Progress 09/01/10 to 08/19/15

Progress Report Objectives (from AD-416): To obtain efficacy and residual data of insecticides, miticides, herbicides and fungicides on vegetable crops and ornamentals against insects and mites. Approach (from AD-416): Field evaluations of insecticides, miticides, fungicides, and herbicides will be conducted on vegetable and ornamental crops. Research will be conducted according to IR-4 protocols and good laboratory practices. No specific treatments can be mentioned ahead of time because program needs change depending on industry requests. Residue samples will be assayed by appropriate federal, state, or private laboratories. This project is terminating during this annual reporting cycle. During the life of the project, 65 food crop trials and 67 ornamental crop trials were conducted with insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides for pesticide residues and performances. Field data were collected in cooperation with the IR-4 Project (formerly named Interregional Research Project #4) and cooperating crop protection industries. The IR-4 project is a national minor use pesticide program. Food crop residue and performance trials with insecticides, fungicides and herbicides were conducted for food crop studies. Also, pesticide performance trials were conducted for ornamental crop studies. Food crop samples were provided to cooperators for pesticide residue analyses, and completed field data books were provided to the IR-4 Project headquarters. This work supports the registration of needed pest control compounds on specialty crops, and the pesticides will eventually be available for use by growers. Research will continue under new project #0500-00007-110-00D, titled: Pesticide Trials in Vegetable and Ornamental Crops to Support the IR-4 Program. Accomplishments 01 Research supporting the registration of pesticides on vegetable crops. Because of a need for data to support the registration of pesticides on vegetable crops, ARS researchers developed information at the Charleston, South Carolina U.S. Vegetable Laboratory, in cooperation with the IR-4 Project (formerly named Interregional Research Project #4) and cooperating crop protection industries. Research with insecticides, fungicides and herbicides were completed for seven residue food crop studies including: one insecticide trial on watermelon; four herbicide trials on mustard greens, edamame (vegetable soybean) and dill; and two fungicide trials on onion and pea. During the life of the project, 65 food crop trials were conducted with insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides. Results from this work are being used to support the registration of needed pesticides on specialty crops, and the pesticides will subsequently be available for use by growers. 02 Research supporting the registration of pesticides on ornamental crops. Because of a need for data to support the registration of pesticides on ornamental crops, ARS researchers developed information at the Charleston, South Carolina U.S. Vegetable Laboratory, in cooperation with the IR-4 Project (formerly named Interregional Research Project #4) and cooperating crop protection industries. Research with 13 insecticide and herbicide performance trials were completed for ornamental crop studies on Hydrangea species, Hedera species, Alyssum species, Hibiscus species, Coreopis species, Festuca ovina glauca, Calamagrostis acutiflora, Nassella tenuissima, Muhlenbergia capillaaris, Andropogon gerardii, Juncus effsus, Calamagrostis acutiflora and Juncus effuses. During the life of the project, 67 ornamental crop trials were conducted with insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides. Results from this work are being used to support the registration of needed pesticides on specialty crops, and the pesticides will subsequently be available for use by growers.

The IR-4 Project is a national minor use pesticide program headquartered at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Research with insecticides, fungicides and herbicides were completed for 16 food crop studies (12 residue trials on cabbage, cantaloupe, cilantro, cucumber, dill, lettuce, mustard greens, onion, rosemary, and squash; and 4 herbicide and fungicide performance trials on cilantro, dill, mustard greens, and rosemary). Also, insecticide and fungicide performance trials were completed for 11 ornamental crop studies. Results from this work are being used to support the registration of needed pesticides on specialty crops. Many of the studied pesticides will subsequently be available for use by growers.

The IR-4 project is a national minor use pesticide program. Residue and performance trials with fungicides were completed for 13 food crop studies (9 residue trials on basil, cabbage, cantaloupe, cucumber, squash, and tomato; 4 performance trials on bell pepper, cucumber, squash and tomato). Insecticide and fungicide performance trials were also completed for 11 ornamental crop studies. Crop samples were provided to cooperators for pesticide residue analyses, and completed field data books were provided to the IR-4 Project headquarters. Established protocols were followed in the conduct of all IR-4 studies. Accomplishments 01 Research supporting the registration of pesticides on vegetable and ornamental crops. Because of a need for data to support the registration of pesticides on vegetable and ornamental crops, ARS researchers developed information about the use of experimental materials at Charleston, SC, in cooperation with the IR-4 Project and various crop protection industries. Research on fungicides were completed for 13 food crop studies. Also, insecticide and fungicide performance trials were completed for 11 ornamental crop studies. Results from this work are being used to support the registration of needed pesticides on specialty crops, and the pesticides will subsequently be available for use by growers. Information from these trials and the availability of new pesticides that may result provide new and effective tools for producers of the horticultural test crops.
