European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana Part II: Prevention and management
Abstract
Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermuller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), commonly known as the European grape- vine moth (EGVM), is a primary pest of vineyards. This article provides an updated review of its monitoring, model- ling, and management tools. EGVM management strategies analysed here include insecticide-based control, insecticide resistance, side-effects (particularly those caused by the exposure to sublethal doses of pesticides), cultural control, sterile insect technique, pheromone-mediated control strategies (with special reference to pheromone-based mating disruption), biological control, and area-wide control programs. Lastly, we outline significant challenges for future EGVM research and sustainable control implementation.
