Codling moth

Abstract

Control of codling moth with modern insecticides, although successful, depends mainly on broad‐spectrum chemicals that kill many natural enemies which could otherwise contribute to the control of codling moth and other pests, notably the fruit tree red spider mite. Research on populations of codling moth at Long Ashton contributed information needed to develop integrated control, utilising predators, parasites and pathogenic organisms in combination with selective pesticides
