“…A new colony (1974A colony) of codling moths was begun with eggs from a strain that had been in colonization for 34 generations (1974 colony) under our standard regime (Hamilton and Hathaway 1966;Hathaway 1967;Hathaway i t a/. 1972;Hutt et a / .…”

Eggs from a laboratory colony that had been in colonization for 34 generations at 25° ± 2 °C and 60% ± 10% R.H. were planted on thinning apples and held at temperatures ranging from 19.4 °C at night to 33.3 °C during the day. Humidity fluctuated freely with temperature changes. Then equal numbers of adults from the 1st generation of the fluctuating temperature colony and of adults from the 35th generation of the constant temperature colony were released. In a second series of tests, equal numbers of gamma irradiated (25 kr gamma irradiated) and unirradiated adults from the 2nd and 3rd generations of the fluctuating temperature colony and irradiated (25 kr) and unirradiated adults from the 36th and 37th generations of the constant temperature colony were released There were no statistical differences in recaptures of the 1st generation of the fluctuating temperature colony and the 35th generation of the constant temperature colony. Recaptures of the 2nd and 3rd generations of the fluctuating temperature colony were significantly greater than recaptures of the 36th and 37th generations of the constant temperature colony.

The codling moth, Cydia pomonella Linnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is an economically important pest of apple trees in Turkey and also in worldwide. The aim of this study was to report a continuous rearing method on green immature apples (Malus domestica cv. 'Gala') for C. pomonella and fundamental information of its biology. The experiments were conducted from 2017 to 2019 under the laboratory conditions. Eggs were laid individually or disorderly in small masses on the oviposition substrate in the adult cages. Adult food had a positive effect on the number of eggs laid per female and egg viability. Larvae developed through five instars based on head capsule measurements. Larval development was completed in 15.89±0.25 days. Survival rate of larvae ranged from 24.1% and 92.6% based on larval density per apple. The duration of pupal development was 8.90±0.10 days with 87.5% adult emergence. The life cycle was completed on average in 29.5±0.3 days. Adult longevity was 12.2±0.60 days for females and 16.7±1.90 days for males. A single female laid about 12.3 eggs/day and a total of 85-200 eggs with 83.9% viability. The codling moth has been reared continuously in the laboratory for two years with no evidence of disease in the colony.

“…Commercial use of the so-called sterile male technique for control of the codling moth, Carpocapsa pommella (L.), largely hinges on the development of an economical diet and semi-automated procedures for mass-rearing the insect. The codling moth has been successfully cultured on semisynthetic diets (Redfern 1964;Hamilton and Hathaway 1966;Howell 1967;Rock 1967) in which agar gel was used to bind the nutritional ingredients together. These agar-based diets are satisfactory if small food containers are used, but with large containers, which are desirable for mass-rearing, we experienced very inconsistent results.…”

ARTIFICIAL DIET FOR MASS PRODUCTION OF THE CODLING MOTH, CARPOCAPSA POMONELLA (LEPIDOPTERA: OLETHREUTIDAE)

An artificial diet for rearing the codling moth is described. It is a modification of a casein–wheat germ diet that was initially developed for the cabbage looper. Agar was replaced by a mixture of wood sawdust, wheat flour, and wood pulp. Growth of microorganisms was controlled by sorbic acid and aureomycin, and by lowering the pH of the diet to 3.5 with citric acid. Production cost for dietary ingredients was about $1/1000 moths. The moths were slightly smaller than those reared on apple. When confined in cages, the sterilized diet-reared moths were somewhat less competitive than the apple-reared insects. However, sterilized diet-reared male moths released in an apple orchard dispersed more rapidly than sterilized apple-reared males.
