Although need for pesticide application based on numbers of males captured seems to be a viable approach in some apple growing areas, it has not proven reliable in other regions. The reasons may be several, including differences in distances over which males respond to pheromone compared to distances over which females respond to fruit tree stimuli, abundance of virgin females within and without the orchard confines, and meteorological factors affecting male activity and pheromone release.
