“OekoapfelForward”: New strategies for codling moth resistance management and fungicide reduction in organic apple production
Nearly 20 years of monitoring revealed progressing resistance of Cydia pomonella (codling moth) field populations towards Cydia pomonella granulovirus (CpGV) products in organic pome fruit production. Hence, there is urgent need to optimize strategies for the CpGV application to further reduce the pressure for resistance development. In the recently started joint project, “OekoapfelForward”, we evaluate newly discovered virus isolates on resistant C. pomonella strains and their robustness towards changing weather patterns due to climate change. This contribution provides an overview of the main objectives in “OekoapfelForward” to improve resistance management and pesticide reduction for organic pome fruit production.
