New hop pest management resources available

Erin Lizotte<taylo548@msu.edu>, Michigan State University Extension -

New pest management resources have been added to the MSU Extension Hops website.

As hop season gets underway in Michigan, new pest management resources are available to assist growers in 2016. The Hop Pest Management page on Michigan State University Extension’s Hops website has been expanded to include informational tip sheets on the prevalent pests of hop in Michigan. The pest informational tip sheets include insect and disease descriptions, life cycles and management considerations for downy mildew on hop, hop aphid on hop, rose chafer on hop, Japanese beetle on hop, twospotted spider mite on hop and potato leaf hopper on hop.

The Hop Pest Management page also contains the current “Pesticides Registered for Use on Hops in Michigan” guide, a seasonal pest occurrence calendar to help with scouting, a pest management webinar and the third edition of the “Hop Field Guide.”
