Abstract

Apple is the most important fruit crop in Hungary besides grape. In 2014 the total growing area was 33 260 ha, which is 41,76% of the total fruit orchards of the country. There are several pests and diseases attacking apple trees, the 3 most important diseases are fire blight (Erwinia amylovora), apple scab (Venturia anaegualis) and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotrichaj. From the pests the most important is codling moth (Cydia pomonella). Fortunately scientists and companies are working hard to provide decision making systems to help growers worldwide to predict pest occurrence and advising them about the timing of their application of pesticides to reduce their impact on the environment and enabling them to provide healthier food. Here I would like to provide an overview of some of the important bests of apple, their occurrence in 2014 and models used to predict their appearance.
