Abstract:In order to timely carry out effective control measures against codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), the control effects of mass trapping treatments were compared based on sex pheromone, mating disruption treatment and chemical pesticide treatment through evaluating the catches of male C.pomonella in traps baited with one live virgin female moth, the numbers of full-grown larvae and overwintering larvae on tree trunks, and the number of fruits damaged. The results showed that the damage rate of fruits in mating disruption treatment was not significantly different from that in chemical pesticide treatment, which was lower than 1% during the occurrence of the first-generation larvae, and about 2% during the occurrence of the second-generation larvae. However, when compared with the control (no insecticide was applied in the orchard), mass trapping treatment had little effect on controlling C.pomonella based on sex pheromone.
