    Rodrigo, Thank you much for your reply. I am taking SAP analysis on my grove but have not started yet this spring. My hope is to improve leaf BRIX Above 12 so that leaf miners would no longer feed. This was described by Dr. Dykstra in an AEA video. I have also included some treatments of Beauvaria basiana through microjet to develop an endophyte within the plant against leaf miner. I’m Monitoring with pheromone traps to try to detect the first moths entering my grove. No infection yet.
