Management of Our Key Pest - Codling Moth
Developing a Realistic, Practical Plan to Control Codling Moth on Your Site.

Wenatchee Center, February 20, 2003
Yakima Center, March 13, 2003

The control of codling moth has been highly successful with relatively simple management methods since the mid-1960's, but things have changed! Codling moth damage used to be relatively rare, and most often considered an indication of careless pest management. Over the past couple of years, codling moth damage had become more common and cannot always be traced to simple mistakes. Recent changes in the regulatory environment limiting use of old products, the availability of new products and downturn in orchard economics have all contributed to the new era of codling moth control. Codling moth can be controlled, but not with the same methods and materials used for the past forty years. But what is the best approach to take? This workshop was designed to help you better understand the current codling moth problem, how to determine what is occurring in your orchard, and what to do to limit damage to your apples or pears. Presented below are summaries of the presentations made at these two meetings. Adobe PDF format files:
