Abstract
Sustainable biological management of important temperate fruit diseases involves utilizing ecological and biological principles to control or mitigate the impact of diseases on fruit crops. This approach focuses on minimizing the use of synthetic chemicals and promoting practices that are environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially responsible. This chapter explores innovative strategies for the sustainable biological management of key temperate fruit diseases, aiming to enhance fruit quality while minimizing environmental impact. Focusing on ecological principles, the chapter discusses practices such as crop rotation, the use of resistant varieties, biological control, companion planting, and organic amendments. The chapter includes the various plant diseases and their sustainable management through various biological practices. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced ecosystem through proper irrigation, sanitation, and cultural practices. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches and the role of education, research, and innovation are highlighted to empower growers in adopting environmentally friendly and economically viable methods. By providing a comprehensive overview of sustainable biological management practices, this chapter aims to contribute to the promotion of resilient and ecologically sound fruit production systems.
