2006 Annual Report 4d.Progress report. This report serves to document research conducted under a Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement with Virginia Tech based on a grant funded by the USDA-CSREES Southern Region IPM program. This agreement provided the means to demonstrate if mass trapping of dogwood borer using the pheromone formulation that we had identified could control this wood-boring pest, thus reducing the need for conventional insecticide applications. At the end of the first trapping season, we have observed a slight decrease in infestation rates in blocks with a high density of traps (8/acre)compared with a low density (2/acre), conventional control (Lorsban treatment), and with the control block. However, we do not expect to observe major differences until the end of the second season (late 2006). This project supplements the parent 1931-21000-015-00D, Integrated Orchard Management and Automation for Deciduous Tree Fruit Crops, by providing detailed information on Component 1 (Integrated Production Systems), problem statement 2 (Integrated Pest Management) in National Program 305.
