European Grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana)

About Pest

Larvae are the primary concern regarding this pest. Second generation (July-August) feeds on green berries, penetrated berries and hollowing them out. Third generation (August-September) causes the greatest damage by webbing and feeding inside berries and within bunches, which become contaminated with frass (excrement).

Primary Crops Affected

The European Grapevine moth prefers Grapes.

Mating Disruption Control for the Codling Moth

Kavach LBBT 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 Lobesia botrana. Our product should typically be used before moth flight migration to help deter mating activity.
