Chilling Requirements

Cranberries of Cv. Beaver have been observed to flower in September and October at Vancouver, British Columbia. The flowering uprights all showed umbrella bloom while the flowering runners bore terminal racemes. This behavior is contrary to reported photoperiodic and chilling requirements of cranberries. Mixed buds of the cranberry overwinter in a far more advanced state at Vancouver than has been previously reported.

Twig Blight

Abstract A description is provided for Lophodermium oxycocci. Information is included on the disease, cranberry twig blight, caused by the organism, that can cause serious economic damage to commercial cranberry crops in Oregon and Washington. Some information on cultural and chemical control is given, along with details of its transmission, geographical distribution (Canada (British Columbia), USA (Alaska, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon and Washington), Russia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, UK, Poland, Sweden and Ukraine) and hosts (Vaccinium macrocarpon, Vaccinium sp. and V. oxycoccus).

Dasineura Oxycoccana

AbstractTwo parasitoids, identified as a species each of Aprostocetus Westwood (near Aprostocetusmarylandensis (Girault)) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and Platygaster Latreille (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), were discovered in cranberry shoots (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton (Ericaceae)) infested with cranberry tipworm, Dasineura oxycoccana (Johnson), on a farm in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, Canada. Parasitoids emerged from ∼18% of collected shoots in 2009, when Aprostocetus sp. was more numerous, and in 2010, when Platygaster sp. predominated. In 2009, Aprostocetus sp. was the only parasitoid species present in May and June, and predominated until late August, when Playtgaster sp. became prevalent. In 2010, Platygaster sp. was more numerous throughout June and July; numbers of Aprostocetus sp. increased in late July and early August. The parasitoids were naturally present despite applications of the insecticide diazinon.

Lepidoptera Noctuidae

In 1997, larvae of the cutworm moth, Ochropleura implecta Lafontaine, caused economic damage to cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon Aiton; Ericaceae) on several neighbouring farms in Richmond (49° 10′N, 123°07′W), British Columbia, Canada. This is the first report of O. implecta on cranberries. Published host records for O. implecta include willow and a variety of herbaceous plants, such as clover and endive (Crumb 1956; Lafontaine 1998), but there are no reports of pest status on any crop. On the affected cranberry farms, larvae partially consumed unripe and ripe berries in July and August. On one farm, damaged fruit was downgraded from fresh fruit sales to the juice market, resulting in an estimated loss of $40 000 Can.

Abstract A new distribution map is provided for Blueberry scorch virus. Flexiviridae: Carlavirus. Hosts: highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) and cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon). Information is given on the geographical distribution in Europe (mainland Italy) and North America (Canada (British Columbia, Quebec), USA (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington)). It is vectored in the non-persistent manner by aphids including Fimbriaphis fimbriata (Hemiptera: Aphididae).
