Sanitation (e.g., pruning, stumping, and removal of LW-affected trees) and replanting with young trees are cultural practices currently used by avocado growers to reduce the incidence of LW. Surveillance in these managed orchards suggests a decline in ambrosia beetle abundance, and previous research determined that female flight activity is influenced by light intensity. Therefore, we investigated the effect of three canopy covers (i.e., full canopy, topworked, and new planting) on ambrosia beetle abundance. aWeather aPersea Americana aAbiotic factors aRaffaelea lauricola1 aKENDRA, P.
