The codling moth is a lepidopteran (butterfly) whose larva (worm) penetrates the inside of the fruit (apples, pears, or walnuts) on which it feeds, developing and causing serious damage.
1st generation: Spring, from May to the end of June. It lays eggs on leaves, branches, and flowers.
2nd generation: Summer, from July to mid-August. It lays eggs on healthy fruit, where the larva penetrates to the seeds.
In southern Italy, a 3rd generation may occur.
Once it has reached the end of its development, the larva leaves the fruit. It spends the autumn and winter inside a cocoon buried in the soil or hidden in the roughness of the trunk (rest period). The following spring, the larvae pupate.
A 100% ecological method, perfectly effective and respectful of crops and the soil.
Pheromones are volatile substances generally secreted by female insects. These play a role in recognizing and sexually attracting males, who can spot them even from several kilometers away.
Each species emits a specific pheromone. This allows for highly precise and effective control of each type of pest.
Each type of pest has its own specific pheromone.
Treatment consists of trapping the male insect by mimicking the pheromone emitted by the female to prevent mating and thus egg-laying.
