Abstract
  • The apple maggot (AM), Rhagoletis pomonella, is a threat to the Northwest apple and pear industry. The maggot has been reported on apples, crabapples, quince, pears, cherries, plums, apricots, the fruits of native and domesticated hawthorn, Pyracantha berries, and wild rose hips. To date, apple maggot populations in Oregon seem to infest only apple and hawthorn. The AM is a major pest of apples in the northeast United States, where it requires a rigorous insecticide management program to produce fruit free from maggot injury and contamination.
