“…Pomegranate and carob species now occur widely in different areas, both as cultivated and ornamental plants; therefore, it becomes important to determine which biotic factors contributed to this A. monachus infestation. In Turkey, A. monachus is also found on pomegranate, causing damage to the branches similar to that seen elsewhere (Özturk & Ulusoy 2006;Öztop et al 2010).…”

Bonsignore C.P. (2012): Apate monachus (Fabricius, 1775), a bostrichid pest of pomegranate and carob trees in nurseries -Short Communication. Plant Protect. Sci., 48: 94-97.The attacks of adult Apate monachus (Fabricius) on pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) and carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) trees in a plant nursery in southern Italy was described. The adult beetles produce circular holes and large sinuous tunnels on young trees that can involve the trunk and branches. The same plant can be affected by large numbers of such access holes. The adults appear during late June and reach a peak during the first three weeks of July. Given the increase in the spread of cultivation of these trees and, therefore, in the rate of spread of this pest species, further damage to crops is expected.

“…There are many pests that cause crop loss in pomegranates in Turkey and around in the world (Juan et al, 2004;Toledo & Albujer, 2005;Blumenfeld et al, 2007;Öztürk & Ulusoy, 2009). One of these species is the honeydew moth, Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Mill., 1867) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).…”

“…More recently, we observed increased symptoms of damage similar to Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann 1824 (Diptera, Tephritidae) attacks. C. capitata was reported as pomegranate pest in Turkey, Spain and other regions of the Mediterranean (Özturk et al, 2005;Özturk, and Ulusoy, 2009;Juan et al, 2000;Delrio and Cocco, 2012). Pomegranate cultivation and its potential yield are affected by many disorders like fruit cracking, fruit splitting and fruit drop.…”

In an attempt to find out the reasons of pomegranante fruit drop due to insect attacks, regular collection of all fallen fruits beneath trees of nine different varieties was done during the fruiting season from August 2013 to December 2013 in an organic pomegranate orchard in the Chott-Mariem region of Tunisia. Apparently heatlthy and cracked fruits were dissected in the laboratory to identify insect larvae found inside. Results indicate that fruits were attacked by three larvae insect species: the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata Wiedemann (Diptera, Tephritidae), the carob moth, Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae) and the pomegranate butterfly, Virachola livia Klug 1834 (Lepidoptera, Lycaenidae). Two different insect larvae can be found jointly inside fruits but no fruits were attacked by the three insect larvae together. All fruits varieties harbor the larvae of C. capitata whereas E. ceratoniae larvae were present in eight of nine varieties. Varieties numbered 1, 8 and 9 were free from V. livia larvae attacks and hence can be considered as resistant cultivars. With respect to Lepidoptera larvae attacks (E. ceratoniae and V. livia), we can assume Variety 1 as resistant. Nevertheless, more research was needed to corroborate these results.
