Southeast Michigan vegetable update<\/h2>\n

Cucumber\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0melon\u00a0<\/strong>growers should note that downy mildew spores have been picked up in spore traps on the west side of the state. None have been picked up by the traps on the eastside of the state, which are in the Saginaw, Michigan, area. Typically, we find our first downy mildew infected plants in Michigan around the Fourth of July.<\/p>\n

Pumpkins<\/strong> have up to five leaves. Pumpkin, squash and zucchini growers should note that Enviroweather models suggest squash vine borer adults will start to emerge and lay eggs across our area in the next week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Southwest Michigan vegetable update<\/h2>\n

Striped cucumber beetles continue to be active in\u00a0vine crops<\/strong>. Continue monitoring and control as needed. Harvest from low-tunnel grown\u00a0cucumbers<\/strong>,\u00a0yellow squash<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0zucchini<\/strong>\u00a0will begin later this week. We have detected downy mildew spores in our trap at the Southwest Michigan Research and Extension Center but have not observed any field symptoms. Protective sprays may not be warranted at this time, but scout and apply protection at the first sign of infection. Current hot, dry weather conditions are not conducive for spread, as the disease prefers cool, cloudy, wet weather.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

West central Michigan vegetable update<\/h2>\n

Cucurbit\u00a0downy mildew<\/strong> spores were detected at the Muskegon and Berrien County spore traps. The disease has not been detected in field plantings. Pickle, cucumber<\/strong> and melon<\/strong> growers should prepare to initiate fungicide programs earlier than last year.\u00a0Check out Mary Hausbeck\u2019s website to track spore counts and get spray recommendations for 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n

Continue to be on the lookout for striped cucumber beetle, which seems to be a more persistent pest this year.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
