Stage of Bud Development: Petal Fall

Apple Scab: We are entering the final phase of the primary scab season which runs from 700DD - 900DD (Base 32F)from Green Tip. This is still an important phase -- do not let your guard down. Also, now is the time to regularly monitor your orchard to check for lesions.

 Plum Curculio: The warm weather predicted over the next few days should bring out the PC if they are not already in your orchard.

 Codling Moth: We have captured our first CM in pheromone traps. A DD model is available to help time applications if this pest is a problem in your orchard.
