Progress 10/01/04 to 09/30/10
Outputs
OUTPUTS: Research implemented in response to prior years needs and priorities: Residue trials conducted in Maine include: 10435.10 ME03 Quinclorac / Blueberry; 028310.10 ME01 Fluazifop /Blueberry, 0380.10 ME02 Tolfenpyrad / blueberry. Discussed IR-4 program progress and displayed IR-4 posters with blueberry growers at Annual field day in Jonesboro, Maine on July 21, 2010. PARTICIPANTS: David Yarborough was project leader, Jennifer DAppollonio, provided technical support as did Judy Collins. All of us participated in Good Laboratory Practices training at the NER Field Research training meeting March 9 - 10 in Geneva, NY TARGET AUDIENCES: Target audience was the 600 wild blueberry growers in Maine PROJECT MODIFICATIONS: Not relevant to this project.
Impacts
Growers of minor crops have fewer pesticides available to them compared to major crops. The IR-4 program is aggressively funding research and residue studies on reduced risk alternative pesticides, so that safer alternatives will be available as those pesticides which present the greatest risk are withdrawn for use on minor crops. This will allow wild blueberry and other minor crop growers to have the minor use pesticides they need to efficiently produce their crops

Progress 10/01/04 to 09/30/05
Outputs
During the summer of 2005, I partcipated in two IR-4 studies, 09224-Potato/Axoxystrobin and P5727.04-Tribenuron-Methyl Blueberry. The potato trial was a residue trial on a pesticide to prevent silver scurf, post-harvest. The treatment has been applied, sampled and shipped to the appropriate lab for analysis. The blueberry trial was an efficacy trial for a herbicide to target the bunchberry weed. This is a continuing trial from last year. Tasks undertaken this year included a rating of bunchberry and blueberry cover and blueberry harvest of treated plots. Our report is being submitted to IR-4 for the project.
