“…Other male moths show no sign of repellency to permethrin incorporated into pheromone-based attracticide at rates of 1 and 10% for Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) (Haynes et al, 1986) and 3 -18% for Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (Nansen & Phillips, 2004). Attracticide formulations containing the same 6% concentration of permethrin as tested here are as attractive as formulations with only pheromone to three tortricid moths: Choristoneura rosaceana Harris, Pandemis pyrusana Kearfott (Curkovic & Brunner, 2006), and Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Evenden & McLaughlin, 2004b) in wind tunnel and field bioassays.…”

“…Similarly, male P. interpunctella exposed to attracticide formulations with a touch bioassay show high mortality rates 24 h posttreatment to formulations containing ≥6% permethrin. It still remains to be determined whether flying male C. fraxinella will alight on attracticide droplets and whether exposure after landing (Haynes et al, 1986;Evenden & McLaughlin, 2004b) will be sufficient to induce mortality at levels similar to that found in the laboratory bioassay.

A biodegradable attracticide formulation containing the pyrethroid insecticide permethrin and the sex pheromone of the ash leaf cone roller, Caloptilia fraxinella (Ely) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), was tested for attractiveness and toxicity to males of this invasive pest of horticultural ash, Fraxinus spp. Marsh. (Oleaceae). Trap capture in attracticide-baited traps was equal to capture in traps baited with rubber septa lures releasing the known attractive pheromone. Pheromone response by male C. fraxinella was not affected by the presence of permethrin as equal numbers of males were captured in traps baited with the attracticide formulation with and without permethrin. Attraction to the attracticide containing both pheromone and insecticide active ingredients did not vary with dose as 10, 50, and 100 mg droplets of the formulation attracted similar numbers of male moths in a field experiment. Equal numbers of male moths were captured in traps baited with droplets that had aged for 0 -5 weeks in a laboratory fume hood before deployment in the field. The permethrin constituent of the attracticide formulation was toxic to male moths treated through tarsal contact and resulted in 73 and 100% mortality at 24 and 72 h post-treatment, respectively. Leg autotomy occurred in over 80% of males 24 h post-treatment to formulations containing permethrin. Mortality of moths was greater 24 h after treatment with a fresh attracticide source as compared to a 5-week-old source. However, mortality as a result of treatment with fresh and aged attracticide droplets was equal at 48, 72, and 96 h post-treatment. This formulation has the potential to become a useful tool in an integrated pest-management system for C. fraxinella on horticultural ash.

“…and pome ( Malus domestica Borkhausen, and Pyrus spp.) fruits and now includes the use of hand‐applied dispensers, aerosols, sprayables and attract and kill formulations (De Lame & Gut, ; Evenden & McLaughlin, ; Il’ichev, Stelinski, Williams, & Gut, ; Knight, Light, Pickel, Kovanci, & Molinari, ; Kovanci, Schal, Walgenbach, & Kennedy, ; Steliniski, Gut, Haas, McGhee, & Epstein, ; Steliniski et al., ; Trimble, Pree, Barszez, & Carter, ; Vickers, Rothschild, & Jones, ). A key component in the management of this important pest, as with other tortricid tree fruit pests, is effective monitoring to establish both action thresholds and to time supplementary insecticide treatments under either conventional or certified organic practices (Charmillot & Vickers, ; Knight & Light, ,b).…”

Male and female moth catches of Grapholita molesta (Busck) in traps were evaluated in stone and pome fruit orchards untreated or treated with sex pheromones for mating disruption in Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, USA, and Italy from 2015 to 2017. Trials evaluated various blends loaded into either membrane cup lures or septa. Membrane lures were loaded with terpinyl acetate (TA), acetic acid (AA) and (Z)‐3‐hexenyl acetate alone or in combinations. Two septa lures were loaded with either the three‐component sex pheromone blend for G. molesta alone or in combination with codlemone (2‐PH), the sex pheromone of Cydia pomonella (L). A third septum lure included the combination sex pheromone blend plus pear ester, (E,Z)‐2,4‐ethyl decadienoate (2‐PH/PE), and a fourth septum was loaded with only β‐ocimene. Results were consistent across geographical areas showing that the addition of β‐ocimene or (Z)‐3‐hexenyl acetate did not increase moth catches. The addition of pear ester to the sex pheromone lure marginally increased moth catches. The use of TA and AA together significantly increased moth catches compared with the use of only one of the two components. Traps with the TA/AA lure outperformed the Ajar trap baited with a liquid TA plus sugar bait. The emission rate of AA was not a significant factor affecting the performance of the TA/AA lure. The addition of TA/AA significantly increased moth catches when combined with the 2‐PH lure. The TA/AA lure also allowed traps to catch both sexes. Catch of C. pomonella with the 2‐PH lure was comparable to the use of codlemone; however, moth catch was significantly reduced with the 2‐PH/PE lure. Optimization of these complex lures can likely further improve managers’ ability to monitor G. molesta and help to develop multispecies tortricid lures for use in individual traps.

“…The 2.0 s contact in the bioassays conducted here clearly limited the types of insecticide that would be effective. Synthetic pyrethroids and naturally derived pyrethrins are known for having rapid ‘knockdown’ mortality for various insects, including Lepidoptera,16, 23, 24 so the effectiveness of these active ingredients against P. interpunctella adult males in the present 2.0 s contact bioassays was not unexpected.…”

“…This same type of insecticide gel formulation was also effective against adult males of Grapholita molesta (Busck. )16 with that species' pheromone. However, the attract‐and‐kill gel formulation required a high‐density application rate, and field persistence of the attractant in the gel was limited.…”
