First paragraph
Add a second paragraph: “At a minimum,
an artificially created buffer area around
the perimeter of the FF-ALPP would be
required and the width should be based on
the biology of the pest, in particular its
known flight range. The buffer could be
maintained in one of two ways –
continuous application of bait sprays or
removal of all host plants.”
Otherwise, fruit from within the FF-ALPP
could be infested by pre-mated females from
outside the area.
