Research on parasitic nematodes and pathogenic virus vectors in intensive apple orchards in different areas of the Republic of Moldova

Abstract

In the result of phytosanitary research carried out in apple production orchards, of classic-intensive-superintensive type, capitalized in the production associations from various areas: North, Center, South, South-East, 12 districts, 6 production associations, 8 private households, on areas of over 800 ha, where over 200 soil and organ samples affected by helminthology and virosis were collected, subsequently analyzed, with the establishment of parasitic and virotic impact, numerical density values and disease level, virus diversity.
