Spray schedule for coddling moths #872670

Asked June 11, 2024, 5:08 PM EDT

Hi. I receive your happy apples emails. Thanks. This year I am alternating spinosad and neem oil for the coddling moth on my apple tree. I did the first application of spinosad yesterday. How often should I spray moving forward as I believe there are multiple generations of the months each year. Thanks for your help!

Hi,  You will need to read the label for the specific product you purchased as it can very.  It should list how often you can reapply and you can get into the habit of alternating the two products if the reapplication rate is similar.  You should continue to apply through the season, as it is the second generation of moth that can cause the most damage.
