Dr. Miriam Silberstein presents a methodology for high-quality fruit production in Israel, focusing on color, taste, and minimizing injuries and chemicals. The concept of Integrated Pest Management (I.P.M) is discussed, including conventional control, I.P.M and I.C.M, and biological control. Understanding the life cycles of trees and pathogens is crucial in disease management, with a specific focus on powdery mildew. Varieties' sensitivity to the disease is also outlined.

I.P.M. in Fruit Trees in Israel Methodology & Principle Dr. Miriam Silberstein
High quality Fruit & Vegetable The target:
High Quality Fruit Color, taste, no injuries,no chemicals Friendly management Economic to the grower
Plant Control Management: • Conventional control. • I.P.M. & I.C.M. • Biological control I.C.M.
The concept of Integrated Pest Management : • 1. Knowledge about the pests. • 2. Knowledge about the crop. • 3. Knowledge about the chemicals. • 4. A “co’operative” grower.
Pathogen life cycle spore dissemination survival spore formation spore germination reproductive growth establishment lesion formation
Disease cycle of powdery mildew Cause : Podosphaera leucotricha
Varieties’ Sensitivity Very sensitive: Grand, Jonatan, Ana Moderate sensitive: Gala, Grani, Golden Low sensitive: Delishes, Orliance
