Insects are Quieting Down for the Winter

Dec 16, 2011

The cold weather in combination with citrus leafminer damage is causing new flush to turn brown.  This mandarin block at LREC has been flushing continously and has been attacked by citrus leafminers for many months. The leafminers will now stop growing and hunker down till winter is over (finally!).  We are happy to see that population finally declining.
