* Biofix is based on the capture of moths in pheromone-baited traps deployed in three apple orchards at the Winchester AREC. The annual biofix date set is when one or more moths are captured in each of at least 2 traps over at least 2 consecutive evenings. Biofix date then established as the date on which moths were first captured.
