IPMnet NEWS February 2001, Issue no. 86 ISSN: 1523-7893 Š Copyright 2005 IPM NEWS --- international IPM news and programs I. IPM NEWS / APPLICATIONS international IPM news and programs Australia Boosts Funding for Weed Management Clearly, Australia is serious about weed management and is putting up the funding to prove it. The country's government recently announced A million funding for four Cooperative Research Centers (CRCs), including the new CRC for Australian Weed Management (CRCAWM), previously known as the CRC for Weed Management Systems. The monetary support is to commence in July this year and continue through 2008. The government's announcement of the awards noted that "Weeds are amongst the most serious threats facing Australia's primary production and biodiversity with costs estimated at more than A.2 billion per year for grain cropping and probably at least twice that for the rest of agriculture." The CRCAWM will be working to reduce the risks to the environment, agriculture, and rural sectors all across Australia from currently established weed species as well as an increasing number of newly invading weeds. CRCAWM is designed to attack the challenge in three ways: Reduce the influx of new weeds and more effectively manage weed incursions already established in the country. Devise innovative methods and strategies to integrate weed management that reduces costs and improves agricultural sustainability. Protect the integrity of Australia's landscapes and natural ecosystems through use of multi-disciplinary approaches. The predecessor CRC for Weed Management Systems began operating in 1995 as a joint venture of the CSIRO, NSW Agriculture, and the Univ. of Adelaide, bolstered by a group of supporting partners. The number of players expanded as the new CRCAWM is cited as now having bases in virtually every state and territory of Australia. The CRC program concept originated in 1990 as a mechanism to strengthen collaborative links between industry, research organizations, educational institutions, and government agencies. Besides CRCAWM and its weed research oriented activities, a variety of other regional and local entities in Australia annually collaborate to conduct a national Weed Buster Week (with internationally prominent spokesplant "Woody Weed") to help heighten public awareness of the threats weeds pose to agriculture and the environment.

IPM for Asian Vegetables Staff scientists at the Taiwan-based Asian Vegetable Research and Development Center (AVRDC) are "developing pest-control technologies that emphasize biological, cultural, and mechanical control to minimize the use of chemical pesticides," according to Center's recently issued 1999 ANNUAL REPORT. One of AVRDC's key projects focuses on "Integrated insect and disease management (IPM) for environmentally-friendly production of safe vegetables." Research activities within this program are investigating: use of Solanum viarum as a possible trap crop to control Helicoverpa armigera (Asiatic tomato fruitworm); the effect of barrier nets to help control Plutella xylostella (diamondback moth) on cabbage; grafting cherry tomato onto eggplant rootstock to control soil-borne diseases; and, several other related integrated strategies. "Harmonious integration" of these innovative approaches, the report notes, is the keystone of AVRDC's IPM research. Surprisingly, however, pest management was not among the proposed activities of the Regional Network for Vegetable Research and Development to be jointly conducted by AVRDC and the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations. *> AVRDC, PO box 42 Shanhua, Tainan 741, TAIWAN.

