Codling moth (Cydia pomonella) control in organic apple orchards

Mating disruption and physical barriers for codling moth control in organic apple orchards

Detail description

Organic apple growers combat codling moth (Cydia pomonella) using mating disruption and physical barriers. The pest, which can have up to three generations annually in warm climates, also affects other crops. This video details effective control methods within the BIOFRUITNET project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme. Additional resources are available through the Organic Farm Knowledge platform.
