Abstract

Codling moth is being reported in other countries of the world. It is a destructive and direct pest on apples and other fruit crops. The pathway for the occurrence of codling moth in the isolated belt of Baramulla is a cause of concern, and there is a need to contain this insect pest in other fruit-growing areas of Kashmir Valley. Here, we report a codling moth attacking apple and pear plants in the incursion belt.The fruit damage on apple in the belt was recorded more than 10% on delicious varieties. The codling moth was monitored and identified by using species-specific sex pheromone. The morphological and molecular tools were used to identify the codling moth.
