Morphological differences of the reproductive system could be used to predict the optimum Grapholita molesta (Busck) control period

Abstract The oriental fruit moth (OFM), Grapholita molesta (Busck), is one of the dominant fruit-boring pests worldwide. In order to conduct integrated control of OFM effectively, it is important to predict the optimum control period. OFM populations have been monitored either by the number of trapp...
