e0“The combination of demeton‐S‐methyl treatments and sticky traps to exclude A. baccarum resulted in significantly more A. schlechtendali in two trials out of three in 1998.”

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.
- Mechanism The increase likely reflected acaricide-stimulated reproduction and absence of predator control.
- Intervention effect Acaricide alone significantly reduced rust mites at the end of the 1999 season.
- Mechanism Predator reinvasion after acaricide effects wore off could explain reduced rust mite numbers.
- Recommendation Growers should conserve A. baccarum in their orchards.
