WHO CAUSES IT?
Palpita unionalis is a moth also known as the olive glyphodes or jasmine moth. The life cycle of the pathogen begins with the laying of eggs on olive leaves, especially on the terminal branches. The larvae develop inside the leaves, feeding on them. As they grow, the larvae can weave a kind of shelter with silk and leaf remains, where they continue their development until they become pupae. After the pupal stage, they emerge as adult moths.
SYMPTOMS
Glyphodes causes damage to the leaves and terminal branches of the olive tree. The larvae feed on the leaves, causing defoliation and, in severe cases, can compromise the growth and productivity of the tree.
• Partial or total defoliation of terminal branches.
• Damage to the leaves, especially the terminals.
• Presence of silk structures woven by the larvae.
• Delay in the growth of the olive tree.
• Loss of vigor and productivity.
