Abstract
Research also showed for the first time that mite predators planted in almond orchards can disperse aerially.
We thank K. Casanave, E. Serber, D. Ravetto, T. Browne, and R. Grigg for assistance. This project is supported in part by funds from the Almond Board of California, IPM Program of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and Experiment Station Project 3522-H. We are especially grateful to the growers who made their orchards available: Bidart Farms, Blackwell Land Company, C. V. Horton, A. Bettencourt, Sumner-Peck Ranch, and H. Deniz.
