“…To the best of my knowledge, pheromone dispensers are still not registered in India but are used to control various insect pests in the world to their management [40] Therefore, it is important to include pheromone dispensers in India for the management of the codling moth and other insect pests [25] to have safe fruit production without pesticide residues, less fruit damage, safe to the environment and other health issues. Also, this paper may act as a base for policymakers, political advisors on horticulture, researchers, organic growers, and agricultural advisors/ commentators of India to use non-chemical management for codling moth [49] and other important pests of India [41] for sustainable and safe agriculture in Ladakh. Pheromone dispenser technology has a huge potential for commercial marketing in India.…”

The codling moth is a threat to the apple industries in India. Currently, no solutions are available for the management of codling moth in Ladakh. Therefore, all fresh fruits from Ladakh are still banned due to quarantine regulations. Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh are the three main apple producing states of India, both in quality and quantity. The ban on all fresh fruits from Ladakh directly affects the economy of rural populations. These fruits are sold in all the local markets of Kargil and Leh. Apples damaged by the larvae of codling moth are less preferred by inhabitants, tourists, and security forces, a large area of Ladakh is bordered with China and Pakistan. Field demonstration trials revealed significantly less fruit damage in apple orchards in different hamlets of Ladakh using pheromone dispensers, pheromone baited traps, and two applications of insecticides for codling moth management. A demonstration of the use of pheromone and pheromone dispenser technology for area-wide management for high dense populations of the codling moth in Ladakh has revealed successful results in the orchards of the apple growers. Area-wide management of the codling moth in some villages, using dispenser technology has shown promising results. The ban of fresh fruits in Ladakh may not be, therefore, appropriate as management of the codling moth appears to be successful with the use of pheromone dispenser technology. This technology will, surely, boost the apple industry and have a great potential for establishing commercial orchards and quality apples in high altitudes in the second-highest cold arid region of the world.

“…Due to the high harmfulness of C. pomonella L. (more than 70 %), the Government of India imposed restrictions on export of all fresh fruits (apples, apricots, walnuts and other fruits) from Ladakh to other states of the Indian Union in accordance with the law "Destructive insect Pest Act 1914 (II)" [3]. According to V.V.…”

“…In Russian and foreign literature, there is data on effective way of coddling moth` control without negative effect on human health and environment with the use of granulovirus Cydia pomonella (CpGV), a virus with double-chained DNA from the genus Betabaculovirus of the Baculoviridae family. Granulovirus causes systemic infection in coddling moth`s larvae, including the adipose body, tracheal cells, and malpighian tubules, and usually leads to larvae `s death within 7 days after infection [8,9,10]. In Russia in 2022 two granulosa viruses Madex Twin, SK and Carpovirusin, CS were registered on fruit plantations, the efficacy of these products is up to 92-95% [11].…”

The article presents the results of the industrial field trial with pheromones Shin-Etsu® MD STT, D, conducted in 2019-2022 at JSC «Novomikhailovskoe», Tuapse area, Krasnodar region. Twin tubes were hung at every second tree inside the block in the “rosebud” phenophase before flying of the codling moth’s overwintered generation. To track the flying of the phytophage at the experimental site a monitoring pheromone developed for gardens Shin-Etsu® MD STT, D was hung. It was found that in the trial variant more than 14.5 t/ha of harvest in comparison to the control was saved with standard quality of 98.1-98.9%, with costs reduced by 70%.

Background To manage the cabbage butterfly, Pierisbrassicae (L.) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae), it is not wise to use insecticides on leafy vegetables which are eaten mostly fresh. During the past decades, the efforts to manage the pest, through chemical insecticides have raised serious health. Investigations were carried out to isolate naturally occurring GVs (PbGV) as a potent biopesticide against P.brassicae and to explore their efficacy with the application of phagostimulants. Results Among the four naturally occurring isolates obtained from Northwestern Himalayas, Sudhmahadev isolate was found to be the most promising based on virulence and speed of kill against all the instars tested in the laboratory, showing the natural incidence of PbGV infection in field conditions. In concentration and time–response bioassay, all the isolates of P.brassicae Granulosis virus were found high virulent against second instar larvae of cabbage butterfly. Therefore, for enhanced efficacy of PBGV, its combined application with phagostimulants (Lepidiumsativum + Teepol + jaggery) or sticker (Teepol + jaggery), applied in field trials, resulted into greater mortality of larval instars than the single one. Overall, the results indicated that the introduction of a more isolates PBGV strain into populations of P.brassicae could be of vital importance for eco-friendly suppression of this pest globally with the combination of phagostimulants. The application virus alone with the pre-standardized concentration of 1 × 1012 OBs/ha did not reduce the larval population density to the desirable extent in the greenhouse chamber and therefore was not included in field experiments. Overall, the most promising treatments in reducing the larval population of the pest were PbGV + Teepol + B.thuringiensis (93.49 and 91.39%) and PbGV + Teepol + L.sativum (88.79 and 86.97%) over control in both greenhouse and field trials, respectively. Conclusions In this study, the native isolates of PbGV from different target locations to test their efficacy against different instars of P.brassicae were explored. Using native PBGV isolates with phagostimulant combinations played an important role for regulating the pest effectively. These phagostimulants not only protected the OBs from degradation in the presence of sunlight but also increased the speed of killing. The biocontrol potential of PbGV in both laboratory and field conditions indicated that baculoviruses are sustainable alternative to chemical insecticides.
