- Scouts are monitoring codling moth activity with pheromone traps. When codling moth numbers average 3 or more per trap, a biofix date is set and growing degree days (GDD) are tracked from that biofix date. Treatment options are based on GDD days accumulated from the biofix date. Surprisingly, despite the cool spring, codling moth number at some locations range from near, to at that biofix threshold of 3 or more moths per trap average.
- Scouts are noting winter injury on peach trees with few trees showing any blossoms at this point.
