The research relevance on Codling moth peculiarities is predefined by it being a main threat to apple culture. The sensitivity of apple cultivars that have been planted so far and continue to be planted to this pest diverges in different cultivars. The research aims to determine the main elements of Cydia Pomonella control using sex pheromones and environmentally friendly insecticides. To achieve the goal, an experiment was conducted in the village of Dvoran in the Korcha region on three apple cultivars: Golden Delicious, Star King, and Granny Smith. On the trees of these varieties, traps with sex pheromones were used and environmentally friendly insecticides were utilised. The study found that using sex pheromone traps to monitor Cydia Pomonella is simple and less expensive for apple growers. The Spinosad medicine is the most effective in terms of protection against the pest, the second being Indoxacarb. Golden Delicious and Granny Smith cultivars had the lowest level of pest infestation, while the Star King cultivar was the most affected by Cydia Pomonella. It has also been established that apple fruits do not contain toxic residues, and the ecosystem remains clean. Additionally, the use of sex pheromones can be part of an integrated pest management approach that combines different control methods to sustainably manage pest populations in gardens. The practical significance of the obtained results is that they provide apple growers with a safe and effective method of controlling Cydia pomonella populations in their orchards. In addition, the scientific basis for the use of sex pheromones as a method of pest control can contribute to the implementation of sustainable control methods in apple production

In the district of Korça, apple is one of the main fruit tree crops. It represents 70% of the total number of fruit trees. In recent years, this culture has taken a very wide range, with a large number of cultivars of tradition but also young people who are quite liked by the internal and external market. The new technologies that have begun to apply for apples are the most contemporary and consequently i’ts production has been growing year by year. In addition to that, in apple cultivation technology are been added also problems related to the management of pests and diseases, one of the most important and pest is the coodling moth which has caused and continues to cause considerable damage in the apple culture,causing damage to all seasonal production. Based on this fact, farmers take measures to protect against this pest, but in most cases the treatments are carried out empirically and without the proper effect against the pests. Therefore, by this experiment, some aspects of coodling moth will be studied both with the traditional (direct) method and with the contemporary method of using sexual pheromones for monitorin this pest with the aim of it’s integrated management, to increase the quantity and quality of apple production.
