We have now reached sustained trap catch in Columbia County.
Last week Natasha Field (ENYCHP) trapped a single male swd in a sweet cherry planting. This week she trapped an additional 1 male and 2 females in the same block, also in a Scentry jar drowning trap. Sweet cherries are beginning to blush, and fruit is likely to be susceptible.
Cherry growers in Columbia County should begin their spray program now, if they have not already.
