Strategies to Successfully Manage Northeastern Apple Pests
Courtesy of Sustainable Agriculture Research & Education (SARE)
A wide range of pests threaten Northeastern apple crops, forcing some growers to spend up to 25 percent of production costs to manage mites, insects, disease and other pests.
Practical strategies to help growers lower this huge cost while protecting their region’s $580 million annual apple crop are outlined in Ecological Management of Key Arthropod Pests in Northeast Apple Orchards, a new publication from the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) program.
Ecological Management of Key Arthropod Pests in Northeast Apple Orchards highlights SARE-funded research that demonstrated viable ecological management strategies for plum curculio, apple maggot, codling moth and other key apple pests. Successful strategies included mating disruption and selective pesticide applications that greatly enhanced the effectiveness of beneficial organisms.
