Wormy apples from cooling mote
The codling moth causes wormy apples in Virginia with two broods each year. Larvae overwinter under bark and in debris, emerging after petals fall to infest leaves and fruit. Apply lead arsenate when petals are three fourths fallen and calyx open, then a second spray two to three weeks later. The second brood is treated about nine weeks after petals fall, often with Bordeaux mixture.
