Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling slightly increased foliar scab in one orchard.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling increased fruit scab at both locations on trees receiving no fungicides.
- Intervention effect Fungicides applied to one side of the trees overcame the evaporative-cooling increase in scab.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling lowered bitter rot incidence on non-sprayed apple trees in the year they were inoculated.
- Mechanism The lowering of bitter rot incidence by evaporative cooling is apparently due to washing off spores.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling increased bitter rot on fungicide-treated trees in the following year when inoculum levels were much higher.
- Intervention effect Under evaporative cooling, aphid colonies and damage from codling moth increased when populations were high, in only one season at one location for each pest.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling consistently maintained European red mite populations on apple after oil or miticide applications in June.
- Intervention effect Evaporative cooling usually maintained two-spotted spider mite populations below damaging levels on apple after oil or miticide applications in June.
- Intervention effect On trickle- and non-irrigated apple trees, pest mite populations resurged to high levels after oil or miticide applications in June.
