A VALUABLE SOURCE OF INFORMATION for students, teachers, gardeners, growers, tree fruit industry people, and anyone else with an interest in any aspect of tree fruit production.

Each chapter is followed by references for more in-depth study.

Title:
"Fruit Production for the Home Gardener"
Description:
Fruit Production for the Home Gardener has been developed as a resource for people who wish to produce fruit on a small scale (one acre or less) and who are not legally licensed to use pesticides. Production guides for commercial growers are also available from Penn State Cooperative Extension. This site mirrors the printed guide and emphasizes the most recently developed production methods that use alternative pest control strategies such as integrated pest management (IPM) to reduce pesticide use. To use such systems, the grower needs to have a complete understanding of the fruit planting as an entire system.
The following specialists have contributed to this guide:
