Grant ID Number: FNE08-637
Grant Recipient: Nancy Hanson, Hampshire College Farm Center, Amherst MA
A previous SARE-funded study of perimeter trap cropping for control of cucumber beetle in winter squash has led to this project, where internal trap crop rows will be tried to see if they act as additional sinks for this beetle. Randomized, replicated blocks will be scouted for beetles and compared with perimeter plants only and with controls, and results will be disseminated during the 2008 NOFA conference as well as through grower publications.
