Abstract:
Commercial production of diseaseresistant
(or scab-resistant) apple cultivars hold the potential of significantly
reducing early season fungicide use,
while producing high quality fruit,
Since growers apply ooth insecticides
and fungicides in tank mix cover
sprays, a further benefit could-be realized if certain cultivars were resistant
to those arthropod targets.
Conversely,
new apple cultivars may also present
obstacles if they are more susceptible
to some arthropod pests than are traditional cultivars.
This investigation focuses on pest incidence considerations
in scab resistant apples for integrated
pest management programs.
