The benches in the entomology greenhouse at LREC are being renovated in order to better support potted citrus. Seedlings are grown in this house and used for experiments to test the effects of insecticides on citrus leafminer. These plants are also used to determine if pheromone disruption can prevent mating, egg laying and plant damage by the leafminer larvae.
