This collection reviews advances in understanding key diseases and insect pests of tree fruit. Chapters summarise current research on what causes key fungal diseases (apple scab, powdery mildew, apple replant diseases, apple canker and brown rot), bacterial and viral diseases (fire blight, brown spot, apple mosaic virus and plum pox). The book discusses integrated fruit disease management techniques such as surveillance, breeding disease-resistant varieties, improved fungicide application as well as the use of biocontrol agents. Other chapters review the ecology of major insect pests (aphids, tortricid moths, mites, mirids, fruit flies and apple maggot flies). Chapters also assess ways of improving integrated pest management (IPM) techniques for tree fruit, from monitoring and forecasting to agronomic practices and methods of biological control.
