Abstract
The three Pacific coast states of California, Oregon and Washington produce in excess of 90% of the commercially grown pears in the United States. Within this geographically limited area, there exist quantitative and qualitative differences in pest fauna. These differences along with substantial variation in climate, cultivar dominance, and horticultural practices demand that the data base necessary for the implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) programs be developed to meet the requirements and needs of individual pear districts. This chapter deals with the development of IPM of insect and mite pests in one such pear district, southern Oregon.
