cornell.edu/grape-berry-moth">Grape berry moth NEWA model</a> for the most accurate forecasting for your area. Consider treatment when 10% or more of the bunches show berry webbing and GBM larval feeding injury. To determine the percent injury, examine 10 bunches on 5 vines in 4 locations. Often, the greenish-brown larvae can be found inside the berry. See the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=e283">Commercial Grape Pest Control Recommendations for New Jersey</a> for management options.</p>

<p><strong>Japanese beetle (JB)</strong>: Pressure remains high throughout the state with considerable defoliation at some vineyards. See the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=e283">NJ Commercial Grape Production Guide</a> for more information on insecticides effective for JB.</p>
<p><strong>Grape root borer (GRB):</strong> Adults are active and flying in vineyards. Monitoring traps indicate the presence of GRB in the area, but only scouting around the bases of vines will indicate the presence of GRB in the vineyard (Figure 5).</p>
<p>Adult moths will lay eggs July-August. Larvae will enter the soil and migrate to the roots, where they feed and cause damage. Dr. Anne Nielsen and the IPM team will be monitoring vineyards throughout the state to assess GRB population pressure in NJ.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There have been several reports concerning Cyclospora in the news lately and the NJDA and Rutgers Cooperative Extension wanted to update growers as to the status in New Jersey.  Below is a statement from NJDA.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Dear New Jersey Residents and Consumers,</p>
<p>The New Jersey Department of Agriculture wants to emphasize that no produce coming from New Jersey farms has been linked to the cyclosporiasis outbreak. To date,<strong> no </strong>New Jersey-grown produce has been identified as a source of cyclosporiasis cases. National and New Jersey health officials and experts are continuing to investigate the outbreak and monitor any cases.</p>
<p>Our Jersey Fresh farmers meet the high-quality standards imposed not only by their own compliance with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) but also with the quality-grading standards of the Jersey Fresh program.</p>
<p>The New Jersey Department of Agriculture will continue keeping the public informed about any produce categories grown in New Jersey that have been identified by health experts as being a risk.</p>
<p>To help protect against cyclosporiasis and other foodborne illnesses, NJDOH and NJDA recommend:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wash your hands with soap and water before and after preparing fresh fruits and vegetables.</li>
<li>Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water, even if you plan to peel them.</li>
<li>Scrub firm produce, such as melons and cucumbers, with a clean produce brush.</li>
<li>Cut away any damaged or bruised areas on fruits and vegetables before preparing or eating.</li>
<li>Refrigerate cut, peeled, or cooked fruits and vegetables promptly.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Edward D. Wengryn</p>
<p>New Jersey Secretary of Agriculture</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<item><title>Corn Lodging Reported Following Extreme Heat and Storm Events in Southern New Jersey</title><link>https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/959783432/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Reports of corn lodging have been coming from multiple locations across southern New Jersey (NJ) since last Sunday (July 5, 2026). We had a period of extreme heat across much of central and southern NJ from July 2 to 4, witnessing daytime temperatures reached 95 to 100&#xB0;F and heat index values ranged between 105 and 115&#xB0;F. Right after that, we had weekend thunderstorms that caused locally heavy rainfall and strong winds, resulting in saturated soil and decreased root grip/anchorage in corn fields. The rapid transition from extended heat-induced stress to wet soil conditions and strong winds led to conditions conducive for root lodging, particularly in early planted (rapidly growing) corn with compromised root systems.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Assessing the Type of Lodging&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Farmers are advised to wait for three to seven days (or until the field conditions allow) after the lodging event to check their fields to determine the type and extent of injury. Two types of wind injury are commonly seen in corn:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Root lodging:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Plants get displaced from the vertical, but the stalk remains intact. Roots are partially displaced/lifted while staying attached to the ground. Generally, these plants recover naturally by bending upward over the following several days through normal gravitropic (against the direction of gravity) growth.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Green or Stalk Snap (breaking of stalk):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Stalks are broken from below or near the ear. In this case, affected plants cannot recover so they directly contribute to the yield loss, which is generally in proportion to the percentage of broken plants.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management Recommendations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no direct management practice that can reinstate corn to its pre-lodged position. Instead, management is mainly focused on minimizing additional stress, allowing the crop time to recover, and evaluating potential impacts on yield.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Farmers are advised to allow time (three to seven days) for recovery before making final evaluations on root-lodged corn fields. Corn expresses negative gravitropism, by which the plants that have their root systems still intact, will naturally stand back upright, often developing the characteristic &amp;#8220;gooseneck&amp;#8221; appearance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It is not suggested to manually straighten lodged plants. Attempting to unbend or stand plants upright can damage root systems and increase plant stress, often causing more injury than benefit.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It is advised to delay non-essential field traffic/operations until soil is sufficiently dry to reduce additional root injury, soil compaction, and mechanical damage to lodged plants. Bringing equipment in lodged corn fields causes more yield loss than the lodging itself.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Farmers are encouraged to continue scouting their fields for foliar diseases and stalk rots. Lodged plants usually stay wetter for long durations, providing conditions conducive for diseases such as gray leaf spot, northern corn leaf blight, and tar spot (where present). Plants injured by wind are more prone to stalk rots later in the season. Routine disease scouting should continue. Fungicide applications should not be justified by lodging alone. However, fungicide decisions should be guided by i) what the growth stage of crops is, ii) how much the disease pressure is, iii) how vulnerable the hybrid is, iv) what the weather conditions are, and v) what is the expected yield goal.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Farmers are advised to evaluate the potential for nitrogen loss. For example, if heavy rainfall resulted in prolonged soil saturation, the likelihood of nitrogen loss should be assessed taking denitrification or leaching into account, which is very notable on southern NJ&#x2019;s coarse-textured or poorly drained soils. Supplemental nitrogen should only be applied if field conditions, crop growth stage, and expected yield response justify additional applications.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fields should be reassessed after one week. Fields that stay severely lodged even after five to seven days may have suffered more substantial root injury and should be monitored closely throughout the rest of the growing season.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It is advised to keep monitoring the stalk quality to help prioritize harvest (if and where needed). Wind-damaged fields should be scouted later in the season for stalk deterioration and increased lodging potential. Fields with decline in stalk quality should be prioritized for harvest to minimize additional yield losses.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Affected farmers are advised to document and report affected acreage and estimated losses to their local USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) office. Accurate reporting will be helpful in documenting the extent of damage and in supporting the evaluation of potential disaster assistance (if applicable).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In case of suspected significant damage and if insured, it is suggested to make timely communication with the crop insurance provider (if warranted) and to follow policy requirements before making management decisions that could affect claim evaluation.&lt;/li&gt;

