Effective Biological Control of Codling Moth in Pome Fruit Orchards
Virus-based Biopesticide Proving Effective Biological Control of Codling Moth in Pome Fruit Orchards
Codling moth (Cydia pomonella)
River Bioscience has developed Codlgran™, an insect pathogenic virus formulation designed to target codling moth larvae before they damage the fruit. When applied, Codlgran™ coats the surface of the fruit, ensuring that newly hatched CM larvae are exposed to the virus. As the larvae attempt to penetrate the fruit, they ingest the virus particles and are effectively killed, preventing infestation and protecting the crop.
