Author: Tom Unruh
Published: 2005
Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1) Establish new and expand existing rose gardens and establish Ancylis and C. florus 2) Measure parasitism of and damage by leafrollers at different distances along transects from rose plantings into apple orchards. 3) Monitor the seasonal phenology and stability of alternate host populations in rose gardens and associated parasitism of SLR by C. florus and other parasitoids 4) Conduct field-day demonstrations for establishing and maintaining rose plantings and widely disseminate information from project to grower community
