Encore: NOW Mating Disruption with David Haviland

Encore: NOW Mating Disruption with David Haviland

Luke Milliron
Pests

We’re re-sharing part two of the navel orangeworm (NOW) mini-series, where Luke Milliron sits down with farm advisor David Haviland to discuss the efficacy of mating disruption for managing NOW in almond.

This interview takes place in December 2017 after the Almond Conference. Research on the efficacy of mating disruption for NOW by UC researchers is ongoing in 2018. Haviland mentions three available mating disruption products: Suterra, Pacific Biocontrol and Semios (all aerosol dispensers, none are organic). A fourth product, the Trécé MESO are passively emitting “strip” dispensers was registered after this episode was posted.

For a summary of Haviland’s 2017 NOW mating disruption findings (Trécé product on slide 16 has since been registered), as well as almond integrated pest management updates from other UC researchers please see: almonds.com/sites/default/files/content/attachments/Th-308%201045am%20SESSION%20Slides_0.pdf