<div style="padding: 12px;">
<ul>
<li><strong>Bitter rot </strong>symptoms observed in southern and northern counties.</li>
<li>Hot, humid weather will increase the risk of fruit rots, including white rot, bitter rot, black rot, sooty blotch, and flyspeck.</li>
<li>Cultural control practices will help to minimize impact from disease in orchards: prune for improved air circulation, thin fruit clusters to reduce humidity and inoculum buildup, and cut out cankers that serve as inoculum sources.</li>
<li>Broad-spectrum fungicides, such as captan and ziram, are effective. Captan alone may not adequately suppress severe summer disease pressure.</li>
<li>Adding single-site products such as Merivon, Luna Sensation, Pristine, Omega, and Aprovia may improve control. The addition of phosphonate products such as ProPhyt or Rampart to captan sprays can improve control of rots and other summer diseases, including sooty blotch and flyspeck. It may help suppress scab infections when present.</li>
<li>Where <strong>fire blight</strong> is present, it is appropriate to prune out infected shoots. Do not cut out infections during wet weather, as bacteria can spread through water. The recommendation is to cut back to last year’s growth, at least 12” back into healthy tissue, and to sterilize pruners between cuttings.</li>
<li>Maintain coverage of captan, manzate, or ziram before rain events through the growing season according to the cover spray rule of applications every 2” of rain or 14 days, whichever comes first, to reduce the spread of foliar diseases, including Marssonina Blotch, Glomerella Leaf Spot, and Frogeye Leaf Spot. Foliar diseases can contribute to inoculum build-up in the orchard and significant defoliation of the canopy if left untreated.</li>
<li>Rainy seasons require tighter fungicide intervals to maintain coverage. Consider refreshing fungicide protection before major rain events.</li>

