Both rabbiteye and highbush blueberries are produced in Georgia. The plants can produce a commercially viable crop for years. The long-term nature of the investment in the blueberry orchard calls for periodic updates on the situation of the blueberry industry. Information about the location of plants, varieties, plant age, and the use of cultural practices are important in decisions to allocate resources. This report provides insights otherwise unavailable to the industry and an overview of the Georgia blueberry industry, which helps to shape the production and marketing strategies that extend beyond our state boundaries. Summaries included in this report help in accurate assessment of potential economic losses from damages to blueberry plants and the feasibility of programs protecting the value represented by orchards.

Prevalence of mastitis in unbred, breeding-age and pregnant dairy heifers is higher than formerly realized. Infected
mammary quarters, especially those with Staph. aureus IMI, exhibit reduced mammary gland secretory
potential, marked leukocyte infiltration and the accompanying inflammation. Both nonlactating and lactating
commercial antibiotic infusion products have been used successfully to cure existing infections and reduce SCC,
and nonlactating therapy prevents new IMI with environmental streptococci. However, the goal is to prevent
new infections from occurring in these young dairy animals through management strategies aimed at vaccination,
use of teat seals, fly control and dietary supplementation. As global milk quality standards
become more stringent, management practices based on curing existing infections and preventing new IMI
in heifers will ensure that these young dairy animals enter the milking herd free of mastitis and with low SCC.
Such practices should be considered for incorporation into dairy herd health programs in herds suffering from a
high prevalence of heifer mastitis, especially mastitis caused by Staph. aureus. Not only do these practices reduce
new infections in first-calf heifers at parturition, they also reduce the introduction of Staph. aureus to the milking
herd.|

Many pesticides require the addition of an adjuvant, and some do not. When applying fungicides, insecticides or herbicides without a recommended adjuvant, 30 percent to 50 percent reduction in pest control can be expected. Adjuvants may cause damage to a plant if the wrong adjuvant is used or if it is used at too high a concentration. Using the correct adjuvant on a greenhouse crop is a critical decision. This bulletin is intended to describe how adjuvants differ and what adjuvants are best to use.
