False codling moth is the key lepidopteran pest of citrus, other subtropical fruits in Southern Africa. Macadamia nut borer is a key pest in macadamia production in Southern Africa, Hawaii and Australia. Novel synthetic pathways were developed to obtain economically viable high purity pheromone components for these species. Results of Last Call Attract and Kill field trials are presented, proving multi-year efficacy of this technology in managing these pest species in commercial farming operations in South Africa.

Species 1: Lepidoptera Tortricidae Cryptophlebia leucotreta (false codling moth)
Species 2: Lepidoptera Tortricidae Cryptophlebia batrachopa (macadamia nut borer)
Species 3: Lepidoptera Tortricidae Cryptophlebia ombrodelta (macadamia nut borer)
Keywords: citrus IPM, macadamia IPM
