apples
oranges
grapes
head lettuce
fresh market tomatoes
strawberries
I have data on growers' use of a number of practices in these
crops, including scouting, use of beneficial insects, trap crops,
pheremone traps, water management to control pests, pruning and
canopy management, alternating pesticides to control resistance,
selecting pesticides to protect natural populations of
beneficials, planting resistant varieties, and adjusting planting
dates and locations to avoid pests. I want to use these data to
identify growers using IPM. What I need to know is, which of
these practices are included in IPM programs in which regions and
for which of the six crops? My data are for all major producing
states.
Thanks for your help!
