DESCRIPTION
WHO CAUSES IT?
Cydia pomonella, commonly known as the codling moth, is an insect belonging to the Tortricidae family. Adults are small, with a wingspan of approximately 18 mm, and have dark gray forewings with lighter wavy lines and a dark brown spot. Females lay their eggs individually on fruits or leaves. The eggs are white and oval in shape, hatching in about 6 to 10 days. The larvae, pinkish white in color with a black head, quickly enter the fruits to feed on the pulp and seeds. The larva goes through five stages before leaving the fruit to pupate in the soil or in the bark of the tree. Pupation occurs in a silk cocoon, and depending on weather conditions, development from pupation to emergence of the adult can take several weeks. Cydia pomonella can have two to three generations per year in warm climates.
SYMPTOMS
In the apple tree, codling moth causes significant damage that affects both the quality and yield of the crop. The larvae pierce the fruits to feed on the seeds and pulp, causing internal damage that reduces the commercial quality of the apples.
- Appearance of small holes on the surface of the apples.
- Presence of excrement and sawdust around the entrance holes.
- Internal damage to the fruits, with tunnels and cavities full of excrement.
- Premature fall of affected fruits.
- Reduction in the commercial value of apples.
- Increased susceptibility to secondary infections due to fungi and bacteria.

- Monitor the crop regularly using pheromone traps to detect the presence of adults.
- Implement biological control through the release of natural enemies such as Trichogramma spp.
- Apply treatments with selective insecticides at critical moments of pest development.
- Maintain good hygiene in the field, eliminating and destroying fallen fruits and pruning remains.
- Use protective nets around trees to prevent oviposition.
- Promote the use of apple tree varieties that are resistant or less susceptible to infestation.
- Carry out a crop rotation to interrupt the life cycle of the pest.
- Apply sexual confusion treatments with pheromones to reduce moth mating.
- Promote a favorable environment for the natural predators of the codling moth by diversifying plants in the field.
- Avoid excessive use of insecticides so as not to affect the pest's natural enemies.
