Abstrakt: The control of the codling moth (Cydia pomonella) is becoming very difficult due to the increasing resistance of the pest, the change in climatic conditions, and the loss of plant protectant products for its efficient control. Trials of alternative control strategies against this moth were carried out in Austria in 2007. The efficacy of the four mainly used insecticides was tested according to EPPO standards. The total infestation rate reached 75% in the untreated control. All treatments obtained efficacy rates up to 64%. The results showed that more effective management strategies still have to be developed to sufficiently control the codling moth, especially in integrated production. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
