Stone Fruit Insect and Mite Pests and Recommended Insecticides and Miticides

Recommendations are based on chemical registrations as of December 2017.

To avoid chemical resistance, alternate chemicals by IRAC code group. (see also page 204 in the 2018-2019 Penn State Tree Fruit Production Guide).

Please refer to product labels and the Penn State Extension Tree Fruit Production Guidefor details on chemical use.

Pest control rating system when used at recommended rates: 1 = excellent, 2 = good, 3 = fair, 4 = poor, -- = not rated for this insect or mite
BMSB = brown marmorated stink bug; ERM = European red mite; GPA = green peach aphid; JB = Japanese beetle; LPTB = lesser peachtree borer; LS = lecanium scale; LR = leafrollers; OFM = Oriental fruit moth; PC = plum curculio; PT = pear thrips; PTB = peachtree borer; SB = native stink bugs; SJS = San Jose scale; TPB = tarnished plant bug; TSM = twospotted spider mite; WFT= western flower thrips
a. Uppercase names are trade names; lowercase names are common names for products with more than one trade name.
b. Avaunt will not provide control of obliquebanded leafroller.
