Summary:
Pumpkins are a significant crop in New England. According to the 2002 Agricultural Census there are 6529 acres grown in New England and pumpkins are ranked as the third mostly widely grown vegetable in the region. Integrated pest management tactic surveys, crop files and strategic plans have been conducted and developed for many of the widely grown and important crops in the region, including apples, pears, peaches, strawberries, brambles, winter squash, and sweet corn. However similar efforts have not been conducted for pumpkins. Many diseases found in pumpkins have been listed at priority pests by the Northeast IPM Vegetable Working Group. In order to better understand the extent of the disease problem as well as other problem pests, and to determine the adoption of IPM practices, we proposed to develop and conduct a Dillman method integrated pest management tactic survey for pumpkins that can be the first step to complete a New England Pumpkin Crop Profile and Strategic plan.
Objectives: Gather information to develop a crop profile and strategic plan for pumpkins in New England. Proposal |
