Research has been conducted on peach species cultivated in Research and Development Station for FruitTree Growing-Baneasa, Bucharest, in the climatic conditions of the year 2012. Stigmina carpophila was the pathogenfor which measures have been taken for its prevention and control. Treatments against pathogen were applied atwarning, depending on the biological reserve of the vegetation period and the climate evolution in that year. Among thefive fungicides used, the best results were obtained with the products Score 250 EC and Systhane C PU.Key words: peach orchard, disease control, ARM software.INTRODUCTIONPrunus persica L. culture has a high economicvalue on national as well as on internationallevel. Production and fruits marketing is thegoal of an intense modern trade. Annually, thetrees suffer from attacks of various pathogenscausing crop diseases which develop dependentto the climate conditions of the year and to thecultivated variety (Ivascu, 2002; Delian, 2006).Long term use of pesticides in pomiculture andignoring its side effects, have had negativeconsequences towards the environment (Hozaet al., 2000; Burzo et al., 2005). Nowdays, themore severe requirements regarding theenvironment protection and health orchards ledto the development of ecological selectivemethods (Toncea, 2001) specifically for thecrops pest control (Jinga et al., 2008). Thetreatments applied during the vegetation perioddetermine the improvement of the yield’squality and quantity (Delian et al., 2012).MATERIALS AND METHODSThe evaluation of several plant protectionproducts efficacy against the main studiedpathogens for the peach culture was developed81during several visits at the Research andDevelopment Station for Fruit Tree Growing-Baneasa. There were taken biological samples(plants with pathogen attack symptoms) fromthis orchard and there were isolated the mainpathogen agents. The isolated pathogens wereused in laboratory experiments for testing thesenew plant protection products proposed in thetechnology. After the laboratory trials, therewere also performed field treatments, duringthe spring season, in the vegetation period, withfungicides, followed by establishing theefficacy of the tested products. In the Prunuspersica L. orchard there were carried outtreatments in order to prevent and control theattack of the main fruit’s pathogens. The attackrate was calculated with the formulas RA%=F*I/100, F%-frequency of the attacked organs,I – intensity of the organ’ attack. The testedpeach variety was Victoria, which is a sensitiveone. During the laboratory trials was tested thebiological action of the following products:Dithane M45, Bravo Folicur Solo 250EW,Score 250 EC and Systhane C PU. It was useda method based on the inclusion of the testedfungicide into the PDA medium, in 5 differentconcentrations. The medium was poured in
