Primarily night feeders, the common earwig (Forficula auricularia) is considered to be an insect pest when it feeds on soft plant shoots, such as corn silks, and eats small holes in foliage and flowers. Sometimes ripened fruits are infested, but damage is usually tolerable. It can be particularly damaging to seedlings. Earwigs also play a beneficial role in the garden, acting as scavengers on decaying organic matter and predators of insect larvae, snails, aphids and other slow moving bugs. They are often carried great distances in produce shipments and other freight.[图片]These slender red-brown insects (3/4 inch long) with elongated, flattened bodies are distinguished by a pair of sharp pincers at the tail end, which they use for capturing prey and mating. A few species have wings, although it is not a strong flier, and usually crawls in search of food. Earwigs get their name from an old superstition that they crawl into the ears of a sleeping person and bore into the brain. While menacing in appearance, they are harmless to man.[图片]Note: Earwigs will occasionally enter the home. However, their presence is accidental and they will not establish themselves or reproduce indoors. Life Cycle Adults overwinter in the soil. Females lay 20-50 cream-colored eggs in underground nests during January and February, and the newly hatched young (nymphs) first appear in April. Nymphs are protected in the nest and do not leave until after the first molt, when they must fend for themselves. Young earwigs develop gradually, passing through 4-5 nymphal instars before becoming adults. They are similar in appearance to adults, but lack wings and the large sized pincers. Most species in this country have one generation per year.[图片]Earwig Control If earwigs become pestiferous there are several effective organic methods that can be used for getting rid of them. Remove garden debris and excessive mulch where earwigs are living and breeding. Since earwigs seldom fly, a sticky band of Tanglefoot Pest Barrier around the trunks of trees, shrubs, and woody plants will prevent them from reaching the leaves and fruits on which they feed. Broadcast Insect Killer Granules around foundations, lawns and landscapes to eliminate or repel all kinds of troublesome pests. Apply food-grade Diatomaceous Earth for long-lasting protection. Made up of tiny fossilized aquatic organisms, that look like broken glass under the microscope, DE kills by scoring an insect’s outer layer as it crawls over the fine powder. Contains NO toxic poisons![图片]Scatter Monterey Ant Control, a safe and organic bait containing iron phosphate and spinosad, evenly over the soil around or near areas to be protected. Least-toxic botanical insecticides should be used as a last resort. Derived from plants which have insecticidal properties, these natural pesticides have fewer harmful side effects than synthetic chemicals and break down more quickly in the environment.

ヒョウタンの基本情報 学名：Lagenaria siceraria var. gourda 科名 / 属名：ウリ科 / ユウガオ属 特徴 ヒョウタンは、干瓢（かんぴょう）にするユウガオの変種です。日本には縄文時代に伝わり、古くから人々の生活に関わってきました。果実は苦みがあるので食用にはせず、乾燥させて容器や装飾品などに加工します。ヒョウタンというと、くびれた形を想像しがちですが、球形や首長の形、ヘビのように細長くなる形などいろいろあります。 [图片]種類（原種、園芸品種） つる首ヒョウタン 首の長い形。地面に這わせて育てると、首がぐにゃっと曲がっておもしろい。 [图片]千成ヒョウタン Lagenaria siceraria var. microcarpa 小型のヒョウタンを指す。 [图片]大長ヒョウタン 果実が2mを超える大きなヒョウタン。 ジャンボヒョウタン 果実の径が1mを超えるほどの大きなヒョウタン。 [图片]育て方のポイント 栽培環境・日当たり・置き場 日当たりと風通しのよい場所に棚をつくり、つるを誘引して育てます。生育がおう盛なので、地植えが望ましいですが、できない場合は土がたっぷり入る大型のプランターなどに植えつけます。連作障害を起こしやすいので、前年にウリ科植物を植えた土には植えないようにします。 水やり 土が乾き始めたらたっぷりと水やりします。葉が大きいので水分の蒸散が激しく、葉が茂ってきたら毎日の水やりが必要になります。ただし、過湿には注意してください。 肥料 植えつけ2週間後と親づるが棚上に達したころ、さらに着果したら、速効性の化成肥料を週1回、追肥します。なお、庭植えの場合、根はどんどん広がって伸びていくので、1回目の追肥は株元から30cm、2回目は50cmほど離れたところに施すとよいでしょう。 病気と害虫 病気：うどんこ病、つる割病、つる枯病 梅雨明け後にうどんこ病が発生しやすいので注意しましょう。また、つる割病やつる枯病が発生することもあります。 