<p>Control options during crawler emergence include Neonicotinoids (suppression only), Sivanto, Esteem, and Centaur. See also the scale discussion under the peach section.</p>
<p><strong>Woolly Apple Aphid (WAA); Green Apple (Spirea) Aphids (GAA)</strong>: Populations continue to build in some orchards statewide, but on average remain below treatment levels. A treatment threshold is set at 50% of the terminals infested with live colonies. Predation by lady beetles and other predators and parasitoids has been observed and can help to maintain pest populations below damaging thresholds. Scout in known hotspots for WAA colonies now. Minimize use of pyrethroids to manage insect pests, including Brigade and Mustang Max, which can flare pest populations and knock down beneficial organisms and predators. Movento will control WAA and GAA and can suppress scale when crawlers are active. <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://rvpadmin.cce.cornell.edu/uploads/doc_1162.pdf">Research</a> from Dr. Monique Rivera at Cornell University has demonstrated good control from Sefina for WAA and can be considered instead of late Movento applications.</p>

<p><strong>Potato leafhopper (PLH): </strong>Adults and nymphs are present and increasing in apple orchards throughout the state. Feeding damage from PLH results in “hopperburn” symptoms, which include browning &amp; necrosis along leaf margins, along with leaf curling and stunting (Figure 3).</p>
<p>Consider treatment, particularly on young, non-bearing fruit trees. The preferred materials for leafhopper control include Actara, Admire, Assail, Belay, Endigo, and Voliam Flexi.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrosia Beetle</strong>: Trap captures have been low in orchards across the state. Monitor for signs of stress or infested trees with “toothpicks” from boring activity and consider trunk sprays if needed.</p>
<p><strong>Dogwood borer:</strong> Adult male moths caught in pheromone traps decreased significantly from previous weeks, indicating peak flight activity is coming to an end.</p>

<p>Delegate or Entrust at the highest labeled rate are the usual recommended materials for thrips present in stone fruit. Time applications starting at petal fall to reduce injury. Lannate also has activity on thrips. These materials all have short PHI&#8217;s and may be applied close to harvest where thrips are observed.</p>
<p><strong>Tarnished plant bugs and other catfacing insects:</strong> Insects are active, but new fruit feeding injury has been minimal.</p>
<p><strong>Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs: </strong>Brown Marmorated Stink bugs are present at low to moderate levels and numbers are increasing from previous weeks in orchards statewide. Eggs are hatching and nymphs are present (Figure 6).

<p>Scouting was conducted last week across 119 conventional and organic blueberry fields in Burlington and Atlantic Counties.</p>
<p>This week, the IPM monitoring team observed signs of cherry fruitworm infestation in developing fruit, although infestation levels remain low.</p>
<p><strong>Aphids: </strong>Aphid populations remain low at an average of 1–5 aphids per shoot.</p>
<p><strong>Spotted-wing drosophila &amp; Blueberry maggot:</strong> Trap captures increased in both Atlantic and Burlington Counties for spotted-wing drosophila. An increase in blueberry maggot trap captures were observed in Atlantic County (Table 1).</p>

<p>The IPM team continues to observe higher levels of anthracnose than in the previous week. The recent wet weather is conducive for anthracnose development on berries. Fungicide applications are still merited in fields where anthracnose has been reported. Phosphite materials are effective and have a 0-day PHI.</p>
<p>Additionally, mummy berry and Alternaria have been observed during scouting. The increased incidence of Alternaria is most likely associated with fruit injury caused by mechanical harvesting.</p>
<p>For fungicide recommendations, refer to the Rutgers Blueberry Commercial Production Guide or  <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://extension.rutgers.edu/sites/default/files/2026-03/bb-v42n01.pdf">https://extension.rutgers.edu/sites/default/files/2026-03/bb-v42n01.pdf</a></p>

