| Latin Name | Grapholita molesta |
| Common Name | Oriental fruit moth；OFM |
| Biology | Adult moths are active at night and are phototactic, laying eggs on new shoots or leaves of fruit trees such as peach and pear. The larvae first bore into new shoots, causing them to wither, then transfer to bore into fruits; they tunnel through the fruits, with frass exuding from bore holes. They produce 4-5 generations per year, overwintering as mature larvae in bark crevices or soil. |
| Damage | This pest primarily damages fruit trees including pear, peach, apple, and apricot, often causing "peach shoot withering and pear fruit damage". |
| Distribution Regions | Temperate fruit-growing regions |
| Monitoring | Pheromone lures mimic natural sex pheromones to attract male insects into specialized traps for population monitoring and suppression. As a core IPM component, monitoring enables early risk detection and targeted control. Mass trapping reduces mating opportunities to curb offspring populations. Protocols: ●Use only with matched traps. ●15-45 traps/hectare,replace/replenish every 4-6 weeks. ●Wear gloves or wash hands with detergent when switching lure types. ●Refer to trap-specific hanging instructions. |
| Recommended Traps | Delta Trap, Wing Trap,Mating Disruption Dispenser |
