“…Mass trapping techniques have been used to successively suppress the populations of various Lepidoptera pest species [8,[23][24][25]. This is the first study to investigate the field efficacy of mass trapping using sex pheromones for the reduction of both adult and larval male E. grisescens populations.…”

Since the identification of the Ectropis grisescens sex pheromone, no effective control technology based on this pheromone has yet been developed and evaluated. In this study, pheromone proportion and dosage, sustained-release dispensers, and pheromone lure-matched traps were optimized. The mass trapping technology developed with the above optimized parameters was tested in a field trial. The results show that two compounds, (Z,Z,Z)-3,6,9-octadecatriene and (Z,Z)-3,9-cis-6,7-epoxy-octadecadiene, at a ratio of 30:70 and impregnated into rubber septa at 1 mg, were the most attractive to male moths. These compounds provided the best performance when combined with a sticky wing trap. Adult male moth monitoring data showed that there was a lower population density in the trapping plot compared with the control plot, and there was a clear difference during the peak adult occurrence of the first five insect generations in 2017. The effect of mass trapping on the larva population was investigated in 2018; the control efficiency reached 49.27% after trapping of one generation of adults and was further reduced to 67.16% after two successive adult moth generations, compared with the control plot. The results of the present study provide a scientific basis for the establishment of sex pheromone-based integrated pest management strategies.

“…In the field condition, P. ringoniella infested different leaf sites with different generations [2]. Li et al (2017) [13] also found the significant migration of P. ringoniella from lower to upper parts of the apple tree, and speculated the adult moth would prefer the fresh leaves, which are distributed in the higher position of the tree in late summer. However, in our study, the five leaves were newly emerged from the seedling at about the same time and offered little variation to base preference on.…”

“…The mines caused by P. ringoniella can reduce the photosynthetic areas, hasten defoliation, and inhibit the growth of new buds, which may cause premature ripening and fruit drop [3,9,10]. Phyllonorycter ringoniella overwinters as pupae inside the mine of defoliated leaves in October to November [11], and emerges from March to April in the following year [2,3,5,10,12,13]. Since 1950, many outbreaks of the pest happened in Japan after application of pesticides [12].…”

“…Only a few studies had dealt with the partial biology of P. ringoniella on temperature-dependent development, seasonal occurrences, and its mass flight activity [2,3,4,5,9,13,14,15]. Unfortunately, information on rearing methods of P. ringoniella —adult performances supplied with different diets, low temperature storage of pupae, and its morphologic characteristics at different stages, useful for further studies—was limited.…”

The Asiatic apple leaf miner, Phyllonorycter ringoniella (Matsumura), is an important insect pest to apples. We developed a rearing method for P. ringoniella in the laboratory. Overwintering pupae were collected from our apple orchard, and crabapple seedlings were selected as oviposition substrate and food source for the larval development. The mean developmental period was 25.9 ± 0.49 days from egg to adult and the survival rate was 0.387 under 25 ± 1 °C, 65 ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D) h. Mean egg length and egg width were 0.336 ± 0.0043 and 0.259 ± 0.0046 mm, respectively. Mean body length and head width increased from 1.070 ± 0.0245 and 0.180 ± 0.0021 mm in first instar larvae to 5.027 ± 0.0718 and 0.321 ± 0.0021 mm in fifth instar larvae, respectively. The mean weight of the pupae was 0.946 ± 0.0132 mg. The wingspan of male adult (6.280 ± 0.0639 mm) was significantly larger than female (6.040 ± 0.0753 mm). The mean fecundity (56.9 ± 8.58 eggs per female) and longevity (8.2 ± 0.55 days) of females was highest when they were provided with 10% honey solution, followed by 10% sugar, water, and control. The females preferred to lay eggs (56.5 ± 3.84%) near the secondary leaf vein in a leaf. The larval mortality increased linearly (R2 = 0.94) with the number of larvae per leaf. The mortality of pupae increased from 5.6 ± 4.01 to 51.1 ± 9.88% as storage periods at 4 °C increased from 0 to 105 days. The rearing method and its biological characteristics presented in this study will contribute to further studies on this pest insect.

“…For example, apple aphids ( Aphis pomi ) are mainly harmful to roots or young shoots and young leaves at the upper and lower parts of the plant, whereas Oriental fruit moths (Grapholita molesta) mainly harm fruit stems and fruits and cause fruit drop . Apple leaf roller moth ( Pandemis heparana ) and apple leaf miners ( Lyonetia clerkella ) damage trees by feeding on upper young or lower mature leaves . It is therefore crucial to choose the most suitable pesticide application time and spraying method to achieve accurate killing of target pests.…”

BACKGROUND: Neonicotinoid insecticides (NIs) have been recently banned in some countries because of increased pest resistance and deleterious risks to non-target organisms. Recent studies considered all parts of crops as a whole part in plant protection. However, there are few reports focused on the distribution and metabolic trends of NIs on target feeding sites of different pests in apple orchards. RESULTS:The spatial and temporal distribution, absorption, degradation, and metabolism of three NIs, imidacloprid, acetamiprid, and thiamethoxam, on different parts of apple trees were studied under foliar spray and root irrigation treatments. In the spray treatment, the initial average concentration ratios (TCRs) were 31.6% for lower shoots, 23.3% for upper leaves, 23.2% for upper shoots, 21.0% for lower leaves, and 0.5% and 0.4% for upper and lower fruits, respectively. The average half-lives of the three NIs were 2.9 days for shoots, 7.4 days for leaves, and 10.8 days for fruits. The degradation rate of shoots was 2.5 times that of leaves, and 3.6 times that of fruits. Imidacloprid olefin and N-methyl acetamiprid were two of the main metabolites. In the root treatment, both roots and soils had high TCRs during the whole sampling period. Only imidacloprid was transmitted to above-ground parts of the plants, with TCRs of 0.38-50.94%.CONCLUSION: This study found significant differences in spatial and temporal distribution, degradation, metabolism, and trends of NIs on different pest target sites of apple trees. The data obtained may help promote scientific control of target pests and evaluation of safety for non-target species in orchards.
