The large-scale validation of citrus leafminer (CLM) disruption with the ISCA DCEPT CLM technology has continued. Our group has continued in assisting of collecting data to monitor the efficacy of the product during the project. We have been assisting in monitoring certain areas of the ca. 3,000 acres that were treated at three locations in southeast and southwest Florida. We assisted with collection of efficacy data by trapping CLM males through September with pheromone traps as a surrogate measure of mating disruption. Thus far, it appears that the product has been effective.
