deserves more attention. Trap positioning may Acknowledgments 



need to be adjusted toward harvest. We plan to 



conduct studies on the effect of fruit density on 



trap efficiency, an interfering factor that could 



affect management practices especially when 



early maturing cultivars of red apples are 



involved. 



We are grateful to Wayne Rice for allowing us 

 to use his orchard. We thank Stephen Lavallee, 

 Susan Nixson and Amy Wiebe for technical 

 assistance. This work was funded by USDA 

 CSRS NRI Grant 95-37313-1890.
