Damage Windows

Although the various pests are present during the whole year, each pest has a specific time frame during which it can cause economic damage. Weather conditions, the biology of the pest and the susceptible plant stage all combine to establish a favorable time at which economic damage can occur. These time frames are called "damage windows." As the biology of the pest reaches its damaging stage and the plant reaches a stage vulnerable to attack, the pest can cause economic damage.
