Key insect pest populations, including codling moth and apple maggot, continue to decline. With pest pressure at low levels, the last Apple Pest Posting for 2012 was sent out the week of September 17. Sometime in the next several weeks we will send out a summary of insect population trends during the 2012 season.
This will be the website's last insect update for 2012. Check back with us again in March 2013!