害虫：ウリハムシ オレンジ色の体長1cmくらいの成虫が葉と果実をかじったり、幼虫（体長1cmくらいの白いうじ虫）が果実や根を食害します。 用土（鉢植え） 大型プランターなどに植える場合は、赤玉土5、腐葉土5の配合土を用います。庭植えの場合は、植えつけ場所に1㎡当たり堆肥2kg、苦土石灰150g、化成肥料150gをまいて、よくすき込んでおきます。 [图片]植えつけ、 植え替え 4月上旬に暖かい場所でタネをまくか、あるいはポット苗を購入します。植えつけ適期は5月上・中旬で、本葉が4～6枚展開したころが目安ですが、年によってはまだ肌寒いこともあるので、株元にマルチングをしたり、ビニールキャップをかぶせたりして保温するとよいでしょう。 ふやし方 茶色くなった果実を収穫し、黒くつやのあるタネを採取して乾燥貯蔵し、来年用に供します。ただし、発芽率が低かったり、親と同じ形質のものが得られなかったりすることが多いです。 主な作業 摘心と誘引：果実は、親づるよりも子づる、孫づるによくつくため、放任ではあまり実りません。そこで、親づる（主茎）が棚の頂上に届くまではわき芽をかき取り、頂上に届いたら先端を摘心して、子づる（わき芽）の発生を促します。さらに、子づるが6節くらい伸びたら、先端を摘心して、孫づる（わき芽）を伸ばします。棚上では均一になるようにつるを誘引し、ひもで支柱に留めていきます。 人工受粉：夕方から早朝に白い花を咲かせます。雄花と雌花が別々に咲くので、受粉を確実にするために、雄花の葯（やく）をちぎり、雌花の柱頭に黄色くなるくらい花粉をつけます。

ヒューケラの育て方・栽培方法 育て方のポイント 栽培環境・日当たり・置き場 耐寒性が強く耐暑性もあり、乾燥にもかなり耐えられますが、品種によっては夏の直射日光で葉焼けするものもあるので、落葉樹の下など、夏は日陰になるところが適しています。斑入り葉や淡色系のものは特に注意が必要です。また、土壌の水はけも大切で、株元が多湿であったり夏に肥料分が残るようだと、根腐れや茎腐れで株が傷み、枯れることもあります。耐陰性があるので、建物や塀の際で日陰になるところの植え込みにも向いています。 [图片]水やり 用土が乾いたらたっぷりと水を与えます。小苗を植えつけて根が張るまでは乾かさないよう注意します。また、タネをまいて育苗している間も乾かさないよう、常に湿っている状態にしておきます。ただし、大株になればかなりの乾燥に耐えられます。 肥料 3月から4月と10月から11月に粒状の化成肥料を株の周囲にまいておきます。または月に3回ほど液体肥料を施します。夏の高温期には肥料分が残らないようにします。 病気と害虫 病気：特にありません。 [图片]害虫：アブラムシ、カイガラムシ、ネマトーダ、ナメクジ、ダンゴムシ 風通しや水はけが悪いとカイガラムシやネマトーダが発生することがあり、また、日陰で湿り気のあるところでは、ナメクジや不快害虫のダンゴムシに注意します。 用土（鉢植え） 庭植えでは、水はけをよくするために、腐葉土などをよく混ぜておきます。鉢植えは、赤玉土4、鹿沼土3、腐葉土3の配合用土などがよいでしょう。 植えつけ、 植え替え 鉢植えは1～2年ごとに植え替えます。庭植えでは、込み具合や生育の様子を見て3～5年ごとに、株分けや植え直しをします。 [图片]ふやし方 主に春か秋の株分けでふやしますが、茎の立ち上がったものや、わき芽の多いものではさし芽もできます。品種にもよりますが、一般的なツボサンゴや‘パレス・パープル’はタネからもふやせます。タネが細かいので、ピートバンやタネまき専用の細粒用土などにまいて育てます。 主な作業 花がらや枯れ葉は早めに取り除いておくとすっきりと見栄えがよくなります。茎が立ち上がって老化してきた株は、バークチップや腐葉土を株元に敷いて茎が隠れるようにすると、新しい根が伸びて株が若返ります。

Infection by dollar spot (Sclerotinia homeocarp) appears as tan or straw-colored spots ranging in size from a quarter to that of a silver dollar sunken in the turf. Occasionally, small cottony strings of the fungus can be seen growing from the diseased leaf blades.[图片]Dollar spot occurs throughout the growing period, and is most active during moist, warm days and cool nights. As the disease progresses, individual spots may join to destroy large patches of lawn. It occurs widely on golf greens, but may also be a severe problem on lawns growing under dry soil conditions. Turf damage is usually more severe if there is a deficiency of nitrogen. Disease fungi are spread from one area to another by water, wind, mowers, other equipment or shoes.[图片]Treatment The following organic fungicides are recommended: Bonide® Liquid Copper is a natural formulation used to protect everything from turf to vegetables, to flowers and fruits. Mix 1.5 to 6 oz with 2.5 gallons of water and apply to 1,000 sq. ft. For best results, start 2 weeks before problems normally occur. Repeat at 7 to 10 day intervals for as long as needed. Physan 20 works on a variety of disease outbreaks affecting lawns, turf and grass. Add 1 Tbsp per gallon of water and spray over problem areas, repeat as needed. One pint treats 6,400 square feet.[图片]Practices that promote a healthy lawn will help to reduce the occurrence of this fungal disease. For example: Cut grass at the recommended maximum height. Try not to remove more than 1/3 of the leaf surface in any one mowing, and if possible, wash the mower between cuttings with a 10% bleach solution. Remove excess thatch and aerate compacted soils. Improve drainage by top-dressing with organic matter such as organic compost or well-aged animal manure. Keep lawns well watered, but avoid irrigating in the late afternoon or evening — do NOT over water.[图片]Apply a slow-release organic fertilizer high in nitrogen; applying liquid seaweed and chelated iron is also helpful. Do NOT over fertilize, since this can result in an increase of other turf grass diseases such as brown patch. Over seed in the fall with resistant turf cultivars.