<p><strong>Grape Berry Moth (GBM):</strong> Second generation adult GBM continue to be captured in pheromone traps and larval activity in bunches has been observed. The degree day timing to treat the second generation has passed. Second generation grape berry moth is not an automatic pest problem in New Jersey vineyards. The need for control is determined by examining bunches for larval activity, beginning in early‐July. An insecticide application is warranted when 5% of the bunches display larval feeding signs.</p>
<p><strong>Japanese beetle:</strong> Japanese beetles are present in vineyards feeding on foliage. While established vines can tolerate some foliar injury, young or stressed vines are more susceptible to damage. If damage is severe, Assail, Baythroid, Belay, Danitol, or Sevin should provide the necessary control.</p>
<p><strong>Spotted lanternfly:</strong> Population levels have been variable across the state, with average counts of nymphs remaining low compared to previous years. Fourth instars have been recently observed.</p>

<p>Powdery mildew is present in some orchards and needs to be managed through July (Figure 2). If you see apple scab lesions on your cluster leaves, products such as Merivon, Luna Sensation, Prophyt, or Inspire Super can be applied to burn them out. These products also work well on powdery mildew. In periods of hot days with high humidity and no rain, sulfur (e.g., Microthiol Disperss at 10 lb./A) can be applied.</p>

<p><strong>Fire blight:</strong> Where shoot blight symptoms are present, it is appropriate to prune out infected shoots. Do not cut out infections during wet weather, as bacteria can spread through water. The recommendation is to cut back to last year’s growth, at least 12” back into healthy tissue, and to sterilize pruners between cuttings.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Rots:</strong> Hot, humid weather will increase the risk of fruit rots, including white rot, bitter rot, black rot, sooty blotch &amp; flyspeck. Bitter rot has been observed in southern county orchards (Figure 3).</p>
<p>Broad-spectrum fungicides, such as captan and ziram, are effective, and adding single-site products such as Merivon, Luna Sensation, Pristine, Omega, and Aprovia may improve control. The addition of phosphonate products such as ProPhyt or Rampart to captan sprays can improve control of rots and other summer diseases, including sooty blotch and flyspeck. It may help suppress scab infections when present.</p>
<p><strong>Marssonina Blotch, Glomerella Leaf Spot, and Frogeye Leaf Spot:</strong> Maintain coverage of captan, manzate, or ziram before rain events through the growing season according to the cover spray rule of applications every 2” of rain or 14 days, whichever comes first.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Scale:</strong> Crawler emergence continues and has increased in some orchards. Control options during crawler emergence include Neonicotinoids (suppression only), Sivanto, Esteem, and Centaur. See also the scale discussion under the peach section.</p>
<p><strong>Woolly Apple Aphid (WAA); Green Apple (Spirea) Aphids (GAA)</strong>: Populations continue to build in some orchards statewide, but on average remain below treatment levels. A treatment threshold is set at 50% of the terminals infested with live colonies. Predation by lady beetles and other predators has been observed and can help to maintain pest populations below damaging thresholds. As the terminals stop growing and harden, aphid populations should decrease. Movento will control WAA and GAA and can suppress scale when crawlers are active.</p>
<p><strong>Potato leafhopper (PLH): </strong>Adults and nymphs are present and increasing in apple orchards throughout the state. Feeding damage from PLH results in <span style="font-size: 16px;">“hopperburn” symptoms, which include browning &amp; necrosis along leaf margins, along with leaf curling and stunting (Figure 5).</span></p>
<div id="attachment_39860" style="width: 184px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-39860" class=" wp-image-39860" src="https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/potato-leafhopper-injury2-225x300.jpeg" alt="Potato leafhopper injury in new apple shoots." width="174" height="232" /><p id="caption-attachment-39860" class="wp-caption-text">Figure 5. Potato leafhopper injury in new apple shoots.<span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></p></div>
<p>Consider treatment, particularly on young, non-bearing fruit trees. The preferred materials for leafhopper control include Actara, Admire, Assail, Belay, Endigo, and Voliam Flexi.</p>
<p><strong>Ambrosia Beetle</strong>: Trap captures continue to increase in some orchards, while other orchards, particularly in the south, have had a decrease in trap captures. Monitor signs of stress or infested trees with “toothpicks” from boring activity and consider trunk sprays if needed.</p>
<p><strong>Dogwood borer:</strong> We continue to capture a high number of males in pheromone traps across orchards statewide. Mating disruption is recommended and effective for this pest and should be considered for next season in blocks with a history of infestation. Assail has demonstrated activity when targeting adults to reduce egg laying.

