Sysstem-CALreg

The Perfect

PGR Partner

Apple growers need to do many things early season at the same

time to ensure quality fruit at harvest Four of the most important

early seasons tasks are 1) maximizing calcium uptake into the

developing fruit 2) improving fruit size 3) managing terminal

growth and 4) managing tree fruit load Sysstem Cal from Agro-K

can improve the performance of the most important PGR tools

used for sizing thinning and managing terminal growth that are

critical to maximizing fruit quality and grower profitability Now you

can do all these critical tasks while also supplying systemic

calcium during peak demand Sysstem-CALreg Agro-Krsquos foliar

calcium is the perfect apple PGR tank-mix partner

Large firm apples free from bitter pit generate the highest per

acre return Private and university research shows Sysstem-Calrsquos

positive effects on size Dr Duane Greene UMass stated ldquoclearly

Sysstem-CAL when combined with MaxCel reg had a profound

effect on increasing fruit sizerdquo Not only does Sysstem-CAL aid in

maximizing fruit size but it also supplies needed calcium at the

same time for better firmness and storage life

In 2011 Dr Fallahi (Univ of ID) saw similar results as Dr Greene

(UMass) and had these comments ldquoUn-treated controlled had

smallest fruits But those with Sysstem-Caltrade 2Qts + MaxCel reg

128oz at 5-10mm200GA had the largest fruit of any of the

treatments Fruit from trees receiving Growerrsquos Treatment (Sevin

and NAA) had lower firmness at harvest as compared to control and

the Sysstem-Cal trade and MaxCel reg treatments Enrichment with Ca

from Sysstem-Cal trade could have also contributed to higher firmness

in Sysstem-Cal trade -treated fruitsrdquo

Apples need early season calcium for best quality Growers want

early applications of Apogeereg to manage terminal growth but

calcium can be antagonistic to Apogeereg University research from

WSU Penn State and UMass as well as private researchers have

documented that Sysstem-CALtrade does not interfere with Apogeereg

allowing it to control terminal growth and help growers manage fire

blight more effectively

The unique formulation of Sysstem-CAL links calcium to a highly

systemic phosphite This patent-pending technology provides rapid

calcium penetration and translocation into the fruit where calcium

is most needed Sysstem-Cal maximizes calcium and cell wall

development resulting in reduced bitter pit and improved pack-out

while maximizing storage and shelf life Call 800-328-2418 or visit

Hybrid protein blocksPiercersquos disease

A team of researchers has found a way to engineer grapevines to block Xyle

fastidiosa a bacterium that causes Piercersquos disease and poses a significant threat grape growers

Researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory University of California anUS Department of Agriculture created specially engineered grapevines that producehybrid antimicrobial protein that can block Xf infection The research was published the February 20 edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

By helping the vine fight the microbe with specific proteins growers may be able reduce pesticide sprays currently used to control the glassy-winged sharpshooter ainsect with a wide host range that carries the disease Early in an XF infection moleculon the outer membrane of the microbe interact with cells of the grapevine By interfeing with that interaction scientists can help the vines block the disease and go on produce a healthy crop of grapes according to a news release

The antimicrobial gene may also protect other plants from Xf-related diseases sucas phony peach disease plum leaf scald almond leaf scorch and citrus X disease Brazil

The future for organicapple sales is not brightEconomist suggests that ldquosustainablerdquo has a better outlook

by Richard Lehnert

Eastern United States apple growers fear thatorganic fruit production will really take off That was evident in questions posed to the speaker

ldquoHow can we compete with western growers who grow in desert conditions when we have all

hese insects and diseases to contend withrdquo asked PaulRood fruit grower from southwest Michigan ldquoWill we beable to modify organic practices to fit our conditionsrdquo

ldquoI hear that Walmart is going organic big timerdquo saidFruit Ridge apple grower Harold Thome ldquoIf they go thatway all the other big retailers will follow and where willhat leave usrdquo

The speaker apple industry analyst DesmondOrsquoRourke didnrsquot seem to share their fears He noted thatorganic practices are rigid not flexible andmdashaddressing Roodrsquos questionmdashcanrsquot be altered no matter what the sit-uation That he said is a huge disadvantage ldquoItrsquos like try-ng to fight Muhammad Ali with one hand tied behind

your backrdquo he said The only reason growers would

choose to do that is if there is a price premium

His take on Walmart was not at all likeThomersquos ldquoWalmart has had a long dal-liance with organic and has decided itdoes not fit the needs of their clientelerdquo hesaid ldquoWalmart is very lukewarm onorganics and its prospects at Walmart are definitely up in the airrdquo

About 8 or 9 percent of the appleacreage in the West is organic he said butin some years as much as 20 percent of thefruit is sold as conventional because it doesnrsquot meet buy-ersrsquo standards So the price premium is not there for allthe fruit that organic growers raise

ldquoThere has been no increase in organic apple acreagein Washington in the last two yearsrdquo he said The pricepremium once more than 50 percent has fallen to 30percent now

What organic producers need is a tageted marketing campaign somethinthey have not so far done

In his view ldquosustainablerdquo has a mucbetter outlook than does ldquoorganicrdquo

OrsquoRourke who is president of BelrosInc came to Michigan from Pullma Washington to speak to the Michigan Prcessing Apple Growers Association abothe future of the apple industry The growers belong to a legally constituted assocition accredited under Michigan law

bargain with apple processors on price and other terms sale The association enjoys good grower support wiabout 60 percent of processing applesmdashwhether sort-ouor apples grown especially for processingmdashrepresented bthe members At their annual meeting they were enjoyinsuccessmdashprices for juice apples and apples for othprocessed products have been good in recent times

Still as OrsquoRourke noted those prices while stronger inMichigan by one or two cents a pound than in New York and Washington are not close to fresh-market fruitprices Current prices in Michigan were running about$11 a hundredweight for juice apples and $14 and up forpeelers

His statistics indicate that in Michigan about 65 per-cent of the apple crop goes for processing just slightly ess than the 67 percent of 15 years ago Meanwhile the

US industry as a whole has moved strongly to fresh mar-ket Some 55 percent were sold fresh 15 years ago andabout 68 percent were sold fresh in 2010 ldquoYou still have a

ong way to gordquo he told the Michigan growersIn general OrsquoRourke paints a less than optimistic

uture for apples While US consumption has risenslightly over the last 15 years to about 48 pounds per per-son all the increase has come in juice consumptionmdashwhere more than 85 percent of the product is importedalmost all from China

ldquoPer-capita consumption of fresh canned frozen anddried have all fallenrdquo he said ldquoOnly fresh apple slices arehigher but they represent only 1 percent of the totalrdquo

World apple production has grown from 502 millionmetric tons in 1995 to 713 million metric tons in 2009 andwill continue to grow OrsquoRourke said While rising incomesn some countries will foster increased consumption

worldwide demographic changes toward smaller familiesand older populations are causing a decline in ldquocoreapple-buying householdsrdquo those with two adults and twochildren And older people eat less he added

In the United States incomes are high but growing slowly and added income is not spent on basic foodsEven when buying fruit they prefer fresh over processed

exotic over mundanerdquo he saidThe current recession has wrought permanent

changes Many consumers have lost assets income andaccess to credit so they have become financially stretched and more thrifty ldquoThe experience may colorbuying habits for years just as the Great Depression didrdquohe said

Moreover long-term residue from the recession andhe large generation of young people unemployed andooking for work will affect young peoplersquos income

spending and savings delay marriages and formation of new households delay births and negatively affect con-sumption of products like apples

Expansion strategiesThe apple industry has tried and is trying many strategies to expand demand OrsquoRourke said Thesenclude lowering costs by adopting new technologies and

getting larger and vertically integrated experimenting with new varieties and strains investing in club varietiesdiversifying into other fruits expanding into niches likeorganic or local trying new products like fresh slices andexporting more apples

By 2020 Washington Statersquos annual fresh productionwill have grown by 10 to 15 million cartons he said and if hese apples stay in the US market it will drive prices

down But to gain more sales in export may require con-cessions to countries like China allowing more of theirresh apples into US markets

ldquoMany worry that what China did with apple juiceconcentratemdashflood the market with low-priced prod-uctmdashit could also do in fresh applesrdquo he said On the

other hand China has been exporting less apple juiceconcentrate as its own citizens gain greater wealth andeat more fresh apples

ldquoChinarsquos decisions may be crucial to world fresh andprocessed apple marketsrdquo he said

In the final analysis however OrsquoRourke says the realcompetition is not between producing states or produc-ng nations but between the apple industry and ldquothose

other fruits and snack foods that are vying for the favor of etailers and consumersrdquo

The industryrsquos promotional efforts are weak he saidwith well-funded programs like those once run by theWashington Apple Commission now gone ldquoMany inte-grated marketers continue to promote but their goal is towin retailer business not expand the total apple marketrdquohe said

Bottom line he said the apple industry will survive ast has for centuries The challenge for an orchardist is to

be among the survivors bullwwwgoodfruitcom GOOD FRUIT GROWER APRIL 15 2012




Second cherry referendum consideredWashington stone fruit growers would vote again on a special research assessment

by Geraldine Warner

T

he Washington Tree FruitResearch Commission is consid-ering rerunning a referendumasking Washington soft fruit

growers if they are willing to pay a special assessment to fund research atWashington State University

In a referendum last fall apple andpear growers voted to pay a special assess-ment in addition to the regular research

assessment but cherry and soft fruitgrowers voted it down The proposedassessment rate was equal to the rate they already pay $4 a ton for cherries and $1

for soft fruits The rate is $1 a ton forapples and pears Research assessmentsare paid on both fresh and processed fruit

The additional funds collected throughthe special apple and pear assessment which should amount to $27 million over

the next eight years will pay for new research and extension positions andresearch orchard updates all focusing exclusively on pome fruits

