| Abstract: | In Eastern New York as well as in most other deciduous fruit
growing regions of the world, herbicides are being used more
frequently to eliminate weeds within the tree row. In addition to
removal of the ground cover habitat, the herbicides may also be
highly toxic to predator species (5,10). This study was initiated
to investigate the effects differing ground cover management
practices have on the predator/prey relationships found in New
York apple orchards. |
