A model for the control of the European grapevine mothLobesia botranaincludes two control methods: insecticides and mating disruption. It yields the combination and schedule of application that minimize cost and losses due to the pest. A simulation is presented for an experimental situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
