Objectives
• On-farm demonstration• Evaluate jack-o-lantern pumpkins
(powdery mildew susceptible and resistant varieties)
• Test and compare the North Jersey IPM scouting protocol vs. grower’s usual practices

5 farms, 6 comparison blocks/fields(Cumberland, 2-Gloucester, Burlington, Monmouth)
Methods
IPM - pest management based on field scouting information
Control - grower follows normal practices
Evaluate yields and field pest levels

Protocol for IPM fields• Admire at planting or scout for
cuke beetles and treat as needed• Initiate fungicide treatments at
powdery mildew threshold (1 lesion/50 mature leaves) – Bravo+Nova alt. Quadris 7-10 day
schedule
• Modify schedule based on scouting results– Add insecticide if needed– Modify fungicide if needed

Bottom Line
Pesticide Costs: Potential Savings:
Fungicides: 1-2 applications each:$17 - Bravo OR = $17-$34
$27 - Bravo+Nova = $27-$54
$31 - Quadris = $31-$62
Insecticides/Miticides: 2 applications:$7-10/acre/appl. = $14-$20
Scouting costs:$25 per acre

Conclusions
• Disease scouting worked well for timing and choice of fungicide
• Potential for pesticide reduction and cost savings:– 1-4 fungicide applications– 2+ insecticide applications
• Overall grower response has been positive
