Effects of chlorantraniliprole on eggs and larvae of <i>Lobesia botrana</i> (Denis &amp; Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Abstract

Chlorantraniliprole can be considered as a useful tool for L. botrana control, providing a new standard in efficacy and an extremely good residual control. The combined effects against eggs and larvae of grapevine moth should contribute to its efficacy in the field. The new mode of action of chlorantraniliprole and its safety to beneficials and non-target organisms would be extremely useful in IPM and for managing resistance to insecticides.