Only 44 percent of the 308 ballotsreturned in the cherry referendum were infavor of the special assessment A similarpercentage of stone fruit growers voted infavor Simple majorities were required forthe measures to pass

At a meeting in March the WashingtoState Fruit Commissionrsquos board membeattributed the failure of the cherry refeendum to an incomplete mailing list an

a lack of information about why chergrowers were being asked to pay $4 a tocompared with $1 a ton for the othfruits

Gip Redman Washington State FruCommission chair said he fears that thcherry industry will miss out as WSrecruits some of the best researchers the world to work on pome fruit issues

ldquoWersquore now no longer at the tablerdquo hsaid ldquoOur voice has been taken awa

Because of the financial crisis at the unversity therersquos no guarantee that cherresearch will be provided at the level wthink it should be providedrdquo

BJ Thurlby Fruit Commission presdent said the cherry mailing list has sinbeen updated to make it more compleand accurate The Fruit Commissioboard recommended unanimously ththe Research Commission consider runing the referendum again and ensuthat growers understand why a rate of $4ton is called for

Jim McFerson manager of thResearch Commission said it seemeclear given the Fruit Commissionrsquos unaimous vote that it should move ahea with another referendum He said a raof less than $4 on cherries would limit thamount of research that could be done

Pear growers plead for help with pestWSU can no longer dedicate a full-time scientist to work on pear psylla control

by Geraldine Warner

P

ear growers in Washingtonrsquos Wenatchee Valley are hoping that Washington State University will help them find ways to control their key pest pear psylla so they can stay in business

Last year the pest got out of control in theate season leaving trees sticky with honeydew and much

of the fruit downgraded Pickers donrsquot likeo work in sticky trees and growers are

also concerned that when labor is shorthey might have difficulty finding peopleo pick their crops

Since WSU no longer has a researcherdedicated to pear entomology the growerselt they had no place to turn for help

ldquoTherersquos no way we can operate in thepear industry without an entomologist onpearsrdquo field horticulturist Fred Valentineold the Washington Tree Fruit Research

Commission during its February pearesearch review

Growers have been battling pear psyllasince it was first discoverd in WashingtonState in 1939 Entomologist Dr EverettBurts joined WSUrsquos Tree Fruit Research Center inWenatchee in 1958 to work on pear psylla which had by hen developed resistance to parathion Several other

organophosphates such as malathion diazinon andazinphos-methyl which were introduced in the 1950scontrolled the pest for a time But the pest has shown aemarkable ability to develop resistance to chemicals

ldquoWersquove had over 17 chemicals in my career of dealing with pear psylla controlrdquo Valentine said ldquoWersquore so close to

losing this pear industry that itrsquos very frightening If youdrive up and down the Wenatchee Valley you will observethe fact that wersquore not controlling pear psylla Trees areblack from pear psylla honeydewrdquo

Honeydew is a sticky substance that forms on thenymphs When psylla populations are high honeydew

can drip onto leaves and fruit and serve asa medium for growth of sooty mold

which can turn trees black Honeydew on fruit can causerusset and make the fruit unmarketable

Budget cutsDr John Dunley joined WSU in 1995 to work on pear

entomology after Burts retired Dunley left WSU two yearsago to work in private industry He is not being replaced

Over the past several years WSU has endured severebudget cuts Five researchers have left the Wenatchee

research and extension center lately in addition Dunley Entomologist Dr Elizabeth Beers one of the fifaculty remaining has a small program screening nepesticides for efficacy against pear psylla

Bob Gix field horticulturist with Blue Star Growein Cashmere said the need for a pear entomologist very real

ldquoGrowers spend close to $4000 per acre to producecrop of pears and that $4000 is put at risk if they canrsquot gpeople to pick it because the trees are very sticky or if thfruit is marked and is not marketablerdquo he said

Pear psylla is found in other areas such as Californbut Washingtonrsquos cold winters seem to toughen the inseand make it harder to control with pesticides he said

In Washington prebloom treatments are considerekey to successful season-long control Psylla migrate oof the orchards in the winter Growers apply a kaolin clato the trees in the delayed dormant season to deter thefrom moving back into the trees The insects donrsquot like thclay surface and it dries out some of the eggs Growealso apply Thiodan (endosulfan) in the delayed dormaseason but use of that product on pears will end in 201Gix said growers have used pyrethroids in the dormaperiod but in his career six to eight products have beelost because of resistance

Got behindCool wet windy weather last spring made it difficu

for growers to get their sprays on which made summcontrol so much harder ldquoWe got behind the eight baand at the end of the year we had more growers wisticky fruit than in many yearsrdquo Gix said ldquoItrsquos a numbegame If you can knock the numbers down early in th year it makes the rest of the season work easier

ldquoIf wersquore not able to control pear psylla the pear indutryrsquos pretty seriously damagedrdquo he said ldquoWersquore slightdifferent from apple in that regard because we have ainsect that pretty much can take us out of businessthink Fred is just reminding us that even if we have

[dwarfing] rootstock and even if we can control decay wcanrsquot get there without controlling pear psyllardquoDr Dan Bernardo dean of WSUrsquos College of Agricu

ture Human and Natural Resources said WSU does nhave the resources to hire personnel to work on singcommodities Bernardo said the focus today is mucmore interdisciplinary than in the past and WSU has sresearch entomologists based in Prosser and Wenatche who are expected to work with the specialty cro industries to address their concerns

ldquoI think having a pear entomologist doesnrsquot fit how wneed to serve the industry nor how our faculty need compete federally and regionally for fundsrdquo he saildquoWersquore just not going to hire a pear specialistmdashor a rasberry specialistmdashin entomology They need to be able work across commodities and be responsive to th industryrdquo

Dr Jay Brunner executive director of WSUrsquos Tree Fru

Research Center has since discussed the options wipear industry representatives Dr Peter Shearer researcentomologist at Oregon State Universityrsquos Mid-Columb Agricultural Research and Extension Center in HooRiver who works with pear growers in Oregon took pain the discussions

The scientists are working with the industry to priortize some researchable topics and draw up research prposals to obtain funding Brunner said itrsquos possible thatpostdoctoral scientist could be assigned to Wenatchee work with Beers Shearer and scientists at the UDepartment of Agriculture in Yakima who are working opear psylla management

Shearer told the Good Fruit Grower he believes an intgrated approach is needed to address pear pest problemThis would include using different products at differetimings enhancing biological control of key pests usinmating disruption for codling moth and ultimatelbreeding psylla-resistant pear varieties bull

Pheromones explored for psyllaMale psylla are attracted to pheromone lures

by Geraldine Warner

R

educing pear psylla popula-tions in the spring is the key tokeeping the pest in check laterin the season entomologists

say and a recently discoveredpear psylla pheromone might play a role

Currently pear growers apply pesti-cides with oil in the delayed dormant sea-son to target winterform adults as they

return to orchards after spending the win-ter on other hosts Growers also coat thetrees with Surround (kaolin clay) which issomewhat repellent to the psylla and

deters females from laying eggs Howeverboth oil and Surround need to be appliedmultiple times to be effective

Dr Dave Horton entomologist withthe US Department of Agriculture in

Yakima believes that it might be possibleto use the pear psylla pheromone to dis-rupt mating and delay egg laying by win-terform females after they return to the

orchard as a supplement to the standardcontrols although he cautions that this isall very hypothetical at the moment He isexploring in the laboratory whether satu-ration of airspace with pheromone could

affect the ability of males to rapidly finfemales and thus delay mating

Delays in egg laying lead to mo synchrony in egg hatch which in tur

simplifies control of the developin summerform generation Horton said

Horton and colleague Dr ChristelGueacutedot began testing the pheromone the field three years ago The researcshows that therersquos a period in January anFebruary when the females are n producing the pheromone during whicmales are attracted to traps wipheromone lures Once the winterforfemales begin producing the pheromonin March the traps with lures become leeffective in attracting males Horton is tring to improve the lure by testing differedosages of the pheromone and differetypes of traps

Horton and Gueacutedot have also studiethe summerform pear psylla and founthat the competitive effects of females aless From June through August trap with lures consistently attract more mapsylla regardless of the psylla densitHorton said he will explore this further btests of different pheromone dosages an will explore whether saturation with thpheromone could affect the ability of thmales to find females and thus dela mating and egg laying

Unlike the pheromones of some othinsects the psylla pheromone appeaonly to work at close range he said Thpheromone was isolated from the cuticof the female insect and is not known this time to be something she emits

Horton said that a scientist in Japa

has discovered a simple procedure to sythesize the pheromone so if it does havcommercial potential for controlling pepsylla the new procedure might hekeep costs down

ldquoI would suggest that if we could findpractical purpose for this the best oppotunity might be in disrupting winterforfemales as theyrsquore returning to thorchardrdquo he said ldquoThe females are not ymated at that time of year Growers wato push that egg laying back as far as posible and if we can saturate the orcha with enough pheromone there might ba way of slowing mating in late winter anspring as theyrsquore returning to thorchardrdquo

RepellentHorton is also testing a psyllid repe

lent that was discovered by scientisexploring why citrus trees planted neguava trees had fewer citrus psyllids Thcompound dimethyl disulphide (DMSDidentified in volatiles emitted by thguava trees was found in laboratory testo be highly repellent to citrus psylliRecent trials have shown that the potapsyllid is also repelled by the compound

ISCA Technologies has manufactured wax-based formulation called SPLAT release DMDS In tests in citrus psyllidleft plots that were treated with the repelent within three days Horton said thDMDS disappeared within 28 days asvolatilized but in pears an applicatio would only need to cover the period

Verbrugge said his experience with club varieties hasshown that it takes a certain critical mass in terms of vol-ume to achieve consumer recognition in the marketplace

