Fruit Crop Insect Scouting

Continue taking control measures to protect stone and pome fruit from plum curculio. Adults leave either round holes or crescent shaped scars on the fruit surface where they have either fed or laid eggs. The adult beetle is a fairly small weevil. If you see them on fruit or on branches, control measures may be necessary.
