Seasonal Activity of Seedcorn Maggot inGeneva, NY in 2001
Time beyond which SCM rarely causes a problem
1st generation
Insecticides Labeled for Seedcorn MaggotControl in Snap Bean in New York
• Commercial Seed Treatment- Lorsban 50SL (chlorpyrifos)- Gaucho 480 (imidacloprid – SCM removed in 2003) - Cruiser 5FS (thiamethoxam)
• Soil Treatments- Lorsban 4E or Lorsban 15G (Section 24[c]) – in review
• Hopper-Box Treatment (used effectively in DE)- Diazinon 50WP: 1/2 oz per bu. of seed; need to addgraphite for bridging problems

Insecticides Labeled for Potato LeafhopperControl in Snap Bean in NY
• Commercial Seed Treatment- Cruiser 5FS (thiamethoxam)
• Foliar-Applied Insecticides- Dimethoate 4EC (dimethoate) - Asana XL (esfenvalerate)- Orthene 97 (acephate) - Warrior T (lambda-cyhalothrin)- Sevin XLR (carbaryl) - Capture 2EC (bifentrin)- Lannate LV (methomyl) - Mustang Max (Z-cypermethrin)
• Soil-Applied Treatments- Thimet 15G (phorate)- Di-Syston 15G (disulfoton)
Action Thresholds for Potato Leafhopper in Snap Bean
• Sweep net: 5 hoppers per sweep during pre-bloom stage
• Visual inspection:a) 1 nymph per leaf in NY and WIb) 1 nymph per 10 leaves in DE
Problems Encountered using Foliar Sprays
• Must scout fields for PLH
• Adequate spray coverage difficult when plants small
• Timing of sprays is critical and can be complicated bywet field conditions
• Too busy with other farming practices

Current Strategy used to Manage Major Insect Pests of Snap Bean in New YorkCurrent Strategy used to Manage Major Insect Pests of Snap Bean in New York
Strategy Pests Targeted Cruiser with or without Seedcorn maggot + Lorsban @ planting Potato leafhopper + Soybean aphid + Pyrethroid spray @ bloom European corn borer + Potato Leafhopper
Notes: (1) Lorsban should be included in fields containinghigh organic matter (e.g., animal or green manure). (2) Cruisershould provide protection against PLH for 50-60 days after planting.
