TL;DR: The purpose of this review is to summarize the progress made on automatic traps with a particular focus on camera-equipped traps to support the use of software and image recognition algorithms to identify and/or count insect species from pictures.

TL;DR: Optimization of these complex lures can likely further improve managers’ ability to monitor G. molesta and help to develop multispecies tortricid lures for use in individual traps.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the effectiveness of ‘female removal’ strategies to manage codling moth may be geographically limited and further comparisons are needed in other production regions and in walnut.

TL;DR: This study proves that this combination lure can improve the monitoring and management for G. molesta in stone fruits and suggests that female-based monitoring lures should be further developed to improve management strategies.

TL;DR: Five new quaternary combination compounds when added to the 3K core blend performed similarly to the 4K lure (male, females, and total moths); further studies should expand these results through tests of these and other new blends with a range of component ratios and total loading amounts.
