Summary

Mating disruption effectively controls grape moths, reducing pesticide needs. Using pheromones for both European vine moth (Lobesia botrana) and honeydew moth (Cryptoblabes gnidiella) eliminated insecticide use in wine grapes.

Area of Science:

  • Viticulture
  • Entomology
  • Pest Management

Background:

  • Grape growers hesitate to adopt mating disruption for European vine moth (Lobesia botrana) due to the presence of honeydew moth (Cryptoblabes gnidiella).
  • Concerns exist that mating disruption alone may not significantly reduce overall pesticide application when other pests coexist.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of mating disruption against Cryptoblabes gnidiella.
  • To assess the impact of mating disruption on pesticide use and grape cluster damage when targeting both Lobesia botrana and Cryptoblabes gnidiella.

Main Methods:

  • Field trials comparing three treatments: L. botrana mating disruption, combined L. botrana and C. gnidiella mating disruption, and control plots.
  • Monitoring of moth infestation levels in grape clusters across all treatment groups.

  • Quantification of insecticide applications required for each treatment plot.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant reduction in moth-infested clusters was observed in pheromone-treated plots compared to control plots.
    • No significant difference in infestation reduction was found between plots treated with one pheromone versus plots treated with both.
    • Insecticide applications were highest in control plots, lower in L. botrana-only treated plots, and zero in plots treated with pheromones for both pests.

    Conclusions:

    • Mating disruption is effective in controlling both European vine moth and honeydew moth in vineyards.
    • Targeting both pests with mating disruption pheromones can eliminate the need for insecticide applications.
    • This integrated pest management approach offers a sustainable solution for grape growers.
