Codling moth degree-day accumulations range from about 630 in Henderson County to approximately 960 DD in Cleveland County. At this stage codling moth remains a potential threat in Henderson County and locations with a similar or higher elevation (≥ 2000 ft), while in lower elevations (Cleveland/Lincoln Co) first generation flight is nearly complete. 

In locations where tufted apple bud moth is a concern, the window of opportunity for control will be nearing an end in lower elevations, while in orchards above 2000 ft the window will remain open for at least 7 to 10 days.
