Abstract

Monitoring the population dynamics of harmful moths using synthetic sex attractants in Leningrad Region was carried out in the fruit experimental orchard of St. Petersburg Agrarian University (Pushkin) and small private orchards of Pushkin district. As a result of the analysis of many years temperature characteristics of vegetation seasons in the Leningrad Region and calculation of the sums of effective temperatures, it has been found that the codling moth had high numbers and developed in two full generations in 1999, 2002, 2006, 2013 and 2018. The complex of phytophagous leaf rollers as a whole can cause sometimes significant harm to both industrial orchards and homestead lands, because the economic threshold of harmfulness by yield losses is often achieved, when plants are damaged by more than one pest species, each of which causing only weak harm. As a general conclusion, the complex of orchard leaf rollers is a dynamic system. Their development and numbers ratio is influenced by weather conditions of a year and climate changes in general.

Highlights

Pheromone monitoring is the most important element of the modern integrated system of fruit crop protection from the complex of moths in different natural and climatic conditions [1, 2]
Our main task was to study the development of the northern population of main pest of pome crops, the codling moth, in modern conditions of climate change in north-west Russia
Our observations in Pushkin have revealed appearance of caterpillars and even moths of a new summer generation in August during the warm years between 1997 and 2019. Their offspring may completely or partially die, but this fact itself suggests that the share of first-generation caterpillars finishing development has increased significantly, and the increased wintering reserve of the pest can cause more serious harm season
