codling moth
Codling moth caterpillar larvae damage fruit such as apples, pears, stone fruit and walnuts.
HOW TO CONTROL CODLING MOTH
To get rid of codling moth follow these steps:
Most apple cultivars are attractive to codling moth and so need regular protection to prevent fruit damage. To protect apples, pears and other pip-fruit apply Kiwicare SUPER SPECTRUM or CARBARYL INSECT CONTROL to kill codling moth. Sprays should be applied when a significant number of codling moths are active in the tree.
Affected fruit still on trees should be removed and destroyed. Also remove and destroy affected windfall fruits. Althought most caterpillars will have left the fruit before fall some may still harbour the pest.
Trapping to monitor codling moths allows spray application to be more effectively timed.
About
Codling moth adults are grey with light grey and pale brown stripes on their wings. Females lay eggs on fruit or leaves and the black-headed yellow caterpillars eat into the fruit immediately upon hatching. Each larva burrows into the fruit, feeds on the fruit pulp and seeds for approximately three weeks before exiting to overwinter and pupate elsewhere.
Visible damage occurs to fruit when the young codling moth caterpillars burrow through the skin. In apples they can consume the seeds and much of the core. Codling moth are prone to attack apples, pears, stone fruit and walnuts.
Warmer areas of New Zealand usually have two generations of codling moth each year, and cooler areas just one. They usually appear October through to February.
