  1. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Kari Showers Mycology M 6:30-9:15

  2. Overview • Why it’s important to me • Introduction • Steps of IPM • Tactics of IPM • Advantage vs. Disadvantage • Popular Apple Diseases

  3. Importance/ Why I chose this topic • Very important to farmers • Grew up on a farm • Worked at PSU FREC

  4. IPM Background • Modern and effective approach based on common sense programs • Focuses on long term prevention of pests • Series of management options

  5. 5 Steps of IPM • Scouting pest or problem • Identifying the pest or problem • Assessing the pest or problem • Choosing a management technique and implementing it • Evaluating the results

  6. Methods of IPM • Cultural • Physical • Genetic • Biological • Chemical • Regulation

  7. Advantage vs. Disadvantage • Advantage • Potential to increase profit • Reduce risk of harming environment and farm workers • Reduce the amount of pesticide used • Delays disease resistance • Disadvantage • Requires higher degree of management • More labor intensive • Can be dependent on the weather

  8. 3 Common Apple Disease • Apple Scab • Cedar Apple Rust • Powdery Mildew

  9. Apple Scab • Caused by Venturiainaequalis • Infects wild and cultivated apple trees • Symptoms: • Olive-green of brown spots that look scablike • Leaves become dwarfed • Fruit experience cracking and premature dropping

  10. IPM for Apple Scab • Remove fallen leaves • Pruning apple trees in winter months • Spray fungicide when the bud emerges • Then apply at regular intervals if needed • Plant disease resistant trees • Liberty and Gold rush

  11. Cedar Apple Rust • Caused by Gymnosporangium juniper-virginianae • Spends part of life on Eastern red cedar and apple • Symptoms • Orange spots on leaves and fruits • Disfigure fruit and cause premature leaf and fruit drop

  12. Cedar Apple Rust IPM • Apply fungicides at pink bud stage • Remove eastern cedar trees nearby • Plant scab resistant trees • Liberty

  13. Powdery Mildew • Caused by Podosphaeraleucotricha • Susceptible varities • Jonathan and Rome Beauty • Symptoms • Whitish gray powder • Leaves curl upward • Fruit have netlike russet

  14. Powdery Mildew IPM • Start early in growing season • Begin at tight cluster • Continue until no new shoots are produced • Plant scab-resistant varieties that are resistant to PM • Gold Rush

  15. Summary • IPM is very important in the agricultural world • Can potentially save time and money • The 5 steps involved with IPM are very important • Implementing different methods is very helpful • Knowing the IPM for different diseases allows you to plan ahead for years to come
