2. neighbors in CA quit using pesticides and their crop doubled..

they were going broke using pesticides and just quit.. they walked thru the orchards and when they saw a problem they applied it to the spot.. a tree or group of trees. .before it spread.. birds can bring in infections.. they used fresh manure spread thinly on the ground and it killed nearly ALL the nematodes.. they are back in business and making money for a change.. they had almond trees.
