Cool Weather Delays Emergence of Cooling Moth
The hatch of the first brood of the cooling moth is stretched over three to four weeks due to cool weather. Three sprays are advised for the first brood worms, with timing for second and third cover sprays this week and ten days later. Lead arsenate is recommended for the moth, with lime sulfur or Bordeaux sprays as weather dictates. Vineyards should watch for grape root worm and spray promptly. Crop prospects are modest, apples scarce, and future costs loom if worms gain ground.
