CM flight began soon after bloom, and catch in traps has been running well below that of last year. This year the number is down to 0.4. At this point, the crop appears to be average in size, with good quality. CM biofix was established on April 15 at this site. This site uses foliar horticultural oil applications for supplementary control of codling moth, psylla and mites.
CM catch so far is equal to or less than last year.
CM biofix was set for April 25. Isomate Special, a dispenser containing both codling moth and leafroller pheromone, is being used on 40 acres. Warm weather following bloom has accelerated CM flight, and at least half of the CAMP site will receive a first cover. No other pests are of general concern at this point. Full bloom on apples occurred about April 24-26, and CM biofix was set for April 26.
