Abstract:
Apple is considered an important fruit crop which belongs to the family Rosaceae. Apples are very prone to many different types of biotic and abiotic factors such as insect-pests, diseases and unfavourable weather conditions which may cause damage to apple orchards. The most common pests that cause significant damage to apple include mites, apple scab (Venturia inaequalis), Powdery mildew fungus (Podosphaera leucotricha), Fire blight of Apple (Erwinia amylovora), Root rots (Phytophthora spp.), Codling moth (Cydia pomonella), Scale insect (Quadraspidiotus perniciosus), and certain grasses and weeds which compete with apple trees for nutrient and water (Walsh et al., 1996). IPM techniques are more common and best methods to control the pests, viz. Proper sanitation, mechanical destruction of insects, growing of other crops attracting the major pests of apple, utilization of natural enemies, etc.
