Lacewings Make A Meal Out Of Mealybugs

摘要

Researchers hope to develop a system to reduce the need for chemical controls. PEAR growers in Washington state's rich We-natchee Valley have found they can battle troublesome pests such as pear psylla and codling moth with integrated pest management(IPM) techniques. They are using insect growth regulators for pear psylla control, and pheromone mating disruption to fight codling moth.
