Abstract
Studies in San Benito County apricot orchards showed that fruittree leaf roller caused most surface damage, and peach twig borer was responsible for most interior fruit damage. The preferred spray timing for all fruit-feeding lepidopterous pests except orange tortrix was at the petal-fall stage.
