Control of Didymella applanata in raspberry orchards using new organic fungicides during vegetacion

Abstract

Raspberry cane decay disease are the major problem in its production by reducing yield and lifetime of orchards. This disease cause a several disease-causing agents, and the most important is Didymella applanata, causal agent of raspberry spur blight. With regard to the biology of the pathogen fungicide use postharvest is not efficient enough because pathogen can infect raspberry far earlier. Therefore, the aim of this study is testing the efficacy of newer organic fungicides applied before and after the harvest raspberries and mutual comparison thereof on biological efficacy. The results show that the tested fungicides exhibited very high efficacy against D. apllanata on the raspberry leavs and the canes (from 83.0-96.5%).

Energetic efficiency of raspberry production in protected area facility type tunnel

“…It should be mentioned the high sensitivity of raspberry towards the many diseases that could cause significant damage in current production, i.e. raspberry requires the application of significant quantity of agro-chemicals (Stevanović et al, 2014). Regardless if it will be consumed as fresh or used as a raw material in the food industry, raspberry is characterized by significant level of perishability, requiring as short as possible sales channels (Radosavljević, 2014).…”
