چکیده

leopard moth, zeuzera pyrina l., is a xylophagous key pest in iran. pest has major hosts in orchards. walnut is the main host in orchard trees. other hosts in iran are apple, pear and quince. at present, this pest is active in the middle and eastern provinces of iran. in this study, the efficacy of a new and common method which is mass trapping of male insects by synthetic pheromones was investigated. the test was conducted in a completely randomized block design with 5 treatments and 5 replications. the treatments included control, 4, 8, 12 and 16 pheromone traps/ha. the pheromone of clearwing moth, synanthedon tipuliformis was used in this study. to install of pheromone traps in orchards, we used delta traps. we carried out this project in two years (1389-90) in two years (1389-1390) obtained in horticultural research station in kamal shahr, karaj, indicated that in first and second years treatments can be placed in 5 and 3 statically groups, respectively. evaluation of experimental treatments done on the base of number of first instars larvae penetrated in to non-woody branches. according to that in first year application of 16 traps with means of 1.84± 0.133 and in second year application of 4 traps with mean of 0.66±0.169 penetration showed the best results. based on these results, orchards are recommended to do this 2- year's procedure in order to effectively reduce the damage.

Multiple mating of male and female codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in apple orchards treated with sex pheromone.

Studies were conducted with codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., to evaluate the mating status of male and female moths in apple, Malus domestica (Borkhausen), orchards treated with and without sex pheromone dispensers. Laboratory studies first examined the effect of multiple mating of male and female moths on female fecundity and egg fertility. Females that had mated three times had a significant...

Moth Sex Pheromone Receptors and Deceitful Parapheromones

The insect's olfactory system is so selective that male moths, for example, can discriminate female-produced sex pheromones from compounds with minimal structural modifications. Yet, there is an exception for this "lock-and-key" tight selectivity. Formate analogs can be used as replacement for less chemically stable, long-chain aldehyde pheromones, because male moths respond physiologically and...

Differential Interactions of Sex Pheromone and Plant Odour in the Olfactory Pathway of a Male Moth

Most animals rely on olfaction to find sexual partners, food or a habitat. The olfactory system faces the challenge of extracting meaningful information from a noisy odorous environment. In most moth species, males respond to sex pheromone emitted by females in an environment with abundant plant volatiles. Plant odours could either facilitate the localization of females (females calling on host...

Influence of within-orchard trap placement on catch of codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in sex pheromone-treated orchards.

The influence of trap placement on catches of codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., was examined in a series of studies conducted in orchards treated with Isomate-C Plus sex pheromone dispensers. Mark-recapture tests with sterilized moths released along the interface of pairs of treated and untreated apple and pear plots found that significantly more male but not female moths were recaptured on int...

The performance of clear delta traps baited with 3.0 mg of pear ester, ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate, and 5.0 ml of acetic acid in separate lures was compared with orange delta traps baited with a single lure containing 3.0 mg of both pear ester and the sex pheromone, (E,E)-8,10-dodecadien-1-ol (codlemone) for codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), in apple, Malus domestica (Borkhausen). Residual ...

Central processing of sex pheromone stimuli is differentially regulated by juvenile hormone in a male moth.

In the male moth, Agrotis ipsilon, the neuronal basis for juvenile hormone (JH)-linked modulation of sex pheromone responsiveness was investigated following stimulation of the antenna with i) an extract of female pheromone gland, ii) the synthetic pheromone blends from A. ipsilon and a closely related species, A. segetum, and iii) single components of the A. ipsilon blend. Response characterist...
