Preliminary data suggests that pheromone trap counts of the navel orangeworm Amyelois transitella (Walker) crop damage are significantly correlated in almonds but not in pistachios. Currently there is not a commercially available pheromone lure for navel orangeworm, and egg counts on traps containing an oviposition attractant are used to time insecticide application. Here we use data from various experiments in 2004, 2005, and 2006 to examine the range and frequency distribution of egg counts found in these two crops and the correlation between trap counts and subsequent damage.
