Progress in validating a computer model for simulating pest life cycles is described. Validation tests were done using the emergence times of four species of Tortricidae. The uses of the model in risk assessment of insect pests are discussed in relation to strengthening and reassessment of phytosanitary regulations as well as in eradication campaigns.