Sage has two managed varietiesmdashSonya and Breezemdashboth from New Zealand It has purchased the marketing ights to several other varieties that are at the testing stage

ldquoIt takes a large amount of time and money to builddemand for a varietyrdquo Verbrugge said ldquoAnd thatrsquos one of he struggles wersquove seen with the club varieties It makes itough to be successful if you donrsquot do thatrdquo

The whole idea behind managed varieties was that theicensee could control the quality and control the market

and pricing but since there are now so many available inhe marketplace they are competing with each other

ldquoI can control the price of Sonya but the retailer cansay lsquoI can buy Jazz cheaperrsquo They become competitivewith each otherrdquo said Verbrugge who is nonetheless stillooking for exceptional new varieties

ldquoWe feel like we need to be doing thatrdquo he said ldquoWersquorestill making sure wersquore investing in and looking at varietiesand club varietiesmdashmaking sure we have control overhem because it does create excitement in the

marketplacerdquo

Great nameFor Verbrugge to be interested the variety must have a

great name along with all the right quality attributesOther shippers agree that a new variety would have a

better chance of success if it was marketed under onename

Wolter said if the variety was going to be a small-vol-ume item to sell in a few markets around the countrymdashsohat marketers wouldnrsquot be competing against each

othermdashit might be possible to have multiple names But if t is going into large-scale production having multiple

names would make it challenging and confusingldquoHaving the right name is hugerdquo Sand said ldquoWho

could have come up with a better name than HoneycrispAnd when they came up with Red Delicious it was a greatapple but it had a great namerdquo bull

Orchardists growing Honeycrisp apples on

weak soils might want to try mounding soilthree or more inches above the graft unionand leaving it for the first two or three yearsafter planting

Michigan State University horticulturist Dr Ron Perry gave that advice while speaking to growers in the TraverseCity Michigan area where soils are sandy even gravellyand Honeycrisp trees propagated on dwarfing rootstocksoften runt out before they fill their space in the orchardPerry spoke during the Northwest Michigan Orchard andVineyard Show in January

ldquoYou can grow high-quality Honeycrisp heremdashproba-bly better than anywhererdquo he said ldquoBut itrsquos a weak-grow-ng variety You definitely want to keep the precocity of he dwarfing rootstocks so donrsquot use MM106 to get

greater vigorrdquoPerry noticed that mounding increased the vigor of

Honeycrisp trees when he tried mounding of apple trees

on dwarfing rootstocks to avoid problems with dogwoodborer

ldquoWe are beginning to notice that mounding may alsoimprove canopy vigor on this weak-growing varietyrdquo hesaid emphasizing that this is an observation not theresult of a controlled scientific study

Growers donrsquot want to plant trees deeper because thatcan cause scion rooting Perry stressed He recommendsthat apple trees be planted with the graft union four to six inches above the soil line Scion rooting can result in treesthat are 20 feet tall after ten years which makes themproblematic in high-density plantings

Trees settle in the ground following planting ldquoOver-growth at the union on dwarfing rootstocks can result inthe expansive scion tissue reaching down to the soil andstriking rootsrdquo Perry explained ldquoScion roots more thanone-half inch in diameter will negate the dwarfing rootstock influence especially after the fifth growing seasonrdquo

Taming burr knotsGrowers face something of a Catch 22 When the unio

is set at six inches or higher above the soil the rootstoshank is exposed which for most dwarfing rootstockmeans the potential development of burr knots he saiBurr knots are troublesome because they attra damaging insects

The MSU horticulturists found that covering the graunion will protect newly planted trees from dogwooborers and also from cold weather during the first winteBorers and also woolly apple aphid are attracted to thburr knots feeding on and laying eggs in these ldquoprimodial rootrdquo sites he said The borer larvae invade and castunt or even girdle and kill the trees New Yoresearchers estimate that half of the apple trees on dwar

ing rootstocks in that state will be infested by borerPerry said He suggested that it is nearly that high Michigan as well

Growers now use an annual trunk spray of Lorsba(chlorpyrifos) to control borers the only chemical treament available and one that might not survive US Envronmental Protection Agency scrutiny in the futurThorough coverage is needed on the lower trunk in eac year of the first five years in late June to mid-July

MSU researchers reported in 2005 that almost totcontrol could be achieved by covering the rootstock witsoil eliminating the need for the insecticide treatment

At the same time covering burr knots will encourathe resting primordial roots to extend into the soil adventitious roots and that may add vigor to the growintree in the early years Perry said

In his work with dogwood borer suppression soil mounded about three inches above the union within

month after planting After three years he noticed if thmound is still in place adventitious roots might initiaabove the union from scion tissue and that should bavoided By the third year the mounded soil might haveroded and settled to below the union but if not it mube removed with high-pressure water or some othmethod Adventitious roots that initiate from the scioonce exposed to air will die or can be clipped off woody scion roots have been established cut them off

Meanwhile the roots that initiate from the burr knoon the rootstock shank extend into the soil profile and nlonger provide a food source for the insect larvae Theroots become woody with bark similar to that seen o

Mounding Honeycrispmay overcome weak soils


by Richard Lehnert



branches and trunks These bark-covered roots do notexpress phytotoxic symptoms when herbicide treatmentsare directly applied Perry said

Trees in orchards where scion roots have been gener-ated will show excessive vigor after six or seven years andhis problem canrsquot be rectified he said

Dwarfing effect

The higher the bud union is above the ground themore dwarfing effect there is on the tree ldquoEuropeans haveused this knowledge for years in ultra-high density plant-ngs to keep trees weak by planting so that unions are as

high as 12 inches above soilrdquo Perry saidHis ldquorule of thumbrdquo suggests that for the M9 root-

stock every inch the graft union is above the groundranslates to 6 to 12 inches reduction in tree height

In using the practice of mounding to avoid problemswith dogwood borer he has noted that those trees thatgenerated roots on the rootstock shanks have improvedvigor

In the case of weak-growing Honeycrisp on dwarfing ootstocks this could be an additional benefit beyond

avoidance of dogwood borers he said ldquoThatrsquos already quite a benefit when considering that forming the mounds only done once at planting time rather than treating thensects each year as they attempt to infest during thoseirst seven years when trees are vulnerable to attackrdquo bull

each trees it is often said love to die and willfind any excuse to do it

Thatrsquos a bit harsh But peach trees and other

stone fruits are much more susceptible to virusdiseases than are the pome fruits like apple

and these viruses wear down orchards Growers lose aew trees every year until finally the orchard is uneco-

nomical The name of the game is warding off tree deathas long as possible There are no cures for virus-causeddiseases or for nematodes that often transmit the virusesThe name of the game is prevention

Dr John Halbrendt a Pennsylvania State University plant pathologist specializing in nematode and virus dis-eases at the Fruit Tree Research and Extension Center inBiglerville recommends a step-by-step approach thatstarts with a soil test for nematodes before planting a new orchardmdasha test that can be done even before an oldorchard is pulled out

Peaches are susceptible to four different nematodesand knowing which ones are present determines the nextsteps Nematodes are plant parasites that attack rootscausing loss of vigor reduced yield reduced winterhardiness and that may vector viruses that kill trees

Dagger nematodesDagger nematodes are the most severe threat as they

vector tomato ring spot virus to which all peach root-stocks are susceptible The virus causes peach stem pit-ing Dagger nematodes by themselves cause little direct

damage from their feeding on peach roots unless they carry the virus

ldquoPeach stem pitting is the most insidious and poten-tially costly disease affecting stone fruit in the NortheastrdquoHalbrendt said ldquoInfected trees show symptoms of stress

and die within two or three years of infectionrdquo Trees may become infected anytime after planting

The natural hosts for dagger nematodes are broad-leaved weeds like dandelions plantains and lambsquar-ters Because these weeds are widespread so are daggernematodes These weeds are resistant to the tomato ring spot virus but the peach trees arenrsquot

Not all weeds are infected with the tomato ring spotvirus and not all dagger nematodes are infected Butbecause the virus can actually be carried in weed seedsorchards are always at risk from new weeds introducedand growing from infected seed Halbrendt said His rec-ommended approach is a combination of nematicidesapplied before planting and good ongoing weed controlto suppress broad-leaved weeds and limit nematodeaccess to the virus

Grasses are not hosts for tomato ring spot virus butthey are good hosts for dagger nematodes Grass alleys inan orchard do not pose a threat to the peach trees Thekey is to keep these nematodes free of the virus by controlling nongrassy weeds

Other nematodesRing nematodes occur on sandy soil especially in the

South and are a major cause of a complicated diseasecalled peach tree short life

An orchard can be fine and then collapse completely within two to three weeks in spring

If tests show that ring nematode is the primary problem on a site the rootstocks Lovell and Guardian providprotection but both of these rootstocks are very suscep

tible to root-knot nematodes The rootstock Nemaguar which provides resistance to root-knot nematodes highly susceptible to ring nematode

Root-knot nematode is a cause of the disease callepeach tree decline Infected orchards show a slow declinas they lose vigor and leaves

Root lesion nematodes are associated with peacreplant disease Infected trees donrsquot grow or grow onslowly because the nematode kills small feeder roots anstarves the trees

Methods of controlNematode problems are more likely on replant sit

than on new sites but new sites may be infected so a teis recommended Halbrendt said Herersquos the program hrecommendsbull Remove tree root residues to reduce population densi

of nematodes and other soil-borne pathogensbull Subsoil or deep plow to rework the soil profile an

improve internal drainagebull Rotate to field crops for at least two years to redu

pathogen populations help eradicate weeds anincrease soil organic matter

bull Lime and fertilize to adjust soil pH and nutrient levefor optimum tree growth and fruit production

bull Submit a follow-up soil sample in the fall before trplanting to determine nematode population densitiand the need for soil fumigation

