Abstract

The experiment on codling moth (Cydia pomonella) control using mating disruption technique was conducted in apple orchard with hail nets during 2014 growing season. The efficacy of three commercial pheromone preparations: Isomate C/OFM, and combination Isomate C TT + Isomate OFM rosso FLEX, in comparison to standard pesticides program (chlorpyriphos, acetamiprid, chlorantraniliprole, methoxyfenzoide, thiacloprid and emamectin), was evaluated on the base of number of moths caught in pheromone traps and percentage of damaged fruits. Mating disruption method proved to be very effective if applied to parts of the orchard covered by the network against hail. Between dispenser Isomate C/OFM and combination Isomate C TT + Isomate OFM rosso FLEX there was no difference in the efficacy on codling moth (damage on apple fruits were less than 0.5 %). Compared to the standard chemical control, the parts of the experiment using Isomate mating disruption technique is spent less 4-6 applications of insecticides. This method is acceptable for an integrated and organic apple production.
