متن کاملEvaluation of Systemic Chemicals for Avocado Thrips and Avocado Lace Bug Management
We are evaluating systemic insecticides for the management of current and newly emerging pests of California avocados. Studies are being conducted in commercial avocado groves, under normal agronomic practices. Trees are treated using a variety of techniques – soil application, trunk injection – to establish the methods that will provide the best uptake of insecticide for the protection of the ...
