Benefit/cost analysis of an integrated mite management program for almonds
An integrated mite management program for almonds is being implemented in California. Implementation includes using a predatory mite, Metaseiulus occidentalis (Nesbitt), genetically selected in the laboratory; monitoring predator/spider mite populations; and using reduced rates and numbers of applications of acaricides selective to this predator. Economic analysis suggests that growers who adopt the program will save 60/ha ( 24/acre) to 110/ha ( 44/acre). Programmatic benefit/cost analysis suggests that annual return on the research investment will range from 280 to 370 percent. This high rate of return on the original research investment may be due, in part, to the fact that more than half of the resources were allocated to field testing and implementation research
