What is the overall goal of the PMA?
Evaluate the possibility of managing
pests with less disruptive pesticides
![Page 10: ALMOND BOARD OF CALIFORNIA 1150 Ninth Street, Suite 1500 Modesto, CA 95354 Tel: (209) 549-8262 I n.com The Almond Pest Management Alliance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ef15503460f94c0265b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

What are the specific objectives?
Promote a reduced risk system of almond production
Demonstrate alternative products and practices
Compare orchard management systems as influenced by region, growing conditions, pest and disease pressure
Provide economic comparisons of conventional vs. reduced risk methods
Open channels of communication within almond industry and with regulators

Page 16
What were our first lessons?
Hard to find growers willing to take risk
It’s difficult to define “conventional methods” of orchard management
Need to standardize reporting in the different plots
Need a “no input” plot
We needed more pests, more disease, and more years
![Page 17: ALMOND BOARD OF CALIFORNIA 1150 Ninth Street, Suite 1500 Modesto, CA 95354 Tel: (209) 549-8262 I n.com The Almond Pest Management Alliance](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649ef15503460f94c0265b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Page 17
What have we now learned?
Reduced risk can work for some pests in some areas
Extensive monitoring is the key
Other pests may build in population
Reduced risk may not mean reduced input