Protect peaches from nematodesTo lengthen tree life control viruses and the nematodes that transmit them

by Richard Lehnert



Soil fumigationSoil fumigation is recommended if nematode densi-

ies exceed damaging levels if the site has a history of

other soil-borne diseases or if highly susceptible cultivarsare to be planted Halbrendt said He recommends using Telone C-17

Because fumigation is expensive and increasingly raught with regulations an alternative approach is ldquonat-

uralrdquo fumigation sometimes referred to as ldquobiofumiga-ionrdquo This method involves planting a crop or even

better two crops one immediately after the other of thebrassica species Dwarf Essex rape The rape contains pre-cursor chemicals that release those that actually suppressnematodes and these are released only when the plant ismacerated

ldquoThe crop needs to be thoroughly chopped using a flailmower and the residue incorporated into the soil to work effectivelyrdquo Halbrendt said bull

Organicmattermatters

Add organic matter Thatrsquos the shortanswer to better managing your soilsays James Cassidy soil scienceinstructor at Oregon State University and manager of the student-run

university farmCassidy known for holding his student

audience spellbound during soil lecturesthrough his enthusiasm and wit links every-thing in life back to soil ldquoItrsquos all about soilmdashit allcomes from soil and all goes back to soilsooner or later Every single atom in your body

has been through the soil sys-temrdquo He believes that a betterunderstanding of soilmdashhow it works and stores nutrientsmdash will lead to growing better qual-ity fruit

Soil is the most diverse habi-

tat on earth composed of 45percent minerals 5 percentorganic matter and the rest air

and water A single pinch of soil contains morethan a billion living organisms existing in afour-dimensional complex habitat he saidSoil which has formed over time throughdecomposition is essentially ldquorotted rocks anddecomposing organic matterrdquo he explainedduring a cherry research symposium spon-sored by Oregon State University and held atThe Dalles Oregon earlier this year

Aggregate of soil A complete ecosystem is contained within

an aggregate of soil In an aggregate a speck of soil less than a millimeter in size or about thesize of a broken pencil lead the following are

foundmdashBacteriamdashDifferent sized rock particles (sand silt and

clay)mdashMycorrhizaemdashActinomycetesmdashSaprophitic fungusmdashNematodemdashCiliate protozoamdashFlagellate protozoamdashMitesmdashWater ndash held by capillary force

DiversityldquoThe soil activity is whatrsquos happening in

between the soil particlesrdquo Cassidy said ldquoThething to be managing conceptually is manag-ing the pore space and size of the poresrdquo

Diversity is the key to pore space and sizeBig medium small and super tiny pore sizesdistributed throughout the soil profile help thesoil drain and hold water as well as provide airto the roots

Macro pore sizes like worm channels helppull raindrops irrigation water and oxygentogether bringing water and gas exchange to

the roots ldquoThe way to manage pore size is todisturb the soil as little as possiblerdquo he saidadding that minimizing soil disturbance is agood way to preserve pore size distribution

ldquoWe have the power with large tractors to work the soil but resist that urgerdquo he said ldquoThemore we disturb soils the less water and oxy-gen get in One measure of soil quality is how quickly water penetrates

ldquoDiversity of pore size leads to diversity of soil habitat that leads to diverse organisms thatleads to diversity of function that leads to thebreaking down of rockrdquo said Cassidy While itrsquosall about diversity he acknowledges that inagriculture growers are trying to grow onething which can work counter to building adiverse ecosystem

Negative chargeThough sand and silt are primary minerals

that have been ground down into small pieces(sand is just a larger piece than silt) clay is asecondary mineral created by the dissolutionof primary minerals and then recrystallized orsynthesized into layered mineral sheets Thesilica tetrahedral sheets in the clay are wherenutrients like aluminum silica magnesiumpotassium and such are held by net negativecharges that are a result of isomorphic substi-tutions in mineral crystal at the time of recrys-tallization Sand and silt donrsquot have a chargebut clay has the all important negative charge

ldquoAnd what gets stuck to the negativechargerdquo he asks ldquoPositively charged nutrientslike potassium calcium magnesium and mosteverything else a tree needs to growrdquo Withoutthe negative charges he noted that nutrients

could not be stored in the soil and would leacaway

A soilrsquos cation exchange capacity is a meaure of the amount of net negative charge pkilogram of dry soil and therefore a measure how much nutrient can be stored he saidsoil test number of 20 would be good belowis considered low and above 40 would be hig

Moreover the cation exchange capacidetermines the value of a soil he said as so with low CEC have a low net negative charand do not hold nutrients in the soil as well asoils with a high CEC number

Small portion but mightyOrganic matter which is only a small po

tionmdashat best 5 percentmdashof the total makeup soil packs a mighty punch Organic mattinfluences soil properties and plant growth fgreater than its low percentage would indicat

Cassidy said that organic matter adds nutents to the soil provides nutrient storabecause itrsquos negatively charged and is the gluthat creates soil structure Organic matter wiitrsquos negative charge can help improve soils wilow cation exchange capacity It also provid

carbon and energy (food) for the soil microrganisms

The easiest way to add organic matter to sois to grow it in place and mow and blow thgreen manure where itrsquos wanted But addincompost is also effective He advised growerspay attention to the organic matter percentain their soil test results and experiment oparts of their orchard to raise soil organic mater levels Over time see if water infiltratiorates improve and organic matter levels aincreased

Cassidy noted that slow water infiltratiorates are undesirable for several reasons Thfirst two things lost in the runoff are clay partcles and organic matter That causes the soil become sandier and because sand doesnhave a charge the soil loses some of its negativcharge and canrsquot store nutrients bull

ohn Carter cherry and apple grower from The Dalles Oregon is anorganic matter convert He like soil scientist instructor James Cas-sidy believes that organic matter is critical and gives credit to

organic matter for improving his abused soilsldquoThe place I bought had 75 years of abuserdquo said Carter who

Today after several years of adding compost compost teas andother natural products he has raised his soilrsquos organic matter level to2 percent (four years ago it was 14 percent) and his cation exchangecapacity is in the low double digits

Start with soil sampleHe recommends that growers start first with a soil sample having

the lab use a paste-extraction instead of a chemical-extractionmethod The paste-extraction method will tell about the soil solubility he said

ldquoThen add compost that matches what nutrients you need in thesoilrdquo he said ldquoAnd do it slowly Irsquove seen recommendations calling for 2 to 70 tons of compost per acre You canrsquot afford 70 tons per acrerdquo

An application of five tons per acre is less than a half-inch of com-post covering the area he noted Few growers can afford to do whatrsquosneeded to dramatically raise the organic matter level all in one yearbut they can begin at lower rates of several tons per acre

ldquoItrsquos the soil microbes that you are trying to enhance and providefood forrdquo he said adding that enhancing soil microbes will crank uptheir activity and make the soil better ldquoYou have to get an analysisfrom the compost mix because it not only has benefits of organic matter but it also has nutrientsrdquo mdashM Hansen

24 APRIL 15 2012 GOOD FRUIT GROWER

Cornell University pomologist Dr Terence Robinson would never tell applegrowers what to dohellipexactly Their decisions are strictly up to them he tellsthem

But when in the next sentence he starts ldquoIn my opinionrdquo or ldquoWe recom-mendrdquo donrsquot be surprised He firmly states his views and backs them up with

slides showing experimental results graphs showing yields and charts showing economic data that he has steadily built over a dozen years

Robinson is a popular speaker on the winter horticultural meeting circuit He and his colleagues at CornellmdashSteve Hoying Mike FargioneMario Miranda Alison DeMaree Kevin Iungerman and othersmdashhavebeen experimenting with and developing an orchard design system

called tall spindle and a management system to go with it for almost twodecades Robinson has the model orchard firmly in his mind and he givesa passionate talk as he conveys the image to growers

Robinson gave one of those talks to apple growers during the Mid- Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Convention inHershey Pennsylania in February

Not too oldldquoFor those growers who think they can

coast along with their existing plantings or are too old tochange I hope to change your mindsrdquo he said

He described a ldquo50-40-10rdquo plan for orchard planting and renewal in which growers make some new plantingsevery year He recommends that half the new plantingsbe made using solid-performing wholesale varieties while 40 percent are planted to the best new high-pricehigh-demand varieties and 10 percent are new varietiesthat look promising but are gambles on the future Here

are his recommendations step by stepmdashConduct a continual replanting programldquoIrsquom con-

vinced that every apple grower should be planting somenew orchards every yearrdquo he said ldquoIt allows you to stay onthe cutting edge of new varieties and new fruit systemsand to take advantage of the new things you learn each yearrdquo

mdashReplant 4 to 5 percent of the farm annually Thiskeeps the nonbearing percentage under 15 percent andallows the entire farm to be replanted over 20 to 25 yearshe said

mdashPlant fresh fruit blocks at a density of 900 to 1300trees per acre in the tall spindle systemTrees should be3 to 4 feet apart with 10 to 12 feet between rows and athousand trees per acre is probably the most profitabledensity

mdashPlant highly feathered trees and manage them with no pruning but by bending and tying down lateral branches (feathers) in the first year so they will bear fruit already in the second leaf

mdashChoose the right varietiesldquoThe price you receive for your fruit is more importantthan any consideration of orchard designrdquo he said

Right varieties

While Robinson believes that the best profits for grow-ers will come from growing apples for the fresh market heacknowledged that in the Northeast half or more of allapples are grown for processing and many growers planto continue to plant and grow blocks of apples especially for processing Still he said fresh fruit is more profitableby about five orders of magnitude than fruit grown forprocessing

Some varieties can go for either fresh or processingand anybody growing for processing should plant somefruit varieties that can go fresh he said Nonetheless hehas two separate lists of apples to grow depending on theintended market

