Dan, Have you read through the ATTRA publications? These are highly reputable
publications; from their site: “These resources offer detailed
information on production of specific horticultural crops, focusing on
sustainable and organic production methods for traditional produce, and also
introducing a range of alternative crops and enterprises. In these publications
you can find information on strategies for more sustainable greenhouse and
field production of everything from lettuce to trees.” Some of the titles relevant to apples are: Tree Fruits: Organic Production Overview Insect IPM in
Apples: Kaolin Clay Organic and Low-Spray Apple Production Considerations in Organic Apple Production
The site address is: http://www.attra.org/horticultural.html and the publications will come up in HTML and/or .pdf
format. -----Suzi From: nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org

Behalf Of Dan Durica I read in The Apple Grower that applying lime to fallen
apple leaves in the late fall will inhibit the reproduction of
scab. The only problem is the book doesn't say how much to apply. I
don't want to alter the pH and hurt the trees. Has anyone ever used this
method to control scab? I've already raked most of the leaves up, but
there are always broken leaves that escape the rake. I'm using
only organic methods in the orchard. Any help would be appreciated. Dan Durica |
