2021年11月16日 · H. coffearia is the only known host of M. homonae (Mills and Carl, 1991), which has also been used successfully to control the tea tortrix in India (Chacko, 1987; Selvasundaram and Muraleedharan, 1987).

2023年3月7日 · Nietner initially reported tea tortrix, Homona coffearia, as a coffee pest. Later when coffee was replaced by tea, this pest shifted its activity to tea (Sharma & Gunasekare, 2018 ). Green ( 1890 ) reported their first outbreak in tea was from Srilanka and later it became the major pest of tea in Srilanka (Sidhakaran, 2006 ).

Tea tortrix: Homona coffearia (Tortricidae: Lepidoptera) Damage symptoms: Caterpillars make leaf nests by webbing the leaves using silken threads and feed from inside. Single caterpillar makes several cases. Young larvae prefer tender leaves while the older larvae prefer matured leaves. Bionomics:

In this paper, we review and discuss the research advance about the identification of tea pest sex pheromone, functions of minor components, chirality, polymorphism, resistance, synthesis pathway, regulatory mechanism and other ecological functions of sex pheromone.