To minimize risk he said plant the best fresh-marketvarieties on 50 percent of new orchards For New York growers these solid performers include red strains of Gala like Brookfield red strains of McIntosh like LindaMac RubyMac Snappy and Acey Mac Empire and Cortland espe-cially the strains that do well when treated with SmartFresh (1-MCP) the best red strains

of Red Delicious and the Smoothee or Reinders strains of Golden DeliciousTo generate high returns plant 40 percent to new varieties that have been selling at

high prices These include Honeycrisp the Rubinstar DeCoster and Red Prince strains of Jonagold Golden Supreme the early strains of Fuji like September Wonder Auvil Earlyand Beni Shogun the full-season strains of Fuji like Aztec Kiku Fubrax Top Export andSuprema and Cameo

Gamble for very high returns on a small acreage 10 percent he said In New York where in-state growers have access to the new Cornell varieties named New York 1 andNew York 2 these should be planted in that ldquogambling on the futurerdquo category It alsoincludes for growers anywhere the club varieties Ambrosia Pintildeata Jazz Envy PacificRose Blondee and SweeTango

In the processing category the solid-performing 50 percent in New York includeIdared Jonagold McIntosh Cortland Crispin and Rome ldquoYou have additional oneshererdquo he told the Mid-Atlantic growers

Those in the 40 percent category that processors pay a premium for include AutumnCrisp and Granny Smith

Choosing the right apple varietiesmdashones that enjoy good con-sumer demand and sell for a good pricemdashis the most importantstep an apple grower can take toward profitability says Dr Terence Robinson Cornell University pomologist

But once a grower makes his choices the real hard work begins The orchard needs to be planted and the choice of rootstocksand spacings are vitally important

ldquoIf you do everything right you can still make money if you plant theright variety in an 8 by 16 spacing and 340 trees per acrerdquo Robinson toldapple growers at the Mid-Atlantic Fruit and Vegetable Convention in Hershey Pennsylvania in February

But he added economic analyses show the highest profitability occurs when growers plant about 1000 trees per acre It is up to thegrower to find the combination of rootstock and soil that will fill thespace rapidly but not be too vigorous at that spacing

prove new rootstocks for several yearswith the specific goal of putting fireblight-esistant rootstocks andor replant

disease-resistant rootstocks into each of he current size niches from small treeso large

So far not many Geneva rootstockshave been available for growers to plantAbout 325000 were produced in 2009400000 in 2010 and 600000 in 2011mdashin amarket that needs 15 million rootstocks ayear he said

ldquoThere will be 500000 G11 linersplanted in US nurseries this coming spring and 1 million in 2013rdquo he said Pro-duction of G41 this year will be nearly 300000 he said

Geneva released seven rootstocksbefore 2010 and another six since thenOf the rootstocks now being commercial-zed G65 is the smallest (M27 size) G11s the size of M9 T337 G935 is the size of

M9 Pajam2 and G41 and G16 are inbetween G11 and G935 G202 is the sizeof M26 and G30 the size of M7 andMM106

smaller than M26 G969 and G213 justbigger than M26 G210 the size of M7-MM106 and G809 which is halfway between M7 and seedling size

Growers should look closely at the NC-140 rootstock trials to see which root-stocks perform best in their area This is

critical he saidHe noted that at Champlain New

York the northerly production area justsouth of Montreal varieties on M9 root-stocks yield only 67 percent as much ashe same varieties and rootstocks planted

at Geneva where winter temperatures arewarmer he said

Yet when planted on G935 they doequally well in both places G935 is acold-hardy rootstock he said

G214 which is the size of M9 Pajam2and rated as highly yield efficient produc-ive resistant to fireblight and tolerant toeplant disease has not as yet produced

any liners for commercial useldquoWe have had a setback in the develop-

ment of stool beds of G214 and its prop-agation is starting over an 18-month

delayrdquo Robinson told growers in January during the International Fruit Tree Asso-ciation tour to Chile That news was published in the January 15 Good Fruit

Density effectRobinson also said that growers must

learn from experience how to compensatefor the density effect when choosing

rootstocks While the rootstock itself affectsthe size of a tree and thus determines how closely they can be spaced the spacing affects root competition so closer spacing

itself produces smaller treesManagement of the tree also affects its

size When limbs point upward the tree will grow shorter and wider he said If thefeathers are bent down below horizontaltrees will be taller and slenderer

Orchard floor managementSod alleyways should be maintained free of blooming plants

by Richard Lehnert

A

well-managed orchardmdashwhether pome fruitor stone fruitmdashis made up of the right treesplanted in weed-free strips separated bylawn-quality sod alleyways that are free of all

flowering plantsThatrsquos the look advocated by Rutgers University weed

specialist Dr Bradley Majek He contends that whenabels on insecticides say ldquodonrsquot apply during bloomrdquo it

doesnrsquot mean just tree bloom it means bloom in theorchard of any kind

ldquoThat labeling is meant to protect pollinators no mat-er what is attracting them to the orchardrdquo he said ldquoThat

could mean dandelions in the spring white clover in thesummer or goldenrod and white asters later in theseasonrdquo

That means the ldquosod alleyrdquo should really be sod andnot just a collection of whatever happens to grow there

Majek advocates that growers plant tall fescue or hardescue when establishing an orchard

ldquoBoth types of fescue are tolerant to disease droughtow pH and low fertilityrdquo he said ldquoThey compete effec-ively with weeds do not spread or creep into the tree row

by rhizome or stolen growth and are semi-dormantduring the hot dry summer monthsrdquo

Tall fescue is more vigorous and is more easily established he said but requires more frequent mowing

ldquoThe addition of clover or other legumes is notecommended for orchard sodsrdquo he said

While they do fix some nitrogen they are alternatehosts for pests especially tomato ringspot virus and they lower luring bees to the orchards and exposing them tonsecticides

Before planting the trees plant 25 to 75 pounds of fes-cue seed per acre in late summer into fertilized soil hesuggests Use a good seeder that puts seed into the soiland pack it firmly Plant the fescue only where the perma-nent alleys will be Where the tree rows will be plantperennial ryegrass which grows fast

In late fall or early the next spring use the herbicideglyphosate to kill strips of sod where the trees will beplanted and plant directly into the killed sod Killing thesod in late fall or early winter will allow the sod roots tobreak down so using a tree planter will be easier in thespring The dead sod will provide organic matter helpsuppress weeds and prevent soil erosion until the treesare growing well The width of the strip should be from 33

to 40 percent of the alley width or narrower if a mo vigorous rootstock is used The sod can be used to reduvigor somewhat he said

It will take 15 to 22 months to establish a dense socompetitive with weeds he said During that time hsuggests using Prowl H2O each spring to control annugrasses and 24-D to control broadleaf weeds The herbcide 24-D works well on dandelions but is weaker o white clover Stinger which is better on clover is labelfor use on stone fruits Starane Ultra will suppress whiclover in pome fruits he said

Tillage not recommended While few orchardists maintain clean-tilled orchar

today clean tillage was once widely used especially bpeach growers The pros and cons of tillage or no tillag were once debated

Weeds compete for water nutrients sunlight anspace he said and are a host for pest insects and diseasand provide cover for rodents They can compete f pollination and they reduce harvest efficiency

Clean tillage eliminates these problems but at thexpense of soil quality Tillage destroys organic matte which leads to soil compaction and poor water infiltrtion and opens the ground to soil erosion Tillage aldamages tree roots making them vulnerable to diseasand less able to take up nutrients and water

Sod he said adds roots to the soil that improve sostructure water uptake and formation of healthy soaggregates

Sod row middles are minimally competitive with trefor water and nutrients he said They provide a goo working surface for machinery

No volesOne additional benefit comes from mowing Maje

recommends growers use a side-discharge mower raththan a flail mower and throw the grass clippings into th weed-free strip This addition of mulch replaces organ

matter that can not grow there because of the herbicidebut does not make enough residue to be attractive rodents like voles

Were it not for the problem of voles he said growemight want to choose mulch as a better choice for weecontrol than herbicides In experiments he conductefruit trees made their best growth and best yield undmulches either of fabric or of leaves or similar organmaterials like wood chips or hay The mulches reduce sotemperatures and increase both moisture and fertilitBut the problem of rodents even under fabric has not ybeen solved he said

Tall fescue sod requires an annual fertilizer prograthat provides 40 to 80 pounds of nitrogen annually Somof this will be transferred to the tree rooting areas as thsod is mowed and the clippings blown into the row

Majek presented this information as the Ernie ChriMemorial Lecture during the Mid-Atlantic Fruit an Vegetable Convention in Hershey Pennsylvania bull

Weeds harbor fruit-feeding pests

by Richard Lehnert

Adecade and more ago it was thought that plant diversity in fruit orchards wasa good thing that clover and broadleaf weeds provide shelter and alternativefood sources for beneficial insects and mites that feed on or parasitize insectand mite pests But now the thinking is plant diversity is more beneficial todiseases and pests than it is to the beneficials that prey on them

Dr Peter Shearer an entomologist at Oregon State Universityrsquos Mid-Columbia Agri-cultural Research and Extension Center in Hood River Oregon participated in much of he research after he began work at Rutgers University in New Jersey in 1996 He still uses

that decadersquos worth of data and those conclusions in making recommendations to growers

ldquoI was once a proponent of plant diversityrdquo he saidldquoBut it seems pests prefer these alternate hosts more thanthe beneficials do

ldquoOur research at Rutgers and on growersrsquo farmsdemonstrated the importance of removing broadleaf weeds to minimize damage from several key pestsrdquo hesaid ldquoManaged-sod drive rows and weed-free tree rowsreduce catfacing insect abundance and damage inpeachesrdquo

ldquoCleanrdquo orchardsmdashwhether clean tilled or with grasssod alleysmdashreduced damage by 60 percent he said andsimilar research in Oregon and Canada showed reduceddamage in pears and apples as well

