Our plans for 1979 include increasing the number of IPM orchards 

 and the IPM acreage in each. (The number of check orchards to be 

 scouted will probably decrease.) Since we have better predictive 

 tools for monitoring HAS and AMF adults, our results next year should 

 be even better. The combined efforts of Dr. William Manning and Ted 

 Bardinelli of the Plant Pathology Department will also provide an 

 IPM approach to disease control. 



In conclusion, our integrated insect pest management program in 

 1978 resulted in substantial overall savings of grower money and time, 

 through a reduced number of spray applications, and at the same time, 

 resulted in very high quality fruit production.
