What Kind of Damage Can the European Grapevine Moth Cause?
The European grapevine moth can feed on the flower or fruit of host plants, most often grapes. If the moth attacks mature grape clusters, for example, the berries can become further damaged through infection of a fungus called botrytis, also known as bunch rot. This causes a decay of plant tissue and possible death. The second and third generations are the most economically damaging, as they directly and severely affect mature berries through larval feeding.
