The beetle is a vector for the plant disease fusarium dieback. First detected in the Los Angeles basin in 2012, it has quickly spread as far north as San Luis Obispo. Currently there are no control measures for the disease. While the current economic impact to crops is focused on avocados, computer models suggest almond to be a potential host. This publication explains the life cycle, biology and identification, look-alike pests, signs and symptoms of infestation and damage, reproductive hosts, and landscape and agricultural host species. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/882856q3 Fri, 17 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Eskalen, Akif Kabashima, John Dimson, Monica Lynch, Shannon https://escholarship.org/uc/item/52x4z2z5 The South American tomato leafminer <i>Tuta Absoluta</i> is a serious and devastating pest of both fresh market and processing tomatoes. <i>Tuta</i> continues to spread throughout the tomato-growing areas of the world. Computer models have predicted that this pest has a moderate likelihood of establishing itself in the commercial tomato producing areas of California, Arizona, and the southern United States. This publication explains the host plants, life cycle, damage of the pest along with monitoring an management methods. https://escholarship.org/uc/item/52x4z2z5 Fri, 17 May 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Godfrey, Kris Zalom, Frank Chiu, Joanna https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7dg141q7 Besides growing crops, a farmer is an active steward of the natural resources that support those crops.
