PARASITOID RELEASES

COLLECTION TRAP

Daniel FloresFebruary 3, 2010

CURRENT PRODUCTION

• during the months of October-November

• low-volume release of 20 parasitoids

• 2-3 generations

• parasitism rates of 19.8% were observed

• estimated 2000 parasitoids

• net return of 100X

Daniel FloresFebruary 3, 2010

PROJECTIONS

• increase our yield

• timing - in the spring and summer months

• release numbers - 10 to 50-fold

• inducing 2 to 5-times more flush

• project 40,000 - 200,000 parasitoids per tree

Daniel FloresFebruary 3, 2010

• Quarantine screening, rearing, and mass production of new strains of Tamarixia and any other biological control agents.

• Develop methods and protocols for the easy release of large volumes of biological control organisms.

• Qualify and quantify the impact of large-volume releases of biological control agents in organic groves, commercial groves, and dooryards.

• Transfer technology and/or biological control organisms to federal, state, and other cooperators in affected states for release.
