Abstract
An Integrated Pest and Disease Management (IPM) programme for strawberry production was evaluated in a series of studies carried out in 2010. The main aim was to identify suitable field scouting tools and disease thresholds in field trials and to inform growers of IPM practices. The IPM strategy was composed of field scouting, utilisation of an early warning system for management of Botrytis cinerea and inclusion of biological control agents/physical preparations in an overall management system. Although the study only lasted one year, the results helped identify problems and possible areas for further research and development trials. Positive results were generally obtained using the Botrytis warning system BOTEM, while the bio-control organism Neoseiulus cucumeris demonstrated good effect in controlling tarsonemid mites
