The Peach Insect and Disease Management Chart is a tool for peach orchard growers that need a quick carry-around resource to manage insects during certain tree cycles.
The tool includes the most common insect pests and connects those to the best practices of prevention. Insects that this tool covers include scale and European red mite, lesser peachtree borer, thrips, and many more. Farmers can slide the chart to view active ingredients that works best for each insect pest, and when and how to apply it.
To order a slide chart, contact Ayanava Majumdar at azm0024@aces.edu. You can also get a copy from any commercial horticulture regional Extension agent.

Maximum profits in corn production depend on an effective and economical insect management program.
To plan such a program, producers must determine whether insects are present and the amount of damage being done. The “tools of technology” available in managing corn insects are cultural practices, the selective use of insecticides, insect scouting, transgenic varieties, and beneficial arthropods. The effectiveness of these tools can be maximized when used by all growers over a large area. Insect management does not mean reduction of the insect population to zero; instead it means a reduction below the level of economic damage.
This guide was compiled by both current and former Extension entomologists, plant pathologists, weed scientists, and a pesticide education specialist.

Row crop enterprise budgets are updated annually by Extension personnel to reflect recommended management practices for production on a per acre basis. Projected costs are gathered from multiple industry sources and a higher than average projected yield are used to estimate the associated cost for that level of production. Producers should review these budgets and use the values that best reflect the cost on their operation. Budgeting is an important part of profitable peanut production. The irrigated peanut budget is available as both as an Excel spreadsheet and a PDF file.
