Eggs laid in flowers hatch into larvae that bore into fruit. Use beating tray typically during April and May to monitor fruitworm beetles. They are active on warm, sunny days. Lower tolerance for IQF and other high-end fruit. Continue beating tray samples.
Caterpillars feed inside lower canes and crown area.
Cause spindly canes, uneven bud break, and collapse of laterals. Examine lower canes and crown area for this insect. Concentrate efforts in weak areas of a field. Seemingly low populations can increase quite rapidly. Post-harvest fall applied insecticide.
