ectomyelois ceratoniae zeller (lepidoptera.: pyralidae), is the key pest of pomegranate in iran. trichogramma wasps could be used as effective agents of biological control that can also be used effectively in ipm programs. the effect of host density on parasitism of trichogramma brassicae was studied by exposing densities of 4, 8, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 120 eggs of factitious host (sitotroga ce...

the calling behavior of virgin carob moth females, ectomyelois ceratoniae (zeller) (lep.: pyralidae) was evaluated under two different thermal regimes, cycling and constant temperatures under laboratory condition. the period of calling activity under cycling temperature was prolonged and the total period of calling activity of an individual female was increased. although moths maintained under ...

the carob moth, ectomyelois ceratoniae zeller (lep.: pyralidae) is the most important pest of pomegranate orchards in iran. this current research was carried out to study the biology of venturia canescens gravenhorst (hym.: ichneumonidae) as one of its larval parasitoids. laboratory studies were conducted on the immature developmental time, adult longevity, functional response, parasite progeny...

the carob moth, ectomyelois ceratoniae (zeller), belongs to the family pyralidae and the subfamily phycitinae. in spite of some features of sexual dimorphism in size and shape in the order lepidoptera and the mentioned family, it has not been recorded in this species. in the current study, sexual dimorphism in the wing shape and size of carob moth on four hosts (pomegranate, fig, pistachio and ...
