Summary:
Codling moth causing damage in various fruits. The larvae emerged from eggs laid by the codling moth (Cydia Pomonello) on the surface of the fruit cause damage to apples, pears and other pome fruit. The larvae burrow inside and blemish the surface of the fruit which makes it unsellable. The DSS predicts the start of adult codling moth flight, enabling users to undertake targeted monitoring and/or mitigating actions to reduce the risk of damage to the crop.
