Cultural and chemical pest control methods alter habitat suitability for biological control agents: An example from Wisconsin commercial cranberry [abstract]. Entomological Society of America Annual Meeting. Paper No. D3114.Interpretive Summary:
                                Technical Abstract: An integrated pest control program requires an in-depth understanding of the compatibility of all control strategies used. In Wisconsin commercial cranberry production, early-season control strategies may include either a broad-spectrum insecticide application or a corresponding spring flood, along with native naturally occurring biological control agents. To determine the potential compatibility between native biological control and cultural and chemical control methods, pest pressure was analyzed on cranberry marshes receiving either a spring flood or an insecticide treatment, and predation and parasitism of a key cranberry pest was compared between the two treatments.
