Although we do not have a fruit scouting program, we do have a few pheromone traps out near peach and apple orchards in the state and we have found a few adults in traps. Reports from neighboring states indicate that brown marmorated stinkbug adults, egg masses and early stage nymphs can be found in apples and peaches. In general, they feel that populations are still generally low but at higher levels than seen last year at this time. For more information on management in fruit, you will want to consider subscribing to Rutgers Plant Pest Advisory http://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/.
