Re: Apple-Crop: Apple Maggot

[Jill Kelly]

Thanks Dennis,
     One spray for AM, wow.  We are always at least two and often three.  To 
date Codling Moth has not been an issue for us.  This season I went from 5/27 
until 7/27 with no applications.  It has been an unusual year.  Usually we 
finish up on Plum Curculio about mid-June and then have Apple Maggot around 
mid-late July.


Thanks again,
