Abstract
A surprising variety of apricots, plums and tart cherries can be grown in Minnesota. Although insect and disease pressure is lower here than in states to the south or east, there are insects and diseases that can destroy fruit and harm trees. Pest problems are best dealt with through the practice of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is a sustainable approach that allows gardeners to reduce pests to a tolerable level by using the best balance of cultural, physical, biological, & chemical management strategies. IPM takes into account the level of damage a pest is capable of causing, as well as the possible risks to humans and the environment associated with each pest management strategy.
