Summary: The overall objective of this two year project was to develop and assess the use of a combination lure to monitor both codling moth and leafrollers within a single trap. Studies were conducted with both Pandemis and oblique banded leafrollers in apple and pear. The first specific objective was to use a standard lure loaded with the sex pheromone of codling moth in combination with a host plant volatile and a second lure loaded with acetic acid. We tested a number of potential host plant volatile attractants for their relative contribution to the combination lure. The final specific objective was to assess the correlation of leafroller adult captures in traps baited with the most effective multi-species lure with local infestations of leafrollers.