In peaches at least eight arthropod pests are associ-ated with orchard ground cover he said These include tarnished plant stinkbugs greenpeach aphids tufted apple budmoth two-spotted spider mites false chinch bugseafhoppers and thrips

Tarnished plant bugs cause the most damage to New Jersey peaches where they are

season-long pests from prebloom to harvest They and stinkbugs cause catfacing fromeeding on the fruit

ldquoWe know we can get reduced pest pressure by controlling weedsrdquo he saidIn his studies he found that keeping orchards totally free of vegetationmdashby use of

herbicides or tillagemdasheffectively reduced the level of tarnished plant bug to just abovezero even when no insecticides were used to control it

With no insecticides orchards kept vegetation-free using herbicides had 3 percentdamage from tarnished plant bugs Grassed alleys containing fescues or Kentucky blue-grass did shelter more tarnished plant bugs but less than half the number that wereound in orchards with white clover or weeds where damage levels in the study were

about 10 percent Weed-free sod ground cover also delayed the onset of tarnished plantbugs in the orchard by a month he said reducing the number of sprays growers neededo apply Damage by thrips and Japanese beetle was also lower in clean-tilled orchards orhose with sod alleys

Grasses are not good hosts for pests but they need to be mowed to suppress flowering and the formation of seed heads he said

Shearer also reminds growers that peaches have extrafloral nectar glands at the baseof leaves providing beneficial insects with an in-orchard food source even when thereare no flowers bullwwwgoodfruitcom GOOD FRUIT GROWER APRIL 15 2012 2

any scientists said weeds could never develop resistance to glyphosate butin the late 1990s they were proven wrong

ldquoAs weed scientists we were flabbergastedrdquo Dr Bradley Hanson exten-sion weed specialist with the University of California Davis recalled during a weed management seminar in Wenatchee Washington this winter

Resistance to glyphosate was thought unlikely because of the herbicidersquos uniquemode of action and behavior in plants But there are now at least 13 weed species in theUnited States that have evolved resistance to glyphosate Horseweed also known asmarestail (Conyza canadensis) is one orchard and vineyard weed that has been showing

resistance to glyphosate in California Oregon and now WashingtonSome California populations of a related weed hairy fleabane (Conyza bonariensis) are resistant to both glyphosate and paraquat

What happened Two things Hanson says Roundup-Ready soybeansintroduced in 1996 soon accounted for 90 percent of the countryrsquos 60 mil-lion acres of soybean plantings Then came other Roundup-Ready cropssuch as corn cotton alfalfa and sugar beets which are also grown onmillions of acres Roundup-Ready crops are genetically modified so thatthe herbicidersquos target site in the crop plant is unaffected while the weedsare vulnerable While the resistant crops do not directly cause resistance

in weeds they create an opportunity for in-crop use of a formerly nonselective herbicide which dramatically increases selection pressure for resistant biotypesThe other factor was that glyphosate became much cheaper after the Roundup patent

expired in 2000 and many generic formulations came onto the market That led to atremendous increase in use of the product Glyphosate cost $100 a gallon in the 1970scompared with $50 in 2008 Today growers can buy it for $15 a gallon or even less Hanson said

About 16 million pounds of glyphosate are used annually in California andglyphosate accounts for 40 percent of all herbicide active ingredients used The situationis probably similar in Washington and Oregon

MutationsResistance develops as a result of slight genetic mutations in weeds that can make

them unaffected by the herbicide These mutations occur naturally and are not causedby herbicides Hanson said Occasionally one of these mutations enables a weed to sur-vive exposure to the herbicide and continue to reproduce while susceptible weeds die

When the herbicide continues to be applied populations of these resist-ant plants increase These are weeds that used to be controlled but no

longer are even at higher herbicide ratesThere are two types of resistance target-site and nontarget-site

Herbicides usually affect plants by disrupting the activity of an enzymethat plays a key role in some biochemical process in the plants Target-siteresistance occurs when the enzyme becomes less sensitive to the herbi-cide usually because of a mutation in the gene coding for the protein

Nontarget-site resistance develops without involving the active site of the herbicide inthe plant There are several ways this can happen A common type of nontarget-siteresistance develops when the plant becomes better able to metabolically degrade theherbicide or move it away from the target site

In the United States about 125 weeds have developed resistance to 15 herbicide families Some types of herbicides are more prone to resistance than others

Resistance has been reported to triazine herbicides which are Photosystem IIinhibitors Hanson said These were introduced in the late 1960s and were widely used inthe early 1970s Growers switched to ALS inhibitors which were introduced in the 1980s

but resistance was already seen by the 1990s This is now one of the most commonclasses of herbicides facing resistance

Resistance to protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitors which are widely used inree fruits and grapes is starting to show up Hanson said Products with this mode of

action include Goal (oxyfluorfen) Aim (carfentrazone) Treevix (saflufenacil) Kixor andChateau (flumioxazin)

Resistance to glycines including glyphosate is also causing concern although it is stillelatively minor compared with resistance to other herbicide classes In Oregon Italianyegrass has shown some resistance to Rely (glufosinate)

ldquoThatrsquos trouble brewingrdquo Hanson said ldquoThatrsquos something wersquore keeping an eye onrdquo

Resistance managementPractices that lead to resistance include not rotating crops not using tillage having a

weakly competitive crop and not using herbicides with different modes of action inotation Hanson said

ldquoFor example maybe I plant trees donrsquot use tillage and only use Roundup Thatwould be a bad way to manage resistancerdquo he said On the other hand a complex rota-ion utilizing tillage hand weeding and use of multiple herbicide modes of action will

minimize selection of resistant biotypesSince growers of perennial crops such as tree fruits and grapes canrsquot easily rotate

crops or till the ground herbicide rotations or tank mixes of herbicides with differentmodes of action are the best option

The weeds most likely to develop resistance are annuals that produce a lot of seedsand have little seed dormancy but some seed longevity so that the ones that donrsquot germi-nate right away can persist for a while The worst weeds develop through two or threegenerations per year

The types of herbicides most likely to lose effectiveness because of resistance arehose that have a single mode of action are highly effective are used frequently and at

high rates and have a long residual life The more individuals that are selected with theherbicide the greater the chances of finding resistant mutants Hanson said ldquoIt boilsdown to a numbers gamerdquo

Resistance management is based on reducing selection pressure by rotating herbicideswith dif ferent modes of actionmdashnot just dif ferent active ingredients or families of herbicides he stressed

Tank mixes help as long as the herbicides target the same weeds Applying a herbicidehat targets grasses with one that targets broadleaf weeds is not managing resistance

but managing the weed spectrum Hanson saidKeep good records of what you have used and where yoursquove seen failures he advised

Not every weed control failure is due to resistance but if healthy plants are intermixedwith dying plants of the same species itrsquos a strong sign of resistance A patch of uncon-rolled weeds that is spreading from year to year can also be a sign of resistance Monitor

your orchard and control escapes before they become large problems he suggested bull


Herbicide-resistant weedsWeeds have developed resistance to several classes of herbicides in the United States

The number of weed species showing resistance to glycines (including glyphosate)

has increased over the past 15 years

Fruit growers have a choice among several resid-ual herbicides and postemergence herbicidesthat are registered for application in tree cropsand they should use several each year to managethe vegetation in the tree strip

Reliance on too few herbicides can lead to weed resist-ance to herbicides proliferation of weed species that arenot suppressed by the chosen herbicides or to a build-upof herbicides in the soil that may result in tree injury saysDr Bernard Zandstra the horticultural weed controlspecialist at Michigan State University

Zandstra reported that several new herbicides havebeen labeled for fruit trees in recent years and others aren the process of registration With several active herbi-

cides available for residual weed control he advises grow-ers to know the modes of action of the various herbicidesand then use herbicides with at least two different modes

of action when making applications of preemergencematerials in fall and spring Then rotate herbicides withdifferent modes of action every year Along with the resid-ual herbicides he recommends using foliar-active herbicides to kill emerged weeds

Zandstra spoke to apple and cherry growers at theNorthwest Michigan Orchard and Vineyard show in January 2012 He outlined some ldquomodelrdquo herbicide programs that fruit growers might use over several years

Weed control in applesIn apple orchards established for three years or more

Zandstra suggested this three-year program for apples(rates are pounds of product per acre of land treated notper acre of orchard)

Starting in the spring of year one apply 1 pound of Sinbar (terbacil)or 3 pounds of Karmex (diuron) Then

follow-up in June with a quart of glyphosate and 2 ouncof Venue (pyraflufen-ethyl) In the fall use 5 ounces Alion (indaziflam) and 1 quart of glyphosate

In the spring of the second year apply 4 ounces Matrix (rimsulfuron) 3 pounds of Karmex anglyphosate In June apply 1 ounce of Treevix (saflufenacand 1 ounce of Venue In the fall apply 4 pounds Solicam (norflurazon) and 14 gallons of Casoron C(dichlobenil) and 1 quart of glyphosate

In year three start with 4 pounds of Princep (simazinplus 4 quarts of Surflan (oryzalin) or Prowl H2

(pendimethalin) in the spring In June apply 3 pints Rely 280 (glufosinate-ammonium) and 1 ounce of VenuIn the fall of year 3 apply 8 to 12 ounces of Chatea (flumioxazin) plus glyphosate

Weed control in cherriesFor weed control in cherries Zandstra recommends

use of glyphosate only once each year in the fallHerersquos his ldquomodelrdquo three-year program for cherriesIn the spring apply 4 quarts of Prowl H2O and 4

ounces of Matrix Then in June use 2 ounces of Aim (car-entrazone) plus 2 ounces of Venue That fall apply 5

ounces of Alion and 1 quart of glyphosateIn year two start in the spring with 2 quarts of Goal-

