The Rutgers Vegetable IPM Program has released an update on pests and pathogens of horticultural crops, focusing on peppers, tomatoes, and cucurbit downy mildew. They have pepper weevil trap kits available for commercial growers in specific counties. Two-spotted spider mites are being found in tomato high tunnels and should be treated immediately to prevent a large population. Cucurbit downy mildew has been detected on cucumbers in Atlantic County, and all cucumber and cantaloupe plantings should be protected. A sentinel plot is established to monitor the presence of the disease in the region.

These kits include lures, sticky cards, and mounting equipment. Growers will deploy and check their own traps. TomatoesTwo-spotted spider mites (TSSM) are being found in a few tomato-high tunnels at this time. This is fairly common in the dry conditions inside the tunnels. Initial, low-level infestations result in a mite "stipple" on the upper leaf surface (see photo at right). In these cases, several mites may be found on the lower leaf surface. With hot, dry conditions and no control applied, mites multiply rapidly. A large population will create webbing that can cover entire plant leaves and branches (see photo below).
