Summary: The objectives in this project were: 1. Validate phenology models for C. plorabunda, E. fummipennis and D. brevis in non-bearing blocks. 2. Develop and implement new models for aphids, mites, and natural enemies. 3. Develop a molecular test to differentiate the different Chrysoperla species present in the SCRI grant collections to improve the phenology and lure information for that species complex.
