Article Synopsis
- The avocado seed moth Stenoma catenifer is a damaging pest for avocados, particularly in the neotropics, yet its distribution within a tree is not well understood.
- Researchers studied how canopy height and the side of the tree affect fruit infestation in three organic avocado orchards in São Paulo, Brazil.
- Results showed that infestation was highest at the top of the trees and on the eastern side, while ground fruit had lower infestation levels, providing insights to improve pest management strategies.
