It remained a minor pest until the mid-1940s, when it became a major concern to apple growers in New York. Although RBLR is still a potentially serious pest of apples, it has not been considered a major problem since the introduction of azinphosmethyl and similar organophosphate insecticides in the 1960s. At present, it is generally controlled by sprays for other pests.en-USAgricultural IPMFruitsTree FruitApplesApricotsCherriesPeaches & NectarinesPlumsfact sheet
