Codling Moth, Cydia Pomonella Pheromone Lure Cm-Da Combo

Description

The codling moth is an important pest of apples worldwide. Other hosts include pear, quince, hawthorn, crab apple and walnut. Codling moth adults fly into orchards from nearby abandoned orchards, or from hosts in surrounding woodlots (apple, quince, hawthorn, and crab apple). In some areas, adults will overwinter in orchards.

CM-DA combo is the only monitoring system for male and female codling moths. These lures are effective for more than 2 months.

Pheromone traps can be used to monitor adult activity and will help determine the timing of insecticide application. The pheromone trap consists of a lure and diamond trap. These are ordered separately.