<p><strong>Japanese Beetles:</strong> Japanese beetles have been observed feeding in orchards. Products containing imidacloprid (Admire Pro, Leverage 360) are effective and have a short preharvest interval.</p>
<p><strong>Scale:</strong> Crawler emergence is active in orchards across the state. If crawlers are present, treatment options include Movento, Esteem, Centaur, Sivanto, and neonicotinoids (for suppression only). Movento, Esteem, and Centaur should be applied at the start of crawler emergence.</p>
<p><strong>Thrips:</strong> We continue to observe moderate thrips activity in orchards throughout the state. Delegate or Entrust at the highest labeled rate are the usual recommended materials for thrips present in stone fruit. Lannate also has activity on thrips. These materials all have short PHI&#8217;s and may be applied close to harvest where injury is observed.</p>
<p><strong>Tarnished plant bugs and other catfacing insects:</strong> Insects are active, but new fruit feeding injury has been minimal.</p>
<p><strong>Lesser and Greater Peach Tree Borers:</strong> We continue to trap high numbers of both species. If this has been a historical pest in your orchard, mating disruption is recommended. Continue monitoring and managing as usual in problem blocks with mating disruption or trunk sprays.</p>

Aphid populations increased compared with the previous week, although average colony sizes remain low, with approximately 1–5 aphids per infested shoot (Table 1).</p>

<p>We continue to capture Grape berry moth in pheromone traps, which have slightly increased in number, indicating adults are actively in flight. Applications for GBM using Intrepid or Diamides should be made at 810 DD base 47°F from wild grape or native grape varieties (Concords were at trace bloom on 5/19 in southern counties). Other effective materials can be applied a few days later. We are past the projected treatment window as predicted by the NEWA <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://newa.cornell.edu/grape-berry-moth">Grape Berry Moth model</a>; however, you can monitor bunches to determine if further treatment is needed. Check especially on edge rows near the woods. If 5% of clusters show damage, then treatment is justified.</p>
<p>Japanese beetle pressure is increasing in vineyards throughout the state. Vines with well-developed canopies can withstand some Japanese beetle pressure, but where vines are stressed and vigor is reduced, see the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=e283">NJ Commercial Grape Production Guide</a> for more information on insecticides effective against this pest.</p>

<p>If needed, post-pollination sprays—particularly for <strong>Sparganothis fruitworm</strong> (Picture 1) and <strong>spotted fireworm </strong>(Picture 2)—should be applied as soon as bees are removed. Sparganothis fruitworm is monitored using pheromone traps to assess adult flight activity and abundance. If trap counts are high and no insecticide has yet been applied, treatment should be considered promptly to prevent berry damage.</p>
<p><strong>Sparganothis fruitworm</strong></p>

