Apple Moth
Cydia pomonella
This description was machine-translated.
How to spot it
You are dealing with the apple moth, the cause of the classic worm-stung apples: The nocturnal moth lays eggs on young fruit from May, the hatched larva bores into the core and leaves a feces-filled tunnel. Infested fruit ripen early and fall. A second generation can occur in warm summer in August.
Prevention
You hang pheromone traps for flight monitoring from early May and place corrugated cardboard trap belts around the trunk, into which the larvae crawl to pupate, remove and dispose of them in autumn. You collect fallen fruit immediately, encourage tits with nest boxes, and apply the granulovirus preparation (Cydia-pomonella-Granulovirus) after pheromone warning in case of heavy infestation.
