In this paper, it was researched the biological and ecological orchard apple worm in the Sibiel Village, Sibiu County in terms of 2014 year. Given the increasing damage caused in recent years by the worm Cydia pomonella of apples in the orchard studied, two methods were used: through mass capture of adults with sexual attractant pheromone traps and stage of the study included minimum threshold temperature tracking the insect and by this, calculate the approximate insect biology and ecology on the average daily temperature, precipitation and humidity, for the application of effective treatments consistent with environmental protection is therefore necessary detailed knowledge of the biology of this insect for forecasting and warning treatments. As a conclusion, the use of pheromone traps proved the following advantages: reducing the pest population within the economic threshold, reducing the amount of insecticides for crop protection in some cases even their exclusion, environmental protection and getting ecologically clean agricultural production, keeping useful entomofauna.
