Collapse ▲
Based on degree-day accumulations, the codling moth degree-day (DD) model predicts that second generation adult emergence is about 30% and 60% complete in Henderson County (1533 DD) and Cleveland County (1890 DD). Unless captures in pheromone traps consistently average more than 5 moths/week, it is unlikely that more than two insecticide applications will be necessary against the second generation. If trap captures remain consistently low, one application may suffice.
Orchards treated with mating disruption generally do not require insecticide treatments for the second generation, although pheromone trapping is recommended to account for the unexpected.
First generation brown marmorated stink bug adults are predicted to begin emerging this week in lower elevation orchards such as Cleveland County, where 750 DD is predicted to occur on Saturday. If concerned about damage from this pest, next week would be optimum timing for a pyrethroid application. Populations have generally been low thus far, but that is not always a good predictor of the intensity of first generation adult populations. In Henderson County where DD accumulations have only reached 540, it’ll be several more weeks before adult emergence begins.
