How to control Adoxophyes orana in organic apple orchards

Integrated pest management for organic apple orchards targeting fruit leaf roller and codling moth

Detail description

Control of Adoxophyes orana and codling moth in organic apple orchards uses Capex granulovirus, Bacillus thuringiensis, pheromone mating disruption with ISOMATE® CLR MAX TT, and conservation of parasitoids via nectar and pollen resources. This integrated approach targets larval feeding in September and October, reducing entry points for fungal infections. Part of the 2023 BIOFRUITNET project by FÖKO, Germany, this one-page guide is available as an English (USA) PDF on Organic Eprints.
