Spraying plants to protect against pests.

Apples are sprayed with pesticides.

Harmful substances accumulate in the fruits.

The ecological balance in the garden is disturbed.

Harmful and useful insects are dying.

Samples of chemicals for processing plants.

Apple fruit moth.

Bunch leaflet.

The cluster leaflet overwinters under the lagging bark of the vine in the pupal stage.

When the leaves bloom, butterflies appear.

At the beginning of the flowering of the vine, the butterflies mate and lay eggs.

Pupates in spring.

By the end of flowering, a butterfly appears.

And again the process repeats: mating, laying eggs.

After 10 days, larvae appear.

If there are so many larvae that they can damage more than 2% of the fruits, treatment should be carried out immediately.

This is the most vulnerable stage of all pests.

You can find out how many larvae there will be by the butterflies.

The butterfly lures males with a specific smell - a pheromone.

This is the basis for the action of pheromone traps.

The trap is in the frame.

Scientists are assembling a trap.

Ready-made traps.

Traps are hung out in the garden one by one for 5-6ga.

The trap is hung not lower than the middle of the crown, on the western side and so that the trap is protected from direct sunlight.

Butterflies fly near glue traps.

Butterflies are recorded at least once a week throughout the season.

Traps where the adhesive surface is contaminated are replaced.

The results of each inspection are recorded in the registration card of the site.

According to the number of butterflies caught, a decision is made on the processing of the site.

In the vineyards, traps are hung out when three leaves appear on the vine.

Before the start of the mass summer, traps are inspected daily.

If less than 100 butterflies are trapped overnight, they are examined once every 5 days.

The decision on the processing of the site is made for each separately.

With the help of traps, it is possible to determine the time of the appearance of pests and the number of its most vulnerable stage.

This allows you to increase the effectiveness of protective measures.
