In this report:

Blueberry

Apple
Brown Marmorated Stink Bug:
Most of the BMSB that are being captured are adults. Since many crops have already been harvested, apples, particularly late season apples are being exposed to the full onslaught of adult BMSB movement. Be particularly aware of fruit bordering soybeans and woodlands. Late season injury can come on fast, and some injury is not apparent until several weeks after picking.

Keep fresh insecticide applied to the trees, particularly on border rows and end trees. Effective insecticides along with the (PHI) include: Baythroid (7), Belay (7), Danitol (14), Leverage (7), Mustang (14), Brigade/Bifenture (14) (section 18), and Scorpion/Venom (3) (section 18). Those listed in bold are some of the best materials.