Many species of cutworms from the night-flying moth family Noctuidae are found in home gardens across the United States. The larvae commonly feed on plant stems at or below ground, eventually cutting them down. Cutworms attack a wide variety of plants including beets, cabbage, broccoli, kale and cauliflower.[图片]Cutworm caterpillars (larvae) are stout, soft-bodied, gray or dull brown caterpillars (1-2 inch long) that curl up when at rest or disturbed. They feed at night and burrow into the soil during the day. Adults are dark gray or brown, night-flying moths (1-1/2 inch wingspan) with ragged blotches or stripes on their wings. They do not damage plants. Note: Pest populations vary greatly from year to year. When numerous, cutworms can destroy up to 75% of a crop. Life Cycle Most species pass the winter in soil or under garden waste as young larvae. In the spring, as temperatures warm, they become active and begin feeding on plants at night remaining hidden during the day. The larvae molt several times and when fully grown pupate in the soil (late spring). Within one week moths emerge and begin laying hundreds of eggs mostly on stems and leaves. One to five generations per year, depending upon the species.[图片]Note: Overwintering larvae and the first generation in the spring are the most damaging. A few species pass the winter as pupae or hibernating moths. Damage Damage occurs at night when caterpillars feed by clipping off seedling stems and young plants near or just below the soil surface. Often, an entire row of newly planted garden vegetables will be cut off during the night. Different cutworm species will climb plants doing damage to foliage, buds and shoots. Cutworms are also known to gouge potato tubers. Late season cutworms will tunnel in fruit. Cut worms, like their close cousins armyworms, will also frequently attack turf grass. The damage they inflict on grass — cutting off blades at the crown — is usually more dispersed than damage from army worms. Cutworms favor golf courses where they cause “ballmark” pockets of dead and missing turf both on fairways and putting greens.[图片]Cutworm Control Losing precious transplants once to cutworms is all most people require to implement preventive measures as part of an Integrated Pest Management plan. There’s little more heart-breaking than coming out to the garden one morning to find the seedlings you started months ago indoors have been severed at the root. Tempted to spray chemicals after losing young plants to the slow-moving eating machines? Despite the fact that it will endanger your pets, your children and the environment, pesticide use against cutworm, reports Michigan State University Extension, is “often unsuccessful.”[图片]Preventive Measures Before planting a new garden remove weeds and plant debris that might feed and shelter developing larvae. Turn the soil after fall clean up then give birds and other predators a chance to pick off the expose larvae and pupae. Mow as closely as possible to the edge of your garden to give cutworms less to feed on and less shelter near your plants. A three-foot wide (or more) bare-soil strip between your lawn and your garden plants makes it harder for larvae to reach your plants. It also gives you more of a chance to spot them. Wait as late as possible before setting out starts. Cutworms go on the move early in the growing season. Give them a chance to starve before you put out dinner. Place cardboard collars (or milk containers with the bottom cut out) around transplant stems at planting time. Be sure to work the collar into the soil at least an inch or two. Plant sunflowers along the edge of your garden. Sunflowers are a favorite target of cutworms. The plants will attract the larvae giving you a chance to pick them from the ground before they head to your corn.