“…In Serbia, the highest losses were observed in the Vojvodina province in 1999 when damages on sour cherry caused by blossom and twig blight reached 100% (Balaž, 2000). Significant losses have also been recorded in other countries: in California for example losses have exceeded 30% during storage (Ogawa and English, 1991;Hong et al, 1997); nectarine yield was completely devastated in the early 1950s (Ogawa et al, 1995); losses in storage reaching 59% in certain years have been reported in Spain (Larena et al, 2005). It is believed that losses during storage and transport are much more serious than those occuring during the growing season (Ogawa and English, 1991).…”

SUMMARYDifferent species of the genus Monilinia are common plant pathogens that endanger pome and stone fruit production worldwide. In Serbia, two species of this genus are widely distributed -M. laxa and M. fructigena, while M. fructicola, which is officially on the A2 EPPO List of quarantine pest organisms in Europe and on the 1A part I List of quarantine pest organisms in Serbia, has so far been detected only on stored apple and nectarine fruits. The most important control measures against these pathogens include chemical control in combination with adequate cultural practices, particularly under favourable conditions for disease development. Concerning that species of this genus can cause significant economic losses, knowledge of the pathogen biology, disease epidemiology and pathogen-host interactions is a necessary prerequisite for stable and profitable production of pome and stone fruits.

“…The highest losses caused by this pathogen have been recorded in North America on peaches, sweet cherries and plums. It causes significant losses during fruit storage in California, frequently over 30% (Ogawa and English, 1991;Hong et al, 1997), or even up to 80-90% (Hong et al, 1997;Larena et al, 2005).…”

“…Honey fungus, is the major cause of pre and postharvest losses in peach crops (Prunus persica). The disease damages flowers and fruits, compromising the orchard, in addition to impacting storage, transport and commercialization (Larena et al 2005, Villarino et al 2012. Its chemical control is widely used by fruit growers.…”

Peach brown rot, caused by the Monilinia fructicola fungus, is the main disease affecting peach crops, and it is mainly controlled via frequent fungicide applications. This study aimed at searching for alternatives to the intensive use of chemicals, evaluating silicon doses to control pre and postharvest peach brown rot and their influence on maturation parameters and fruit quality. Treatments consisted of control (water) and sodium metasilicate doses (2 g L-1, 4 g L-1, 6 g L-1, 8 g L-1 and 10 g L-1 of water). The following assessments were made: spore germination and in vitro mycelial growth, brown rot incidence, soluble solids, titratable acidity, flesh firmness, total polyphenol content and fruit ethylene production and respiration rate. The 2 g L-1 dose reduced spore germination by 95 %. Doses of 6 g L-1 and 8 g L-1 satisfactorily reduced the disease incidence in the field, with 77 % and 89.2 % control, respectively. Sodium metasilicate resulted in the maintenance of great fruit firmness, reduced respiration and ethylene production and increased total polyphenol synthesis, but it did not influence the titratable acidity or soluble solids. Applying 6 g L-1 may potentially control pre and postharvest peach brown rot, besides increasing the total polyphenol synthesis and maintaining a higher flesh firmness.

“…The main period in which the chemical control of this disease is carried out in field, covers blossoming and pre-harvest, with fungicides like benzimidazol, dicarboximide, triazol, and estrobilurine group (LARENA et al, 2005;MOREIRA;MAY-DE MIO, 2006). Besides that, the most important pest in peach orchards are grapholita (Grapholita molesta) (POL-TRONIERI et al, 2008); and fruit-flies (Anastrepha spp.)…”

Produtividade, incidência de podridão-parda e danos por pragas em pêssego cultivado sob produção integrada

RESUMO -O sistema de produção integrada (IP) é uma tecnologia que permite aumentar a segurança alimentar, diminuir a aplicação de produtos químicos e o impacto ambiental. Este trabalho comparou dois pomares de pêssego da cultivar Chimarrita, um deles sob produção integrada e o outro sob manejo convencional (CP), situados na Lapa, Paraná, Brasil. O manejo do pomar CP foi o usualmente aplicado pelos produtores locais, e o manejo IP foi o recomendado pelas Normas Brasileiras de Produção Integrada de Pêssego. Durante três safras (2002, 2003 e 2004), produtividade, calibre dos frutos, incidência de podridão parda e danos (causados por Grapholita, Anastrepha, lagartas e outras causas) foram quantificados em ambos os sistemas. O número de aplicações de inseticidas e fungicidas no CP foi maior que no IP, tal qual ocorreu com a incidência de podridão-parda. Grapholita molesta, Anastrepha spp. e lagartas foram mantidas sob controle durante as três safras. A produtividade, bem como o tamanho dos frutos, foram maiores no IP, indicando as vantagens desse sistema de produção. Termos para indexação: fruta de caroço, manejo, Monilinia fructicola, Grapholita molesta, Anastrepha spp. PEACH PRODUCTIVITY, BROWN ROT INCIDENCE, AND PEST DAMAGE UNDER INTEGRATED PRODUCTION SYSTEMABSTRACT -The Integrated Production System (IP) is a technology that aims to increase food safety, diminish application of chemical products, and reduce the environmental impact. IP methods suitable for peach trees are scarce and recent in Brazil. The present research focused on comparing two 'Chimarrita' peach orchards, one managed under IP, and the other under conventional system management (CP) in Lapa, Parana, Brazil. CP orchard management was the usually applied by local grower's and IP orchard management was the recommended by the "Brazilian Norms for Integrated Peach Production". For three crops (2002, 2003, 2004), productivity, fruit caliper, brown rot incidence, and damages (caused by Grapholita molesta, Anastrepha spp., caterpillars, and others), were quantified in both managements. The pesticides and fungicides applications on CP were higher than on IP, and so did the brown rot incidence. G. molesta, Anastrepha spp., and caterpillars were kept under control during three crops in both systems. Productivity was higher and fruit size was larger under IP, indicating the advantage of such production system.
