Areawide management programs for insect pests of apple and pear in the Western US have been successful since their inception a decade ago, targeting codling moth through mating disruption to replace organophosphate insecticides. Pear psylla, another important pear pest, is also appropriate for areawide management, being highly dispersive with potential natural enemies in surrounding habitat. Establishing organic orchards among conventional orchards has been difficult: pests readily migrate from adjacent conventional orchards, yet natural enemy movement is limited by the pesticide barriers. Organic IPM on an areawide basis provides opportunities for immigration of biocontrol agents. In 2002, an Areawide Organic Management Program was established on 310 acres of contiguous pear, surrounded by native vegetation. Organic IPM practices were implemented for insect control throughout the project. However, other organic practices were not required (e.g., nutrient, rodent, and weed management), and approximately 50% of the acreage was Certified Organic. Over three years, there was a reduction in pesticide use and insecticide costs, with no differences in pest densities. However, there have been no correlated increases in natural enemy densities. Fruit yield and quality have been maintained, and alternative marketing programs have been attempted. The success of the program has led to expansion into other areas.