<p>Where pheromone trap catches are high, management should begin soon after bee removal. The optimal timing for the first post-pollination spray is approximately two weeks after peak moth catch, which typically coincides with the 1<sup>st</sup>-2<sup>nd</sup> week in July.</p>
<p><strong>Spotted fireworm</strong></p>
<p>Spotted fireworm is one of the most important pests in New Jersey cranberry production. Male moth catches typically peak during the second to third week of June. While trap catches provide an indication of population levels, they do not always correlate well with egg mass abundance. This pest is particularly problematic in weedy beds, where females preferentially lay eggs on weeds, such as brier, red maple, redroot, and leatherleaf. For this reason, monitoring for egg masses on weeds is essential. Maintaining clean, weed-free beds is an important component of management. Egg masses are typically hatching at this time of year, and larvae from this generation will feed on both foliage and fruit.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Insect growth regulators (IGRs), such as Intrepid, are effective against Sparganothis fruitworm and spotted fireworm. If IGRs have been used intensively (e.g., in pre-bloom or bloom applications over the past one to two seasons), rotation to alternative chemistries is recommended. Options include Altacor, Delegate, Exirel, or broad-spectrum insecticides such as Diazinon. Broad-spectrum materials may also be preferred where blunt-nosed leafhopper populations are high, since Intrepid, Delegate, and Altacor do not provide control of this pest.</p>
<p><strong>Root-feeding insects and imidacloprid use</strong></p>
<p>If cranberry beds show signs of damage from root-feeding insects, treatment with imidacloprid (e.g., Admire Pro and generics) should be considered immediately after bee removal (mid-July). Dead patches of vines are often indicative of root-feeding injury (Picture 3). Affected areas should be inspected by pulling dead vines and examining the root zone and surrounding soil for grubs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Imidacloprid is labeled for control of rootworm (Picture 4), root grubs (<em>Phyllophaga</em> spp.), and other scarab beetles in cranberries. It acts as a contact and stomach poison affecting the insect nervous system and is highly systemic. Because it is highly toxic to honey bees, it must only be used post-pollination.</p>

<item><title>Nutrient and Management Tips for New Jersey Soybean Production</title><link>https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/958462409/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/</link><description>&lt;p&gt;In New Jersey, soybeans generally do well in terms of productivity, but final yield largely depends on early-season soil conditions, balanced plant nutrition, and timely field management, particularly in sandy soil areas of the Coastal Plain and Southern part of New Jersey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Importance of early-season establishment &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The final yield potential (to be achieved later in the season) of soybean largely depends on how the crop established early in the season. If there is a poor emergence or is nutrient deficiency in early growth stages, it can decrease the final number of pods per acre and slow down the canopy growth. So, primary areas of focus during the early season are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To ensure uniformity in planting depth and better seed-to-soil contact for better emergence/stand count.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To avoid planting into cold/wet soil to save emerging seeds from cold injury.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;To ensure strong nodulation for better rhizobium activity.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nutrients Management Considerations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soybeans, being a leguminous crop, don&#x2019;t need nitrogen (for the most part as they can fix most of their nitrogen needs by themselves), but they need other nutrients:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Phosphorus for early root development (to absorb water/nutrients and to anchor the plant in the soil) and nodulation. Very high (more than optimum) levels of phosphorus were seen in many New Jersey soils so, no phosphorus fertilizer is recommended for such soils. However, for the soils showing high/optimum phosphorus levels, it is still suggested to apply phosphorus at least in amount equivalent to that is removed by the soybean crop (40 lbs. P&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O&lt;sub&gt;5&lt;/sub&gt;/acre for a 40 Bu/acre of grain yield).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Potassium for water regulation and pod fill (determinant of final yield). To the soils showing potassium in high levels, it is still needed to apply 55 lbs. of K&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O/acre for a 40 Bu/acre of grain yield, to account for the potassium removed by the soybean crop. For soils showing below optimum potassium levels, the rate of potassium is recommended to be higher than the 55 lbs. of K&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O/acre, depending on what the yield goal is. For a yield goal of 40 Bu/acre, if potassium levels are below optimum, potassium recommendations are to apply between 70-170 lb. K&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;O/acre depending on the potassium levels (180-0 lbs. K/acre) shown in soil test (Mehlich-3). Also, it is important to mention the fields with soybean planted as a double crop, where potassium removal from the preceding small grain crop should be accounted for in fertilization planning by adjusting the soil test potassium results to avoid early season potassium deficiency. For example, a 45 Bu/acre soybean crop removes roughly 100&#x2013;114 lb. K/acre (120&#x2013;137 lb. K&#x2082;O/acre) from soil when potassium removed by the preceding small grain crop and its straw is also included with the potassium removed by soybean grain.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sulfur has been increasingly becoming critical for last two decades, especially in highly leached, low organic matter, and sandy soils because of the decrease in natural sulfur deposits in soil owing to the stricter environmental regulations after the enactment of clean air act of 1990. Sulfur recommendations for soybeans are 20-40 lbs./acre (if broadcasted) or 20-30 lbs./acre (banded).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manganese is the micronutrient that is seen deficient in most of the South Jersey&#x2019;s coarse textured soils. The deficiency is visible in the form of green veins with yellowness appearing between the veins. For soils having the history of Manganese deficiency, recommendations are 15 lbs./acre (broadcast) or 5 lbs./acre (banded) of Manganese, if applied by soil. If a foliar application, recommendations are to apply three times (1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; application as soon as the symptoms appear, 2&lt;sup&gt;nd&lt;/sup&gt; application on later vegetative stage, and 3&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; at early pod stage) with each application of 0.5-2.0 lbs./acre.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Maintaining pH between 6.2 and 6.8 is generally good for all nutrient&amp;#8217;s availability. However, if pH is outside this range, the nutrients that are present in the soil still become unavailable to the soybean plant.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In many New Jersey soybean fields, mild potassium and sulfur deficiencies are more prevalent compared to visible nitrogen deficiency.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management specific to the Southern New Jersey Soils&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Southern New Jersey&#x2019;s sandy soils lose nutrients rapidly due to high leaching, lose moisture faster during reproductive stages, and encounter nutrient stress even when soil test results say, &#8220;adequate level&#8221;. Therefore, split or targeted nutrient management and regular soil testing are very helpful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In-season crop management &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At R1 (flowering stage) to R3 (early pod set stage), it is suggested 1) to be watchful for yellowing on leaves or uneven canopy development, 2) to keep checking if nodulation working effectively (red/pink nodules signify better nitrogen fixation), and 3) to ensure no hidden potassium or sulfur deficiency, especially when high rainfall occurs (high leaching rate).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Takeaways (Summary)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Improved soybean yields in New Jersey are tied to 1) good early season establishment, 2) balanced nutrition of phosphorus, potassium (especially in double-crop soybean), sulfur, and manganese, 3) prudent monitoring of nutrient losses in sandy soils, and 4) timely field scouting during flowering and pod set. Taken together, productivity of New Jersey soybeans relies less on high inputs, but more on early-season balance (nutrition) and timely monitoring.&lt;/p&gt;

