PHYTOSANITARY WARNINGS
04/04/2008

GRAPEVINE
  » Grapevine mildew (Technical Sheet) (See photographs)
  Although the high temperatures recorded during these days have contributed to increase plant growth, most grapevine plants growing in our province do not present enough development to be susceptible to fungus infection. Weather forecast predicts possibility of rain and a descent in temperatures for the following week; If both factors take place simultaneously they won't favour pathogen development. So far treatments against the disease should NOT be performed, but in case precipitations occur, disease surveillance should be intensified.
APPLE TREE
  » Oidium (See photographs)
  First cases of damaged shoots were observed in Golden variety apple trees. As only a few cases have been reported, its is not necessary to take any action against the disease so far but the evolution of symptoms should be monitored.
  » Apple scab (See photographs)
  First symptoms have not been observed yet, but they could appear, provided precipitations and mild temperatures are maintained (without descending significantly as weather forecast predicted).
PEAR TREE
  » Hoplocampa
  In the last year, pear trees were heavily damaged by this insect. Those trees, where the occurrence of the insect was reported in the last year and in which the consequent drop of recently set fruits was observed, are advised to be treated.
PEACH TREE
  » Leaf curl (See photographs)
  The first plant samples showing symptoms of the disease were received in the EFA's laboratory. If the precipitations announced by the weather forecast occur, it is advised to treat using recommended fungicides.
CAMELLIA
  » Aphids (Technical Sheet) (See photographs)
  First aphids of the species Toxoptera aurantii. appear when shoot development takes place. The occurrence and evolution of the insect populations should be monitored. Depending on the environmental conditions, if necessary, measures should be carried out to control the disease.
  » Eriophyids (Technical Sheet) (See photographs)
  This is the optimal date to perform the first acaricide application against the eriophyid mite Cosetacus camelliae (Technical Sheet), causing camellia flower drop. Since the authorization to use bromopropylate, the active ingredient currently used for the control of this pest, was withdrawn by the EU on 31 December 2007, other acaricides, such as fenazaquin and fenpyroximate, should be used (consult technicians).
