Oriental fruit moth

Oriental fruit moth (OFM) is a serious pest of economic importance to commerical ochards of peaches, nectarines and apricots. It frequently migrates to pome fruit ochards in the late season, where it can cause substantial fruit damage before harvest. Recent studies confirmed that OFM is also able to complete its entire life cycle on alternative hosts such as apple, cherry, plum, and quinces.

First and second generation larvae bore into tips of fruit trees causing dieback, distortion and wilting of shoots. In response to the hardening shoots, fruit feeding increases dramatically in subsequent generations.