Tender (oxyfluorfen) and 2 quarts of Surflan In June usea quart of Gramoxone (paraquat) and 2 ounces of Venuebut remember that Gramoxone has a 28-day preharvestnterval In the fall use 6 to 12 ounces of Chateau and a

quart of glyphosateIn the third year start in the spring with 4 quarts of Prowl H2O and 4 ounces of Matrix In June use 2 quarts of Gramoxone and 2 ounces of Venue That fall apply 5ounces of Alion and 1 quart of glyphosate

Zandstra indicated that growers might want to try Alion for long residual control in apples and cherriesAlion from Bayer CropScience is a new herbicide regis-ered for pome and stone fruits and it will be registeredor additional fruit crops in the future Alion has long esidual activity and is active against weeds that have

developed resistance to Karmex Princep (simazine)glyphosate and other widely used herbicides he said

Sandea (halosulfuron-methyl) is now labeled for pre-emergence and postemergence control of yellow nutsedge in apples It also controls pigweeds and mostcomposites The Sandea label will be expanded to includeother fruit crops in the coming years

Treevix is a new herbicide from BASF that is especially effective against horseweed (marestail) It currently isabeled for apples and pears

Zandstra reminded the growers that Kerb (pronamide)s an old herbicide that is very effective against quack-

grass especially when applied in the fall He also said thatSelect Max (clethodim) is the most effective graminicideor postemergence control of annual bluegrass which is

often a problem in fruit orchards in the springStinger (clopyralid) may be used postemergence in

Bernard Zandstrarsquos herbicide testing program

shows the strengths and weaknesses of

individual herbicides




While glyphosate still effectively controls many weeds including annualand perennial grass and broadleaf weeds many factors play a role in how well it works says Tim Miller weed scientist with Washington State University in Mount Vernon

Since glyphosate came off patent in 2000 many different formulationshave been marketed At least 40 glyphosate products are available in Washington StateGlyphosate is formulated as a salt About 80 percent of glyphosate formulations contain isopropylamine salt

Others include potassium diammonium trimethylsulfonium or sesquidodium Thesalt makes the glyphosate a little more soluble so the concentration can be higher and italso stabilizes the product It enables the glyphosate acid to enter the plant a little moreeasily and it moves better throughout the plant

Although there is little difference in the activity of the different formulations they dodiffer in concentration of both the active ingredient (the salt) and the glyphosate acidequivalent For example Touchdown HiTech has 6 pounds of active ingredient per gallonand requires 19 ounces per acre to achieve the 075 pounds of acid equivalent whereasmost generics contain 4 pounds of active ingredient per acre and require 32 ounces peracre to achieve the 075 pounds of acid equivalent

Get the most out of GLYPHOSATEThe many formulations available do about the

same job but the rates required can differ

MIX it up

S

uccessful long-term weed control depends on using all available methods rather than just on

repeatedly scientists sayldquoMix it uprdquo Rick Boydston weed scientist with the US Department of Agriculture in Prosse Washington urged during a recent weed management workshop in Washington State ldquoDonrsquot use anmethod over and over until it fails Mix it up to prevent resistance from developingrdquo

An orchard or vineyard typically has a mixture of weed species but if some portion of that mix is toerant or resistant to a weed control strategy that is used repeatedly there will be a shift in the dominanspecies

Scientists stress that chemicals should be used as part of an integrated program that might includother methods such as

bull mechanical (cultivation flaming mowing and mulches)bull cultural (screening irrigation water cleaning field equipment controlling weeds around the edg

of the orchard or vineyard and planting weed-free cover crops between rows)bull biological (releasing organisms such as insects that inhibit growth or seed production)Eliminating production of weed seeds is the key to successful weed management Use cultivatio

mowing or herbicides with different modes of actions to prevent the weed from flowering anproducing seed

Preventing resistance

Prevention is the most effective and economical way to reduce the threat of glyphosate-resista weeds When using chemicals combine an herbicide that has soil residual activity with glyphosa(which does not) or with another postemergence herbicide to extend the period of weed control anreduce the need for multiple applications of glyphosate advises Ed Peachey weed scientist with OregoState University in Corvallis

If resistance to glyphosate has not developed use preemergence treatments followed by a tank mof postemergence products Also consider using other nonselective herbicides such as glufosinate paraquat with PPO inhibitors such as Aim (carfentrazone) Goal (oxyfluorfen) and Treevix (saflufenacfor burndown control

To delay resistance use high glyphosate rates Resistance to glyphosate is likely to be caused by several mechanisms in the plant and not just one genetic mutation so it is important to use a full label rato delay resistance This is unlike other situations where reduced rates might be recommended in ordto reduce selection pressure

If weeds have become resistant to glyphosate growers can continue to use glyphosate but shoutank mix it with other herbicides that are effective on the resistant weeds and should target weeds whethey are small and easier to control mdashG Warner

Tim Miller says that with most perennial weeds

the bud stage is the most vulnerable



SurfactantGeneric formulations usually contain a surfactant

which changes the surface tension of the solution mak-ng it better able to penetrate the cuticle of the leaves

Though there is no need to add a surfactant it doesnrsquotharm to do so Miller said Normally moisture beads upon the leaf surface and adding a surfac-ant to the mix can increase the surface

contact of the moisture on the leaf It canalso slow evaporation of herbicidedroplets and increase their rain-fastness

Because glyphosate is negatively charged it binds tightly to phosphatesorption sites in soils and soil activity isare Miller said thatrsquos an advantage if you

want to plant a crop right after the herbi-cide treatment but it means that the her-bicide will not provide long-term controlbecause it has no residual effect and itmight need to be applied several times insuccession to provide complete weedcontrol

Negatively charged glyphosate can alsobind to cations in the water such as cal-cium sodium magnesium and iron Thisakes the glyphosate out of solution and

prevents it getting into the plant andkilling it

Fertilizer Adding a fertilizer such as ammonium sulfate or

ammonium nitrate can improve the activity of glyphosate particularly in hard water The negatively charged sulfate will preferentially bind to the calcium

sodium magnesium and iron in the water and takehem out of solution so they donrsquot bind with theglyphosate while the positively charged ammoniumbinds with the glyphosate making it move through theplant cuticle more easily More glyphosate in the plantcells results in better translocation through the plant

Some glyphosate formulations recommend mixing with ammonium sulfate for this reason Water condition-ers have the same effect

Miller recommended that growers do a compatibility est with the fertilizer and glyphosate before mixing a

whole tank If dry ammonium sulfate is used nonsolublematerials such as sand and gravel will need to be filteredout Make it up to a slurry and strain out the solids beforeadding it to the spray tank to prevent clogging the noz-zles Do this before adding the glyphosate before theglyphosate has chance to bind to the cations

Miller said if the water is soft adding a fertilizer might

not be necessary but he knows of no negative conse-quences of adding ammonium sulfate and it doesmprove control of some weed species such as spotted

knapweed

Buffers At a low pH level more glyphosate exists as a salt than

a free acid A slightly acidic spray solutionmdashbetween 4and 6mdashresults in better glyphosate uptake If the pH ishigher than 7 consider using a buffer Buffers are com-monly used with pesticides and fungicides but not oftenwith herbicides but Miller said it could make a differencewith glyphosate

DustBecause glyphosate binds with soil molecules it will

also bind to the dust on foliage making it ineffective If he foliage is dusty it might be a good idea to irrigate

before applying the herbicide to make sure the leaves areclean and ensure maximum uptake of the product

Spray volumeGlyphosate seems to work better in lower spray vol-

umes Miller said itrsquos not clear exactly why but it might bebecause growers use smaller nozzles when using lower volumes resulting insmaller droplets and better spray cover-age Another possibility is that when thereis less volume of water there are fewercations to bind with the glyphosate andmore active ingredient available to work on the plant

Tank mixturesSome other herbicides make glypho-

sate less effective against certain weeds when theyrsquore mixed together Herbicides with this possible effect include Aim (carfentrazone) Spartan (sulfentrazone)Sencor (metribuzin) and certain antidriftadjuvants These should be applied separately from glyphosate rather thantank mixed

Miller said a possible reason for theincompatibility is that the contact herbi-cides might be killing the plant cellsbefore glyphosate which tends to be slow acting has a chance to translocate out

into the rest of the plantldquoYou want to minimize the amount of damage to the

plant to allow the translocation to occurrdquo he said ldquoHit it with glyphosate first and come back later with the

contact herbicide to knock it down quickrdquo

ClimateTemperature and humidity have a big impact on how

well glyphosate works Miller said The easiest plant to kill with glyphosate is a healthy rapidly growing plantbecause the glyphosate is better able to translocatethroughout all the tissues

It will have much less effect on a plant thatrsquos suffering from cold stress heat stress or drought stress and is notgrowing rapidly When applied in cold spring weatherthe glyphosate might not work until the weather warmsup ldquoItrsquos not being detoxifiedrdquo Miller said ldquoItrsquos just sitting there waiting for the plant to start growingrdquo

A glyphosate application should be rain fast after six hours because it should be taken up by the plant withinthat time

Glyphosate seems to work better in higher light levels

perhaps because more photosynthesis is occurring andthe plant is translocating glyphosate along with the sug-ars For this reason morning applications are thought tobe better than afternoon treatments

Stage of weed growth With most perennial weeds the bud stage is the most

vulnerable either in spring or early summer Glyphosatecan also be applied in late fall as long as the plant still hasat least 50 percent green tissue

Biennial weeds are best treated during the first year By the second year they are producing seeds and are moretolerant of the herbicide

Treat annuals as early as possible as soon as seed germination is complete for the year but wait until mostof the weeds are up and growing since glyphosate has noresidual activity Miller advised bull