Briano, JaBriano@mail.retina.ar. In an effort to battle the devastating pathogen Crinipellis perniciosa, responsible for "witch's broom" disease in Theobroma cacao (cacao or cocoa), Brazilian scientists are using biochemical and molecular markers to map the genome of both the crop and fungal pathogen. back to top IPM MEDLEY --- publications and other IPM information resources II. IPM MEDLEY general matters, publications of interest, and other resources for IPM information Keeping Sprayers "Tuned" Pays Off Along with a variety of biological and cultural control tactics for managing crop pests, growers especially in commercial agriculture continue to apply pesticides, albeit in significantly reduced amounts. Most of these insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, etc. are applied as liquids using a powered sprayer, usually engine powered, or
manually powered in the case of a knapsack-style, hand-pumped unit. Many spraying devices today are technologically advanced, precise, and efficient. However, they are machines and as such sustain wear, abuse from travel over uneven ground, and deterioration from weather and use of chemical materials. Frequently monitoring performance and keeping sprayers adjusted, or "tuned-up," is basic for avoiding improper application that may cause increased environmental hazards, or lead to economic loss as well as escaped pests. In the U.S. state of Oregon, a team of extension specialists conducted a series of on-farm sprayer tune-up clinics and found that out of 44 sprayers surveyed, 38 (86 percent) needed at least one, or more, repairs or adjustments. The most common problem was worn nozzles; 28 machines required nozzle replacement. Next, 12 sprayers were found to have dripping or missing check valves, boom height too low or uneven (9), excessive pressure (8), unequal nozzle spacing or mismatched nozzles (6), end nozzles spraying the boom wheel because the boom had rotated slightly (5), faulty speedometer (5), nozzles at different heights on the boom (2), pressure variation on different sections of the boom (2), and one kinked hose that reduced flow, but not pressure. The specialists engaged in constructive dialog with the sprayer owners. The objective: provide assistance to rectify any problem, not create an attitude of defensiveness or resentment. The affirmative approach was well received by all participating growers. Each tune-up session began with a complete sprayer overview to verify nozzle type, size, spacing, and orientation on the boom, as well as the condition of hoses, fittings, and clamps. The presence or absence of nozzle screens was duly noted, and height above ground was measured at several points along the spray boom when in operating position. Next, the team conducted a field test to determine elapsed time for the sprayer to travel a preset distance at its normal operating speed. Then, while stationary: the sprayer was filled with water only and pressurized to check its entire system for leaks; the unit then was operated at the same engine speed, and for the same time span as the field test run, and at the pressure of normal field applications, while discharge was collected individually from each nozzle. The final sprayer tune-up step involved verifying the pattern and emerging volume of each nozzle by spraying onto a device that collects and measures the output from each nozzle and dramatically reveals whether all nozzles are discharging uniform volumes of spray. Any nozzle varying by 10 percent or more from the average discharge was judged to need replacement. A simple formula involving distance, time, and volume sprayed was used to determine the sprayer's performance. The team found that nearly 7 percent of the total area sprayed by the 44 units had been receiving at least a 10 percent over-application of pesticides, and that another 6 percent of the sprayed area had received at least 10 percent less than the intended application rate. Through calculating the actual costs of pesticide, the team was able to demonstrate the unnecessary costs growers spent each year on excess application. Extrapolating further, the entire
group of 44 sprayers was estimated to have been wasting over US,000 per year on excess pesticide. The costs incurred by sprayers that under-applied on, or skipped portions of, the targeted area were not calculated, nor were the environmental impacts of over-application. *> M.D. Shenk, IPPC, 2040 Cordley Hall, Oregon State Univ., Corvallis, OR 97331, USA.

NEW TITLES FROM APS PRESS Filamentous fungi from the genus Colletotrichum and its telemorph Glomerella are considered major plant pathogens worldwide. Focused research on a variety of related elements presented at a 1998 international workshop forms the basis for a 2000 work, COLLETOTRICHUM HOST SPECIFICITY, PATHOLOGY, AND HOST-PATHOGEN INTERACTION. Editors D. Prusky, et al have distilled a variety of topics, ranging from systematics through biocontrol, into 23 chapters and 393 pages that constitute a relevant and definitive softbound reference. Papers presented at another international session convened in 1999 form the mass of a 2001 work that addresses DELIVERY AND PERCEPTION OF PATHOGEN SIGNALS IN PLANTS. The topic has moved to the forefront as scientists struggle to understand the process whereby a plant recognizes a signal from a pathogen (or other pest organism) that then elicits a resistance mechanism. N.T. Keen, et al have edited these cutting-edge presentations into an effective 26-chapter, monograph. The multi-dimensional, hardbound work spans 268 pages. A set of eight, double-sided, laminated MYCOLOGY REFERENCE CARDS prepared by R.K. Noyd stands as a helpful teaching tool and study aid. The durable 21.6x27.9 cm. (8x10 in.) cards define over 220 mycology terms and include extensive graphics. The set covers: 10 phyla, 7 classes, 69 orders, and 28 families and includes illustrated classification maps of 10 major fungi along with a list of key features. *> APS Press, 3340 Pilot Knob Rd., St. Paul, MN 55121-2097,
