Volume 57 Number 17 Date 08/09/2012 SPOTTED TENTIFORM LEAFMINER - Pheromone trap counts as high as 1,287 moths during the last reporting period signal that the third flight has likely peaked in some southern orchards. Central and northern locations can expect the peak to occur in 1-2 weeks. JAPANESE BEETLE - Spot treatment of individual trees should be considered for those orchards that continue to experience high numbers of beetles. This pest is still very active and abundant as far north as Chippewa County. CODLING MOTH - Counts remain comparatively high in Wisconsin apple orchards. Economic counts of five or more moths per trap were reported this week from 10 of 20 sites, with a high count of 19 per trap registered at Chippewa Falls. The second flight, which began during the first week of July, has generally been smaller than the first. --Krista Hamilton, DATCP Entomologist
