The codling moth, Cydia pomonella, is the most important pest in pome fruit orchards in Europe, North and South America, South Africa, and Australia (Chapman 1973). The codling moth assumed key pest status where control with broad-spectrum insecticides has reduced the beneficials and created secondary phytophagous mite problems. Mating disruption using sex pheromones could contribute—alone, or together with insect pathogens—to the development of an integrated control system against codling moths, because of its species-specific and environmentally safe action. |
