Summary

Methoxyfenozide, an ecdysteroid agonist, significantly reduces male codling moth (Cydia pomonella) attraction to pheromone and kairomone lures. This finding impacts pest monitoring strategies in orchards using these insecticides.

Area of Science:

  • Entomology
  • Insect Behavior
  • Pest Management

Background:

  • Codling moth (Cydia pomonella) is a major pest in apple and pear orchards.
  • Methoxyfenozide is an ecdysteroid agonist used to control Lepidoptera.
  • Monitoring codling moth populations is crucial for effective pest management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of methoxyfenozide exposure on the responsiveness of male codling moths to synthetic sex pheromone (codlemone) and kairomone (pear ester) lures.
  • To evaluate the impact of methoxyfenozide on the efficacy of commercially available codling moth monitoring lures.

Main Methods:

  • Wind tunnel experiments were conducted with male codling moths.
  • Moths were exposed to surfaces treated with methoxyfenozide and a surfactant.
  • Responsiveness to five different types of codling moth lures (varying in codlemone and pear ester content) was assessed.

Main Results:

  • Male codling moths exposed to methoxyfenozide-treated surfaces showed a significant decrease in attraction to both codlemone and pear ester lures.
  • The presence of methoxyfenozide interfered with the moths' response to olfactory cues used in monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • Methoxyfenozide significantly reduces the responsiveness of male codling moths to pheromone and kairomone lures.
  • Current codling moth monitoring practices in orchards treated with ecdysone agonists may be compromised.
  • Further research is needed to understand the full implications for pest monitoring and management strategies.
