Abstract: Commercial-scale lettuce and celery trials conducted from 1998-2000 in California's Salinas Valley showed that IPM pest control treatments compared favorably with conventional pesticide treatments in terms of yield and quality, but that pest control costs per carton were from $.02 to $.09 higher in the IPM plots.
