It does this by repairing itself in the crevices of the bark of the stump or in the cracks of the stakes supporting the plant itself.  The first flight of adult butterflies takes place between the second half of April and throughout the month of May.  Mating takes place immediately, mainly in the twilight hours.  The next phase is that of oviposition which occurs on the floral buttons, on the pedicels and on the rachis.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-652\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad medrectangle-3 medrectangle-3652 adtester-container adtester-container-652\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-medrectangle-3\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-medrectangle-3-0\" ezaw=\"728\" ezah=\"90\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:90px;min-width:728px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id=\"forum-1274725988\" class=\"forum-content forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span id=\"Prima_generazione\">First generation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After 7-14 days of incubation, the first generation larvae are born, called <strong>antofaghe<\/strong>.

In this case, adults flicker from August to the end of September, depending on the climatic bands.  These eggs lay on the grapes in the ripening phase.  Therefore, the vine moth usually completes 2-3 generations a year, which in some very favorable seasons can reach 4 (extreme southern regions).<\/p><div id=\"forum-933246904\" class=\"forum-content-3 forum-entity-placement\">\t\t<div class=\"ad-wrapper\" style=\"width:100%;min-height:250px;text-align:center\">\r\n\t\t\t<!-- In Article Blog -->\r\n\t\t\t<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n\t\t\t\t style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3476569516614521\"\r\n\t\t\t\t data-ad-slot=\"9829044906\"><\/ins>\r\n\t\t\t<script>\r\n\t\t\t\t (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n\t\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"Quali_piante_colpisce\">What plants does it affect?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the vine, the <em>Lobesia botrana<\/em> it can also be found on other plants of the Mediterranean scrub.

This damage is the least serious, since, usually, the attack is not very massive.

From the outside you can see the entrance and exit holes.  The grape turns brown and withers.<br \/>Further damage to the cluster is caused by the formation of nests: small silky cocoons located within the cluster itself.<br \/>The third generation also causes indirect damage, as the grapes are in the final ripeness, therefore more delicate.

The <u>operation of monitoring traps<\/u> it&#8217;s not complex.  In short, they must be placed in the vineyard starting in early April and replaced following the pheromone&#8217;s expiration indications.  Typically, two traps are used per hectare of vineyard, so their cost is sustainable.  The trap gives us an indication of the presence of the moth, so as to organize the interventions.  Normally no action is taken on the first generation larvae.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-650\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad box-4 box-4650 adtester-container adtester-container-650\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-box-4\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-box-4-0\" ezaw=\"300\" ezah=\"250\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Bacillus_thuringiensis\">Bacillus thuringiensis<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In organic viticulture the most effective product in the control of the vine moth is the <u>bacillus thuringiensis<\/u>.

It is a very selective organic insecticide, and is effective on moth larvae in the early stages of life.  It acts by ingestion, so it must reach the moth larvae before they enter the berries.  For this reason it is used for second and third generation larvae.  Thanks to the capture traps we can calibrate this intervention.<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"Come_intervenire\">How to intervene<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>For the second generation larvae, Bacillus thuringiensis is sprayed on the plants twice: the first at 7-9 days from the moment of the growing phase of capture in the traps;  the second after 15-16 days (7 days after the first treatment).<br \/>For third generation moth larvae, only one intervention is done, after 14-21 days from the beginning of the catch with monitoring traps.  To improve the effectiveness of the bacillus against the moth, about 1 kg of sugar is added for every 100 l of water.<span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-663\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-655\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad banner-1 banner-1655 adtester-container adtester-container-655\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-banner-1\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-banner-1-0\" ezaw=\"300\" ezah=\"250\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;min-height:250px;min-width:300px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-689\" class=\"ezoic-adpicker-ad\"><\/span><span class=\"ezoic-ad large-mobile-banner-1 large-mobile-banner-1689 adtester-container adtester-container-689\" data-ez-name=\"coltivazionebiologica_it-large-mobile-banner-1\"><span id=\"div-gpt-ad-coltivazionebiologica_it-large-mobile-banner-1-0\" ezaw=\"580\" ezah=\"400\" style=\"position:relative;z-index:0;display:inline-block;padding:0;width:100%;max-width:1200px;margin-left:auto!important;margin-right:auto!important;min-height:90px;min-width:728px\" class=\"ezoic-ad\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There vine moth (Lobesia botrana) is the most dangerous parasite for Italian viticulture.
