Enviro-weather was described in detail in our April 25 issue of the Fruit CAT Alert newsletter. MSU has plans to expand the pest models at this site and add additional weather stations. Visit the home page, click on the station nearest you, select “fruit” resources and bookmark the resulting page for future reference. The site offers links to the IPM Resources web for your reference when making pest management decisions.
