Did you catch Suterra on social media this month? Recap on our most recent posts for mating disruption information, grower tips and tricks and more in this May summary.
From pollinators of all types to parasitoid wasps that reduce pest populations as part of their natural lifecycle, orchards and vineyards are full of invertebrate species providing benefits to the crops where they live. What are some of your favorite species to see in the field?
Everything in almond and pistachio orchards can be connected, and many predator species help keep populations of pests like spider mites down.
However, these same predators are susceptible to broad-spectrum pesticides used to treat common nut crop pests, like navel orangeworm. Using species-specific mating disruption to reduce NOW populations, almond growers can reduce their pesticide input and protect beneficial predators.

Codling moth (CM) is a major pest of walnuts, causing significant economic losses for growers. One effective method of control is the use of mating disruption, which involves the release of pheromones that interfere with the moth's ability to mate and reproduce.
