Other guides for scouting More information. The 68-page guide serves as a field supplement to more comprehensive references like Common Tree Fruit Pests by A.J. Howitt, and Diseases of Tree Fruits in the East by A. Jones and T. Sutton. Since researchers continue to update thresholds and monitoring information, the editors will be printing updates on sheets that can be attached to blank pages at the end of the guide. The guide was compiled and edited by David Epstein, Michigan Apple IPM Implementation Project; and Larry J. Gut, MSU Entomology. It was produced as a part of the Michigan Apple Integrated Pest Management Implementation Project. Support was provided by: Center for Agricultural Partnerships, The Pew Charitable Trusts, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency\ Office of Pesticide Programs, Gerber Products, Michigan Apple Committee, Michigan Apple Research Committee, Michigan IPM Alliance, and Michigan State University. |