Identify why a vineyard

needs replanting before

planning how to do it

by Melissa Hansen

Wine grape vineyards are replanted for ahost of reasonsmdashto change varietiesreplace diseased or winter-damagedvines and change trellis systems or vinespacings When itrsquos time for vineyard

eestablishment what are the options challenges andeconomics of replanting

The recent spate of vineyard replanting in WashingtonState is not unprecedented says Jim McFerran director of viticulture for Milbrandt Vineyards in Mattawa Vineyardsof Chenin Blanc and Semillon varieties were removed inhe 1980s and replaced with potentially higher-valued

varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot and Chardonnayn the 1990s replanting was due to winter freezes (1991

and 1996) that caused widespread damage and vinedeath and grapevine leafroll disease in Pinot Noir andLemberger varieties

But lately interest in replanting has resulted from aculmination of factors McFerran said ldquoA lot of vineyardsare now 25 to 30 years old Wersquore beginning to see the seri-ousness of leafroll virus hitting Cabernet Sauvignon vine-yards and to a lesser degree Merlot and Chardonnay andmany of these same vineyards have been through five orsix major freeze events in their life and are in declinerdquo

McFerran discussed his vineyard reestablishment

experiences at Milbrandt Vineyards owned by brothersButch and Jerry Milbrandt and the companyrsquos approachduring a session on vineyard reestablishment that waspart of the annual meeting of the Washington Associationof Wine Grape Growers in February

In 2007 Milbrandt Vineyards purchased an existing vineyard on the Wahluke Slope The 130-acre vineyardwas planted to 17 varieties in 35 blocks with many blocksess than four acres in size ldquoWe knew wersquod be challenged

with the block design and multitude of varietiesrdquoMcFerran said ldquoAt Milbrandt we already have about 200acres that look exactly like that and we cater thosevineyards and blocks toward the boutique marketrdquo

The first step in deciding if or how the vineyard shouldbe changed was to determine where the grapes wouldgomdashto the custom crush Wahluke Wine Company forbulk wine Milbrandt Vineyards wines or high-endboutique wineries McFerran said they considered the

ollowing in regards to the newly purchased vineyardbull isolated location (access is by canal road 30 minutes

from central operations)bull timing of vineyard tasks and harvest relative to

already-owned vineyardsbull operating expenses (remote location increases

operating expenses)bull level of attention to detail that can be given in such a

remote locationbull labor demands and supervisionbull potential wine quality and yieldbull potential revenue of sitebull site and variety suitability (hot windy site)bull age of vines productivity and severity of leafroll

diseasebull existing vine row width and length (row widths were

two feet wider and row lengths shorter than standardspacing in other Milbrandt vineyards)

bull marketability of vineyard to boutique wineries

ldquoWhen we considered all these things we ultimately decided there was opportunity for changerdquo McFerransaid adding that the company believed the vineyard would best suit the wines of Milbrandt Vineyards and the Wahluke Wine Company ldquoIf we set those targets webelieved that we could manage the vineyard to the best of our abilityrdquo

Changes were made in the vineyard that would lead tobetter managementmdashremoving some rows and roadslengthening row distances expanding block sizes remov-ing some varieties and planting others The vineyard wentfrom 35 blocks to 14 and from 17 varieties down to 8 Vari-eties now grown are primarily Cabernet Sauvignon Petit Verdot and Merlot

ldquoWe wanted to farm the parcel in a professional man-nerrdquo he said ldquoWersquore glad that we made all these changes

though we ask ourselves why did we spend as muchmoney on the changes as we did for the property It mightnot make a lot of sense but itrsquos an awesome site andsome of our very best wines come from this vineyardrdquo

Replant decisionsOnce the reason ldquowhyrdquo a vineyard should be replanted

is identified the ldquohowrdquo can be decided said Dean Desser-ault vineyard manager for Hogue Ranches in ProsserldquoOnce you decide if yoursquore removing only plants trellisand plants or trellis plants and irrigation system then you can plan the howrdquo

If the replanting reason is to change a variety thatdoesnrsquot fit the current market or is not the right variety forthe site Desserault said growers may or may not want toleave the existing trellis and irrigation system in place ldquoIf the plants were healthy and the soil healthy but vines were just the wrong variety at Hogue we might leave thetrellis in place If the plants coming out are unhealthy but

the soil is healthy again we might leave the trellis placerdquo

But if any soil work needs to be done such as fumigtion or ripping he usually removes the trellis system Anif the trellis system needs repair and upgrading or vinspacing needs changing the trellis goes

Removal optionsItrsquos possible to remove the plants and leave the trellis

place though he admits the task is much easier if thvines are young With young vines the cordon wire is cufree from the vines loppers are used to chop down thvines and trunks and roots are pulled out and placed the middle of the rows for flailing and mulching

ldquoBut older larger vines are more difficultrdquo Desserausaid Plants are cut down below the cordon wire an

pulled out then the cordon wire is cut and removealong with loose posts and other wires

Removing both plants and the trellis system is a mocomplicated process Wire must be removed (leave thcordon wire in until trellis stakes are pulled out) wooandor steel stakes and posts pulled out and anchposts removed Vines are then removed and pushed inpiles for burning later A root lifter is run through the vin yard to bring any broken crowns and roots up to th surface

ldquoWe like to do our vineyard removals in the fall so thburn piles can dry out and then we get a permit and dour burning in the springrdquo he said Wire is collected frothe burn piles and removed from the vineyard

Desserault noted that grafting over a vineyard is aoption if the soil health and trellis system are sounldquoWersquove done this a little bitmdashwith varying resultsmdashbut itan optionrdquo

Reestablishinga vineyard

Challenges usually include diseases

by Melissa Hansen

When planting or replanting a site with vines diseaseand site contaminationare often the two biggestchallenges that growers

must mitigate said Dr Wade Wolfe con-sultant and owner of Thurston Wolfe Winery Prosser Washington

ldquoEssentially all of the old vineyardshave some level of disease contamina-tionrdquo Wolfe said adding that growersshould test vines for leafroll and otherviruses to determine vine health statusbefore deciding if everything (vines trellis and irrigation system) should beremoved or just the vines leaving the trellis and irrigation system in place

Site contamination issues includeNematodesmdashSeveral species of nema-

todes are found in Washington Nema-todes are common problems in the lightsandy soils of eastern Washington Vine- yard soil samples should be tested fornematodes before planting or replanting

Phylloxera mdashAreas with heavier soilsmay have problems with phylloxera a

tiny louse that feeds on vine roots Poten-tial problem areas are western Washing-ton some areas of Walla Walla andOregonrsquos Willamette Valley Phylloxera hasbeen found in Washington on old Con-cord vineyards though not in wine grapevineyards

Soil-borne fungal diseasesmdashThese areusually not a concern although he hasseen some problems with verticillium wilt where grapes followed potato crops

WeedsmdashNoxious weeds that causeproblems are field bindweed Canadianthistle and Bermuda grass He recom-mended eradicating noxious weedsbefore planting the vineyard

Residual herbicidesmdashKnow the crop-ping history of the ground especially if it

was planted to something beside grapes Was simazine heavily used Wolfe hasseen Merlot vines struggle to becomeestablished in land that was extensively farmed in mint

Heavy metalsmdashHeavy metals such asarsenic were used as pesticides years agoin apple and pear orchards and can affectestablishment of new vineyards thoughthis is rare

VertebratesmdashOld vineyards are oftenheavily infested with gophers sage ratsand other rodents which should be eradicated before planting young vines

To treat weeds and nematodes he sug-gested soil fumigation or leaving theground fallow for one to two years andgrowing brassica as green manure to add

soil tilth and reduce nematode popultions The only treatment hersquos aware of fresidual herbicides in the soil is addinactivated charcoal to the soil

Soil amendments

The condition of the soil should also bconsidered when deciding if vines only the entire vineyard will be removed extensive soil work and amendments aneeded itrsquos more effective to start withclean slate and remove everything

In Wolfersquos viticulture consulting worthe number-one problem he sees in exising vineyards is soil compaction andcaliche ldquoIf the vineyard wasnrsquot crosripped originally the ground will probbly need cross-ripping now that itrsquos oldea chore that is done more easily with thexisting trellis and irrigation systeremovedrdquo

Another common ailment he sees older vineyards that have been drip irrgated for many years is accumulation salts and sodium in the soil both of whiccan impede water penetration and affe

the growth of vines And if the drip systeis 20 years old or more the emitters alikely plugged or semiplugged and shoube replaced Treatment for salt accumultion includes banding sulfuric acid alonthe vine row or adding sulfur Calcium magnesium will also displace sodiumand sprinkler irrigation can drive the salfrom the root zone

Soil nutrient excesses are rare he saithough he has seen high nitrogen leve where hops were grown for many yeabefore grapes Soil samples will indicatenutrients need to be added before vinare replanted

ldquoIf you need to do extreme soil amenment work or need to do ripping or fumgation itrsquos preferable to remove the trel

and irrigation systemsrdquo he said during thvineyard reestablishment session

In a replant situation growers m want to change the row orientation frothe old vineyard ldquoOur row orientatioideas have changed from when wplanted everything in a north-south orentationrdquo he said Depending on yoblock and slope a southwest by northeaslant may be more favorable bull

Best TechnologyWe have been using Victair Sprayer on our own farm for 40+ yearsWhen I went into business for myself the Victair was a natural choice It has exceptional coverage(what else do you buy a sprayer for) itrsquos easy to maintain and usinglower HP tractors saves on fuel costs While in the commercial application business for 35 years we have sprayed

grapes almonds tree fruit citrus walnuts and pecans This sprayer can handlethem all Because of the small droplet technology (50 micron) we can use lesswater while maintaining coverage and therefore less chemicalsmdashusually 30 to40 percent less This is the compact sprayer that can really handle the big jobsItrsquos the best technology on the market
