Published purpose
This project aims to reduce the use of insecticides/acaricides in the company's small fruit crops. The project will provide improved control of two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) in raspberry and blackberry, tarsonemus (Phytonemus palludus) in strawberry, midge (Dasineura oxycoccana) in highbush blueberry and tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris) in strawberry. Reducing pest pressure on crops is an essential component of organic production. To achieve these goals, different control methods will be evaluated for each of the predators and crops.
