orchards in British Columbia. It features beneficial arthropods which are common
and/or important in seed orchards, with emphasis on biology and conservation.
The term beneficial is used to include not only predators and parasites, but

provided to assist seed orchard managers in attracting and retaining beneficial
arthropods. Pesticides toxicities specific to each beneficial are listed when
