There have been some periods of extended leaf wetness over the last week at the Hart and Elbridge/Hart Enviroweather stations. Permethrin carries tarnished plant bug on its label, and carbaryl carries grasshoppers on its label (for other crops besides asparagus). Tarnished plant bug and grasshoppers may also be more active than normal in asparagus since surrounding vegetation is dry. Be on the lookout for tarnished plant bug where hay is mowed. Grasshoppers were also present along field edges.
One field I visited earlier this week had common asparagus beetle adults, eggs and small larvae.

Crop updatesĪsparagus growers may consider adding the standard permethrin plus carbaryl mix to their cover sprays. The 3-4-week outlook calls for warmer and drier than normal conditions for July 18-31. Wherever this storm track sets up, there could be rain. There could be a possibility of some rainfall depending on the location of a boundary between Canadian and U.S. As a result, the outlook calls for a very high chance of higher than normal temperatures for July 13-21. The medium range forecast reflects a stubborn ridge in the Jetstream with troughs to our west and east. This is roughly 0.2 inch per day, which is still high but lower than the previous week. Potential evapotranspiration rates are predicted to total 1.3-1.5 inches for the next week. Rainfall totals are predicted at 0.5-0.75 inch for most of the state for the next seven days. The front will likely stall out, bringing a continued chance of rain in the southern lower Saturday through Monday. If its arrival is delayed later into Friday morning, it will allow the air to warm and increase chances of rainfall. The time of day this front arrives will affect whether the western Lower Peninsula gets much rain. This will be the best chance for widespread rain in quite some time. The next weather system will arrive overnight Friday morning. However, it will likely warm again towards the middle of next week. Highs will be in the 80s Friday with lows in the 50s and 60s through early next week. Thursday, July 9, will be the last day with highs in the 90s.
