Four experimental variants (mechanical feeler, herbicide, repellent plants, biodegradable mulch) were compared in terms of the degree of attack by pathogens and pests. The results show that the variant with repellent plants had the best efficiency in reducing the pressure of pathogen and pest attack, a viable ecological alternative for integrated management of fruit plantations.Englisheco-schemescherryrepellent plantsbiodiversitybiodegradableArticle2069-8275
