2015 Research Highlights
l
2015 Protocols
• Entomology– Thrips Efficacy
– Scale Efficacy
– Leafminer Efficacy
– New Product Crop Safety
• Plant Pathology– Botrytis Efficacy
– Leaf Spots & Anthracnose Efficacy
– Fusarium Efficacy
– Pythium Efficacy
– New Product Crop Safety
• Weed Science– In Season Pre-
emergent Herbicide Crop Safety
– Ornamental Grass Herbicide Crop Safety
lEntomology
l
Entomology – Results Highlights
• Thrips
– 2 of 5 experiments complete (2014-2015)
• Mainspring performed well for Western Flower Thrips
• Beginning to screen cyclaniliprole
• Armored Scale
– 7 of 8 experiments complete (2014); 0 of 7 for 2015
• Mainspring, Xxpire, SuffOil X performed well across armored scale species (2014)
• Started examining BAS 440 I, BYI-2960, and cyclaniliprole
lPathology
l
Pathology – Results Highlights
• Botrytis–5 of 9 experiments complete (2014-2015)
• Screening different species did validate different product sensitivities among pathogens
• BAS703 and S2200 provided excellent efficacy for B. elliptica and B. tulipae, but variable for B. cinerea
• Leaf Spots & Anthracnose–3 of 8 experiments complete (2014-2015)
• Insufficient data to summarize at this time
lWeed Science
l
Weed Science – Results Highlights
• In Season Pre-emergent Herbicide Crop Safety– 189 trials for 2014
• 134 completed, 53 still pending, 2 cancelled• Most data summarized and provided to registrants
– 130 for 2015• 31 completed, 94 still pending, 5 cancelled
• Ornamental Grass Herbicide Crop Safety– 90 trials for 2014
• 52 completed, 22 still pending, 15 cancelled• Most data summarized and provided to registrants
– 88 for 2015• 45 completed, 40 still pending, 3 cancelled
l
2016/2017 Research Priorities
l
2015 Workshop, Chicago, IL• October 6 – 8, 2015• Agenda: Tour on First Day
– Welcome, IR-4 Updates– Registrant Product Updates (new
ais and new targets for existing products)
– Project Pros and Cons by Discipline– Sticker Caucus– Review Votes and Discussion, if
needed– Biopesticide Priority Discussion– Additional Topics
• Update on Pollinator Activities• Glyphosate & Prop 65• PR Request Form• Cannabis
l
2016/2017 Research Priorities
• Entomology
– Thrips Efficacy
– Foliar Beetle Efficacy
– New Product Crop Safety
• Pathology
– Botrytis Efficacy
– Bacterial Disease Efficacy
– New Product Crop Safety
• Weed Science
– In Season Pre-emergent Herbicide Crop Safety
– Ornamental Grass Herbicide Crop Safety
l
In Summary
• IR-4 research activities are still impacting labels and benefiting growers
• The Botrytis and Thrips efficacy projects continue to screen new active ingredients for activity
• The Bacterial Disease and Foliar Feeding Beetle efficacy projects will test new active ingredients for these problems
• The In-Season Pre-emergent Herbicide and Ornamental Grass crop safety projects are still identifying herbicide-crop combinations with no to little injurious effects and those growers should avoid
