Collapse ▲
Brown Marmorated Stink Bug: As shown in the chart below, emergence of first generation adults is well underway in the Cleveland/Lincoln County (about 60% complete) and Wilkes County (18% complete) areas, so the threat for damage will continue to increase over the coming weeks at both locations. Cooler temperatures in Henderson County and at higher elevations has delayed emergence, but the model predicts initial emergence Friday (8/13). Based on temperature forecasts, emergence in Henderson County will be about 10% complete next Tuesday (8/17), at which time control on susceptible cultivars should begin.
Codling Moth and Oriental Fruit Moth: With only a few exceptions, populations of the two key lepidopteran pests have been relatively low this year in managed orchards. Based on the degree-day model, in Henderson County (2016 DD) we are nearing the end of the second generation egg laying period, while in Lincoln County (2605 DD) emergence of the third generation is about 25% complete. While oriental fruit moth populations remain low in most commercial orchards, populations often begin to increase this time of the year in orchards not using mating disruption. However, pyrethroids applied for BMSB are highly effective at controlling this pest.
Apple Maggot: As of 9 August we have caught only 2 apple maggot flies on traps on the research station and 0 in our abandoned orchard. These captures are lower and later than previous years.
