VEGETABLES:

• Cole crops: Cabbage, Cauliflower and Broccoli:  Imported cabbage worm numbers were over economic treatment thresholds in many late plantings.  In addition, some broccoli  plantings had flea beetles working on plants.
• High tunnel tomatoes: Early blight is present in many high tunnels, growers are encouraged to maintain a regular and consistent spray program.  Yellow shoulder and blossom end rot, primarily abiotic conditions are also being noted by scouts.  Damage by tomato hornworm was heavy in several high tunnels this week.  Stink bugs, 2-spotted spider mites and aphids were also found by scouts this past week.
• Field tomatoes:  Bacterial speck, spot and canker all being found on plants.  In some plantings bacterial spot, speck, and canker are being found on the tomato fruit.  Early blight and septoria leaf spot are found in many plantings.  Blossom end-rot, and yellow shoulder are also being found.   Stink bug numbers increased this past week and damage to fruit was noted.

• Cucumbers:  Although no new downy mildew  infections were found this past week, growers in the region should be on a protective spray program against downy mildew from now until the end of harvest.  Harvest is under way in some plantings and there have been some plantings made for intended fall harvest.  In many fields the bigger disease issue is powdery mildew and growers need to be managing with fungicides.
• Zucchini and Summer Squash:  Cucumber beetle numbers increased to above treatment threshold levels this week in some plantings.  Aphids were also noted on some plants.  Angular leaf spot, anthracnose, phytophthora blight and powdery mildew are being found.  Powdery mildew is really increasing and growers need to work at control of this disease.  Some bacterial soft rot is being found where fruit has been damaged in previous handling.
• Winter Squash and Pumpkins:  Cucumber beetle numbers in several plantings increased to above threshold numbers.  Aphids were found at low levels on some plantings.  Angular leaf spot, anthracnose, and powdery mildew are present in many plantings, with powdery mildew probably exhibiting the most disease pressure currently.  Bacterial soft rot is showing up on plants that have had some handling damage or injury.  Phytophthora blight can be found in some plantings.   Insect-wise squash bugs increased to economic treatment levels in some plantings and stink bugs were also being noted by scouts.  Scouts noted feeding damage by deer, groundhogs and racoons.

Eastern corn borer moth trap counts were lower this past week with only 5 moths recorded at one of 3 trap locations.   Fall armyworm feeding damage was seen in some fields and in one field the damage surpassed the economic threshold and treatment was recommended.  In many fields, deer are a much bigger problem than insects or disease.
• Cucumbers:  The big news this week is that downy mildew was confirmed from a cucumber plant sample taken from Wayne County.   Growers in the region should be on a protective spray program against downy mildew from now until the end of harvest.  Harvest is under way in some plantings and there have been some plantings made for intended fall harvest.  Cucumber beetles were reported at high levels in some of the young cucumber plantings.  Powdery mildew is showing up in many plantings.

Vegetables

• Overview: Wet weather conditions have continued and crops in low areas of fields are showing some wet soil related stresses.  Bacterial disease incidence is increasing.  Japanese beetles have shown up and are feeding on a number of vegetable and fruit crops.
