Granupom is a selective biological insecticide, based on the Cydia pomonella (Codling moth) granulosis virus, for the control of Codling moth in fruit production.
Treatment has to be applied in relation with duration and intensity of moth flights, which can be determined by using pheromone traps.
In general, a treatment with 500 ml/ha is sufficient.
For the first treatment, you can use a dose of 300 ml/ha, and the remaining quantity (200 ml) can be used for 2 or 3 additional sprays at 1-week intervals.

 * Granupom is only allowed in Belgium.
