Cydia funebrana is the most important pests on almond and apple fruit,
caused damage to fruits and fall down before ripen but the most important
damage became in stores, In Syria, almond plantations are locations mainly in
central area, This study
was done in almond orchards during 2004 – 2008, we
found: C.funebrana had two generations in a year, but in 2008 had a third
generation that entered in diapauses in late time of the year. The flying graph
study showed that first peak was in late May (diapaused larvae), second in first
days of July (first generation), However a third peak was noted in mid-August
(second generation) in 2008. First, second and third generations lasted for 84,
74 and 44 days, respectively. parasitismstages: one Parasitoid belongs
