Summary:
New Jersey currently produces over 70 vegetables. Many of these crops are grown by numerous growers in fields that are typically less than one acre is size. As a result, statewide acreage for crops such as arugula (baby and other), basil, Brussels sprouts, leaf lettuces, leeks, parsley, and radishes tend to be less than 1,000 acres each year. This small acreage; however, masks the importance of these crops. Growing ethnic populations and resultant markets in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City, Washington DC and New Jersey have made these small acreage
crops valuable commodities. As a result, more attention is being paid to their production by growers. Unfortunately, small acreage means little attention by researchers, state governments and pesticide manufacturers. In New Jersey, surveys conducted jointly by NJDEP and NJinPAS have historically lumped small acreage crops into larger categories making it difficult to determine usage patterns and access pest management needs. Because of the small acreages involved statewide and nationally, chemical manufacturers spend little or no develop effort on new materials for these crops and as a result, few pest management options exit when product cancellations or problems such as resistance occur. Finally, few, if any, crop profiles exist for arugula (FL), basil, Brussels sprouts (AZ, CA, MI), leaf lettuce (CA), leeks, parsley (AZ, CA, OH) and radishes (OH) crops and no pest management strategy plans exist for these crops. All of these issues point to the need for pest management tactic surveys, crop profiles and pest management strategies plans for these crops. This project proposes to develop these items for arugula, Brussel sprouts, leaf lettuce, leeks, parsley and radishes. Objectives: 1. conduct statewide surveys of pest management and production practices for arugula (baby and other), basil, Brussels sprouts, leaf lettuces, leeks, parsley, and radishes 2. develop crop profiles for arugula (baby and other), basil, Brussels sprouts, leaf lettuces, leeks, parsley, and radishes, and 3. develop pest management strategy plans for Brussels sprouts and parsley.
