Description
Leafrollers (Adoxophyes sp.)
Spread: The obliquebanded leafroller (OBLR) is native to and widely distributed throughout temperate North America.
Characteristics: hatched larvae have a yellowish green body and a black head and thoracic shield. Mature larvae are 20 to 25 mm in length and the head and thoracic shield may be either black or various shades of brown.
Damage: Leafrollers, the larvae of certain tortricid moths, often feed and pupate within the protection of rolled-up leaves. Several species can cause problems on fruit and ornamental trees in California. The fruittree leafroller, Archips argyrospila, is the most common leafroller pest in landscapes throughout the state. It occurs on many ornamental trees???including ash, birch, California buckeye, box elder, elm, locust, maple, poplar, rose, and willow???and is particularly damaging to deciduous and live oaks. It also attacks numerous fruit and nut trees including almond, apple, apricot, caneberries, cherry, citrus, pear, plum, prune, quince, and walnut.
Control(1) Several parasites attack OBLR larvae but do not adequately control the pest.(2) Apply sprays during June to kill the first summer brood adults and newly hatching larvae.
