Jaime Pinero and Ronald J. Prokopy. University of Massachusetts, Department of Entomology, Fernhald Hall, Amherst, MA

Behavioral responses of overwintered plum curculios to two types of traps baited with different amounts of aggregation pheromone and an attractive fruit volatile were assessed in an apple orchard to monitor extent and timing of plum curculio immigration from overwintering sites.

Species 1: Coleoptera Curculionidae Conotrachelus nenuphar (plum curculio)
