Avoid application of B.t. Most weevils are in the larval stage at this time. A few weevil larvae indicate that a preharvest clean up spray will be necessary for adult weevil control. Most weevils have not emerged yet. Begin beating tray samples usually in mid- May to detect emerging adults.
Adults emerge early in the season as buds start to break.
Also called bud weevil. Slightly smaller than BVW adult, reddish legs. Adults feed on foliage, leaf stems, and buds. Look for leaf flagging and notched leaves. Use beating tray to dislodge them from canopy.
