The Department of Agriculture (ARS) has the need for the following products: 001) Sparganothis and Cranberry Fruit Worm Pheromone Blend Scope of Work: The UDSA-ARS Vegitable Crop Research Unit (VCRU) in Madison, WI is seeking sources for Sparganothis and Cranberry Fruit Worm Pheromone Blends. Background: The USDA-ARS uses this pheromone blend to disrupt mating behaviors of the cranberry pests Sparganothis Fruitworm and Cranberry Fruitworm. The cranberry pests Sparganothis Fruitworm and Cranberry Fruitworm are detrimental to the overall crop yields of cranberries in Wisconsin; in order to successfully reduce the populations of these pests without jeopardizing the integrity of the fruit or the local ecosystem, we need a pheromone-based treatment that disrupts the mating of the adult moth to prevent damage before the eggs are even laid. Many insecticides that can treat and kill these pests are incompatible with organic practices or leave lasting residue on the fruits or environments. These pheromone blends are alternatives to the traditional insecticides that are compatible with organic practices and have been shown to be effective in the past.
