Organic Pest Management:
|
Scab Resistant cultivars (SRC)-- important consideration in organic apple production. The Final Report of a multi-year, regional project focused on the evaluation of SRC would provide valuable insights into whether they are appropriate for your situation. Also, Dr. David Rosenberger's Update on Scab-Resistant Cultivars and Advanced Selections for Consideration in New Plantings should be a 'must read' if you are considering a new orchard. |
|
FYI - - Organic Programs from Michigan State University Extension and from The Ohio State University Apple Disease Program (Source Link: MSU and WVU website). Please note that our pest complex and environmental conditions are somewhat different in Vermont but these programs offer information and insights on the challenges of arthropod and disease management. |
