From our field investigation from 2017 to 2018, five diseases and four insect pests have been identified as the primary biotic stressors of fruit-producing mulberry, which include popcorn disease and mulberry sucker, respectively.In this fsu headband study, we examined the relative control effects of selected agro-chemicals against the popcorn disease and mulberry sucker.Our systemic treatment methods to simultaneously control the popcorn disease and the mulberry sucker indicated that an integrated control method showed a superior result with the control efficacy of 89.3%, while a conventional control method resulted in 66.7%.
As a result, we concluded that it is much efficient to control both disease and insect pest in mid-April while sequentially applying chemicals only for the popcorn disease from February.By considering the ecological aspects of the popcorn disease and mulberry sucker, raceline renegade 8 16x10 this systemic treatment will be able to reduce the labor of growers required for the control.
