• (2010) Pear Scab in Oregon: Symptoms, Disease Cycle and Management This publication gives a concise description of the causes, symptoms, and disease cycle of pear scab. It also describes the OSU-MCAREC three-part model to predict scab risk and help time fungicide sprays. Integrating nonchemical methods and fungicide applications optimized with the OSU-MCAREC model can result in production of high-quality pears with reduced production costs, and multiple benefits from lower pesticide use, such as lower risk of resistance development, reduced environmental loading of pesticides, and reduced pesticide exposure.
• (2010) Predicting and Managing Gray Mold Rot of Pear in Oregon This publication describes gray mold disease symptoms and the disease cycle and outlines a model that can help pear packers predict the relative risk of gray mold development in stored fruit before the fruit is placed in cold storage.
• (2019) Preventing Water Contamination and Pesticide Drift: A Checklist for Pesticide Applicators When applying pesticides it is important to avoid water contamination and pesticide drift as much as possible. This checklist can help. Three separate checklists (before, during and after) make it easier to remember things to do before, during and after an application to avoid contamination and drift.
• (2020) Recognize the Symptoms and Causes of Stunted Growth in Vineyards Spring frost, herbicide drift, water or nutrient stress, diseases, and insect and mite pests can cause similar symptoms of stunting or distorted growth in grapevines. Recognizing the symptoms and distinguishing their causes is the first step in diagnosing problems and developing a management plan. With many color photos, this publication will help you identify probable causes of distorted shoot and vine growth in vineyards and direct you to other resources that can lead to solutions
