This paper reports the results obtained from the analysis of capture data using the TERASEYA FLY device for Lobesia botrana males (Denis and Schiffermüller). The research was carried out in the region of Moldova, within two plantations belonging to two representative wine basins in the country, being the Odobesti Vineyard and the Husi Vineyard. In the study areas, the vineyards (of Vitis vinifera L.) are cultivated mostly with quality wine varieties, predominantly in the Odobesti vineyard we meet the Muscat Ottonel variety, and in the Husi vineyard we meet the Fetească regala variety, which have also been the subject of research our.The main aim of the study was to investigate the dynamics and biology of L. botrana species inside vineyards and to assess the effect of new climate change on pest distribution. Pest prediction and warning models have been developed and tested to monitor the life cycle of L. botrana, integrating both biological and climatic information. The timing of the first appearance of adults and the hatching of the first eggs can be predicted by predictive models based on the temperature requirements of the stages.Unfortunately, the models of prediction based on the calculation of the sum of daily degrees of temperature are empirical and their robustness strongly depends on the environment in which they were validated. The alternative forecasting techniques are currently being developed, such as pest assessment in the study area using these modern digital farming techniques.
