Overview of automatic monitoring systems for apple pests

Apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) is one of the world's highest-yielding fruit crops. In addition to codling moth (Cydia pomonella L.), which is considered the most important apple pest, other lepidopterans, fruit flies, and true bug species also threaten production, affecting fruit quality and preventing its commercialization. Early detection and monitoring of pests is critical to preventing damage from pests. Due to new climatic conditions, the phenology of pests changes frequently and it is very difficult to predict their occurrence. Therefore, there is an increasing need to develop and use new smart technologies for pest monitoring (smart traps, sensors, etc.). Such methods can greatly facilitate site-specific management and consequently reduce the use of pesticides and their residues. The aim of this work is to provide an overview of methods for automatic monitoring of economically important apple pests in order to improve sustainable pest management in apple production.