[图片]Dealing with Infestations The presence of many birds feeding in the yard may indicate cutworms in your turf. Handpick caterpillars after dark. This is often most productive following a rain or thorough watering. Slow the progress of worms, who don’t like navigating dry soil, by watering in the morning then cultivating your garden’s walkways lightly to a depth of an inch or so. This cultivated soil will dry quickly while trapping moisture beneath it. Do not use mulch which gives the worms shelter. Beneficial nematodes released in moist, spring soil will attack and destroy cutworms living underground. They’re especially beneficial to apply the season after cutworms have been a problem.[图片]At the first sign of moths, release trichogramma wasps weekly for three consecutive weeks to parasitize cutworm eggs. Spreading a line of diatomaceous earth around the base of plants sets up a barrier to larvae. Diatomaceous earth, the fossilized, abrasive remains of prehistoric sea life, literally lets you draw a line in the dirt that’s deadly to any larvae that pass over. Scatter bran or corn meal mixed with Monterey Bt (Bt-kurstaki) and molasses on the soil surface to attract and kill caterpillars. Eco-Bran will also kill caterpillars that feed on it.

Cucumber beetles are found across the United States from Canada to Mexico and are either striped (Acalymma vittatum) or spotted (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi). Both species feed primarily on the leaves, flowers and fruits of cucurbits (cucumbers, squash, pumpkins and melons). Alternate plant hosts include beans, corn, peanuts and potatoes.[图片]Adult cucumber beetles (1/4 inch long) are yellowish-green in color with dark heads, legs and antennae. They have distinct black spots or lengthwise stripes on their wings. During the growing season, they are found feeding on seedlings, foliage, pollen and flowers causing greatly reduced yields and sometimes plant loss. The slender white larvae (up to 1/3 inch long), have brown ends and injure plants by feeding on roots and underground stems. Heavy larvae populations can reduce plant vigor and damage melon rinds making the produce unfit for consumption or market. Note: Adult and larval stages of the cucumber beetle transmit several plant diseases, including bacterial wilt and mosaic virus in cucurbits.[图片]Life Cycle Adult beetles overwinter in plant debris and garden trash. Females leave their winter sites in early spring and deposit up to 800 orange-yellow eggs in the soil near the base of plants. In about 10 days hatching occurs and the larvae feed for three or more weeks before pupating. First generation adults emerge 10 days later. A complete life cycle requires 6-9 weeks. Up to four generations can be produced in a single growing season. Control Select resistant varieties whenever possible. Inspect plants frequently for beetles and handpick any that are discovered.[图片]Floating row covers are extremely effective when placed on seedlings and left in place until plants are old enough to tolerate beetle damage. Commercially available beneficial insects, such as ladybugs, green lacewing and the spined soldier bug, will feed on pest eggs. Beneficial nematodes work well to curtail immature stages developing in the soil. When applied to plants, Surround WP (kaolin clay) leaves a fine powdery film that insects find unattractive for feeding and egg-laying. Spinosad, the active ingredient in Monterey Garden Insect Spray is approved for organic use and works on a long list of insects found on vegetable crops.[图片]If pest levels become intolerable, spot treat with a fast-acting organic insecticide. For best results, apply to the undersides of leaves and deep into the plant canopy where insects hide. Remove garden trash and other debris shortly after harvest to reduce overwintering sites.

