What are some applied methods for controlling Zeuzera pyrina, the leopard moth, a key pest of walnut orchards?Gardeners in Iran have recently had many problems with this pest. Current control methods include:

  • Spraying with organophosphate synthetic insecticides like Diazinon for the control the first larval stage at the young bud
  • Paste formulations for use at new holes (fumigation)
  • Imported pheromones 

These have been used, but have low effectiveness.

Is there a new pesticide?
