The aim of the present work is to study the codling moth infestation rate and its control by using different techniques. To calculate the population of codling moth from the orchard’s of Ladakh for the sake of convenience three orchards were selected from the Union territory of Ladakh. In which the delta traps were installed in Basgoo to monitor the population of codling moth and to see the effect of delta traps on the infestation caused by codling moth. Delta traps containing lures loaded with codlimone (E, E)-8, 10-doddecadien-1-ol the sex attractant which attracts male moths towards trap. Another orchard was selected from the Nurla in which 3 insecticide were sprayed. The insecticide sprayed was chlorpyriphos @1ml per 1 litre. Another orchard Nimmu was taken as control in which no chemical or matting disruption material was dropped. The three traps were also installed in all the selected orchard’s to monitor the population of codling. According to the plan the visits were conduc

The work was completed in 6 months of season in which the codling moth is at bloom. It was concluded that the codling moth (Cydia pomonella) the most dangerous pest of apple fruit can be controlled by many methods but the most appropriate one is the use of trap+3 insecticides. The Traps were used to control the codling moth population by means of mass trapping in Basgoo. The three insecticide sprays were applied to the site Nurla @ 1ml/litre these three sprays were sprayed month after moth .Three traps were also installed at every location to see effect of TRAP, 3 INSECTCIDES on the population of codling moth. The data taken was very fruitful in which we see the orchard Nurla was with Trap + 3 Insecticides was least infected followed by Basgoo in which only traps were installed was more effected than the Nurla. The orchard Nimmu which was taken as untreated was very highly affected and the trap catch in this orchard was very high. The lowest rap catch was at Nurla were traps + 3 inse
