In a bid to manage the apple core rot disease, which causes 30 to 40 per cent loss of production, scientists of Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, have suggested pruning and training of apple trees to allow proper sunlight and air to reach every part of the tree. The scientists said every year this disease resulted in economic loss of Rs 720 million to the state. Affected fruits initially do not produce any signs and symptoms as the pathogen remains incipient in the seed core of the fruit, however, such fruits have a bitter taste when eaten.
Control strategy: In order to curb its incidence, the scientists have suggested a slew of measures which include spray of mancozeb (600g) or zineb (600 g) per 200 litres of water at the pink bud stage. In addition, orchards having high incidence history of core rot, sprays of difenoconazole (30 ml) or hexaconazole (100 ml) per 200 litres of water are generally recommended for the management of apple scab and powdery mildew at the petal-fall stage.
