Integrated control of the most damaging pests of peach trees in Greece

In this study, the integrated management of Myzus persicae, Adoxophytes orana, Anarsia lineatella, Grapholita molesta, Panonychus ulmi and Tetranychus urticae was evaluated. The results showed that the population of Myzus persica on integrated systems was significantly lower than untreated control and higher than conventional systems. The population of P. ulmi and T. urticae was relatively low ( < 2 per leaf) in all treatments. Damage to fruit caused from A. orana and A. lineatella were significantly higher on untreated control than integrated or conventional systems. The results also showed that the damages caused from G. molesta were low in both conventional and integrated systems. In contrast, this insect caused significantly higher damage on untreated fruit.
