49	Pest Management Program Costs¹
50	Conclusions Lower levels of foliage pests Higher levels of natural enemies Generally higher levels of summer diseases and fruit injury Generally higher cull levels At cider prices for rejected loads (the most likely scenario), net returns were similar to conventional program Generally more expensive
