We hope that it will be possible to produce apples with a low 

 incidence of insect and disease blemishes whileat the same time 

 employing fewer pesticides. During the 1971 season, nvuch injury 

 occurred in the integrated block as a result of plum curculio and 

 green fruit worm. Therefore, in 1972, a regular spray schedule is 

 being used during the period critical for the control of these two 

 pests and a reduced spray schedule will be used in the cover sprays 

 This should hopefully favor the predators and at the same time re- 

 duce spraying cost. 



Because of the large number of pests infecting apple orchards, 

 and the high quality fruit demanded by the consumer, it is virtu- 

 ally certain that some pesticides will always be necessary for ap- 

 ple growing. However, integrated control programs are potentially 

 applicable to the orchardist. The dependence on chemicals can be 

 minimized while the reliance on natural enemies of pests can be 

 maximized. This ultimately could result in a dollar savings and a 

 cleaner environment.
