Growers and industry people may find the following website useful for understanding population fluctuations of light brown apple moth (LBAM). The site, maintained by my UCCE colleagues Neal Murray and Steve Tjosvold, is a compilation of trap data at points across Santa Cruz and north Monterey County, and gives a really good sense of where LBAM populations are:

Particularly striking is the surge in numbers of adults trapped over the past few weeks. Important information to know.
