“…Shorter development times and higher reproduction rates of insects on a host plant indicate better suitability ( van Lenteren and Noldus 1990). The mean larval period was 17.0 d on potato tubers, which is close to the value reported by Sporleder et al (2004) for Peruanita cultivar (16.7 d). However, our results are consistent with Golizadeh and Razmjou (2010) in which larval period on tubers of Agria and Marfona was reported 15.3 and 13.8 d, respectively, that were shorter than 19.1 and 16.5 d on respective potato cultivars in current study.…”

The potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a noxious pest of the potato crop (Solanum tuberosum L.) in both field and storage in tropical and subtropical regions. Survival, development and reproduction of the potato tuberworm was compared on leaves and tubers of 10 common cultivated potato cultivars including Agria, Agata, Almera, Arinda, Baneba, Fiana, Marfona, Ramus, Satina, and Volvox at 25 +/- 1 degree C, 65 +/- 5% RH and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D) h. The results indicated that there were significant differences in the larval, pupal, and total developmental periods on the various potato cultivars. The total developmental periods varied from 26.6 (on Baneba) to 29.5 d (on Marfona),and ranged from 27.9 (on Marfona) to 30.5 d (on Agria) in the experiments on potato leaves and tubers, respectively. Immature survival rates were lowest on Agria (44.1%) and Marfona (40.6%) on potato leaves and tubers, respectively. The highest total fecundity was observed on Arinda (78.3 eggs) and Ramus (154.8 egg) on potato leaves and tubers, respectively. Significantly fewer eggs were laid on Marfona cultivar's leaves (44.6 eggs) and tubers (72.9 eggs) than any of the other tested potato cultivars. The female reproduction potential on potato leaves was significantly lower than on potato tubers. Cluster analysis of the biological parameters of P. operculella on different potato cultivars demonstrated that Marfona is partially resistant to potato tuberworm. The findings on the susceptibility or resistance of potato cultivars could be a fundamental component of integrated pest management programs for potato tuberworm.

“…The potato tuber moth (PTM) Phthorimaea operculella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is one of the most prominent pests of potato in subtropical and tropical regions (Sporleder et al 2004;Rafiee-Dastjerdi et al 2013) such as Iran. Non-chemical control of the pest is important.…”

The potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella is a serious pest of potato both in the field and storage that makes great problem in storage. Farmers routinely rely on chemical insecticides that could be hazardous for human health and environment. Insecticide resistance of P. operculella has been reported all over the world, so botanical origin materials may serve as proper alternative materials for controlling the pest. Natural products are generally preferred because of they are less harmful to non-target organisms, eco-friendly and biodegradable. In the present study, ovicidal activity of essential oils (EOs) of basil, European pennyroyal, lavender, mint, oregano and savoury and oviposition-deterrent activity of methanolic extracts of fumitory, lavender, licorice and oregano were investigated on P. operculella. Probit analysis showed that EOs of Lavandula angustifolia revealed the highest activity (LC 50 value 0.4 μL/L air). Fumitory extract elicited the highest reduction in percentage of laying eggs. The results indicated that these medicinal plants could be effective for declining damage of P. operculella in storages.

“…Schnabel and Mercier (2006) indicated the importance for containment of the M. albus volatiles for good efficacy in cold storage. PTM populations increase within a temperature range of 10-35°C, with an optimum at 28-30°C (Sporleder et al, 2004). In quantitative studies conducted by Sporleder et al (2004), larval survival under constant rearing conditions ranged from 14.8% at 10.6°C to 88.5% at 26.3°C.…”

Other than the 7 days at 10 and 15°C, our 27°C post-treatment incubation conditions were close to the optimum reported by Sporleder et al (2004). The stress associated with holding larvae in a confined space with increasing CO 2 was apparent in control larvae after 7 days, but especially after 14 days when compared to optimal conditions reported by Sporleder et al (2004).…”
