Mechanisms mediating false codling moth, <scp><i>Thaumatotibia leucotreta</i></scp> (lepidoptera: Tortricidae), mating disruption using point‐source pheromone dispensers
The shift to non-competitive disruption, which resulted in 99% disruption, was achieved at a dosage of 800 dispensers/ha uniformly distributed and remained effective with as few as 36 pheromone release sites per ha. Mating disruption is, therefore, highly recommended to form part of the current integrated pest management program for FCM. © 2025 The Author(s).
