Pheromone trap Reagron Peach Moth (Anarsia lineatella) basic trap

Barack moth (Anarsia lineatella)
A pest that occurs regularly in Hungary, mostly in three generations.

Package contains: 1 roof, 1 adhesive base, 1 dispenser

Food plant:
Apricot, peach, nectarine, almond

Damage:
The caterpillar damages the fading buds and then shoots by chewing from the inside. The larvae of subsequent generations attack the fruit. One caterpillar usually damages one fruit.

Behaviour:
The young larvae overwinter in the bark of the tree. The adult caterpillar pupates inside the damaged shoot or among shrivelled leaves. Depending on the season and the weather, the first generation usually begins to emerge at the end of May. The second generation flies from mid-July and the third swarms at the end of August. The moths lay their eggs in the recesses of leaf veins and on the fruit.

Advice on control:
Control should be started three weeks after the start of swarming or 7-10 days after mass emergence of the larvae. Control is most effective during the period of peak swarming and mass emergence of caterpillars.

Setting of pheromone traps:
Traps should be set in the first half of May. Replace dispensers and adhesive sheets every 6 weeks or so, preferably not near the expected peak of swarming.
Check the traps twice a week. Count and record the number of moths trapped during the period. The data will show the drawing dynamics and determine the time of intervention. If the trap captures few moths even during the empirical swarming peaks, this indicates a low infestation. In such cases, moths can be captured in small gardens by placing a few additional traps and the population can be controlled without spraying, thus sparing our environment.
