Codling moth DD accumulations range from about 1480 in Henderson County to 1770 in Lincoln County, indicating that egg hatch of second generation codling moth is beginning in Henderson County and is about 40% complete in lower elevation orchards. Depending on population intensity, one or two applications of an insecticide effective against codling moth are recommended at this time. It should be noted that with a few exceptions, codling moth populations appear to be very low this year. There is minimal damage from the first generation and pheromone trap captures have been very low throughout the year.
In orchards using mating disruption for coding moth, insecticides targeting second generation codling moth are not necessary unless pheromone trap captures (orchard average per trap) exceeds a cumulative of 3 moths per trap over successive weeks when using CML2 or CMDA lures. In orchards that have used mating disruption for more than 3 or 4 years, insecticides are usually not necessary against the second generation. However, pheromone traps should be used to confirm low population pressure.
Emergence of first-generation adult brown marmorated stink bug is now beginning in lower elevation orchards including Lincoln, Cleveland, and Burke Counties. First generation adult emergence in Henderson County is not expected for at least another two weeks.
In orchards where BMSB is a concern, an insecticide effective against this insect should be considered at this time. This includes most pyrethroid insecticides except Asana, the neonicotinoids Venom/Scorpion and Actara (35-day PHI), and the premix Besiege. The premixes Endigo and Voliam Flexi are also effective, but both have a 35-day PHI due to the thiamethoxam component.
Finally, in those orchards that had significant plum curculio damage earlier in the year, emergence of first-generation adults occurs during July. These adults can feed on apples and peaches before seeking overwintering sites. Again, this is primarily a concern where a sufficient number of individuals completed development in fruit, which is usually very low in this region.

*Note that averages presented here are intended only to illustrate the timing of insect emergence and fluctuations in population activity, and not as general indicators of population levels. Some orchards included in these averages have significantly higher or lower populations than most commercial orchards in the area, resulting in averages that are sometimes skewed from what is typical. The only way to have an accurate assessment of an individual orchard’s populations is to set up traps in that orchard.

| About degree-day models: The degree day (DD) models predict adult emergence and egg hatch of each generation. They do not predict the intensity of populations, which can be assessed by using pheromone traps. Hence, the models should be used to help gauge the time period when control is most likely needed, and pheromone traps provide information on the need for and frequency of insecticide applications. For full details, read “IPM Practices for Selected Pests” in the Orchard Management Guide. |
