Apple Leaf Blotch Miner (ALBM)

Leucoptera malifoliella: Apple Leaf Blotch Miner (ALBM)

Leucoptera malifoliella, the pear leaf blister moth, ribbed apple leaf miner, apple leaf miner, or apple leaf blotch miner (ALBM), is a miniature moth of the Lyonetiidae family that can be found in all of Europe. Adults are on wing from June to July.

An invasive apple leaf blotch miner (ALBM), Leucoptera malifoliella (Costa) (Lyonetiidae: Lepidoptera) has been identified and reported on apples in Kashmir by the Director Dr S.N. Sushil of ICAR-NBAIR and team consisting of T. Venkatesan, A. N. Shylesha, M.

Apple is one of the most important economic fruit crops in the world. Despite all the strategies of integrated pest management (IPM), insecticides are still frequently used in its cultivation. In addition, pest phenology is extremely influenced by changing climatic conditions. The frequent spread of invasive species, unexpected pest outbreaks, and the development of additional generations are some of the problems posed by climate change. The adopted strategies of IPM therefore need to be changed as do the current monitoring techniques, which are increasingly unreliable and outdated. The need for more sophisticated, accurate, and efficient pest control techniques is leading to the increasing development of automated pest control systems.
