Cydia pomonella(L.) is an important quarantine pest in China. Since C. pomonella was found in Korla, Xinjiang, in 1953, it has become an invasive species in seven provinces, including Xinjiang, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Liaoning and Jilin. It is a serious threat to apple production. Xinjiang was the first province to start research about the biology, ecology and control techniques of C. pomonella and carry out extensive research and work on pest control. Through a literature review, we summarize the current information about the biology and ecology of C.pomonella in Xinjiang desert oasis and the existing control techniques. This study provides references and basis for future studies and prevention of the codling moth.
