e1“Mating disruption alone and mating disruption supplemented with limited applications of either azinphos‐methyl or fenoxycarb was evaluated in 0.11–0.30 ha plots for the control of codling moth Cydia pomonella (L.) (Tortricidae: Olethreutinae) populations”
e2“Where populations were low, mating disruption alone was sufficient to keep codling moth damage levels below 1% at harvest”
Title
Control of codling moth in small plots by mating disruption: alone and with limited insecticide
R. A. Vickers; W. G. Thwaite; D. G. Williams; et al. Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 1998. doi:10.1046/j.1570-7458.1998.00285.x
Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect Mating disruption alone, with or without limited azinphos-methyl or fenoxycarb, did not give commercially acceptable control except in low density populations.
- Intervention effect Drift of azinphos-methyl from border areas gave excellent codling moth control in the first year at the high density site.
- Mechanism Low dosages of insecticide and pheromone treatments appear to interact so that the insecticide enhances the disruptive effect of pheromone.
