Tree Fruit
The 2010-2011 edition of the Pennsylvania Tree Fruit Production Guide has been updated and revised to make it as accurate as possible for current recommendations and pesticide registrations. Chemical management tables are grouped together to make them more accessible. The harvest and postharvest section has been updated and expanded.
The modern approach to managing pests is referred to as integrated pest management (IPM). IPM involves compiling detailed, timely information about a crop and its pests to ensure that pest management decisions are economically, environmentally, and socially sound. In addition, IPM advocates integrating as many suitable pest management tactics as possible.
