摘要：We investigate how phytosanitary regulations related to apple maggot could affect optimal pestcontrol strategies and profits for apple producers potentially located in apple maggot quarantineareas. We estimate producer profits by an orchard’s quarantine status subject to a phytosanitaryregulation requiring an additional cold storage period, reflecting the import requirements of Chinaand British Columbia (Canada). Interestingly, we find that the increased cost burden generated bythe additional cold storage from quarantine areas has an unintended consequence of raising thenumber of chemical applications, suggesting a substitution effect between pesticide applicationand cold storage.
