“…In another study, resistance to azinphosmethyl was reverted after only nine generations (Knight et al, 1994). Rapid and complete reversion of azinphosmethyl resistance was observed after 17 generations in the tufted apple bud moth, Platynota idaeusalis (Walker) (Bush et al, 1993b), and after five generations in the bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Bariola and Lingren, 1984). The laboratory studies may indicate that reversion of resistance might occur in field populations as the selection pressure inflicted by applied pesticides is diminished.…”

“…The codling moth Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lep., Tortricidae) is a widespread key pest of deciduous tree crops (apples, pears, walnut) throughout the world (Bariola and Lingren, 1984;Riedl et al, 1985). The pest in Israel has three generations per year, and in the majority of orchards, its control is based on the routine use of organophosphorus compounds (OPs), notably azinphosmethyl.…”

Resistance of the codling moth Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lep., Tortricidae) to the organophosphorus compound (OP) azinphosmethyl was observed in apple orchards in Israel. The level of resistance varied with the pest control strategy. Compared with a sensitive laboratory population, the resistance level was highest in insects from the preventative pest control strategy, intermediate in integrated pest management (IPM) orchards, and relatively low in the organic orchards. The level of azinphosmethyl resistance in larvae (but not in adults) exposed for 17 generations in the laboratory to a pesticide-free diet was reduced by 50%. Codling moth larvae resistant to azinphosmethyl were also resistant to various insect growth regulators (IGRs). The IGRs include three chitin synthesis inhibitors (diflubenzuron, novaluron and teflubenzuron), two juvenile hormone mimics (pyriproxyfen and fenoxycarb) and one ecdysone agonist (methoxyfenozide). Codling moth resistant to azinphosmethyl was tolerant to methoxyfenozide and novaluron without previous history of application in apple orchards, indicating the possibility of cross-resistance. According to this study, managing resistance programs in apple orchards should be based on IPM principles with minimum use of conventional neuroactive pesticides.

“…Adults.-There are fewer studies on Lepidoptera adults, although abamectin affects several aspects of adult life. Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) is one of the insects examined (Bariola, 1984;Bariola & Lingren, 1984). The use of pheromone traps to attract and poison insects is relatively common, but would abamectin be effective in such traps?…”

In a variety of laboratory and field experiments, avermectins have been tested against some 84 species of insects in ten orders, most of which are pests of livestock or horticultural crops or are of general nuisance value. This work is reviewed, comparing doses used, methods of application, and responses of the insects. Avermectins (abamectin and ivermectin) are toxic to almost all insects examined, although tolerance varies and death can be uncommonly slow, taking 24 h to 30 days. There is a marked absence of information on physiological processes that are affected by the pesticides, although at the cellular level they are thought to disrupt receptors for y-aminobutyric acid and glutamic acid in the central nervous system and muscular system. At high doses, treated insects are progressively immobilized, and although initially many can move when stimulated, this ability becomes lost. Some show a disturbed water balance and become distended with fluid, while others show disruption of moulting and metamorphosis. Feeding inhibition is commonly observed at sub-lethal doses. Avermectins affect many aspects of reproduction including mating behaviour, egg development, oviposition and egg hatching. The possibility is raised that these diverse disturbances are not all due to disruption of neuromuscular or central nervous system synapses, and the need for work in this area is stressed. Field studies have shown ivermectin to be most valuable in eradicating insect pests of livestock, but the use of abamectin against horticultural pests has produced less impressive results. The limited work on non-target species is discussed, and attention is drawn to some possible environmental consequences of excreted ivermectin on dung-breeding insects.

“…These limitations will necessitate a shift to alternate technologies, such as more selective insecticides, pheromone-based mating disruption (Charmillot 1990, Pfeiffer et al 1993, Judd et al 1997, and/or other pheromone-based methods, such as attract-and-kill. The combination of pheromones with insecticide has been proposed by a number of authors for a variety of pests (Butler andLas 1983, Bariola andLingren 1984) in an attempt to achieve enhanced levels of control over pheromone release alone. These reports have been complemented by studies investigating the effects of insecticide poisoning on pheromone-mediated behavior of the pink bollworm (Floyd and Crowder 1981, Haynes and Baker 1985, Haynes et al 1986, Miller et al 1990), the oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Linn and Roelofs 1984), and the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner) (Rider and Berger 1985).…”

A case study of a pheromone-based attract-and-kill management strategy for codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), was conducted to examine key insect behavioral factors mitigating the possible effectiveness of this strategy. Last Call CM is a newly registered attracticide product that combines the primary component of codling moth sex pheromone with the insecticide permethrin. Studies of competition between pheromone point sources within caged trees showed individual attracticide droplets were signiÞcantly more attractive to male moths than calling females. In commercial orchard blocks, marked male moths were recaptured after visiting attracticide droplets applied at rates of 50, 100, and 200 droplets/ha, although no marked moths were recaptured in plots with 500 droplets/ha. This experiment also revealed no signiÞcant differences among 0, 50, 100, and 200 droplets/ha in suppressing total catch in female-baited traps, nor were total numbers of females attracting at least one male reduced signiÞcantly. In plots with 500 droplets/ha applied, male moth catch was suppressed signiÞcantly compared with catches in untreated control plots, and the number of females attracting at least one male was reduced signiÞcantly as well. Experiments investigating sublethal physiological effects of attracticide exposure upon mating competency of male codling moths demonstrated male leg autotomy at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after exposure. Male codling moth at 1, 24, 48, and 72 h after exposure placed near calling virgin females exhibited signiÞcant behavioral differences from sham-treated males in courtship and mating. These results clarify some of the possible mechanisms, and strengths and weaknesses of this attract-and-kill management strategy for codling moth.
