The European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana relies on a female produced sex pheromone for long-distance mate finding. Grapevine moth males compete heavily during limited time windows for females. The aim of this study was to investigate the perception of host plant volatiles by grapevine moth males and whether such compounds elicit upwind oriented flights. We compared five host plant headspace ...

The phenology of insect emergence affects reproductive success and is especially critical in short-lived species. An increasing number of studies have documented the effects of thermal and other climatic variations and of unpredictable habitats on the timing of adult insect emergence within and between populations and years. Numerous interacting factors may affect the phenology of adult emergen...

The approach of male Lobesia botrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in the wind tunnel to a source of sex pheromone was studied using two video cameras connected to image processing equipment. Three-dimensional records demonstrate that the flight to calling females is quite direct compared to the zigzag flight reported for other species. Convoluted paths displaying bimodal distribution of track and...

Bu çalışmada gibberellik asitin Lobesia botrana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) popülasyonu üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Denemelerde Sultaniye çekirdeksiz üzüm çeşidi yetiştirilen bağ kullanılmıştır. Belirlenen alanda asit uygulanmış ve uygulanmamış sıralar oluşturulmuştur. Denemeler sırasında bağa normalde uygulanan ilaç programı aynı şekilde uygulanmaya devam edilmiştir. İki sıra arasındaki tek...

Lobesia botrana Denis & Schiff. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), also known as the European grapevine moth is a detrimental pest in grape production Palearctic Region. Insecticides are used to control L. infestation grape-produced areas; however, repeated and intensive use of insecticide causes reduced efficacy management. In present study, five commonly insecticides (chlorpyrifos-ethyl, ema...

in 2005, during a survey on the biology of grape berry moth, lobesia botrana (denis & schiffermã¼ller) in nazlochay of urmia region, some damaged symptoms of another moth on the berries of grape were observed that caused by a coleophorid species determined as coleophora hemerobiella (scopoli). this species, which is newly reported from iran, also may be considered as a new pest of vineyards of ...

The article presents an assessment of the biological effectiveness biorational insectoacaricides based on abamectin and emamectin benzoate – metabolites soil actinomycetes, to protect grapes from pests. We studied new drugs: Mekar, ME (18 g/l abamectin) Mabet, EC against Schizotetranychus pruni ; Yunona, (50 benzoate), Emakleim, VRG benzoate) Proclame Fit, WDG (400 g/kg lufenuron + 50 emamectin...
