    Modul de atac al Zeuzera pyrina și impactul său devastator asupra pomilor din livezi
    (CEP USM, 2024) Fron, Arcadie
    The walnut orchard industry in the Republic of Moldova faces significant threats from the pest Zeuzera pyrina, which can drastically reduce crop yield and quality. This study investigates the monitoring and management of this pest in a 1.5 hectare walnut orchard, analyzing its impact on tree health and developing effective control methods. Population monitoring was conducted using pheromone traps and visual inspections, revealing significant fluctuations influenced by weather conditions. Z. pyrina poses a considerable risk by damaging the tree structure. The study emphasizes the necessity of integrated pest management, combining biological and chemical methods to mitigate infestations. Future research should focus on developing localized control strategies and fostering collaboration between researchers, farmers, and authorities to ensure the sustainability and productivity of walnut crops.
