Summary / Résumé JAMAR Laurent (2011) −−− Innovative strategies for the control of apple scab ( Venturia inaequalis [Cke.] Wint.) in organic apple production (Thèse de doctorat). University of Liege −−− Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, Belgium. 188 pages, 21 tables, 34 figures. The aim of this thesis, conducted over six growing seasons (2003 −2008), is to define new measures for reducing the use of fungicides and in particular, copper fungicides, for the control of apple scab ( V. inaequalis ) in organic apple production. Special emphasis is put on primary scab infection control during spring season. An original approach is proposed for defining a specific spray timing involving spraying during the infection processes, especially before fungal penetration, determined by the RIMpro software warning system. This ‘during-infection’ spray strategy allows reducing from 30 to 50% the amount of fungicide usually used for effective apple scab control, on high scab-susceptible cultivars. The field study shows that six alternative products (e.g., potassium bicarbonate and lime sulphur), among 60 products tested, have the potential to reduce copper use. However, copper use, even with low doses, seems to be still necessary in presence of scab-susceptible cultivars. The results obtained in these experiments could not be attributed to the specific technical performances of the tunnel sprayer used, which however, offer valuable environmental benefits. On the basis of the present study, the organic management system seems a good farming approach for maintaining soil quality with regard to biological indicators. This work shows and draws attention to the fact that (i) planting cultivars with polygenic scab- resistance traits, (ii) increasing emphasis on sanitation practices aimed at reducing initial inoculum in autumn, and (iii) applying an accurate spray strategy in spring, as defined in the present study, are the three most promising approaches for substantial further reductions in protection products fully compliant with international organic crop production standards. JAMAR Laurent (2011) −−− Stratégies innovantes de protection vis-à-vis de la tavelure du pommier (Venturia inaequalis [Cke.] Wint.) en production biologique. (Thèse de doctorat). Université de Liège −−− Gembloux Agro-Bio Tech, Belgique. 188 pages, 21 tableaux, 34 figures. L’objectif de cette thèse, conduite durant six saisons de croissance (2003-2008), est de définir des nouvelles mesures de réduction d’usage de fongicides, en particulier du cuivre, pour se protéger de la tavelure du pommier ( V. inaequalis ) en production biologique. L’accent est mis sur la protection des arbres lors des infections primaires au printemps. Une approche originale est proposée pour définir les moments d’application des traitements, spécifiquement durant les processus d’infection, avant pénétration du champignon, déterminés à l’aide du logiciel d’avertissement RIMpro. Cette stratégie dite «durant- infection », permet de réduire de 30 à 50% la quantité de fongicide habituellement utilisée pour assurer une protection efficace, sur variétés sensibles. L’étude en verger montre que six produits alternatifs (par ex., bicarbonate de potassium et bouillie sulfocalcique), parmi 60 produits expérimentés, ont le potentiel de réduire l’usage du cuivre. Cependant, le cuivre, même à faibles doses, semble être encore nécessaire en présence de variétés sensibles à la tavelure. Les résultats obtenus dans ces expérimentations ne peuvent pas être attribués aux performances techniques du pulvérisateur tunnel utilisé, qui cependant, offre de précieux avantages sur le plan environnemental. Sur base de cette étude, le système de production biologique semble une bonne approche pour maintenir la qualité du sol du point de vue de ses indicateurs biologiques. Ce travail montre et porte l’attention sur le fait que (i) planter des variétés à composante polygénique de résistance, dites tolérantes à la tavelure (ii) accroitre l’accent sur les pratiques sanitaires visant à réduire l’inoculum initial, et (iii) appliquer une stratégie de traitement adéquate au printemps, telle que celle décrite dans cette étude, sont les trois approches les plus prometteuses pour réduire l’usage futur de fongicides à un niveau plus cohérent avec le règlement international de production biologique. Acknowledgments Over 8 years, while working on the apple scab disease, I have learned a lot in the field of science and I owe this learning to many people. This work could not have been achieved without the help and support of a great number of people to whom I would like to express my gratitude. First, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Dr Marc Lateur, Life Sciences Unit, Walloon Agricultural Research Centre (CRA-W), co-promoter of this thesis, whose expertise, precision and patience added considerably to my scientific experience.

