CONTROL OF CODLING MOTH ON WALNUTS WITH A GRANULOSIS VIRUS ABSTRACT P. V. Vail
نویسندگان
چکیده
A granulosis virus was tested as a potential control agent for codling moth larvae on walnuts. The virus was produced and supplied by Sandoz, Inc. as our experimental insecticide. This virus is of considerable interest because it has little or no effect on beneficial parasites and predators and, therefore, probably would not disturb the control of the walnut aphid by the parasite Trioxys palladus.

Control of Codling Moth 011Walnuts with a Granulosis Virus P. V. Vail
Field tests were conducted in 1983 at Hanford, CA, to further investigate the use of the codling moth granulosis virus (GV) as a control agent. Timing of application and number of applications were investigated. Sprays were commenced at 0.1 and 10% predicted hatch for the GV as well as Zolone. In the small plots, first brood damage was assessed by counting the number of fallen codling moth infe...
متن کاملSummary of Research Conducted to Develop a Quarantine Treatment for the Codling Moth in Walnuts for Export to Japan
In 1980-1983 small-scale tests were conducted and background information was obtalned to determine the feasibility of developing a quarantine treatment with methyl bromide (MB) for the codling moth (Cydia pomonella La) infesting in-shall walnuts. Some of the studies conducted at this time included basic dose mortality responses of diapausing and nondiapausing larvae, residue determinations and ...

Mating disruption of a field pest (codling moth) is being tested in a stored-product situation by placing pheromone dispensers in bagged walnuts in storage at 77°F. Three series of tests have resulted in 39-100% control when a single pair of moths was present in each test bag and in 42-87% control when four pairs of moths were present in each test bag. Future tests will include field collected ...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Survival and Reproduction of the Codling Moth in Harvested Walnuts
Previous studies supported by the Walnut Board had shown that survival of codling moth (CM) larvae is proportional to their age at the time of harvest and that overall survival is poor compared to siblings reared on artificial diets. In 1986 considerably more data were collected on the infestation levels of codling moth in different varieties of walnuts. In addition, the population structure at...

Unshelled walnuts were artificially infested with diapausing fifth ins tar codling moth, Cvdia nomonella (L.), larvae and fumigated with 56 g/m3 methyl bromide for 4 h at 15.6°C under a reduced pressure of 100 mm Hg. When 34,959 were treated, one larva survived, indicating a survival rate of 2.91 larvae per 100~000 treated. The upper 95% CL for this survival rate was 13.8 larvae per 100,000 tre...
