Orchard IPM - Field Guide to Tree Fruit Disorders, Pests, and Beneficials

The scouting guide, titled "A Field Guide to Tree Fruit Disorders, Pests, and Beneficials," is full-color and a convenient pocket-size. It is coded by crop and affected plant part to facilitate easy use in the field.

Production of the bilngual guide was made possible by a Beginning Farmer/Rancher Grant titled "Supporting Pennsylvania New Farmers: The Start-up, Re-strategizing and Establishing Years" (USDA-NIFA Grant # 2015-70017-22852). This grant supported model apple plots that served as "living classrooms" on sustainable orchard practices for study circles for young, beginning, and Latino farmers.

Videos that describe orchard scouting are also available in Spanish and English:
