potential mosquito problems. However, they should pose no more of a problem than <br /> alfalfa fields. <br /> Various control measures will be implemented. Proposed seasonal wetland development <br /> will include deep water areas where mosquito fish (Gambusia sp.), which feed on <br /> mosquitoes, will survive. These areas will serve to harbor fish populations which can then <br /> move into the seasonal wetlands. <br /> Vegetation will be managed to allow mosquito fish access to areas where mosquitoes could <br /> become a problem. Additional mosquito control measures may include the use of granular <br /> formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israeliensis as a biological control agent. <br /> However,certain vegetation management strategies could led to mosquito problems, <br /> namely, summer irrigation for watergrass germination. This will call for close cooperation <br /> with the San Joaquin Mosquito Abatement District. The ability to quickly drain wetlands <br /> and the use of various biological control agents will be a prerequisite for mosquito control <br /> in summer, moist-soil management. <br /> Buckeye Ranch Resource Plan (November, 1993) <br /> 192 <br />
