#West Nile virus spreading due to mosquitoes in orchards and vineyards, experts warnwashington State university researchers have linked orchards
and American robins abundance of mosquitoes and the actual prevalence of West Nile in mosquitoes--are increasing in landscapes with a higher proportion of land in orchard habitats.
These habitats says Crowder include both orchards and vineyards. It's still unclear why the habitats would create such a perfect storm for the virus. The researchers speculate that mosquitoes are drawn to orchards for plant nectar during flowering
while robins and house sparrows use them for nesting and feeding. Together the insects and birds become focal points for the disease.

Biological sciences shows that the pollination effectiveness of honey bees in California almond orchards was greater in the presence of other bees.
and their pollination effectiveness was greater than in orchards where other bees were absent. Furthermore orchards with wild bees had a greater proportion fruit set.
These findings show that wild pollinators not only contribute directly to almond pollination but also indirectly through increasing the pollination service provided by the honey bees.
Secondly in high winds orchards with only honey bees present had almost no pollination service as the honey bees were not flying.
In orchards with a diversity of pollinators pollination service was buffered to an extent by the wild bees.

#Organic apple orchards benefit from green compost applicationsin traditional apple orchards effective management practices rely on two interrelated components:
University of Arkansas scientists published a study that includes recommendations for the use of various groundcover management systems for apple orchard floors.
They say that selected management systems can improve soil quality in organically managed apple orchards.
Curt Rom corresponding author of the study (published in Hortscience) explained that orchards established on the weathered acidic mineral soils in the Ozark Highlands must be managed strategically
A common characteristic of Ozark Highland soils is a relatively low soil organic matter concentration a condition that can have detrimental effects on orchard productivity Rom said.
The experiments were performed in an organically managed apple orchard that was established in 2006 and continues today at the University of Arkansas'Agricultural Research and Extension Center in Fayetteville.
The results showed that the use of various groundcover management systems as an orchard floor management tool can increase soil organic matter total soil and total nitrogen mineral soils thereby improving soil quality.
Compared with conventional apple orchards managed with herbicides and fertilizers green compost wood chip and shredded paper treatment may result in improved soil quality the authors concluded.
and water resources and maintaining the health of the orchard ecosystem. According to Rom the study has implications for sustainably
