چکیده
J Econ Entomol 82(6): 1825-1829 (1989) ABSTRACT Oriental fruit moth, Ctapholita molesta (Busck), was reared on modifications of a previously developed small lima bean diet Initial experiments showed that different types of beans substituted for lima beans produced similar yields of oriental fruit moth pupae Fresh, thinning apples provided the best diet for high yields and high pupal weights, but apple quality degeneiates with time, producing poorer quality pupae Modifications of the bean diet resulted in quality production of >1,000 pupae per 4-liter jar, allowing year-long maintenance of the colony that could not be accomplished on apples alone Tolerance of oriental fruit moth to methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, sorbic acid, and benomyl (Benlate) preservatives in the diet was determined

Sprayable microencapsulated sex pheromone formulation for mating disruption of oriental fruit moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Australian peach and pear orchards.
Areawide mating disruption treatments have been effective in controlling infestation of oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in Australian pome and stone fruit orchards. Although successful, the areawide mating disruption program has been an expensive approach by using hand-applied Isomate dispensers. Sprayable microencapsulated (MEC) pheromone formulation...
متن کاملEffects of orchard host plants (apple and peach) on development of oriental fruit moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).
Studies were designed to examine the effects of host plants (apple, Malus domestica Borkh., and peach, Prunus persica L.) on the development of oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). Oriental fruit moth larvae developed faster on peach than on apple, both on fruit as well as on growing terminal shoots. On fruit, these differences were shown to cause signific...
متن کاملMale oriental fruit moth response to a combined pheromone-based attracticide formulation targeting both oriental fruit moth and codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae).
Combined attracticide formulations targeting Oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck), and codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), were tested in a field trapping experiment. Capture of male codling moths in traps baited with the combined formulation was reduced compared with traps baited with the codling moth formulation alone, whereas capture of male Oriental fruit moth was increased compa...
متن کاملLaboratory Infestation of Sweet Cherry by Codling Moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): Factors Affecting Survival1
Sweet cherries, Prunus avium L., from the United States must be fumigated to control codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), before exporting them to Japan. However, the status of sweet cherry as a true host for codling moth has been debated because of the limited survival of the pest. Previously, laboratory methods have been developed to rear the codling moth on sweet ch...
متن کاملPheromone release rate determines whether sexual communication of Oriental fruit moth is disrupted competitively vs. noncompetitively
Communicational disruptionmechanisms for Oriental fruit moth,Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), were determined using a suite of mathematical tools and graphical operations that enable differentiation between competitive attraction and non-competitive mechanisms of disruption. Research was conducted in 20 field cages, each covering 12 mature apple trees. Commercial monitorin...
