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 c...

Novel methods of data analysis were used to interpret codling moth (Cydia pomonella) catch data from central-trap, multiple-release experiments using a standard codlemone-baited monitoring trap in commercial apple orchards not under mating disruption. The main objectives were to determine consistency and reliability for measures of: 1) the trapping radius, composed of the trap's behaviorally ef...

No field failure of azinphosmethyl had been noticed in controlling codling moth from Oregon until 1989. However, in a study conducted by Moffitt et al. during 1986 to 1987, a codling moth population from Medford has been reported resistant to diflubenzuron. It was suspected that selection by other commonly used compounds was probably responsible for this resistance. We initiated our work in 198...

the codling moth, cydia pomonella, is the most important pest insect in apple orchards. efficacy of a native strain of the egg parasitoid wasp, trichogramma embryophagum, was statistically compared with chemical control and check treatments in an apple orchard. the best times for releasing the parasitoid wasps were determined by using a forecasting model based on estimation of growing degree ho...

The granulovirus of Cydia pomonella (L.) (CpGV) offers potential for selective control of codling moth. Two major limitations of CpGV are its narrow host range and lack of persistence in the orchard agroecosystem. The nucleopolyhedroviruses of the alfalfa looper Autographa californica (Speyer) (AcMNPV) and those of the celery looper Anagrapha falcifera (Kirby) (AfMNPV) have broad host ranges. C...

Delay of mating was examined as a possible mechanism for population decreases associated with mating disruption for codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., and obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). We examined the effect of delaying female mating 0, 2, 4, or 6 d while holding male age constant on life table parameters of both species. We found that inc...

Studies were conducted to assess glacial acetic acid (GAA) with various host plant volatiles (HPVs) and the sex pheromone, (E,E)-8, 10-dodecadien-1-ol, of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L), as lures in traps for tortricid pests that often co-occur in tree fruits in the western United States. In addition to codling moth, field trapping studies were conducted with oriental fruit moth, Grapholita ...

The identity, geographical distribution, and host range of codling moth is reviewed, and the evidence for sweet cherry being a host is critically analysed. A model is described which assesses the risk of codling moth being spread through international trade in sweet cherries, as exempli"ed by exports from, respectively, New Zealand and USA to Japan in winter and summer. The model is based on th...

Ansebo, L. 2004. Odour Perception in the Codling Moth Cydia pomonella L. – from Brain to Behaviour. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1404-6249, ISBN 91-576-6758-6 The codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a renowned pest in apple, pear and walnut orchards, and its activities are in large guided by volatile odours as sensory cues. This thesis spans over a large part of the ol...

Nonchemical quarantine treatments, using a combination of short-duration high temperatures under low oxygen, elevated carbon dioxide atmospheric environment were developed to control codling moth in sweet cherries, Prunus avium (L.). The two treatments developed are a chamber temperature of 45 degrees C for 45 min and a chamber temperature of 47 degreesC for 25 min under a 1% oxygen, 15% carbon...
