pomegranate fruit moth (pfm), apomyelois ceratoniae zeller is a major pest of pomegranate in iran. in this study, the effect of four diets including pistachio, pomegranate, semi-artificial and artificial diets were studied on biological parameters of pfm in a growth chamber under controlled conditions at 30 ± 2 °c, 65 ± 5% rh and 16:8 (l: d) h. the results demonstrated that the longest incubati...

The carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller, 1839) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is the most important pest of pomegranate in Iran. As it has been rarely recorded on other host plants, control methods have mostly been focused on its populations on pomegranate. In this study, shapes and sizes of wings were compared in populations on 4 host plants (pomegranate, fig, pistachio and walnut) using a l...

In the present paper introduce an innovative approach to automatically detect and grade the diseases on pomegranate fruit. The diseased pomegranate plant shows specific symptoms colored spots that will occur on the pomegranate fruit. so it is important to monitoring the pomegranate during its growth period and at the time of harvest. The proposed system will be an efficient module that identifi...

Pomegranate juice is a polyphenol-rich fruit juice with high antioxidant capacity. In limited studies in human and murine models, pomegranate juice has been shown to exert significant antiatherogenic, antioxidant, antihypertensive, and anti-inflammatory effects. Pomegranate juice significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion areas in immune-deficient mice and intima media thickness in cardiac pa...

Zivzik pomegranate is an important source of income for producers in Siirt province. There are many harmful insect species that cause loss yield and quality pomegranate. This study was carried out to determine the pest production areas province its districts 2018 2019. The conducted total 38 orchards 12 villages 3 (Central, Şirvan Pervari). To species, samples were collected with pheromone trap...

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...

Pomegranate fruit from the tree Punica granatum has been dubbed as the "nature's power fruit." Dating back to Biblical times, the tree itself is attributed to possess extraordinary medicinal properties. The geographical distribution of the tree, being native to the Middle East and some Asian countries, is generally attributed to a lack of interest in its medicinal properties by many western sci...

The carob moth, Apomyelois ceratoniae (Zeller) (Lepidoptera Pyralidae), is a serious pest of pomegranate in Iran and a well known pest of many fruits from a wide range of plant families as well as dried fruits during storage. Development and demographic parameters of A. ceratoniae were studied in a growth chamber at temperature of 30 ± 1 °C, relative humidity of 75 ± 5% and a photoperiod of 16:...

Pomegranate fruit undergoes several biochemical changes during growth and ripening on tree leading to the fruit to reach an optimal quality at full ripening stage. These changes are increase in sugar concentration (glucose and fructose), diminution in total acidity (citric and malic acids) and increase in anthocyanin concentration. In addition an increase occurs in antioxidant activity which re...
