Annual report online: The Maryland IPM Program 2003 Annual Report is now online.
Cicada News – The Maryland Cicadamaniacs, with an informative website, continues to be featured in the media. The following appeared in University of Maryland's College of Life Sciences Newsletter:
Faculty and students in the Entomology and Biology Departments continue to answer the community’s questions about the cicada invasion that will begin this month. Most recently, these scientists were filmed April 19 by WTTG-TV News (Washington) instructing the Dining Services catering chef on how to cook the bugs in garlic sauce, and students were taped eating cicadas. This was a warmup for the Cicada Maniacs exhibit at Maryland Day on April 24, where brave guests dared to eat the critters flavored with Old Bay seasoning (see the April 16 NationalGeographic.com article).
Dr. Michael Raupp leads the way in educating the media and the public. As he says in an April 18 Washington Post article, he views the cicadas “as an incredible opportunity to see nature in action. It's predation, sex, reproduction—all the things you learned about in college.” An April 23 NewScientist.com article mentions that Dr. Raupp’s research team will study the brood’s impact on aquatic ecosystems, how the cicadas pick which trees to eat and how to protect plants from cicada damage. Dr. Raupp’s expertise has led to his being quoted or mentioned in, among other sources, the April 14 Annapolis Capital (please scroll down to story); the April 19 U.S. News & World Report (click here); and on WBAL-TV (Baltimore) April 15 (click here). He also manned the computer keyboard for the Washington Post in a Live Online discussion April 19 and appeared on a segment on the campus's UMTV April 11 that was picked up by The Weather Channel.
Entomology doctoral students Rob Ahern and Steve Frank got into the act on April 19 when they explained how the cicada sings to WJLA-TV News (Washington) and took a TV crew on a cicada hunt (WJZ-TV News (Baltimore). In addition, Biology graduate student Holly Menninger is quoted along with Dr. Raupp in an April 18 Baltimore Sun feature that addresses the “ick” factor of the cicada invasion and gives some historical background, such as the fact that the first recorded emergence of the 17-year cicada was in 1633.

Sudden Oak Death Update: Maryland is participating in national surveys of nurseries and the environment to gather information on the distribution of Phytophthora ramorum, the pathogen that causes sudden oak death, a.k.a. ramorum blight. The results of these efforts, and other information, will be posted on the Maryland Department of Agriculture Web site, http://www.mda.state.md.us/plant/sod2004.htm, as they become available.
On Friday, April 30, USDA APHIS confirmed that a composite sample of Rhododendron, received from an out-of-state source by a Maryland garden center, was positive for P. ramorum. MDA is working with UDSA officials to further delimit the infection and identify the source of the material.
MDA is also asking Maryland residents to participate in a homeowner survey to determine if any plants infected with P. ramorum were planted in MD landscapes in the past 12 months. The Maryland Cooperative Extension Home and Garden Information Center, 1.800.342.2507 or http://www.hgic.umd.edu/, is pre-screening calls and providing instructions on how to submit a sample to MDA for testing. For a list of regulated and associated host plants, visit http://www.aphis.usda.gov/ppq/ispm/sod/usdasodlist.html.
Gypsy Moth Activities: The Maryland Department of Agriculture, Forest Pest Management Section is proposing to spray a total of 660 acres this Spring for the suppression of gypsy moth caterpillars. This is the least amount of acreage proposed in the program since operations began in 1980. A total of four spray blocks in two counties, Anne Arundel and Cecil (two spray blocks in each county) comprise the entire project. The marked reduction in proposed acreage this year is due to successful previous suppression projects as well as the wet Spring of 2003 which made conditions favorable for a natural gypsy moth fungus, Entomophaga maimaiga, to flourish. Operations are scheduled to begin on or about Monday, May 10 and continue until the project is complete. Information about the proposed project can be found at the Maryland Department of Agriculture Website (http://www.mda.state.md.us/forestp/gmprog.html).

Clopyrid and grass clippings alert: The NJDEP has issued an alert to turf applicators on the use of clopyralid on turf and problems with use of those grass clippings as mulch. We have posted the alert online as a PDF document for your convenience. Specifically, in Washington, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and California, residues of the pesticide active ingredient "clopyralid" have been detected in compost that includes grass clippings as a source. The NJDEP provides that mulch or compost made from grass clippings treated with clopyralid retains enough of the herbicide to damage sensitive plants in areas where the mulch or compost is used. See the alert for product specifics and damage reported. Courtesy of Dr. Ann Brooks Gould, Assoc. Extension Specialist, Department of Plant Biology and Pathology,Rutgers University, Cook College.
Sudden Oak Death FAQs: See the Rutgers Cooperative Extension web page for a FAQ on sudden oak death (SOD). The website is distinct from other SOD sites in that it addresses the status of the disease and has frequently asked questions specific to NJ. SOD has the potential to be a critical issue for the ornamental nursery industry. At this time, the causal agent, Phytophthora ramorum, has still not been detected in New Jersey. The SOD update will be revised as necessary to keep update any developments as they occur.
New CCA Brochure:
The Mid-Atlantic Certified Crop Advisor program has been working with ASA/CCA to develop a new brochure which outlines the benefits of using CCA's for advice on crop management and production. While the majority of the brochure is generic to all CCA's, the back page includes a portion specifically related to the Mid-Atlantic region.
Copies of the brochure are being sent to all Extension and soil conservation offices in the 5-state region so they are available for their farming clients to read. Additional copies will be provided upon request (while supplies last) to CCA's looking for information to provide to their clients about the advantages of using CCA's. Please let Lynne Hoot of the Mid-Atlantic Certified Crop Advisor Program (phone 410-956-5771, fax 0161) know how many copies you need and where to send them. As you will see from the PDF version these four-color brochures are very attractive and informative.
The brochure has been posted online as a PDF file.

NY Pesticide Management Education Program (PMEP)Organic Vegetable Production Is Explored in New Workshop Proceedings: With increasing concerns about health and the environment, and with the quality and origin of the foods we eat, comes a growing demand for organically grown foods. Commercial vegetable producers growing organically and those contemplating organic vegetable production, as well as educators, researchers, and advisors, will find a new book from NRAES (the Natural Resource, Agriculture, and Engineering Service) a valuable resource.
Organic Vegetable Production, NRAES-165 ($28.00 plus S&H/sales tax; 162 pages; March 2004), is the proceedings of a three-day series of meetings held at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, New York in January 2003. The meetings brought together both university and farmer speakers-all experts in their fields-to share information on the management practices that have worked well for them.
For more information or a free publications catalog, contact NRAES by phone at (607) 255-7654, by fax at (607) 254-8770, or by e-mail at nraes@cornell.edu. To learn more about NRAES and browse through our entire publications catalog, visit our web site at <http://www.nraes.org>.

Corn Rootworm IPM Guaranty Project Underway April 7, 2004: Approximately 50 percent of continuous corn acres are treated with soil insecticide for control of Corn Rootworm (CRW) larvae. Many of these applications could be avoided with the use of crop scouting and IPM treatment thresholds. This new project will establish “check,” or comparison strips on participating fields that were scouted and found to be below threshold for CRW. The check strips will receive a soil insecticide or Yieldgard® Rootworm variety. The balance of the field will not be treated for rootworm. Rootworm feeding damage, lodging and yield at harvest will be compared between the check strip and the untreated portion of the field, and farmers will be compensated if unacceptable damage results.
