Codling Moth
Codling moth (Cydia pomonella; Order Lepidoptera, Family Tortricidae) is the most serious pest of apple and pear worldwide. In most of Utah, fruit must be protected season-long to harvest a quality crop. Insecticides are the main control tactic, with both organic and conventional options available. For commercial orchards with more than 10 acres of contiguous apple and/or pear trees, mating disruption, a certified organic practice, can greatly reduce codling moth populations to allow reduced insecticide use.
