Reduced-risk pest management programs for eastern U.S. peach orchards: effects on arthropod predators, parasitoids, and select pests.
We developed new integrated pest management programs for eastern U.S. peaches with minimal use of organophosphates. From 2002-2005, we assessed the ecological impacts of these reduced-risk programs versus grower standard conventional programs that still relied primarily on the use of organophosphorous and carbamate insecticides. Using a split-plot design replicated at four commercial Pennsylvan...
متن کاملAre Flowering Plants Taboo in Peach Orchards?
It is generally recommended that broadleaf plants in and around peach orchards must be controlled to minimize damage from stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and plant bugs (Lygus spp.). In research orchards located in West Virginia, USA, I have been growing peach trees as a monoculture or interplanted with apple, with and without the presence of broadleaf flowering plants. The flowering plants were used...
متن کاملEffects of orchard host plants (apple and peach) on development of oriental fruit moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).
Studies were designed to examine the effects of host plants (apple, Malus domestica Borkh., and peach, Prunus persica L.) on the development of oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). Oriental fruit moth larvae developed faster on peach than on apple, both on fruit as well as on growing terminal shoots. On fruit, these differences were shown to cause signific...
متن کاملReduced-risk Pest Management Programs for Eastern Tree Fruits
A 4-year research project was initiated during the 2002 growing season to evaluate, on a regional scale, pest management systems based on reduced-risk tactics that previous research and experience had indicated would be effective, sustainable, economically viable, and lead to enhanced biological control. The participating states are: Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,...
متن کاملBIOLOGICAL CONTROL Seasonal and Diurnal Dynamics of Beneficial Insect Populations in Apple Orchards Under Different Management Intensity
Limb jarring sampleswere taken in fourexperimental appleorchards (onecompletely unmanaged; one with horticultural management and no pest management; one with horticultural management, no pest management, and interplanted with peach and sour cherry; and one under conventional commercial management practices) at hourly intervals over a 24-h period at four times in 1991. A total of 1,176 individua...
