 Codling Moth Research 2003
Populations of codling moth (Cydia pomonella), the prominent apple pest in the Ocheda Orchard, were monitored through the use of pheromone traps.
Codling moth and other apple pest populations were controlled in both conventional and alternative plots via the utilization of pheromone mating disruptors, the release of the parasitoid wasp Trichogramma platneri, and the enhancement of beneficial insect populations through the planting of three varieties of insectary crops.
Codling moth population levels were far below normal population levels and were therefore negligible in number throughout the entire growing season in both the conventional and alternative plots.
