9 Our Process: The Four Steps of IR-4.

10 Ornamental Horticulture Program: The Four Steps of IR-4 Step 1: Identify grower needs Step 2: Establish research priorities Step 3: Establish research program Step 4: Communicate research results

11 Ornamental Horticulture Program: Step 1: Identify Grower Needs Grower & Extension Survey Project Requests

12 Ornamental Horticulture Program: Step 2: Establish Research Priorities Biennial Workshop October 6-8, 2009 in Cleveland, OH Plant Growth Regulator Society Meeting

13 Ornamental Horticulture Program: Step 2: Establish Research Priorities Discuss major pathogen, pest, weed, pgr issues Decide High Priority Projects A = not registered B = registered but not commercialized C = registered and commercialized

14 Ornamental Horticulture Program: Step 2: Establish Research Priorities Midcycle Review of Priorities NCSU Ornamental Workshop NEWSS Plant Growth Regulator Society Meeting

15 Ornamental Horticulture Program: Step 2: Establish Research Priorities 2009 High Priority Projects Continue Downy Mildew Continue Bacteria Continue Borers Continue Armored Scale Explore Snails Explore Root Mealybugs Herbicide Crop Safety Early Post Emergence 2010 High Priority Projects Continue Bacteria Pythium Efficacy Continue Scale & Mealybug Continue Thrips Crop Safety Beneficials Mite Efficacy Herbicide Crop Safety Early Post Emergence Liverwort Efficacy

16 Ornamental Horticulture Program: Step 3: Establish Research Program Coordinated approach based on High Priority Projects Additional focus on invasive species Phytophthora ramorum Chili thrips Bemisia Q biotype Japanese beetle Gladiolus rust

24 Our Success: 219 permanent pesticide tolerances with potential for 952 new use registrations. 6 registrations impacting 614 ornamental horticulture crops. 7 crops added to biopesticide labels and 1 Section 18.

25 Highlights of Program Activities

26 High Priority Project: Thrips Thrips Efficacy became a high priority project in Chili thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis) was added in Chili Thrips Thrips simplex on Gladiolus Western Flower Thrips L. Osborne, UFL T. Davis, MSU Weeping Laurel Thrips

27 IR-4 Research Program for Thrips ( ) IR-4 sponsored 328 trials in 29 experiments from 2005 through 2009 looking at 56 different products on 4 different thrips species IR-4 definition: trial is unique combination of crop, pest, product, production site Caveat: not all products were tested on all thrips Researchers Luis Canas Yan Chen Raymond Cloyd Whitney Cranshaw Terry Davis Dan Gilrein Meng-Meng Gu David Held Scott Ludwig Ron Oetting Mike Parrella Mike Reding John Sanderson Doug Walsh

28 Western Flower and Chili Thrips Summary Best Products for Chili Thrips Aria (flonicamid) Avid (abamectin) Conserve (spinosad) Flagship (thiamethoxam) Marathon (imidacloprid) Orthene (acephate) Overture (pyridalyl) Pylon (chlorfenapyr) Safari (dinotefuron) TriStar (acetamiprid) Chili Thrips L. Osborne, UFL Western Flower Thrips Best Products for WFT Kontos (spirotetramat) Overture (pyridalyl) Pylon (chlorfenapyr) Tolfenpyrad

29 Gladiolus Thrips (Thrips simplex) All but 2 of the 24 products tested as bulb dip applications worked well. Orthene TTO (acephate) 24(c) registration in MI for bulb dip application T. Davis, MSU

30 Thrips Product Registrations in 2008 Overture (pyridalyl) was registered with EPA in April Conserve (spinosad) was amended to include Chili thrips in August Kontos (spirotetramat) was registered with EPA in August Tolfenpyrad received reduced risk status for ornamental horticulture uses

31 High Priority Project: Phytophthora Phytophthora Efficacy was established as a high priority project starting with the 2003 IR-4 Workshop Limited testing the first year Phytophthora diseases remain a major concern, but as of 2008 IR-4 had tested the available new active ingredients for this set of pathogens P. ramorum

32 IR-4 Research Program for Phytophthora ( ) IR-4 sponsored 799 trials in 68 experiments from 2004 through 2009 looking at 54 different products on 10 different species IR-4 definition: trial is unique combination of crop, pathogen, product, production site Researchers Chris Becker Mike Benson Victoria Brooks * Gary Chastagner Janice Elmhirst * Kent Evans Don Ferrin Ann Gould Nik Grunwald Mary Hausbeck Alan Henn Heidi Kratsch Bob Linderman Dave Norman Aaron Palmateer AnnaMarie Pennucci M.S. Reddy Rich Regan Jim Strandberg Doug Walsh * Cooperative Research with Canada

33 Phytophthora species Phytophthora cactorum Phytophthora cinnamomi Phytophthora citricola Phytophthora cryptogea Phytophthora dreschleri Phytophthora nicotianae/parasitica Phytophthora palmivora Phytophthora ramorum Phytophthora syringae Phytophthora tropicalis

35 Phytophthora Conclusions Every Phytophthora and crop combination are different Not every product will work equally as well for all Phytophthora species If you have difficulties managing Phytophthora, Get help Get it identified Rotate to different products

36 Phytophthora Product Registrations Adorn (fluopicolide) Fenstop (fenamidone) Insignia (pyraclostrobin) Pageant (boscalid + pyraclostrobin) Segway (cyzofamid) Stature SC (dimethomorph)

37 High Priority Project: Herbicide Crop Safety Herbicide Crop Safety has been an ongoing high priority projects, but each year the targeted products change

38 IR-4 Research Program for Herbicide Crop Safety ( ) IR-4 sponsored 3823 trials with 43 researchers from 2003 to 2009 looking at 58 different products on 387 different crops John Ahrens James Altland Ed Beste Rick Boydston Rakesh Chandra Yan Chen Mark Czarnota Jeff Derr Kristie Fenn Ben Fraelich Ray Frank Tom Freiberger Charles Gilliam Nik Grunwald Steve Hart John Harvey Frank Kaspari Jim Klett Gary Knox Paul Kuhns Lehnert Heiner Lieth Researchers Bob Linderman Mike Marshall Hannah Mathers Todd Mervosh Mike Mickelbart Joe Neal Jeff Norcini Mike Reding Rich Regan David Roys Andy Senesac Al Simmons Richard Smith Bob Stamps Brian Trader Tim Treat Buzz Uber Paul Wade Ted Whitwell Cheryl Wilen Dave Williams
