Footprints: the most valuable input
Spraying citrus destined for the fresh fruit market represents a major proportion of total production costs; an average of 30%. Thus, it is important to optimize control obtained with each spray. Proper timing and choice of pesticides can only be achieved with the help of accurate information on pest incidence. Therefore, regular scouting is necessary for successful management. Even in process blocks, unexpected pest outbreaks can damage trees or threaten a crop, from whence the adage that the most valuable inputs to a grove are footprints.
