This placement of ropes disrupted attraction to conventional pheromone traps for the duration of the season. Fruit damage was not significantly different from that in a control block (conventional pesticide application): twig damage was significantly lower relative to the control. Implications for pest management in mature and nonbearing blocks are discussed.235 - 239 page(s)application/pdfenIn CopyrightDisruption of olfactory communication in oriental fruit moth and lesser appleworm in a Virginia peach orchardArticle - RefereedJournal of Agricultural Entomology5
