### action:

Defoliation
* Most defoliation occurs late in the summer the second year after infection.
* also cuts off the food supply to late season insects that are entering diapause
  - makes the plants weaker and more susceptible to winter injury as well
  - predisposes trees to bark beetle attack
* can also affect seed development and germination characteristics
  - reduce the abundance of flowers the following spring
  - result in sunburn of the fruit and quality loss
  - be severe when conditions favor disease development
  - reduce yields and lessen winter hardiness
* directly affects trees by decreasing their health and vigor.
  - important management practice associated with high yields and high quality cotton
  - especially severe when trees under water stress are subject to drying winds
  - particularly noticeable during winter months
  - possible relative to population levels
  - recognized as small, round holes between major leaf veins
* measure of the leaf area destroyed by the storm.
