Welcome to The UMass IPM Fruit Loop! While Hawkeye does most of the talking, this is a co-creation of weekly contributions from Extension Educators Jon Clements and Elizabeth Garofalo. Extension and Stockbridge School of Agriculture's Dr. Jamie Piñero contributes weekly insect updates and integrated pest management strategies. Stockbridge School of Agriculture's Dr. Daniel Cooley is the team's resident plant pathologist and Dr. Duane Greene gives us the skinny on all things thinning and growth regulated. When we are extra lucky, we get a guest to join us. The possibilities are endless!

The UMass IPM Fruit Loop, led by the apple enthusiast Hawkeye, has returned with a focus on the bitter and intricate world of apple bitter rot. While bitter rot historically occurred sporadically in Massachusetts, it has become increasingly problematic. The pathogens responsible, part of the Colletotrichum complex, have a long history but were only recently identified as causal agents. In the Northeast, particularly in Massachusetts, C. fioriniae is the most commonly identified species causing fruit disease, alongside other pathogens affecting various plants. Understanding the appearance and progression of bitter rot lesions is crucial for accurate diagnosis, especially distinguishing them from other leaf spots. Differentiating between Colletotrichum complexes is essential due to their varied climatic preferences and disease manifestations. The complexity extends to fungicide resistance, with some species showing resistance to certain chemicals. Despite efforts to manage bitter rot, challenges persist, including the lack of fully resistant cultivars and the evolving nature of pathogen knowledge. Strategies like orchard sanitation and targeted fungicide applications are recommended, but the increasing frequency of extreme rain events adds another layer of complexity to disease management. As the understanding of bitter rot evolves, continuous research and adaptation in orchard practices are necessary for effective disease control.

Diseases take a rest while insects steal the spot light and ReTain continues to be of interest. This one's short and sweet... or not sweet, depending upon how you look at things.
Wild wet weather increases exotic disease pressure, insects are... well, pretty mellow this week actually and its time to ReTain them peaches. This week's Healthy Fruit is a collaboration between Jon Clements, Dan Cooley and Jaime Piñero with a bonus guest article from Cornell Extension colleagues Dan Donahue and Mike Basedow.

Thinning windows are closing, ascospores are giving up a last gasp and even insect pests are slowing their roll this week. We seem to be at the tail end of the mad spring rush and getting ready to enter into that summer holding pattern (but more on that as things develop). Keep your eyes peeled for straggling plum curculio and #getoutandscout to see if you incurred any primary scab infections that need to be managed to prevent a secondary outbreak. Plus, oh so very much more. Take a listen!

Pressure to get out and manage multiple tree fruit considerations mounts as temperatures rise. Apple thinning remains high on the priority list. Plum curculio activity is picking up but has not yet hit peak while apple scab falls down on the to do list as a result of unfavorable infection conditions. Finally, fireblight is on the scene and ready to attack any open blossoms. All this and so much more in this newest episode of the UMass IPM Fruit Loop.

Cooler than average temps are keeping the plum curculio at bay and making apple fruit thinning an even more challenging prospect than usual. Listen in as Dr. Greene once again gives us the skinny on best thinning practices for this time of year. Dr. Piñero counsels us on weekly insect activity as well as insecticide options which is augmented by this week's guest article from MSU's Dr. John Wise. Plus, all our great weekly segments from Jon Clements, Dan Cooley and myself (Hawkeye).

Chock full 'o' goodies this week with everything from our traditional rundown of degree days and upcoming pest events to a deeeeep dive into fireblight models with some thinning and pollinator health action thrown in for good measure. This week's Healthy Fruit was a solid collaboration from Dr. Jaime Piñero, Dr. Dan Cooley, Dr. Duane Greene, myself (Hawkeye) and Jon Clements, who also serves as fearless editor to our motley little crew. Each Fruit Loop is recorded and edited by yours truly.

Who doesn't love a good aphid love story? Everyone, or... no-one. Either way, worst love story ever. Good thing we are not in the love story business. Tune in to hear the latest insect and disease monitoring and management news, straight from the aphids tailpipes.
A stone's throw back to last week's (April 19, 2021) Healthy Fruit Newsletter. Status of weather, buds, insects and diseases covered to the minute and Dr. Duane Greene gives us his perspective on Prohexadione-calcium (Apogee, Kudos) for Growth Control and Fire Blight Containment.

2021 continues to keep us on our toes, and its not even May yet! Tune in to hear about the latest state of drought, apple scab, fungicides, more early season insect pests, frost considerations, a short from CCE's Michael Basedow and... There may even be a guest voice tucked in there for ya! As always, forgive me and my weak jokes and references (probably) no one but me gets.

Its the all Hawkeye channel until I can hoodwink... I mean, get someone else to join me in the weekly Healthy Fruit shenanigans. Nonetheless, listen in for your in season weekly run down of what all is afoot in the orchard and field. This week you will find budstages, disease updates and early season insect pest considerations. Enjoy!

As you may know the fruit Extension Educators from New York and New England have teamed up to organize a series of winter meetings, via zoom of course. These meetings are being held once a week throughout the rest of the winter. Extension Educators, and faculty from New York, New England and beyond have been kind enough to join us to share their research and experiences. In this episode of the fruit loop you will hear the question and answer portion of January 26th's blueberry twig blight presentation. If you are interested in viewing the video presentation portion, check it out on our UMass Extension Fruit Team youtube channel. I would like to extend a special thank you to Mary Concklin from the University of Connecticut Extension program for inviting Mark to present at this meeting, to George Hamilton of the University of New Hampshire Extension program for his insights and of course our speaker Mark Longstroth, recently retired from Michigan State Universities Extension program. If you would like to hear more about what Mark has to say, check him out on Twitter @MIbluedoc.
Short and action packed. This episode of the UMass IPM Fruit Loop takes you through a super duper quick review of just what it is we are talking about (erm... it decision support systems, y'all) and then a fairly comprehensive description of how to interpret apple scab risk forecast output from both RIMpro (https://www.rimpro.eu/) and NEWA (http://newa.cornell.edu/), two DSS currently available to use in the Northeast and Midwest U.S. Feel free to open up the NEWA link and follow along! Likewise, if you have a RIMpro account, this would be a good time to get a refresher. Side note, while NEWA is only available in the U.S, RIMpro is available for subscription services around the world.
'20-'21 Off Season Release Episode 1 In this episode, Hawkeye discusses degree days, forecast model development and implementation of climatic variable within those two structures. Just about everything you have ever wanted to know about decision support systems and forecast models, plus maybe a little extra. ;-)
'20-'21 Off Season Release Episode 1 In this episode, Hawkeye dives deep on key pathogen and insect pest life cycles to lay the groundwork for a larger discussion about what forecast models are, how they work and how models, and the decision support systems that implement them fit into an IPM program. This is the first in a multi part series. How many parts you get depends on just how long winded Hawkeye gets...
Flashback with Hawkeye to April 28, 2020 when rain was abundant and temperatures were... unpredictable. This episode discusses the (then) current state of the primary apple scab season for 2020, foliar nutrient applications, increasing insect pest captures and a brief update on small fruit concerns.
Tune in to hear Hawkeye and Lens cover the final issue of Healthy Fruit for the 2020 season. Dr. Jaime Piñero covers results of his team's pest surveys, Jon Clements guest spots to go over apple maturity and Hawkeye delivers a warning for next year. But wait! Just because Healthy Fruit has been put up for the winter doesn't mean that the IPM Fruit Loop is ready for hibernation. Stay tuned... Hawkeye and Lens have more tricks up their sleeves...
