“European corn borer (ECB) is a major pest insect of many different host crops in the United States, including the northeast. These include sweet and field corn, snap beans, peppers, potatoes, apples, hemp, small grains and ornamental plants.”

“Their feeding injures the fruits and seeds of various crops, including apples, peaches, apricots, grapes, tomatoes, eggplant, pepper, soybeans, and corn.”

“Hosts: Over 300, including vegetables (beans, asparagus, pepper, tomato, sweet corn, peas), tree fruits (apple, pear, cherry, peach), small fruits (raspberry, currants, grapes), ornamental shrubs (serviceberry, viburnum, rose, butterfly bush), ornamental trees (crabapple, maple, redbud), field crops (soybean, corn).”

“The melon aphid has a wide host range; vegetable crops attacked include cucurbits, asparagus, pepper, eggplant, and okra.”

“If crops susceptible to verticillium wilt were grown in the area in the past 3 to 5 years, avoid planting strawberries and brambles. Examples of crops susceptible to verticillium wilt include tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, eggplant, melons, okra, peas, beets, and roses.”

“Raspberries and blackberries should not be planted in soil where potatoes, tomatoes, pepper, eggplant, or strawberries have grown in the past two or three years.”

“Avoid land recently planted with tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers, strawberries, raspberries, or stone fruits; and land infested with horse nettle, ground cherry, red-root pigweed, and lambs-quarter.”

“The fungus eventually colonizes the entire cabbage head. Below: White mold on cabbage head with sclerotia. (M.T. McGrath) Other susceptible crops, most of which have been seen affected by white mold in New York, include other brassica crops, carrot, eggplant, lettuce, pepper (see below), potato, tomato, pea, pumpkin, and winter squash, plus hemp (see below) and soybean.”

“P. capsici cannot be managed by fungicide applications alone; successful disease control is achieved only by a season-long effort to manage water and other cultural practices. The single most effective way to control this disease is to prevent its movement into clean fields by equipment, humans, or infested water. Plant susceptible crops (tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, all cucurbit species, and beans) in well-drained fields with no history of this disease.”

“Most specialists recommend at least a four-year crop rotation before planting a cucurbit crop. In the meantime, avoid susceptible crops such as tomatoes, peppers and green beans.”
