17 Management Options Transplanting Trap Cropping Row Covers Chemical
18 Attractiveness to beetles varies with crop type and variety Susceptibility to wilt varies with crop type and variety Plants past the five-leaf stage are less susceptible to bacterial wilt
19 Induced Resistance Zhender et al. have found reduced SCB feeding and wilt incidence on plants treated with PGPR BioYield and other approved products may be able to cause induced resistance Do microbially active soils elicit an induced resistance response?
20 Transplanting Reduces direct plant loss from beetle feeding Reduces time plants are in susceptible stage
21 Cost of Transplants vs Direct Seed (winter squash or pumpkins at 2x6 spacing) Direct seeded Transplanted $260/A $1630/A* $0.45/plant to produce and establish

35 Trap Cropping Choose attractive, wilt tolerant variety for trap crop Surround entire planting, two rows are better than one Arrange main crop such that attractive or susceptible varieties are surrounded by less attractive/susceptible Reduce attractiveness of main crop Surround, BioYield
36 Trap Cropping Reducing second generation beetle production in trap crop Disc up? Apply nematodes to roots? Steinernema riobravis (Ellers-Kirk et al., PA) Heterorhabditis bacteriophora strain GPS-11 (Miller and Welty, OH) Nothing?
37 Costs for Trap Cropping To produce and establish transplants One row - $185 for a square 1A field Two rows - $370 Plus any cost of managing beetles on trap crop
38
39 Row Cover Must be removed at flowering Provides excellent control plus growth enhancement But: Interferes with cultivation Cost: ~ $415/A hoop system ~ $435/A entire field system
40
41 Insecticide Options Per application - cost of materials only Pyganic oz/a - $ /A Reliable kill or just knockdown? lb./a - $ /A Greatly reduced if transplants treated in flats
42 Surround-treated transplants
43 Scouting and Thresholds? Twice weekly scouting during invasion season, keep an eye on maturing fruit later Depends on crop susceptibility to wilt and reliability of control (0.5-2 beetles/plant) Current approved insecticides do not provide reliable control Relying on insecticides alone will not work for organic farmers Integrate a variety of approaches.
