Research Project: CHEMICAL ATTRACTANTS FOR TRAPPING AND BAITING POLISTES PAPER WASPS WITHIN NAVY LEASED LAND

Location: Fruit and Vegetable Insect Research

2010 Annual Report


1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
Develop pest management methods for paper wasps that are invasive on Tinian and other islands in the Marianas.


1b.Approach (from AD-416)
