Organic and Low-Spray Apple Production (Summary)
Organic and Low-Spray Apple Production (Summary)
This
publication surveys information appropriate to organic and low-spray
apple production, drawing on recent research and producer experience.
Many aspects of apple production will be the same whether the
grower uses low-spray, organic or conventional management. Accordingly,
this publication focuses on the aspects that differ from conventional
practice—primarily pest and disease control. The major insect
pests and diseases are covered, and the most effective low-spray
and organic control methods are introduced. Also included are
three profiles of working orchards, and a section dealing with
economic considerations. There are four appendices: a list of
resources for information and supplies, a chart of disease-resistant
apple varieties, an article explaining the use of degree days
in codling moth management, and a profile of a successful low-spray
program.
