In elevations greater than about 2000 ft, such as Henderson, Haywood, and Wilkes Counties, this remains a time of relatively low insect activity. In Henderson County, codling moth degree day accumulations are about 940 DD, which coincides with almost 100% emergence of 1st generation adults and 80% of first generation egg hatch — it is highly unlikely that problems arise this late in the generation. The next critical time for codling moth will be about 1400 DD, which is not expected for at least two weeks.
