Current Status of the Apple Fruit Eater (Laspeyresia Pomonella l.)
Population in the Agrocenosis
Abstract
This article presents research conducted in 2023–2024 on the distribution, bioecological characteristics and ecological indicators of the population of the Codling Moth (Cydia pomonella) in apple orchards located in the Guba region. During the development periods of different generations of the pest, orchard trees were examined using route-based observation methods and the infestation rate was determined. The biological characteristics of the codling moth were studied not only under open field conditions, but also clarified through observations of individuals reared in special entomological gardens (artificial orchard environments created for research purposes).
The beginning and end of pupation, pupation dynamics and the period of mass pupation were determined using belts (bands) attached to tree trunks. The overlapping periods of larval stages in the development of different generations were identified based on the dynamics of larval development. The fecundity of the butterflies and the duration of individual developmental stages were assessed using standard entomological methods.
