  • Bud to Bug: Flower Induction & Insect Development Explained
    Jul 11 2025

    In this episode of Between Two Rows, Erika and Kristy dig into two grower-submitted questions:

    1. What exactly is flower induction and what hormones are involved?
    2. What are the impacts of weather on orchard pest development?

    First, we break down the hormonal and physiological processes behind setting next year's buds. Then we shift gears to the insect world and tackle how temperature influences pest development - including a dive into degree days and why they matter for managing orchard pests.
