Summary: The principal objective of this project was to demonstrate control of damage to apples by the codling moth in commercial apple orchard blocks using a kairomone lure in a Delta trap. The approach or research goal was to trap out enough female moths to prevent most oviposition and thus to prevent most attacks to the fruit.
