The pest Cydia pomonella L. is present in all countries where the apple tree is grown (CABI 2021), the damage done by this species being considerable.The lower threshold of development of the species under study is 9°C that influences the appearance in apple plantations of butterflies, it was recorded in the analyzed area on May 9 in 2019 and May 1 2020, a period during which the sum of the temperature degrees did not meet the thermal constant (K) of the species worth 624°C (Rosca I. et al., 2011). The research was carried out between 2019-2020 at the Research Station for Fruit Growing Iasi, Romania using AtraPom traps (ICCRR Cluj-Napoca) to determine the biological cycle of the Cydia pomonella L. species in correlation with the influence of changes in climatic conditions.