Common in vegetable gardens throughout North America, the corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) is one of the most destructive insect pests attacking corn. It’s also known to bore into other fruiting vegetables and feed on lettuce. One worm can do extensive damage, and often a single larvae is all that’s found on a fouled ear. The corn earworm is also a serious pest of cotton where it is known as the cotton bollworm. On tomatoes it is known as the tomato fruitworm.[图片]Full grown larvae (1-1/2 inch long) are lightly striped and vary in color from a light green or pink to brown. They darken as they grow older. Adults are night-flying, dull greenish gray or brown moths (1-1/2 inch wingspan) with irregular darker lines and spots near the outer margins of the fore and hind wings. During the day they hide in nearby vegetation, but may occasionally be seen feeding on nectar. Note: Adult moths are good flyers, and able to move long distances. Each year they migrate from warm southern areas back to northern states where they are subject to winterkill.[图片]Life Cycle In areas where this insect survives the winter, pupae hibernate in the soil. Adult moths emerge anywhere from February through June, depending upon temperatures, and deposit their eggs singly on corn silks and other plant parts. Each female can lay up to 3,000 eggs, which hatch in two to ten days. When larvae emerge, they burrow directly down through the silks into the ear tip, becoming fully grown in 3-4 weeks. Corn earworm are extremely cannibalistic, which tends to limit the number of larvae to one per ear. When full grown, they drop to the ground to enter the soil for pupation. Usually two generations develop in the north, with as many as six in the extreme south.[图片]Damage Damage usually begins in the corn’s silk, where the moth deposits its eggs. The caterpillars follow the silk down to the ear, eating as they go. Extensive damage is often found at the ear’s tips, where the worms devour kernels and foul them with excrement. The larvae often destroy the silks before pollination is complete. The resulting ears are deformed and susceptible to mold and disease. Worm damage is often confined to the tip of corn ears and can easily be cut away. Worms frequently follow leaves down the ear, leaving excrement and settling into kernels well in from the tip. It doesn’t take much of this kind of damage to make the entire ear undesirable. Each year, copious amounts of pesticides are sprayed on commercial corn fields in attempts to kill larvae. Runoff from these sprayings contribute to watershed and water table contamination while the spray itself decimates beneficial insects. Genetically engineered corn, each kernel producing its own pesticide, was developed with corn earworms in mind.[图片]Corn Earworm Control An Integrated Pest Management plan that deals with the earworm at all three stages is the best way for corn growers to combat them. As moths, corn earworms are great travelers. Continued vigilance is needed. Just because you had them well-managed the previous season doesn’t mean they won’t glide back in on the first warm breeze come springtime. Seasonal maintenance: Don’t mulch ahead of winter without first getting as many pupae as you might have out of the soil. Till your soil fall and spring to expose the pupae to wind, weather, birds and other predators.[图片]Got chickens? Turn them loose after harvest to pick the grubs from your soil. Watching them work can be very entertaining! If you suspect your former corn patch might harbor corn earworm pupae, try broadcasting beneficial nematodes into moist soil well ahead of first frost. Word of mouth suggests this is a helpful component of any earworm IPM program. Spring moth arrival: Use pheromone traps to determine the main flight period for moths. Moths mostly fly under cover of night and go unspotted. At first sign of moths, release trichogramma wasps to destroy eggs. Growing season: Inspect silk for larvae, eggs regularly. Employ beneficial insects, such as green lacewings, minute pirate bugs and damsel bugs. All will feed on corn earworm eggs and small larvae. Spray or inject silks weekly with Beneficial Nematodes to control larvae.[图片]If corn earworms persist, apply Safer Garden Dust (Bacillus thuringiensis) or Monterey Garden Insect Spray (Spinosad) to silks at 5-10% formation and continue weekly until tassels turn brown. Both products are listed in the Organic Materials Review Institute’s products certified for use in the USDA’s National Organic Program. Tip: When using mineral or vegetable oils to suffocate feeding larvae at the ear’s tips, include a botanical insecticide in the oil as an added punch.

