Pest Behaviour
The Oriental Fruit Moth (Grapholita molesta) is a lepidopteran that produces five generations a year, from March to October.
It can affect seed fruits grown close to the previous ones, such as apple and pear trees.
Damage is seen on growing shoots. It is necessary to protect plantations in formation. Small attacks in the peduncle area produced by newborn larvae, or larger lesions in any part of the fruit can be observed in the fruits.
The entry points favor the installation of the fungus Monilia sp. that rots the fruit.