<p><b>Apple scab, cedar apple rust, and powdery mildew:</b> Few apple scab lesions have been found in orchards throughout the state. Mildew infections have also been observed on leaves in several orchards with a history of the disease. This past week, cedar apple rust symptoms were also reported at several orchards throughout the state (Figure 1). If you see apple scab lesions on your cluster leaves, products such as Merivon, Luna Sensation, ProPhyt, or Inspire Super can be applied to burn them out. These products also work well on powdery mildew. In periods of hot days with high humidity and no rain, sulfur (e.g., Microthiol Disperss at 10 lb./A) can be applied. Do not tank mix captan and sulfur. Powdery mildew needs to be managed through July.</p>

<p><b>Fire blight:</b> Shoot blight symptoms increased over the past week. When blight is present, it is appropriate to prune out infected shoots. Do not cut out infections during wet weather, as bacteria can spread through water. The recommendation is to cut back to last year’s growth, at least 12” back into healthy tissue, and to sterilize pruners between cuttings.</p>
<p><b>Rots:</b> Hot, humid weather like we experienced last week will increase the risk of fruit rots, including white rot, bitter rot, black rot, sooty blotch, and flyspeck. White rot was observed in South Jersey apple orchards this week, underscoring the importance of maintaining protective fungicide coverage during periods conducive to disease development. Broad-spectrum fungicides, such as captan and ziram, are effective, and adding single-site products, including Merivon, Luna Sensation, Pristine, Omega, and Aprovia, may improve control. The addition of phosphorous acid products such as ProPhyt or Rampart to captan sprays can improve control of rots and other summer diseases, such as sooty blotch and flyspeck, and may help suppress scab infections when present.</p>
<p><b>Marssonina Blotch, Glomerella Leaf Spot, and Frogeye Leaf Spot:</b> In orchards with reduced spray programs, we continue to see increases in frogeye leaf spot. These diseases should be managed, as they will cause defoliation and provide a source of inoculum for black rot and bitter rot next season. Maintain coverage of captan, manzate, or ziram before rain events through the growing season according to the cover spray rule of applications every 2” of rain or 14 days, whichever comes first.</p>

