Mating Disruption in European Vineyards
1997The tortricids Lobesia botrana and Eupoecilia ambiguella are the most important pests of European vineyards. Larvae feed on the grape berries, reducing their yield and rendering them susceptible to gray mold, Botrytis cinerea. Generally, two generations are observed, but in Lobesia botrana under favorable conditions there may be even three or four ...

Disruption of male mating strategies in a chemically compromised environment
Science of The Total Environment, 2020A leading source of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the environment is run-off of veterinary pharmaceuticals used in agriculture, including hormonal growth promotants (HGPs). Despite being banned in various countries, HGP use is still common in beef production around the world.

Mating Disruption of the Codling Moth
1997The codling moth, Cydia pomonella, is the most important pest in pome fruit orchards in Europe, North and South America, South Africa, and Australia (Chapman 1973). The codling moth assumed key pest status where control with broad-spectrum insecticides has reduced the beneficials and created secondary phytophagous mite problems. Mating disruption using

Mating Disruption by Vibrational Signals: State of the Field and Perspectives
2019Until a few years ago, the concept of mating disruption had been exclusively associated with the use of pheromones to reduce population density of insect pests. Since the early 2000s, a novel approach has been proposed to the scientific community: vibrational mating disruption (VMD).

Mating Disruption for the 21st Century: Matching Technology With Mechanism
Environmental Entomology, 2015Progress toward proof of the principal cause of insect mating disruption under a particular set of conditions has been hindered by a lack of logical rigor and clean falsifications of possible explanations. Here we make the case that understanding of mating disruption and optimization of particular formulations can be significantly advanced by rigorous ...

Control of Moth Pests by Mating Disruption: Successes and Constraints
Annual Review of Entomology, 1995Male moths generally find their mates by following the females' pheromone plume to its source. A formulated copy of this message is used to regulate mating of many important pests, including the pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella), the oriental fruit moth (Grapholita molesta), and the tomato pinworm (Keiferia lycopersicella).

Mechanisms of Mating Disruption in Moths
1997Insect control (population regulation) by the use of synthetic semiochemicals to disrupt normal mating behavior is now operational for a number of species of Lepidoptera. But, although there have been successes, there have also been failures. Moreover, in some instances a previously successful operation has subsequently failed.

Courtship Disruptions and Male Mating Strategies: Examples from Female‐Defense Mating Systems
The American Naturalist, 1999Males frequently interrupt the copulation attempts of other males, and these courtship disruptions may limit the extent to which a few males are able to monopolize mating access to females. Males actively defend sexually receptive females in many species in which females form dense aggregations during the breeding season. Across and within such species

Mating disruption of the pine processionary caterpillar by pityolure
Phytoparasitica, 1985Mating disruption obtained by the release of pityolure at 1 or 3.6 g/ha from rubber and cardboard dispensers, largely prevented oviposition by the moths of the pine processionary caterpillar (Thaumetopoea wilkinsoni Tarns). However, as the prolonged flight period of the moths necessitates repeated pheromone application, it is doubtful whether mating ...
