The advent of spraying and a better knowledge of the life histories of insects and fungi are lessening the importance of the parasite factor in determining the value of a region for grape-growing, but it is still of high importance.
As the caterpillars spend most of their lives within the grape berries, sprayingdoes not entirely control the pest.
Treatment consists of destroying as far as possible all diseased fruit, old leaves and prunings and in spraying thoroughly with bordeaux mixture as follows:-- 1.

This insect causes considerable damage to apple trees unless controlled, which can be effected by spraying with nicotine-sulphate against the young insects in the spring.
Under garden conditions, control can be secured by spraying the plants with arsenate of lead (to which a spreader must be added in the case of cabbage), which should be done especially when the plants are young.