<p><b>Codling Moth (CM):</b> Biofix has been set for southern counties as of April 20 and in northern counties as of May 5. Although we are past the model timings for CM, some orchards with a history of injury continue to experience trap captures above the threshold (5 moths per trap); further treatment may be needed.</p>

Frass, or chewed wood, looks like &#8220;toothpicks&#8221; being pushed out from the trunk where the ambrosia beetle is boring into the tree.</p></div>
<p><b>Tufted Apple Bud Moth (TABM):</b> Trap counts have decreased from the previous week. This has been a minor pest in recent years, and many materials used for codling moth will also control TABM, including Lannate, Delegate, diamides, and Intrepid. The timing for management of the first generation has ended.</p>
<p><b>Scale:</b> Crawler emergence was reported at the end of May and will continue for the next 6 weeks. Control options during crawler emergence include Neonicotinoids (suppression only), Sivanto, Esteem, and Centaur. See also the scale discussion under the peach section.</p>
<p><b>Woolly Apple Aphid (WAA); Green Apple (Spirea) Aphids (GAA):</b> Populations continue to build in some orchards statewide, but on average remain below treatment levels. A treatment threshold is set at 50% of the terminals infested with live colonies. Predation by lady beetles and other predators has been observed and can help maintain pest populations below damaging thresholds. As the terminals stop growing and harden, aphid populations should decrease. Movento will control WAA and GAA and can suppress scale when crawlers are active.</p>
<p><b>Ambrosia Beetle:</b> Trap captures have started to increase. Monitor signs of stress or infested trees with “toothpicks” from boring activity (Figure 2).</p>
<p><b>Dogwood borer:</b> We continue to capture a high number of males in pheromone traps across orchards statewide. Mating disruption is recommended and effective for this pest and should be considered for next season in blocks with a history of infestation. Assail has demonstrated activity when targeting adults to reduce egg laying.

<div style="padding: 12px;">
<p><strong>Grape Berry Moth (GBM):</strong> Adult GBM captures in pheromone traps have slightly increased, indicating the start of the second-generation flight. Applications targeting GBM with Intrepid or diamide insecticides should be made at 810 DD (base 47°F) from wild grape bloom or native grape varieties (Concords were at trace bloom on May 19 in southern counties). Other effective materials can be applied a few days later.</p>
<p>As of June 16, Gloucester County has accumulated 637 DD (base 47°F), placing the projected treatment window between June 22–26. The <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://newa.cornell.edu/grape-berry-moth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NEWA Grape Berry Moth Model</a> works best when growers enter their own bloom dates. Since bloom has been highly variable this season, growers may also use January 1<sup>st</sup> as a biofix. Using a January 1<sup>st</sup> biofix, second-generation treatments should be timed at 1200–1400 DD (base 47°F). Refer to the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=e283" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Commercial Grape Pest Control Recommendations for New Jersey</a> for specific management options.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Adult GBM captures have remained low, and delayed fruit development has been observed across the state. To determine whether treatment is warranted, monitor clusters several days before the anticipated spray timing, particularly on vineyard edges adjacent to wooded areas. Treatment is justified when 5% of clusters show injury.</p>

<br>Figure 4. Corolla tissue is still attached to developing grapes.</p></div>
<p>Bloom is the critical period for protecting clusters from downy mildew, powdery mildew, black rot, Botrytis bunch rot, and ripe rot. Additional information on bloom-time fungicide programs is available in <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://ext.grapepathology.org/frost-disease-risks-and-a-downy-forecast" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this Virginia Tech blog post</a> by Dr. Mizuho Nita.</p>
<p>During bloom, we have observed corolla tissue remaining attached to developing fruit (Figure 4).</p>
<p>Cool, damp conditions favor Botrytis development, and infections can establish on retained corolla tissue. Therefore, maintaining fungicide coverage for Botrytis as fruit develops will be important. Recommended materials can be found in the <a href="http://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/plantpestadvisoryfruit/~https://njaes.rutgers.edu/pubs/publication.php?pid=E283" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Jersey Commercial Grape Production Guide</a>.</p>
