Biology of the pest
Pest: European grapevine moth
Scientific name: Lobesia botrana
Infests:  grapevines, but is polyphagous and can infest other host plants

Main symptoms of infestation:   

• Flowers and fruits spun together by the webs of larvae
• Feeding damage to fruits and webs on fallen grapes
• Sour rot can develop during wet weather

Main flight periods of the first generation adults: April/early May
Main flight periods of the second generation adults: June/July
Main flight periods of the second generation adults: from August

Use:
Assemble traps and hang them in the infested vineyard.
They can be hung directly from trellis wires. If this is not possible, the trap can also be hung from a suitably high post driven into the ground.
Make sure the trap entrances are not blocked by tendrils and leaves.

Each trap should be checked at regular intervals of 2 - 3 days. Each time a trap is checked, the insects sticking to the adhesive base should be removed using a suitable tool (e.g. twig or wooden scraper) to ensure that the full glue surface is revealed. If the base becomes very soiled, replace it or spray with a liquid glue, such as Soveurode special glue.

Replace the attractant capsule and the adhesive base if necessary roughly every 4 - 6 weeks.

Traps should be put in place before the flight phase of the adults.
