Pest Management Programs for Deciduous Tree Fruits and Nuts
attempts to present the current status of pest management programs
in orchard ecosystems. The book is a collection of papers from a
symposium convened on the subject for the 1977 National Meeting of
the Entomological Society of America and invitational papers on
commodities not covered during the symposium. In recent years,
books have appeared on "integrated pest management (IPM)"; however,
most of these have concentrated on field crop IPM with an
occasional chapter on fruits. No publication presently exists which
brings together information on the pest management programs
currently being conducted on the major nut crops, almonds, pecans
and walnuts. Because it is the first treatment for almonds and
walnuts, the authors of these chapters have attempted not only to
present the current IPM technology but the historical data which
led to the contemporary programs. Two chapters appear on pecan IPM.
The first concentrates on the development of a management program
for the pecan weevil, the key arthropod pest of pecans, while the
second discusses the implementation of pilot pecan IPM programs in
two southeastern states. The latter chapter illustrates that even
with a limited data bank, the pesticide load in pecan orchards can
be reduced by the adoption of the IPM approach to pest control.
