| Latin Name | Carposina sasakii |
| Common Name | Peach fruit moth |
| Biology | Adult moths are nocturnal, ovipositing on fruit surfaces or within calyx cavities of peach, plum, and similar fruits. Larvae bore into fruits, tunneling through the flesh; infested fruits become frass-packed, prone to premature dropping or rotting—commonly known as "peach fruit borer" (Grapholita molesta). This pest produces 1-2 generations annually, overwintering as mature larvae by spinning cocoons in soil. |
| Damage | This pest primarily damages fruit trees including peach, apple, pear, and plum. |
| Distribution Regions | East Asia |
| 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 |
