The present studies were conducted to better understand the
etiology, epidemiology and potential control of the Phytophthora
stem root rot as it occurs in apple stool beds.
Symptoms of Phytophthora root and stem rot occurred as early
as May and continued to develop throughout the growing season.
Sunken brown-black lesions...
Pesticides—including insecticides, acaricides, fungicides, and bactericides are essential for maintaining healthy crops with reliable yields and quality. In many instances, pesticides have become less effective as target organisms have developed resistance. The first record of resistance dates to 1897, when orchardists began having problems controlling San Jose scale (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus...

Dispersal and colonization of young potted apple
trees by the spider-mite predators Metaseiulus
occidentalis Nesbitt and Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten
were studied in the Hood River Valley of Oregon.
Experimental mini-orchards of 10 four-year old potted
apple trees were established at distances of 0, 10, and
100 m downwind from commercial...
Competitive exclusion has been the mechanism hypothesized to account for the biological control of fire blight disease of pear and apple by the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens A506 (A506). Recent laboratory assays demonstrated, however, that A506 produces an antibiotic that is toxic to the fire blight pathogen, Erwinia amylovora, when cultured...
The primary purpose of this pest management guide is to provide fruit growers with up-to-date information on registered pesticide uses considered to be effective for controlling insect pests, mite pests, and diseases, when applied at the listed rates and timings.
