2023 Fire Blight
Apple Treasure Valley, Treasure Valley - Idaho
Fire Blight
Posted on: May 3, 2023 by Ruth Givens
Fire blight is a bacterial plant disease that causes infections through open flowers on apple and pear (Rosaceae family). Infections occur during warm, wet days. A model is used to predict fire blight risk.
Based on the model, there is a very high potential for infection on open blossoms April 27 – early June. Fire blight is a disease that needs moisture (rain, dew) to cause infection. Higher upcoming temperatures increase the chance for infection with precipitation or dew moisture. Protect the blossoms of young trees and trees that had fire blight last year.
Monitor trees closely starting two weeks after bloom and prune out new infections immediately during dry conditions.
Refer to publications below for additional information for your application.

Apple Treasure Valley
Posted on: May 21, 2018 by Dian Roberson
Coddling Moth has been detected in traps so it is time to take action! This is a small moth that lays eggs on the blossom end of Apple and Pear fruit. The larvae them bore into and ruin your fruit. Check out the publications and links below to help you choose the best control for your landscape.

Fire Blight Confirmed
Apple All Locations
Erwinia Amylavora
Posted on: May 18, 2018 by Rich Guggenheim
Fire Blight has been confirmed in Canyon County. This bacterial infection can attack anything in the rose family (Rosaceae). It is especially destructive to apples (Malus spp.), pears (Pyrus spp.), and crabapples (Malus spp.). There is no cure for fire blight. Prevention is the best solution. Purchase resistant varieties, minimize rapid growth and succulent tissue, prune out blighted twigs and cankered branches. Check out the publications and websites below for more information.

Environmental Conditions Favor Fire Blight Development
Apple All Locations
Erwinia amylovora.
Posted on: April 6, 2018 by Rich Guggenheim
Current environmental conditions favor the development of Fire Blight in apple and related family of trees such as pyracantha, hawthorn, and cotoneaster. This disease does not affect stone fruit such as cherries, plum, apricot, or peach.
Management is best controlled by puning out diseased plant parts. Bordeaux mixture, Streptomycin, and copper sprays are also used to manage this bacterial disease.

Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella)
Apple All Locations
Lepidoptera: Tortricidae
Posted on: May 3, 2017 by Rich Guggenheim
Codling moth has been trapped in Sunny slope orchards.
To successfully control codling moth in fruit trees, larvae must
be prevented from entering fruit. Controls must be applied
at a specific time. Once the eggs hatch and larvae enter the fruit, control
measures are ineffective.
Management includes a rigorous and routine schedule of spray insecticides, both organic and traditional, every 10 to 14 days depending on label instructions.

Coddling Moth
Apple All Locations
Posted on: May 6, 2002 by Tim Davis
The biofix date for the Coddling Moth has been set for April 29. Using this date on the degree-day calculator made available on the Oregon State Universities website the first hatch will not occur until May 25. This date is later than previous years as we have had a cool spring. Another alert will be posted 7-10 days before the predicted hatch.
