IPM BACKGROUND
Modern and effective
approach based on


METHODS OF IPM
Cultural
 Physical
 Genetic
 Biological
 Chemical
 Regulation

ADVANTAGE VS. DISADVANTAGE

Advantage
Potential to increase
profit
 Reduce risk of
harming environment
and farm workers
 Reduce the amount of
pesticide used
 Delays disease
resistance


Disadvantage
Requires higher
degree of management
 More labor intensive
 Can be dependent on
the weather

3 COMMON APPLE DISEASE
Apple Scab
 Cedar Apple Rust
 Powdery Mildew

cracking and
premature dropping

IPM FOR APPLE SCAB
Remove fallen leaves

 Spray fungicide when the bud emerges



Then apply at regular intervals if needed
Plant disease resistant trees


Gymnosporangium
juniper-virginianae
 Spends part of life on
Eastern red cedar and
apple
 Symptoms

Orange spots on
leaves and fruits
 Disfigure fruit and
cause premature leaf
and fruit drop


russet
POWDERY MILDEW IPM
Start early in growing
season
 Begin at tight cluster



Continue until no new
shoots are produced
Plant scab-resistant
varieties that are
resistant to PM
