| Abstract |
Lepidopteran pest species attacking date palms and fruits are problematic in stored dates or in the date garden. Three such species, the carob moth, lesser date moth, and raisin moth, have biologies that are timed with the seasonal occurrence of date fruit. Thus they have become primary pests for the date producer and have been the focus of scientific research toward the development of sustainable management. This chapter provides an in-depth coverage of these three insects, with particular emphasis on their distribution, natural history, and management in date gardens. |
