SYMPTOMS
In pomegranate, infestation by Thaumatotibia leucotreta can cause devastating symptoms on fruits. The larvae of this pest feed on the pomegranate pulp, creating galleries and tunnels inside the fruit. This leads to premature decay of the fruit, which becomes soft, wrinkled and discolored. Furthermore, the presence of larval excrement on the surface of the fruit is another revealing sign of infestation by this false codling moth.