    ADAMS PEARMAIN Herefordshire, England 1862 Oct 15 Nov Mar 14 Adams Pearmain is a an old-fashioned late dessert apple, one of the most popular varieties in Victorian England. It has an attractive 'pearmain' shape. This is a fairly dry apple - which is perhaps not regarded as a desirable attribute today. In spite of this it is actually a very enjoyable apple, with a rich aromatic flavour which in apple terms is usually described as Although it had 'shelf appeal' for the Victorian housewife, its autumnal colouring is probably too subdued to compete with the bright young things of the modern supermarket shelves. Perhaps this is part of its appeal; it recalls a bygone era where subtlety of flavour was appreciated - a lovely apple to savour in front of an open fire on a cold winter's day. Tree hardy. Does will in all soils, even clay. AERLIE RED FLESH (Hidden Rose, Mountain Rose) California 1930’s 19 20 20 Cook Oct 20 15 An amazing red fleshed apple, discovered in Aerlie, Oregon, which may be the best of all red fleshed varieties and indeed would be an outstandingly delicious apple no matter what color the flesh is. A choice seedling, Aerlie Red Flesh has a beautiful yellow skin with pale whitish dots, but it is inside that it excels. Deep rose red flesh, juicy, crisp, hard, sugary and richly flavored, ripening late (October) and keeping throughout the winter. The late Conrad Gemmer, an astute observer of apples with 500 varieties in his collection, rated Hidden Rose an outstanding variety of top quality.

  • ELIZABETH LOCKARD SKILLEN Diversity of Parasitic Hymenoptera
    ELIZABETH LOCKARD SKILLEN Diversity of Parasitic Hymenoptera (Ichneumonidae: Campopleginae and Ichneumoninae) in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Eastern North American Forests (Under the direction of JOHN PICKERING) I examined species richness and composition of Campopleginae and Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) parasitoids in cut and uncut forests and before and after fire in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee (GSMNP). I also compared alpha and beta diversity along a latitudinal gradient in Eastern North America with sites in Ontario, Maryland, Georgia, and Florida. Between 1997- 2000, I ran insect Malaise traps at 6 sites in two habitats in GSMNP. Sites include 2 old-growth mesic coves (Porters Creek and Ramsay Cascades), 2 second-growth mesic coves (Meigs Post Prong and Fish Camp Prong) and 2 xeric ridges (Lynn Hollow East and West) in GSMNP. I identified 307 species (9,716 individuals): 165 campoplegine species (3,273 individuals) and a minimum of 142 ichneumonine species (6,443 individuals) from 6 sites in GSMNP. The results show the importance of habitat differences when examining ichneumonid species richness at landscape scales. I report higher richness for both subfamilies combined in the xeric ridge sites (Lynn Hollow West (114) and Lynn Hollow East (112)) than previously reported peaks at mid-latitudes, in Maryland (103), and lower than Maryland for the two cove sites (Porters Creek, 90 and Ramsay Cascades, 88). These subfamilies appear to have largely recovered 70+ years after clear-cutting, yet Campopleginae may be more susceptible to logging disturbance. Campopleginae had higher species richness in old-growth coves and a 66% overlap in species composition between previously cut and uncut coves.

Fungal entomopathogens provide an attractive alternative to synthetic insecticides for weevil control because they pose a lesser risk to human health and the environment. This review summarises the available data on the performance of these entomopathogens when used against weevils in horticultural crops. We integrate these data with information on weevil biology, grouping species based on how their developmental stages utilise habitats in or on their hostplants, or in the soil.
