PEST ALERT TAPE ON
CUCUMBERS
Let your fingers do your walking
and call 1-800-662-7301. Does that
number ring a bell?
Yes, for Extension TeleTip! Now
you can call this number and
receive the latest information on
cucumbers and their insect and
disease pests. Weekly updates will
follow. So, find out what the soil
temperature is, be prepared for
pests and pestilence and help
cucumbers run and grow! Call
Extension TeleTip and request the
tape on Cucumber Pest Alert.
SEED CORN MAGGOT
Have you wondered why beans,
peas, corn and cucumbers fail to
emerge? Or if they do emerge, why
seedlings are deformed? Or. why
that potato seed piece has tunnels
in it? Or why that cabbage plant
doesn't grow? Well, the cause
could be seed corn maggot. Small
brown flies are active during April
and can be seen flying over
new-tilled soil. They are searching
for a place to lay eggs. The white
legless maggots feed on germi
nating seed, seed pieces or small
transplants. Damage is most severe
in spring crops in high organic,
cool, wet soils. Of course, it helps
the maggots if the seed is planted
deep.
Some things to consider in
dealing with seed corn maggots are:
1. Avoid planting early in areas
having cold. wet. organic soils.
2. Place seed at proper depth or
shallow in well-prepared soils.
3. Use seed treated with an
insecticide such as diazinion or
methoxychlor.
4. Broadcast the soil insecticide
diazinon (Spectracide) in problem
areas prior to seeding.
5. Plant a few extra seed and thin
where needed.
