Place traps immediately after first emergence.
For those of you who ordered OBLR traps through the Extension Office, they are ready to be picked up. Dr. Tim Facteau will retire on July 31st, so this will be Tim's last official pre- harvest tour. After 33 years of research to improve the Mid-Columbia cherry industry, Tim admits to many changes, but says things seem to be moving faster now with the many new varieties, root stocks, etc. Mike Omeg's findings on OBLR have greatly advanced our knowledge of this insect pest under conditions at The Dalles. Because of this advancement, I have asked Mike to revise the pamphlet on OBLR that he and Lynn Long first issued in 1997.
