Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Sticky-trap exclusion of A. baccarum significantly increased A. schlechtendali numbers in one of four trials.
- Intervention effect Other trials with lower rust mite populations showed either no effect or possible fewer mites following exclusion.
- Intervention effect Combined acaricide and sticky-trap predator exclusion significantly increased rust mites in two of three 1998 trials.
- Mechanism The increase likely reflected acaricide-stimulated reproduction and absence of predator control.
- Mechanism Predator reinvasion after acaricide effects wore off could explain reduced rust mite numbers.
- Recommendation Growers should conserve A. baccarum in their orchards.
