“…Acetic acid is typically present in sugary baits (Utrio & Erikson, ) and has been directly used with ethanol in liquid bait traps in China (He, Qin, & Zhu, ). However, the use of acetic acid colures with plant volatiles has not previously been effective with G. molesta (Knight, Hilton, Basoalto, & Steliniski, ). Studies with traps baited with a combination of terpinyl acetate and acetic acid have not been previously reported.…”

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.

“…Several common pome fruit volatiles typically released by healthy or insect‐infested fruit and/or foliage in combination with acetic acid have been evaluated as attractants for P. pyrusana and several other key tortricid pests . Volatiles previously tested included ethyl ( E , Z )‐2,4‐decadienoate (pear ester), ( E )‐ β ‐farnesene, ( E )‐4,8‐dimethyl‐1,3,7‐nonatriene (DMNT), ( Z )‐3‐hexenyl acetate and ( E , E )‐farnesol.…”

“…Only pear ester and ( E , E )‐farnesol significantly increased total moth catch (a mix of P. pyrusana and another tortricid leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana Harris) when added to traps baited with acetic acid. Subsequently, traps baited with pear ester, DMNT, butyl hexanoate or ( E )‐ β ‐ocimene each in binary combination with acetic acid did not catch significantly more P. pyrusana than traps baited with acetic acid alone . Nevertheless, a novel approach using traps baited with ( E , E )‐8,10‐dodecadien‐1‐ol, the sex pheromone of codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., pear ester and acetic acid together was evaluated as a technique for simultaneous monitoring of codling moth and P. pyrusana .…”

“…As for other tortricids, lures containing AA have been reported to attract Choristoneura rosaceana Harris, Pandemis pyrusana Kearfott and Spilonota ocellana Den. and Schiff., and the presence or absence of PE did not seem to influence catches (Knight et al, 2014).…”

The present research was undertaken to screen for field activity of ethyl-(E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate (pear ester, PE), acetic acid (AA) and the blend of this two components (PEAA) at locations, where high diversity of microlepidopteran species was presumed. By tendency of relative catches, microlepidopterans captured could be divided into two groups: in the first group the PEAA blend resulted in higher catches than single components (Hedya nubiferana, Ypsolopha scabrella and Notocelia trimaculana), while in the second group (Archips rosana, A. xylosteana, Ptycholoma lecheana and Tortrix viridana) only the presence of AA was responsible for attractivity.In all species, both male and female specimens were caught. This result indicates a potential way to optimise female-targeted lures based on PEAA or AA for all these microlepidopterans that are all recorded as pests. On the other hand, the capture of the above moths in the traps raises the need for some taxonomic knowledge in evaluating captures in PEAA-baited traps currently use in agricultural practice for codling moth monitoring.
