                                    Citation: Van Zoeren, J., Steffan, S.A. 2016. A synthesis of recent research regarding the spring flood in Wisconsin: Knowns and unknowns. Wisconsin Cranberry School. Paper No. 11.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: Approximately half of Wisconsin’s cranberry growers replace a spring insecticide application with a 1- to 2-day spring flood. Despite the potential for this flood to be a highly cost-effective alternative to chemical insect controls, growers need to know whether the flood can reduce pest pressure without causing damage to the cranberry plant. Over the past five years, research in the Steffan Lab has addressed these concerns, specifically looking at: 1, the efficacy of flooding at suppressing key cranberry pests, 2, the effects of flood waters on the cranberry plant’s physiology, and 3, the mechanism through which flooding reduces pest moth populations.
