Describing IPM on your farm
• Prevention
• Prevent introduction to the farm, pest reservoirs, spread between
fields
• Avoidance
• Avoid pest susceptible crops or practices that increase pest losses
• Monitoring
• Monitor and identify pests, manage sites of high pest risk and use
decision support tools
• Suppression
• Cultural, physical, biological and chemical methods of suppressing
pests
IT ALWAYS PAYS TO COMBINE THESE

M-Pede risks are low, but you would have to check that this works with
your trees and sprayers, and probably use it early, or in low infestations
Try not to use only one chemical type, and try to use a different mode-ofaction to chemicals used against other pests

1) Only spray when necessary, but, of course: protect your trees
2) Encourage natural enemy populations on your farm, so that they can
reinvade after treatment, and reduce the need for treatment in the long term.
3) May increase the likelihood of an aphid outbreak, if natural enemies are
killed
4) Early sprays may not interfere with later emerging parasitoids – research
needed, late sprays may limit next year’s populations

IPPC Degree-Day Models including
Douglas-Fir Needle Midge
(Contarinia spp.)
Len Coop, IPPC, OSU Corvallis
Phenology Models – developed by field data
using lowest error methods
Need at least 3-4 years data from a variety of locations
Doug fir needle midge – mostly from 1 trap/field, more
than 20-47 fields 2009-2011 (provided by D. Silen)
Plus data from OSU Extension 1990
Method is to vary the lower threshold and start date
and use the value that provides lowest error

What the model is telling us:
timing can vary by 5 weeks or more
in cool vs. warm years
Pest Management: Monitoring plays a major role
especially since populations are cyclical
(due to natural enemies perhaps?)
2012: 22 traps in 22 fields, 44 flies total
2011: 23 traps in 22 fields, 206 flies total
2010: 21 traps in 20 fields, 2 flies total

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
• Minimize selection for resistance by one ‘type’ of
insecticide
• Sequences or rotation of ‘Mode of Action’ (MoA) groups
• Apply each MoA group during one stage of crop growth
or pest development
• Avoid treating successive generations of pests with same
MoA group
• Avoid spraying where possible; use IPM
• Predators and parasites do not select for resistance: they
represent a non-specific MoA group

rotation

Lorsban
Orthene and Lorsban are both in the same mode of action group
Lorsban is approved for both aphids and midges
If you spray early against a midge infestation, consider a chemical
from one of the other mode-of-action groups against aphids to avoid
resistance selection, and also avoid a double hit to natural enemies.
Pest Management: other considerations for
needle midge
-Work on larval exit timing in the fall to see if any
remain in needles after harvest
- Economic thresholds are lacking for Christmas tree
pests in general, would be especially helpful for DFNM
- More work should be conducted to distinguish the ID,
biology, phenology, and parasitism of the three or more
Contarinia species

Drift happens: waste, risky
losses and reduced efficacy
PRINTABLE FACT SHEET AVAILABLE AT

ENGLISH AND SPANISH VERSIONS AVAILABLE
Seasonal drift risk table
construction
There is a high risk of drift occurring when:
1. Wind drift: Wind speeds > 9mph
2. Thermal drift: Temperatures > 70oF, RH <40%
3. Inversion drift: Stable air, following cool,
cloudless nights in spring and fall
THESE TABLES ARE BASED ON LONG-TERM AVERAGES AND ARE FOR
GUIDANCE ONLY, TO ASSIST DISCUSSIONS ON HOW YOU SHOULD
