Priorities

Category	Rank	Pest Type	Pest	Crop Stage	Priority
Extension/Outreach	1	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Increase knowledge of growers so they may properly and most effective ly control cucumber beetles. This may be accomplished by reviewing current practices that are available.
Extension/Outreach	2	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Increase skills and understanding of pest identification, life cycles, monitoring and scouting. Hold training sessions for pest management of cucurbits and review these techniques.
Extension/Outreach	3	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Increase access and availability of information concerning integrated pest management (IPM) to growers and public. Development of production guides in hard bound format and make available in electronic format.
Extension/Outreach	4	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Increase access to information and release information concerning GMOs to the public and growers. Develop informational seminars held in county and regional meetings. Write newspaper articles concerning these issues.
Extension/Outreach	5	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	On-farm demonstrations which include methods, research and replication
Extension/Outreach	6	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Loss of Diazinon and Benomyl will increase dependency on other expensive products. Inform growers of available alternatives and proper methods of application.
Extension/Outreach	7	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Inform growers how to use available products to maintain economic stability.
Extension/Outreach	8	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Inform growers how to find markets for marketing fresh market products.
Regulatory	1	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Registrations for seed treatments with the insecticides imidacloprid (Admire) and thiomethoxam (Platinum). Since the meeting, imidacloprid was approved for application to direct seed. Thiomethoxam (Platinum) is only labeled for soil or trickle irrigation applications.
Regulatory	2	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Streamlined Section-18 Process
Regulatory	3	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	When new chemistries are developed and determined to be effective and environmentally sound, provisions should be made to quickly expedite registrations in manner that is beneficial for all concerned.
Regulatory	4	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Limited modes of action may increase the chance of resistance developing within the pest population. New pesticide chemistries are needed to replace the loss of diazinon (an organophosphate) and benomyl (a carbamate).
Research	1	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Cucumber beetle management
Research	2	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Plant breeding and control programs for yellow vine, aphids, powdery mildew, Phytophthora blight, downy mildew and improved control of bacterial wilt in pumpkin and cantaloupes.
Research	3	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Lack of weed control products – investigate herbicide products for efficacy and/or cultural control methods of broadleaf weeds
Research	4	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Develop improvements in spider mite management
Research	5	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Determine economic threshold for pests of cucurbits
Research	6	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Post harvest disease control (Fusarium spp., Phytophthora, Xanthamonas spp. and other diseases)
Research	7	All		6- to 12-Inch Shoot	Methyl bromide replacements and cost-effective alternatives
