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,
