About Pest
The primary life stage of greatest importance is the larva as they cause two types of damage to fruit: stings and deep entries bored into fruit.
Primary Crops Affected
Codling moth prefers apples. The pest also attacks pears, large-fruited hawthorn and quince in some regions. In USA, the pest has been known to attack prunes and walnut as well.
Mating Disruption Control for the Codling Moth
Kavach CDMO overstimulates males with a sex pheromone to disrupt the mating cycle, deterring males from mating with female moths. To provide the best results we recommend you monitor your populations of Cydia pomonella. Our product should typically be used before moth flight migration to help deter mating activity.
