We are approaching the end of second generation codling moth in Henderson County and similar elevations, with egg hatch about 65% complete. Unless there is evidence of problems to date (i.e., some fruit damage or high pheromone trap captures), there is a low potential for damage from this point forward. In Cleveland County and similarly low elevations, the second generation has completed development. While third generation activity is not uncommon in lower elevations, the need for insecticidal control is rare unless population pressure has been high, in which case there would be some evidence of damaged fruit at this time.
