Goals / Objectives
Measure the effectiveness of different psyllid trap-lure combinations and biocontrol agents in the field.
Methods (unparsed)
Sentinel containerized host trees will be used to provide: 1) Enhanced psyllid attraction from natural host chemistry and visual cues; 2) Unlimited opportunities to add other available technology (spore sprayers, acoustic callers, visual cues, odors, etc.) as appropriate toward the objectives; 3) The ability to circumvent limitations inherent to planted trees; and 4) Rapid deployment and adaptability combined with a trap designed to be both a ¿fungal delivery mechanism¿ and an efficient trap for quantifying psyllid treatment responses.
