DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOPESTICIDE BASED ON ESSENTIAL OILS BY TREE-INJECTION APPLICATION IN FRUIT ORCHARDS

The rosy apple aphid (Disaphys plantaginea) and the pear psylla (Cacopsylla pyri) are responsible for large yield decreases in both apple and pear orchads through sap sucking and desease spreading. TREE INJECTION aims to propose an alternative technique based on an essential oil formulation that will be injected directly in the tree vascular system.
