With only a handful of reliable tools, spray programs have to be finely tuned for SWD control while assuring compliance with international maximum residue levels (MRLs) 2013 MRL Study Objectives Evaluate pesticide residue decline after mistigation and airblast applications: Our purpose: 1) To aid growers by charting field residue decline spanning the blueberry harvest season 1. Malathion (Malathion 8) 1.25 pts 100 GPA; 1 Day PHI 2. Zeta-cypermethrin (Mustang Max) 4.0 fluid oz 100 GPA;1 Day PH 2) compare side-by-side pesticide residues in/on blueberries by two commercial application practices 3. Fenpropathrin (Danitol) 16 fluid oz in 100 GPA; 3Day PHI We also monitored season-long residues Phosmet (Imidan 70 W) 1.33 lbs 100 GPA
Scope of 2013 field-analytical research SWD Spray Program and Sampling Events Treatment Insecticide Application Interval Sampling Week 1 Malathion -1 through 14 DAT* Week 2 Mustang Max -1 through 14 DAT Week 3 Malathion -1 through 14 DAT Week 4 Mustang Max -1 through 14 DAT Last week Danitol** -1 through 24 DAT * DAT = Days after treatment ** Airblast application was solely evaluated for danitol decline Duplicate sampling was performed at mistigation and airblast treatment blocks for each interval sampling event (32 total intervals) Control samples were taken from an untreated block on each interval date A total of 148 multiresidue determinations were performed to construct residue decline with ridged quality control

Summary of 2013 Highbush Pesticide Residues At commercial application rates, Berry residue concentrations were consistently higher with airblast than mistigation Pesticide residues for the thre evaluated active ingredients can sometimes exceed MRLs for markets in certain Pacific Rim exporting countries Field decline at similar rates for these active ingredients behaves closely to other PNW small fruits The decline data also suggest Harvest a little later than the label specified PHIs for certain active ingredients Consider season-long residual pesticide field concentrations as part of the SWD spray management program Start and finish the spray season with a longer-lasting active ingredient
