| Latin Name | Adoxophyes orana |
| Common Name | Summer fruit tortrix |
| Biology | Adult moths are active at night and are phototactic, laying eggs on the undersides of tea leaves. Larvae roll leaves to feed, causing damage within leaf shelters and affecting tea quality and yield. They produce 4-5 generations per year, overwintering as larvae in mid-lower tea leaves or bark crevices. |
| Damage | This pest primarily damages tea plants but may also damage apple and 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 |
