The trials were carried out in Bulgaria in the years 2012 and 2116. The possibilities for using mating disruption (MD) as alternative method for controlling oriental fruit moth have been studied. Isomate OFM rosso and Isomate OFM TT dispensers against oriental fruit moth, provided from Sumit Agro Bulgaria were used in this study. Percentage of damage in the experimental orchard treated with Isomate OFM rosso and Isomate OFM TT was 0.1 and 0.2 %, i.e. rather below the economical threshold; no outbreak of the OFM appearance was noted. The results obtained may open the possibilities of practical use of the method of mating disruption in Bulgaria.
