Evaluating the push‐pull strategy in eastern apple orchards: verbenone effectively reduces ambrosia beetle populations without the need for a pull factor in a species‐specific manner
Verbenone reduced ambrosia beetle populations in apple orchards as a push factor, demonstrating effective, species-specific pest management without requiring a pull factor in a push-pull management s...
