Thanks Dennis for your input.  Personally, I wish there was a LOT more emphasis on IPM fruit.  I may have said this before, but to me it's the way to go for commercial production.  Please, give me the choice to buy fruit that's been sprayed 2-4X instead of 24X.  But the grocery offers only conventional or organic, and I feel lucky to have even that choice now.  I think if they offered some IPM fruit, with a little explanation of what it is, I think the public would vote yes with their wallets.

Alas, I don't think you're right.  I've tried to explain the benefits of IPM to several friends.  I've succeeded a few times.  But it took way more explanation than anyone would read on a placard at the market.
