Control of Moth Pests by Mating Disruption: Successes and Constraints

Abstract: 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). How synthetic disruptant interrupts normal orientation is uncertain, but the most probable mechanisms invoke adaptation and habituation, competition between point sources of formulat… Show more

“…To the best of our knowledge, no mating disruption or courting disruption among B. tabaci adults on oil-treated leaves has been reported, although pheromone or pheromone analogs for a variety of insect species [42][43][44][45] for release over wide areas and sprayable microencapsulated sex pheromone formulation sprays 46) are available. In conclusion, for best results, we recommend acetylated glyceride (0.2%, v/v) treatment two or three consecutive times at approximately 7-day intervals, when B. tabaci adults have not appeared or are at a low density in the greenhouse.…”

“…In addition, secondary pests can often emerge as important problems. 120) Monitoring success of the experiments is often difficult and sometimes inconsistent, since possible reduction in trap catches in pheromone-treated blocks may not be corresponded with egg mass densities and damage produced by larvae of the next generation. [125][126][127][128] There has been considerable debate about the mechanisms underlying mating disruption, 129,130) although there is general agreement now that more than one mechanism may be operational at the same time and that they may vary between species.…”

“…adult density. High population densities may favor mating by the increase in competition among calling females and synthetic pheromone dispensers, by reducing the distance among adults, increasing the likelihood of casual mating and consequently, less time spent searching for females 19 . As we worked with a fixed number of traps simulating calling females, with a high male population, the chances of localizing females or traps would be greater.…”
