Item Index to Theses and Dissertations in Agronomy and Soil Science(1990) Rotar, Peter P.Item Landscape-Level Conservation Planning for Hawaiʻi's Small-Scale Farm Groups(2015-06-15) Esgate, Thomas W.; Ilano, Eileen; El-Swaify, SamirLandscape-level conservation planning makes sense for Hawaiʻi's small-scale farmers and natural resources. Small-scale farming in Hawai'i is on the rise.

Small-scale farms are becoming more common in Hawai'i as plantation agriculture involving sugarcane and pineapple has diminished, diversified agriculture has gained a firm foothold, and markets for fresh, local produce have expanded. Small-scale farmers are producing food to feed their families, to meet the increasing demand for locally and sustainably grown agricultural products, and to move the Islands, which import between 60-70% of fresh fruits and vegetables alone, toward food self-sufficiency.Item Hawai‘i-grown tea: a market feasibility study executive summary(University of Hawaii, 2011-09) Nakamoto, Stuart T.; Gonsowski, Jie; Hamasaki, Randall; Petersen, Elyse; Seguritan, AurencioThis report is a feasability study for developing tea into a viable and sustainable industry for the state of Hawai‘i.

Traps with species specific lures are used for monitoring and population elimination. Field sanitation— removing and sequestering or destroying all fruit left in the field is critical to the success of the HAW-FLYPM program. In addition, roosting crops and releases of sterile male flies and parasitoid wasps can be used to enhance the program, if needed.
