Author: Peter Landolt, Greg Glenn
Published: 2008
Summary: This project objectives were: 1. Develop, test, and select a biodegradable replacement, to be applied as a liquid or semi-solid to a tree trunk. 2. Evaluate pesticides and pathogenic nematodes in a candidate foam material to determine both larval recruitment, mortality and duration of effectiveness. 3. Compare cardboard banding and a biodegradable foam in apple orchards for efficacy and cost assessments.
