Use of Ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate in Codling Moth Management: Kairomone Species Specificity

摘要: Ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate (pear ester) is a kairomonal attractant for both male and female codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), in apple, pear walnut. Studies were conducted the western Untied States to evaluate potential attractiveness of this kairomone eight lepidopteran pests these three crops, as well as, cherry, peach/nectarine, apricot, plum, almond, pistachio, grape, kiwi, citrus. The ester was loaded (10.0 mg) into gray halobutyl septa insects monitored with diamond- or delta-shaped sticky traps. Lures not attractive peach twig borer, Anarsia lineatella (Zeller); oriental fruit molesta (Busck); omnivorous leafroller, Platynota stultana Walshingham; navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Walker); apple fruitworm, Lacanobia subjuncta (Grote & Robinson); pandemis Pandemis pyrusana (Kearfott); obliquebanded Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris); tentiform leafminer, Phyllonorycter mespiella (Huebner). Additional studies C. populations attacking would be useful.
