Hull split and damaged almond volatiles attract male and female navel orangeworm moths.
A blend of volatiles derived from the emissions of almonds at hull split and mechanically damaged almonds was compared to almond meal, the current monitoring standard for the insect pest navel orangeworm (NOW). Field trapping studies were performed to determine the blend's ability to attract adult NOW. The blend comprised racemic 1-octen-3-ol, ethyl benzoate, methyl salicylate, acetophenone, an...
متن کاملEffects of mating disruption treatments on navel orangeworm (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) sexual communication and damage in almonds and pistachios.
Two experiments in 2003 examined the effects of different ways of dispensing the principal sex pheromone component on sexual communication among and crop damage by the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in Nonpareil almonds and pistachios. A third experiment in 2004 compared the effect on navel orangeworm damage to several almond varieties using one of thes...
متن کاملCould Papua New Guinea meet its MDG for Rural Sanitation?
Of the estimated 85% of Papua New Guinea’s 6.8 million people who live in rural areas, most defecate in the open or use very basic toilets. Papua New Guinea has high rates of infant mortality (57 per 1000) and child mortality (68 per 1000) as well as maternal mortality. Preventable diseases such as pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, under-nutrition, tuberculosis and HIV are significant causes of ch...
متن کاملDemonstration and Characterization of a Persistent Pheromone Lure for the Navel Orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
The lack of an effective pheromone lure has made it difficult to monitor and manage the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), in the economically important crops in which it is the primary insect pest. A series of experiments was conducted to demonstrate and characterize a practical synthetic pheromone lure for capturing navel orangeworm males. Traps baited with lures...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of an Antennae-Specific Aldehyde Oxidase from the Navel Orangeworm
Antennae-specific odorant-degrading enzymes (ODEs) are postulated to inactivate odorant molecules after they convey their signal. Different classes of insect ODEs are specific to esters, alcohols, and aldehydes--the major functional groups of female-produced, hydrophobic sex pheromones from moth species. Esterases that rapidly inactive acetate and other esters have been well-studied, but less i...
