Insect, Mite, and Mollusk Management Suggestions on Commercial Strawberry Production in Florida1

James F. Price, Curtis Nagle, Elzie McCord, Jr. and Susan E. Webb2

Florida grows primarily fresh market strawberries that were valued at $197 million in 2005, harvested from 7,300 acres3. More than 95% of the crop is produced near Plant City, with smaller production areas in north Florida and around Homestead, FL.

Major early season arthropod pests include lepidopterous larvae, twospotted spider mites, and aphids, some of which may accompany the transplants from their origin. By mid season and later, major concerns are with twospotted spider mites, thrips, fruit (vinegar) flies and sap beetles. Pameras (seed bugs) add to the concern and may evoke complaints when they accompany berries to markets. Widow spiders sometimes are problems in fields where broad spectrum insecticides are infrequently used.

Effective management of arthropod and gastropod pests of strawberry is critical to the profitability of the industry, requires that pests be detected in a timely manner through systematic scouting and that appropriate control measures be applied as conditions warrant.

Biological control measures have been developed for management of twospotted spider mites and are practiced by a significant portion of the industry. Information on biological control of insects and mites in strawberry production is available at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/HS180 and sources of predators for biological control of spider mites are available at http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/HS244. Toxicity information for many pesticides used in Florida strawberry production to commercially available predators of spider mites is summarized at http://www.koppert.nl/e0110.html.

The Tables in this document list pesticides that are presently available to commercial strawberry producers in Florida and are organized alphabetically by the following major pest groups:

Ants

Aphids

Armyworms

Beetles

Budworms

Caterpillars

Crickets

Cutworms & Loopers

Fruit flies

Grubs

Leaftiers & leafrollers

Lesser cornstalk borer

Mites

Mole crickets

Pameras

Plant (Lygus) bugs

Snails & slugs

Spiders

Thrips

Whiteflies

They include beneficial nematode and microbial insecticides, which are components of biological control. For each pest group listed, products available for control are presented by active ingredient. Usually only one or a few examples of each formulation are given; however, there may be other products as effective as those listed. Notes taken from labels are provided to qualify some uses.

Additional information about pesticide products mentioned in the tables, such as registrants, precautionary signal words, restricted re-entry intervals (REI), pre-harvest intervals (PHI), and restricted use status are provided in a separate publication Insecticides, Miticides & Molluscicides Available to Florida's Strawberry Industry (ENY-657) (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/IN400), to aid in the selection and safe use of the pesticides. More detailed information about a pesticide product should be sought on the specimen label. Electronic versions of specimen labels are usually available at the Web sites of CDMS (http://www.cdms.net/manuf/ default.asp), C&P Press (http://www.greenbook.net/) or the affiliated manufacturer.

Many pesticides decompose in the spray tank when mixed with water above pH 7. Growers should test the pH of their water and when above 7, should add a buffering solution to maintain pH between 6.5 and 7. When using a pesticide for the first time, it is important to test the product first on a small portion of the crop and check for any possible detrimental effects over time, such as leaf distortion and plant stunting.

This summary is only a guide to aid in the proper selection of pesticides. Care has been given to provide accurate and up-to-date information, but it is possible that, through label changes, error, etc., improper uses may be indicated. In all cases it is the responsibility of the applicator to read, understand, and comply with the label that accompanies each pesticide container.

As an additional precaution, keep the telephone number and address of the nearest county poison control center in a convenient location in case of an accidental poisoning. Also, keep clean copies of labels of all pesticides on the farm premises. In the event of a poisoning, the label of the pesticide involved should be taken to the poison control center or hospital.
