Soil Degree-Day Accumulation -- KBREC and IREC 2009
For Root-knot nematode control, Vydate applications should begin at 800 degree-days (DD5C).
To estimate that date, add the number of Total degree-days "Total" on the day you planted
to 800. Where that value occurs in the "Total" column estimates the date on which 800 DD5C
will occur in that field. It is recommended that applications continue every 14 days until harvest.
For Stubby-root nematode control, Vydate applications should begin at 0 degree-days (at planting)
and followed by an application at the first full irrigation following emergence. An additional
application is recommended at 800 degree-days (DD5C).

Brian’s Notes
Total P-Day Accumulation
Estimated Emergence - July 7
Crop Water Use: Usage has definitely picked up with the
warmer weather and more advanced crop growth. When feasible, look to irrigate in the evening or at night to take advantage of reduced wind which will improve distribution uniformity and facilitate better canopy drying during the day.

Insect Trap Reports: Overall insect pressure is relatively
low. Beet leafhoppers are being seen more frequently than
last year and are vectors of the purple top phytoplasma
(BLTVA). Aphid numbers in yellow pan traps are also relatively low; however, these numbers are likely to increase as
2nd cutting hay commences.

Soil Degree-Day Accumulation: Values are comparable to
previous years. The 800 DD target will occur shortly for early
planted potatoes. Please read the recommendations on the top
of page 2 if you plan on using Vydate for nematode control/
suppression.
P-day Accumulation: P-days are a measure of potato
physiological growth from the time of emergence. Depending
on emergence dates, growth this year is slightly ahead of 2008
and very similar to 2007. Central Oregon research and extension specialists have noted a strong correlation with 300 pdays and the onset of Early Blight. Early emerged potatoes
have already surpassed this target so check fields closely to
see if symptoms are present. For later planted potatoes, a preventative fungicide might be warranted as the target is getting
close.

Other: I’ve noticed quite a few cull piles throughout the Basin. Late Blight is always a threat and preventative methods
continue to be necessary to disrupt the disease triangle.
We’ve been fortunate this disease has not been a real problem;
however, several fields in the late ‘90s saw the devastating
results of this pathogen. In short, take care of your cull piles!!
