Latin Name | Cydia pyrivora |
Common Name | Pear fruit moth |
Biology | Adult moths are active at night and lay eggs on pear fruit surfaces. The larvae bore into pear fruits, forming tunnels within the fruits, with frass accumulating around bore holes; infested fruits tend to drop or rot. They produce 1-2 generations per year, overwintering as mature larvae in bark crevices or soil. |
Damage | This pest primarily damages pear trees. |
Distribution Regions | Temperate fruit-growing regions |
Monitoring | Pheromone lures mimic natural sex pheromones to attract male insects into specialized traps for population monitoring and suppression. As a core IPM component, monitoring enables early risk detection and targeted control. Mass trapping reduces mating opportunities to curb offspring populations. Protocols: ●Use only with matched traps. ●15-45 traps/hectare,replace/replenish every 4-6 weeks. ●Wear gloves or wash hands with detergent when switching lure types. ●Refer to trap-specific hanging instructions. |
Recommended Traps | Delta Trap, Wing Trap |
