Brief Project Summary:

Dectes Stem Borer damage appears to be more widespread in Delaware than most growers realize. This project will provide for field surveys to determine the pest population and extent of damage. The results will help quantify that damage/loss, raise grower awareness and evaluate the effectiveness of pyrethroid insecticides in managing this pest.
