Coronavirus Impact on Apple Pest Recommendations
The coronavirus situation has sidelined our field activities for the timing being, so we are unable to monitor and assess pest activity in the region as we normally do. We are hopeful that we will be able to begin some field activities in the near future. Meanwhile, we do have several insect development models that are quite accurate for the timing of critical insecticide applications. What we are not able to do during this period is estimate pest density. Hence, website recommendations for the near future will be based on model predictions more so than actually captures in the field. Again, we are hopeful that can begin some field activities soon.
