Problem Code: Organic/PPWS
Requesting State(s): Gebiola,Marco (CA)
Potential Products:
PCR Reason for Need: Criniviruses and mosaic viruses are threatening the CA melon industry. Max allowable sprays of neonicotinoid insecticides are the only marginally effective controls. Priming plant defenses with chitin/chitosan-based inducers is a viable alternative.

Trials in field and GH; Treatments: Frass by Grubbets (black soldier fly frass) 2 g/kg & 4 g/kg (only in GH trial), Soil IPM Plus (chitosan, yucca plant extract & citric acid) 0.088 ml/kg, a tank mix of Regalia (Extract of Reynoutria sachalinensis) 0.25 ml/50 ml water + Actigard (acibenzolar s-methyl) 25 mg/L water (only in GH), Regalia 30 ml/gallon (only in field), Actigard 25 mg/L(only in field), untreated control

Application method: Frass by Grubbets and Soil IPM Plus were applied by hand mixed in soil whereas Actigard + Regalia was applied once by soil drench at transplant
