2024/2025 Mid-Atlantic Commercial Vegetable Production Recommendations | This guide lists vegetable varieties that are available and are adapted to the mid-Atlantic region, gives an overview of cultural practices, and list chemicals recommended to manage pests, diseases and weeds in vegetable crops. New varieties of vegetables are constantly being developed throughout the world. While all efforts are made to have comprehensive lists, not all varieties that are adapted will be listed. |

2021 Southeastern U.S. Vegetable Growers Crop Handbook | New varieties and strains of particular varieties of vegetables are
constantly being developed throughout the world. Since it is impossible
to list and describe all of them, only some of the better
performing commercial types are listed in the specific crop section,
either alphabetically or in order of relative maturity from early to
late. These varieties are believed to be suitable for commercial production
under most conditions. |

Diagnosing Stink Bug Injury to Vegetables | In the mid-Atlantic U.S. vegetable crops are attacked by several different
stink bug species (1). The primary pest species include: the invasive brown
marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys, which has become the dominant
species in most landscapes (2), brown stink bug, Euschistus servus Say, which
is the most common species attacking tomatoes; green stink bug, Chinavia
hilaris Say (3); and harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica, which is
primarilly a pest of brassica vegetables only (4). All stink bugs are
piercing sucking feeders that insert their stylets into the fruit, pods,
buds, leaves, and stems of plants. |

Benefits of an Insecticide Seed Treatment for Pumpkin Production in Virginia | In recent years cucurbit growers in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. could purchase their seeds pre-treated
with the neonicotinoid insecticide thiamethoxam. The insecticide seed treatment is currently
packaged as FarMore F1400, which also includes three proven and complementary fungicides
that provide the first line of defense against several key seed and seedling diseases including
Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Pythium, general damping-off and seedling blight. |

Control of Brown Marmorated Stink Bug with Insecticide-Treated Window Screens | In Virginia and other Mid-Atlantic states, the invasive
brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) has become a
serious nuisance pest (Rice et al. 2014). Each fall, these
insects aggregate on buildings seeking shelters in which
to spend the winter months. |

Evaluation of the Residual Efficacy of Commercial Slug Baits | Slugs are prevalent pests in no-till and reduced-till crop systems in Virginia. These slimy mollusks utilize plant residue to hide during the day, and at night, they feed on numerous crops causing irregular feeding holes and shredded leaves. Slugs cause the most damage during early plant growth. |

Improving Pest Management and Pollination with Farmscaping | Farmscaping is a holistic ecologically-based approach to pest management that emphasizes the arrangement or configuration of plants that promote biological pest management by attracting and sustaining beneficial organisms. Ideal farmscape plantings provide habitat for beneficial insects, suppress weeds, and grow in close proximity to the cash crop without competing for light, water and nutrients. Research has shown that maintaining high levels of species diversity is a key characteristic of a proper functioning agroecosystem. Unfortunately, intensive farming operations including growing large monocultures, regular cultivation, and excessive use of insecticides often leads to a dramatic reduction in arthropod diversity, especially natural enemies that often keep many pest insects below damaging levels. Farmscaping is a technique designed to add diversity back to the system and minimize disturbance leading to increases in natural enemy populations by providing insectary plants as food and shelter resources. |

Soldier Beetles (Leatherwings) | This publication reviews the biology of cantharid beetles. Cantharids, known as soldier beetles or leatherwings, are commonly-encountered beetles throughout Virginia. Two species in the genus Chauliognathus are the most frequently observed; the margined leatherwing (Chauliognathus marginatus) is found during the spring and early summer, while the Pennsylvania leatherwing or goldenrod soldier beetle (Chauliognathus pensylvanicus) is active during the late summer and early fall. Both species visit a variety of wild and cultivated flowers, and they can be considered beneficial insects. |

Striped Cucumber Beetle | In Virginia, cucurbits are attacked by two native species of cucumber beetles, the striped cucumber beetle, A. vittatum, which is featured in this document, and the spotted cucumber beetle, Diabrotica decimpunctata howardi (Mannerheim), which is discussed in a separate fact sheet. |

Diamondback Moth Mating Disruption | Diamondback moth has become one of the hardest lepidopteran "worm" pests to control globally due to insecticide resistance. Mating disruption is an effective pesticide-free strategy for managing this pest of cabbage, broccoli, collards, and other brassica crops. |
