Abstract: To forecast and control Adoxophyes orana efficiently, the adult dynamics of A. orana in orchards were observed by the method of sex attractant trapping. The results showed that A. orana had 3-4 generations per year in orchards, and the overwintering moth began emerging in early to mid-May. Each generation adult occurrence time was different every year, with generation overlapping. The number of trapped moths had certain difference at 1.0-2.0 m height of the apple tree. The number of the moths at 1.5 m height was the most. When the sex attractant was applied for trapping moths, sex attractants should be arranged near 1.5 m height of the apple tree in order to get better trapping effect. The moths mainly acted in 4:00-8:00, and the activities were more frequent and active in 4:00-6:00.
