This symposium will focus on implementation and development of an area-wide program for Navel Orangeworm, Amyelois transitella, in CA tree nut crops. The program is still in development, so this symposium will highlight the current program scope and recent/anticipated developmental work (with a focus on work supporting sterile insect technique).
