Biological Invasions and Its Management in China

Part of the book series: Invading Nature - Springer Series in Invasion Ecology ((INNA,volume 11))

Abstract

The codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), is one of the highly invasive pests that devastates pome and walnut fruit trees worldwide. It has been listed in the most harmful quarantine species in China. Since the first report of this species in northwestern China in 1957, C. pomonella spreads rapidly from Xinjiang Province to Gansu Province, Ningxia Province, and other fruit production regions in the northwest. This species was found in some regions in northeastern China since 2006. C. pomonella not only causes serious damages to fruit production, but also influences the export of fruits from China. In this chapter, we review the biology, damage, distribution and invasion history of the codling moth. The invasion sources, population genetics, monitor and control the codling moth in China was also summarized in this chapter.
