Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Assess natural enemy complex of cherry arthropod pests from representative OR and WA cherry orchards using herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPV), visual inspections, and beating tray sampling. 2. Determine phenology of key natural enemies in OR and WA cherry orchards. 3. Validate predictive emergence models for key natural enemies that occur in OR and WA cherry orchards.
