PPFS-FR-T-9: Peach Fruit Diseases

Nicole Gauthier | Mar. 9, 2020 (Major Revision)

Peach fruit diseases can cause significant losses in yield and quality in commercial and home orchards. Often these diseases go unnoticed until late in the season or at harvest. Although there are no curative treatments for infected fruit, many diseases can be prevented using cultural practices and (optional) fungicides. Accurate diagnosis, however, is critical to determine the best management practices and to prevent future losses.

PPFS-FR-S-27: Cultural Calendar for Commercial Grape Production

Daniel Becker, Ric Bessin, Nicole Gauthier, Kimberly Leonberger, Matthew Springer, John Strang, Patsy Wilson, Shawn Wright | Mar. 9, 2020 (Major Revision)

Inegrated pest management (IPM) includes the combination of biological, cultural, physical, and chemical tools in efforts to manage diseases and pests while minimizing risks associated with pesticides. Cultural practices are an integral part of an IPM program and should be incorporated into all commercial systems whether large or small, conventional or organic.
