LBAM Flight Ticking Up- Time to be Alert

Mar 11, 2014

Local berry growers should take note that our in-house LBAM person, Neal Murray, notes the following in his twice monthly update tracking LBAM activity in the Monterey Bay area:

"We expect to see peak flight activity very soon.  Continue vigilant scouting and monitoring for larvae.  Mating disruption dispensers should already be in place and thorough scouting should be utilized to look for feeding larvae."

If you are an organic berry grower, you really should be following this advice and putting out the mating disruption dispensers, as your other options are limited.  The dispensers work and are worth the while.
