Field Attraction of Codling Moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to Apple and Pear Fruit, and Quantitation of Kairomones from Attractive Fruit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Male and female codling moths, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) responded to fruit-baited traps in orchards. Numbers of codling moths trapped with immature uninfested apples (Malus spp.), immature apples infested with larval codling moth, fresh ripe apples, stored ripe apples, or fresh ripe pears (Pyrus spp.) were signiÞcantly greater than in unbaited traps. Greatest numbers of codling moths were captured in traps baited with ripe ÔBartlettÕ pears, but direct comparisons of these fruit types were not made. Females captured in traps baited with ripe apples or pears were primarily mated and had developing or mature eggs, and smaller numbers of females trapped were unmated without eggs or were postreproductive. Volatile compounds sampled from infested immature ÔRed DeliciousÕ apples that were attractive in traps showed emission of two known codling moth host kairomones: (E,E)-farnesene as well as small amounts of -caryophyllene. Collections of volatile chemicals from ripe ÔBraeburnÕ apples that were attractive in traps showed strong emission of the codling moth kairomones 2-methylbutyl acetate, butyl hexanoate, hexyl hexanoate, and (E,E)-farnesene, and very small amounts of the kairomones (R)-limonene and (E)-farnesene. Volatile collections made from ripe Bartlett pears that were attractive in traps indicated strong emission of the codling moth kairomones butyl hexanoate, ethyl (E,Z) 2,4-decadienoate and (E,E)-farnesene, and small amounts of the kairomones 2-methylbutyl acetate, hexyl hexanoate, -caryophyllene, (E)-farnesene, and (E,E)-farnesol.

The codling moth Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera Tortricidae) is a key pest of pome fruit (apple, pear and quince) and walnut orchards in most temperate regions of the world (Barnes 1991; CABI 1995). The moth has followed the spread of the apple tree Malus pumila Miller around the world, and
متن کاملParticle films for suppression of the codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in apple and pear orchards.
Studies were conducted in 1997 and 1998 to evaluate the effects of three particle film formulations consisting of kaolin and adjuvants on neonate larvae, ovipositing adult females, and eggs of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.). Neonate larval walking speed, fruit discovery rate, and fruit penetration rate on apple host plants coated with particle films were significantly lower than on host...

Traps baited with ethyl (E, Z)-2, 4-decadienoate (pear ester) or (E, E)-8,10-dodecadienol (codlemone) were used to monitor codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in 102 apple,Malus domestica Borkhausen, orchards. All orchards were treated with 500Ð1,000 Isomate-C PLUS dispensers/ha during 2000Ð2002. Traps baitedwith pear ester caught their Þrst moth signiÞcantly later on a...

Field experiments quantified the effect of synthetic pheromone release-site density and distribution on 1) orientational disruption of male codling moths, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), to pheromone-baited traps; and 2) fruit injury. A clustering test varied pheromone release-site density from 0 to 1,000 Isomate-C Plus dispensers per ha while maintaining the total number of di...
