Pecks Astragalus is a rare plant with limited distribution in California and Oregon. One reason is due to damage caused by the larvae of the moth Sparganothis tunicana. There is a need to test if reducing the pest damage will increase reproduction.
Location
The study will include 1 to 3 acres located near Copperfield Draw, South of Sprague River Road.
