| Weather data for Belchertown MA. Forecast values begin May 16, 2012 | |||
| These estimates of maximum safe intervals
between sampling dates for European red mite (ERM) are based on
temperature-driven development rate.
The time required for ERM to grow from egg to reproductive adults
changes dramatically between cool versus hot temperatures. Weekly sampling is usually adequate, but is
more frequent than needed during cool temperatures. Knowing the number of days between
generations allows growers to reduce sample frequency during cool weather,
and alerts growers to periods of extremely rapid mite reproductive capacity
requiring samples every 4 or 5 days to detect population increase before
foliar damage and tree stress occurs.
The resample dates are constrained to require at least one sample during the 7 days before egglaying starts for each generation. Date for 3rd generation eggs is in red, and 4th generation in blue. Those dates may be in the June ERM sample date table. Recommended treatment thresholds change through the summer. See Background page for definition of "below threshold" and "FAR BELOW threshold". |
