The 'Orchard Radar' pest phenology models for Highmoor Farm will start running by the end of April. I will also be running the same models with weather data for Sanford and Morrill. However, by agreement with the weather data vendor, I can only display the models based on Highmoor data for free. The data can be sent to more than one email address per business, but only to individuals who work for that same business. Contact me if you are interested in any of these options.
Growers provide their own traps.
The scout leaves a report of observations, but does not make management recommendations. The scouting service is made possible by subsidy from the Cooperative Extension Pest Management Office and the Maine State Pomological Society. The first issue of the 2001 Apple Pest Report includes 10 pages of 2001 updates to the Guide .
