Abstract
"This publication presents information relevant to organic and
reduced-pesticide peach production systems. It emphasizes the
considerable climatic differences between the arid West, which is
relatively amenable to organic peach production, and the humid East,
where it is very difficult to grow peaches without synthetic
fungicides and insecticides.
The major diseases and insect pests are described and organic or
least-toxic controls are discussed for each. A successful organic
peach grower in California is profiled; new and old "soft" pesticides
are discussed; and a model reduced-spray program for the East is
introduced.
Finally, additional references, publications, and electronic
information sites are listed."
