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...

Gülnar (Mersin)’da elma ağaçlarında bulunan zararlı ve yararlı Arthropoda türlerini saptamaya yönelik olarak yapılan bu çalışma 2014-2015 yıllarında ilkbahar, yaz sonbahar periyotlarında sürdürülmüştür.

Orientational responses of four species of feral tortricid moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to polyethylene tube dispensers of pheromone were observed in a 0.8 ha apple orchard treated with such pheromone dispensers and in an untreated 0.8 ha orchard. Male oblique-banded leafrollers, Choristoneura rosaceana (Walker) (mean 7.2 ± 0.4 moths/night during 21 nights) , Oriental fruit moths, Grapholit...

The larval attractant kairomonc, ethyl (2E. 4Z)-2,4-decadienoate or pear ester (PE), was tested in a Californian walnut orchard for its control efficacy against codling moth larvae, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in a microencapsulated bait spray formulation (PE-MEC) combined with various insecticides (choropyrifos, phosmet, methoxyfenozide and a granulosis virus, Cyd-X). PE-ME...

Spodoptera frugiperda SF-21 cells infected with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus mutants which lack a functional p35 gene undergo apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death. To identify p35-homologous genes in other baculoviruses, A. californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus DNA containing a deletion in p35 was cotransfected into SF-21 cells along with genomic DNAs from other bacu...

Apples destined for export to Japan and South Korea are currently disinfested for codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), using methyl bromide fumigation. Restrictions and limitations imposed on the uses of methyl bromide have increased interest in developing alternative non-chemical quarantine treatments. It is imperative that the treatment is effective against codling mot...

As the largest terrestrial biomes, crop and pasturelands can have very large positive or negative impacts on biodiversity and human well-being. Understanding how animals use and impact agroecosystems is important for making informed decisions that achieve conservation and production outcomes. Yet, few studies examine the tradeoffs associated with wildlife in agricultural systems. We examined bi...

Summary The codling moth [ Cydia pomonella L. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)] is the main pest in most apple orchards Syria. It causes billions of dollars loss fruit crops every year. present work examined effects gamma radiation and Bacillus thuringiensis (BT) on F 1 progeny C. pomonella. experimental design was based two factors, namely offspring produced by males irradiated at a dose 150 Gy, art...
