Accomplishments
The SERA-IEG 7 group will provide updates as to successes and accomplishments that were completed by individuals participating in this group and enhanced through the coordinated efforts of this SERA. A major accomplishment has been the multi-state, regional approach to minimize the impact of tomato spotted wilt virus in all three production regions. Through initial work conducted in Texas that was passed along to scientists in Georgia, a comprehensive risk index that has given growers a number of peanut production options that significantly reduce yield loss from this virus. In turn, these findings allowed scientists in North Carolina and Virginia to aggressively pursue a similar research program and greatly accelerate the timetable to develop a similar and effective risk index. Figure 1 demonstrates the level of virus through time in Georgia peanuts, the implementation of various management strategies, and the dramatic reduction in virus associated with this program. A similar graph could be developed for North Carolina for just the past three years.
Impacts
- The recent loss of the peanut program in the new Farm Bill has created a significant financial hardship on peanut farmers nationwide. In addition, the increase in the incidence of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) has added an additional yield-limiting factor into the production equation. The prophylactic use of rootworm insecticides also remains an input that has questionable benefit.
- A major research effort focused on the impact of using various management strategies to minimize the incidence of TSWV. Research focused on the impact of planting date, insecticide use, cultivar selection, tillage, seeding rate, row spacing, and their interactions with incidence of southern corn rootworm injury. A publication focusing on the TSWV advisory has been published and was widely used by growers.
- This research and extension effort has produced a rootworm advisory that provides sound decision-making principles for southern corn rootworm insecticide use. The TSWV index has been validated and initially presented to growers. Its full implementation took place in 2003, and our research indicates that by selecting the appropriate complement of cultural practices in 2003 growers may have reduced the incidence of TSWV in peanuts by over 50%.
