Apple blossom weevil

What is apple blossom weevil? The apple blossom weevil (Anthonomus pomorum) is an important early-season pest of apple orchards. Adult weevils emerge before flowering and feed on developing buds before laying eggs inside unopened flower buds. The larvae develop within the buds, preventing blossoms from opening and reducing fruit set. Heavy infestations can significantly impact yield, particularly in orchards with high pest pressure.

Pear blossom weevil

What is pear blossom weevil? The pear blossom weevil (Anthonomus piri) is a destructive pest of pear orchards. Adult weevils emerge from summer dormancy in autumn to lay eggs inside developing flower buds. The larvae feed within the buds over the winter and spring, preventing blossoms from opening and reducing fruit sets. Heavy infestations can significantly affect yield, particularly in orchards with high pest pressure. Learn more Damage symptoms

Green apple aphid

What is green apple aphid? The green apple aphid (Aphis pomi) is a common aphid species in apple orchards. Both nymphs and adults feed on young leaves and shoots, reducing tree vigor and affecting shoot development. While moderate infestations (<5% leaf curling, <10% shoots infested) are often tolerated by healthy, mature trees, high populations can slow vegetative growth, contaminate fruit with honeydew, and reduce overall orchard performance,

Pear aphid

What is pear aphid? The pear aphid (Dysaphis pyri) is a highly damaging pest of pear orchards. Both nymphs and adults feed on developing foliage, causing leaves to curl and distort while reducing tree vigor. Heavy infestations can affect shoot development, trigger premature leaf fall, and compromise overall orchard productivity. Aphids also excrete honeydew, creating a sticky layer on leaves and fruit which promotes the growth of sooty mold. Pear

Thrips parvispinus

About Tobacco thrips Thrips parvispinus , also known as tobacco thrips, is an insect native to tropical Asia and is widely distributed from East Asia, Northern Australia, and the Solomon Islands. In recent years, this thrips species has expanded its presence to northern China, India, and other Asian countries, as well as several African nations. In Europe, Thrips parvispinus was first detected in Greece in 1998 as a pest on ornamental crops, later

Beetles

Biological control of beetles Beetles can cause serious damage in many greenhouse and field crops by feeding on leaves, roots, or fruits, leading to reduced growth and yield loss. Effective beetle control is essential to maintain healthy and productive crops. Biological control of beetles combines preventive monitoring with targeted interventions using natural solutions: Beneficial nematodes Insect traps Pheromone traps Beneficial nematodes actively

Bugs

Biological control of bugs Bugs can cause extensive damage to greenhouse and field crops by feeding on plant tissues and fruits, leading to deformation, discoloration, and yield loss. Effective bug control is key to maintaining healthy, high-quality crops. Biological control of bugs combines targeted monitoring and natural enemies that reduce pest pressure and prevent outbreaks: Beneficial nematodes Parasitic wasps Pheromone traps Sticky traps These
