e1“We found that yields of blocks located in an area with higher participation in coordinated sprays were 28%, 73% and 98% percent higher in 2012/13, 2013/14, and 2014/15, respectively, compared to the yields of blocks under the same management but located in an area with lower participation”

- Intervention effect Citrus blocks in an area with higher participation in coordinated sprays had 73% higher yields in 2013/14 than blocks under the same management in an area with lower participation.
- Intervention effect Citrus blocks in an area with higher participation in coordinated sprays had 98% higher yields in 2014/15 than blocks under the same management in an area with lower participation.
- Observation Participation in the area-wide pest management program (CHMAs) in citrus has not been commensurate with the evidence of its benefit.
- Mechanism Strategic uncertainty about relying on neighbors seems to impose too high a cost for most citrus growers, who end up not coordinating sprays.
