Pest control of fruit-eating moths of pistachio trees
Chemical control:

Pheromone use:
Two to three female insects can be housed in a glass or plastic container with holes at both ends covered with a mesh cloth. Then he hung a container containing female butterflies at a height of 5 to 10 cm in a tray containing water and a few drops of volcanic oil. In this method, the male butterflies are attracted to the odor secreted by the female butterflies and fall into the tray containing water and disappear.
