I am looking for information, preferably recent and unpublished, on
non-chemical management strategies for two almond pests:

Peach Twig Borer (Anarsia lineatella)

Navel Orange Worm (Amyelois transitella)

For example, how effective is Goniozus in controlling the NOW? Is
there a problem with hyperparasitism? etc.

What about Pentalitomastix?

Has anyone looked at entomopathogens such as Beauveria and
Metarrhizium?

What are the best cover plants to attract Trich and other beneficials
to the almond orchard?

Anyway, you get the idea. Any information will be greatly
appreciated, and can be sent to me electronically, or by FAX, to
501-442-9842.

Many thanks.
