This collection features four peer-reviewed reviews on managing
arthropod pests in tree fruit. The first chapter provides a brief
overview of the major aphid pests affecting tree fruit production,
focussing on those causing economic damage in citrus, apple, pear
and stone fruit production. The chapter considers the techniques
available for their control and looks ahead to future research in
this area. The second chapter addresses the complex issue of
managing and controlling arthropod pests in tree fruit production
in the face of increasing pesticide regulatory restrictions, as
well as public concerns about food safety and environmental impact.
The chapter considers the need for a more basic understanding of
pest biology and development which can then be used in predictive
models to support the effective use of more selective and
sustainable crop protection methods. The third chapter introduces
key arthropod pests of apples and highlights the importance of
integrated pest management (IPM) programmes in controlling
infestations. The chapter reviews the tools and tactics available
as part of a sustainable IPM programme, as well as current and
future challenges facing IPM. The final chapter outlines key
cultural tactics for managing arthropod pests in temperate tree
fruit, including the modification of trees, tree architecture,
orchard floor management, cultivation practices, mowing and the
cultivation of orchard cover crops.
