About Legacy TFREC Websites
Many legacy TFREC websites were recently retired. This was due to a combination of needing to terminate an old server and attempting to remove/update/relocate old content. Much of that old content was updated and can be found in a different format on the WSU Tree Fruit Website. Some items will be hosted here as a PDF archive list. Unfortunately, some old content had to be completely retired. We felt that it was best to remove some information that was no longer relevant or accurate and currently had no associated subject expert to update the information. We felt it best to take down that content rather than risk giving out erroneous information. If you have questions about content that is no longer present, feel free to contact the appropriate research program expert listed on the Programs page.
Cautionary note: The PFDs available here may contain links to pages and resources that may no longer exist. Also, any recommendation contained in these PDFs have expired. If you are looking for specific management recommendations please visit the WSU Tree Fruit website or the Crop Protection Guide for Tree Fruit.

This is the legacy Pest Management Transition Handbook. Be advised that this is for general reference only. Most of the management recommendations have been updated and incorporated into the individual pest pages on the WSU Tree Fruit website and in the online Crop Protection Guide for Tree Fruit.
