Control Measures for Coddling Moth Second Brood
The second brood of the coddling moth is becoming active and will damage the remaining apples unless properly sprayed. For light crops, worms ruin fruit more easily without timely spraying. Apply 12 pounds of arsenate of lead and ebonvallon lime sulfur to 50 gallons of water, thoroughly wetting but not drenching to avoid burning.
