EVALUATION OF ETHYL FORMATE FOR USE AS A PHYTOSANITARY TREATMENT FOR LIGHT BROWN APPLE MOTH

Objective

The goal of this project is to develop quaratine LBAM treatments for California fruit and vegetable commodities in export channels so that current markets are retained and new markets are gained. The specific objective of this collaboration with UC scientists (Mitcham) involves the determination of the insecticidal efficacy of ethyl formate, Vapormate, to light brown apple moth lifestages, including: eggs, pupae, larvae, and adults.