Now common throughout the United States, the imported cabbage worm (Pieris rapae) does great damage to brassica and other cabbage-family crops in fields and gardens where it gains a foothold. Although the larvae of this garden pest moves sluggishly, it is extremely destructive, especially later in the growing season when populations can build significantly.[图片]The imported cabbageworm (1-1/4 inch long) is velvety green in color and has many short fine hairs and faint yellow strips down its side and back. It’s five sets of pro-legs are easily visible. Adults are white or pale yellow butterflies (1-2 inch wingspan) with three or four black spots on their wings. They are frequently noticed fluttering about the garden from early spring to late fall. Life Cycle Adult females emerge in early spring after over wintering as green pupae. They lay up to 200 tiny yellow eggs on host plants, usually on the undersides of leaves. These hatch in 7 or more days (depending on temperature) into young larvae caterpillars. The larvae feed heavily for 15 or more days, then pupate on lower leaf surfaces or nearby garden objects. During late spring and summer, the worm pupates for 10 days before a new generation of butterflies emerges. There are 3 to 5 overlapping generations each year, as many as 8 in warmer areas.[图片]Damage In the larval stage, cabbage worms will feed on the surface layer of leaves, leaving behind a a translucent, tissue-like scars. As they grow, they chew large, irregular holes usually beginning on the outside leaves of cabbage and other cole and mustard crops (broccoli, cauliflower, kale, turnip, radish). As the worm feeds, it commonly bores into the center of cabbage heads contaminating them with its fecal pellets. The dark-green pellets can also be found in the crook of leaves near the stem.[图片]Cabbageworm Control The imported cabbage worm is one of many worms that attack garden plants. Luckily, control tactics aimed at a particular worm, be they loopers, army worms, cut worms or diamond back moths, are usually effective against all. Early Season This insect has many natural enemies, including predatory beetles, spiders, yellow jackets, green lacewing and parasitic wasps. Birds also favor cabbage worms. Make sure your garden welcomes these creatures. And don’t use chemical sprays that might harm or destroy these natural predators. Protect plants with floating row covers to prevent adults from laying eggs.[图片]Use pheromone traps to determine the main flight period for moths. Release trichogramma wasps to destroy eggs. Predator wasps of various sorts, most indigenous to your garden, will seek-out the eggs of all types of worms. Help protect them by using something other than indiscriminate chemical pesticides. Herbalists report that moths are discouraged from laying eggs on cabbage sprayed with tansy oil or a strongly brewed tansy tea (because of the volatile oils it contains, tansy teas can be dangerous to humans, especially when consumed in quantity, and should be avoided; instead use it in your garden). Planting tansy near your cabbage crops can also discourage them. In an example of the two-way street nature of companion planting, tansy planted near cabbage does surprisingly well.[图片]As soon as damage is noticed (large irregular holes in leaves, fecal pellets on plants and ground), begin handpicking caterpillars and destroying them. Late Season Chickens can be thorough pickers of cabbage worms. Ducks, too. Of course, they might also eat things you don’t want them to, especially early in the season when plants are still small. Wait until your plants are peck-able size and you’re sure you have a pest problem before unleashing the clucks and the quacks. Botanical insecticides — derived from plants which have insecticidal properties — have fewer harmful side effects and break down more quickly in the environment than synthetic chemicals. However, they are still toxic and should only be used after other least-toxic options have been tried. Once worms are apparent, apply Garden Dust (Bt-kurstaki) to leaves where they’re seen. This naturally occurring soil bacteria, listed for organic use by the Organic Materials Review Institute, will take out the worms as they feed.[图片]Spinosad, the active ingredient in Monterey Garden Insect Spray is made from fermentation. It doesn’t persist in the environment — crops are ready for harvest a day after application, and is a good substitute for Bt-kurstaki dusts. Fall Prevention To prevent overwintering pupae from emerging as adults in early spring, till under all garden debris to which they might attach. In places with milder winters, it may be necessary to remove the debris all together. Pay special attention to plants of the mustard family. They’re a favorite place for cabbage worm pupae to spend the winter. Worms will also retreat to garden margins and borders. Keep them clean and short to prevent overwintering there.
