Abstract
The integrated management of apricot orchards from Guidelines for integrated production of stone fruits in Europe, IOBC Technical Guideline III 1995, having in view their monitoring through complex research teams in the field of genetics plant breeding, plant protection, biochemistry, physiology, agro chemistry, soil science, irrigations, fruit-tree technology, ecology, marketing, synthesis of collected data at the level of every team, and immediately at decisive level, to create a cybernetic system for application of technological integrated sequences.
Study of apricot biocenosis revealed the existing zonal biodiversity, including 25 spontaneous species outside plantations some of them having a host role for the useful entomofauna, others being hosts for certain pathogens, such as Populus sp., a host for Stereum purpureum and Acer campestre, a host for Pseudomonas syringae pv. Syringae. 35 spontaneous species within the plantations whose monitoring helped the integrated management of weeds MIB, microflora and the rich soil microfauna maintained in an ecological system, the new plantations in which cultivars and selections with genetic resistance to the main diseases of apricot-tree, created after 1985. The integrated protection against pests and infection with various pathogens is mainly achieved by monitoring interaction between the damaging entomofauna and the useful entomofauna, composed by Coccinellidae, Chrysipidae and Miridae, as well as those installed among the pathogen agents and microorganisms with antagonic role, such as those from genera Aurobasidium, Cladosporium, Oospora, Chaetomium, Gliocladium, Trichothecium and Epicoccum.
