The timing for each species is approximate and represents historical averages for Sparta, Michigan, maintained by Michigan State University (MSU) Enviroweather.

The creation of this resource was led by Lindsay Brown and Erin Lauwers, integrated pest management educators with MSU Extension, and Jackie Perkins, tree fruit integrator for the MSU Department of Entomology. Additional contributions and editorial reviews were provided by Carlos Garcia-Salazar, George Sundin and Julianna Wilson of MSU. Much of the information provided in this resource was informed by the "Apple Pest Guide," which was revised in 2018 by Wilson. Translation services were provided by Anamaría Gómez-Rodas of MSU Extension.

Printed and laminated copies of this resource will be available at 2024-2025 MSU Extension winter meetings beginning with the Great Lakes Expo apple sessions. Contact Lindsay Brown at brow1111@msu.edu for more information.
