 Our pressure here in Zone 5 is very heavy.  
I usually leave 1 tree untreated with anything on our most wooded orchard edge 
asa a control.  Each season almost every apple has ovipositioning on 
it.  I set a trap in hte tree using a lure of plum essence and pheremones 
to attract them to that tree and have trapped PC each season in it as 
well.  When I trap the first PC, usually prior to any ovipositioning since 
the females are ready to lay eggs prior to fruit set, I know I have them 
and will need to get some protection on the new fruit pronto.  I do hold 
out to coincide with my first CM spray. 
A new video was jsut posted to the Growing 
Produce web site on Optimizing 
Insecticide Performance To Control Plum Curculio at http://www.growingproduce.com/gptv/?cid=2 .  It is the best I have seen in describing the various 
products for PC control.
