1.The application of fungicides for blossom blight and brown rot
are basedon disease models, including weather and disease pressure
(cherries aremost susceptible to infection from bloom to pit
hardening and 3 weekspreharvest to harvest).
2. Different fungicide chemistries are used for blossom blight
sprays andfor fruit rot to reduce resistance.
3. For cherry leafspot, weather conditons are monitored and
severity ofleaf infection is determined by Table 11 in Cornell
Guidelines.
4. For other diseases (bacterial canker, powdery mildew,
Phytophthora,etc.) cultural control tactics are employed to reduce
severity (water
management, pruning timing, brush removal, etc.) and sprays are
appliedonly when appropriate.

Arthropod monitoring methods and thresholds should conform to
stateIPM program guidelines. Records should be kept of all
monitoringinformation collected and threshold used.
1. Plum curculio sprays begin after shuck split and end 340 DD
base 50after petal fall on apples.
2. Yellow sticky cards baited with ammonium acetate are used to
monitorfor cherry fruit flies. Sprays are applied after the first
fly is caught. After anappropriate interval, traps are cleaned and
a second spray is applied onlyif additional flies are caught.
3. Terminals are sampled for black cherry aphid and sprays
applied only ifneeded.4. Identification and monitoring of other
troublesome pests (Americanplum borer, Lesser peachtree borer,
obliquebanded leafroller etc.) areconducted using extension
recommendations and appropriate controls areapplied.
5. Sampling dates and thresholds used are recorded.
