A simulation program for the timing of fungicides to control Sooty Blotch in organic apple growing. First results in 2003

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: A simulation program for infections by Sooty Blotch was developed based on \nliterature data and expert judgements. The value of the model as tool for timing \nfungicide sprays to control Sooty Blotch was tested in 2003 in two randomized plot \ntrials, and four “on farm” trials where the treatments where made by the growers. \nDisease pressure was relative low due to the warm and dry summer of 2003. Two to \nfive post infection treatments with lime sulfur or coconut soap aimed at severe \ninfection periods as indicated by the model provides 72 to 100 % control.
