Abstract

The apple bud weevil, a resurgent pest in integrated control orchards, is difficult to observe at the adult stage. Different kinds of trapping have been tested to catch it: the beating method is the best one. The treatment against that pest has to be done preferably in autumn than in spring, in order to preserve useful insects.
