Maine Cranberry Management Form

Have you just finished sanding, or maybe pruning? Perhaps weeding, scouting or spraying? It is our hope that reporting on actions such as these will help us further refine and develop our Cranberry Management Calendar, and it may also aid us in assessing how we are doing with our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) education outreach. In terms of pest outbreaks and such, your own discoveries/findings could help other growers by serving as an early warning of any potential threats that could be developing in any part of the state at any given time.

Your Name:

Grower ID (see directions below):  

Directions:

1. To help ensure that you are really who 'you' say that you are, please enter a Grower ID (required) of your own choosing, but use the same ID (number and/or letters) each year so that I will know it is information that is truly coming from you.  I will keep a list of everyone's ID should you happen to forget yours from one year to the next.
2. This form requires that you enter a name and a Grower ID in order for your information to be submitted successfully, but simply leave blank any other question or box that is not applicable to you or that you don't wish to answer.
3. Remember to click the 'Send' button at the bottom when you are finished.

Timing, in terms of when you took the above action during the year:
Choose one I performed this practice roughly during the time I consider to be the ideal/proper time of the year. I performed this practice considerably earlier than normal (I had little to no choice) I performed this practice considerably later than normal (I had little to no choice). I think this practice was performed earlier in the year than normal, but still at the time that I wanted and planned for. I think this practice was performed later in the year than normal, but still at the time that I wanted and planned for. I don't know if this was the normal time for this action or not. Other

Were you at or above the action threshold in the treated area(s)? Choose one Yes No Not sure what the actual threshold is for this pest

Your cranberry crop stage (for example: bud elongation, pre-bloom):

Is there a particular plant or insect around you that has (or had) just entered a noticeable stage at the time of your treatment? For example, "My lilacs just started to bloom this week." Such a plant or insect event could serve as an indicator for you and possibly others in subsequent years.
