Relationship between efficacy of mating disruption and gypsy moth density [PDF]

International Journal of Pest Management, 2019
Mating disruption tactics involve the deployment of pheromones to interfere with mate finding behaviors in insect populations. This management strategy is the dominant one used against expanding gypsy moth populations in the United States, and ...

Reduction in an almond mothEphestia cautella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) population by means of mating disruption [PDF]

Pest Management Science, 2006
Pheromone-based mating disruption of the almond moth (Ephestia cautella) (Walk.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was carried out in a chocolate factory in Sweden. Population monitoring was conducted with pheromone-baited traps and water traps.

When mating disruption does not disrupt mating: fitness consequences of delayed mating in moths

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 2012
AbstractThe goals of pheromone‐mediated mating disruption are to interfere with mate finding, suppress insect population growth, and prevent crop damage. In addition to prevention of mating, pheromone treatment can also result in a delay of mating so that the fitness and subsequent population dynamics of the target insect pest are impacted.

Gypsy moth mating disruption: Dosage effects

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1988
Small (1-hectare) plots in a dense gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) infestation were treated with 5, 50, or 500 g racemic disparlure, and effects on male trap catch and mating behavior were studied. Capture of males in traps baited with 1, 10, 100, or 1000 μg (+)-disparlure declined as disruptant dosages increased.

Disruption of Gypsy Moth Mating with Microencapsulated Disparlure

Science, 1974
Broadcast applications of microencapsulated disparlure at rates of 2.5 to 15.0 grams per hectare are capable of reducing successful mating of wild gypsy moths under field conditions. In test plots, population densities were as high as 32 pairs of pupae in an area of about 700 square meters.

Mating Disruption in European Vineyards

1997
The 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, 2020
A 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

1997
The 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 for the 21st Century: Matching Technology With Mechanism

Environmental Entomology, 2015
Progress 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, 1995
Male 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).
