“…Local identifications of sex pheromones for New Zealand in the 1980s primarily focussed on the native torticid leafrollers that were pests of horticulture and related species (Galbreath et al 1985;Young et al 1985;Foster & Roelofs 1987;Foster et al 1990;Clearwater et al 1991;Foster & Dugale 1991;Foster et al 1993). A lack of commercial availability led to the development of pheromone lures and trap products for a range of horticultural pest species and sales from the late 1980s by the then government organisation, the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research.…”

The sale of pheromone traps lures and mating disruption products for horticultural insect pest species has grown steadily since the late 1980s with expanding sales to New Zealand growers from Plant Food Research (PFR) and its predecessors New biosecurity incursions led to pheromone identifications for delimitation and pest management of other species Mating disruption products were developed to target leafrollers currant clearwing codling moth and oriental fruit moth In 201011 the activity involved with production of > 30 pheromone products was sold as a business unit by PFR to a New Zealand company In addition the first legislative group standard for plant protection products was drawn up to enable future development of straightchained lepidopteran sex pheromones under New Zealands Environmental Protection Authority The availability of pheromone products to assist with decision support and pest management is now subject to market forces

“…E. postvittana was also obtained as dried cadavers from laboratory parasitised larvae (7-14 days postemergence of parasitoid). Field populations of all species, with the exception of P. notophaea(which is rare in orchards), were obtained from pheromone-trapped male moths (Suckling and Shaw 1990;Foster et al 1993), stored frozen on the sticky bases and then scraped off immediately prior to use.…”

Immature life stages of fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) and leafroller moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) can not be readily distinguished by phenotype. The need to identify these groups originated for different primary reasons but identification has been achieved using a common molecular approach. Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) detected in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified ribosomal DNA (rDNA) provides a rapid diagnostic test for several of these species across a broad taxonomic range, irrespective of life stage or tissue quality. Application of this technique to identify fruit fly specimens intercepted at the border and parasitised leafroller cadavers in the field is presented.

“…Because C. jactatana is not present in any of the countries that import New Zealand horticultural crops, it is considered a quarantine pest (Steven 1990). Foster et al (1993) identified the female sex pheromone for C. jactatana, and Ochieng '-Odero & Singh (1992) and Jiménez-Pérez & Wang (2001) have provided useful information on the biology of this species. However, there has been no report on its adult activity patterns, making the development of behaviour-based and environmentally friendly control tactics difficult.…”

The New Zealand leafroller Cnephasia jactatana Walker is an important pest of kiwifruit. Larvae of this species feed on dead or live plant tissues and damage the surface of the fruit or burrow deep into the flesh. To provide important information for the development of adult monitoring and control methods, we studied circadian rhythms and lifespan activity patterns of C. jactatana. The investigation was carried out at 20 ± 2°C, 75 ± 10% RH and a photoperiod of 16:8 h light:dark. Females needed a significantly longer time to complete their life cycle than males. Most moths emerged during the photophase. On a circadian basis, courtship activity peaked 3 and 6 h into scotophase; mating peaked 4-6 h into scotophase and most ovipositions occurred in the first 2 h of scotophase. In the lifespan of this species, male courtship display started 2 days after emergence and peaked 1 day later; mating and oviposition peaked 3 and 7 days after emergence, respectively. Most females initiated oviposition 1 day after mating.
