Releases of Unsexed Gamma-Irradiated Codling Moths for Population Suppression 123

Journal of Economic Entomology (1969)

L. D. White R. B. Hutt B. A. Butt

Release of unsexed sterile Laspeyresia pomonella (L). and 1 prerelease spray of parathion, reduced fruit injury in a small orchard from about 50% in 1965 to 1.57% in 1966. The adult moths were sterilized (at 4°C by 40 krad from Co60), marked, and released 6 days per week from May 16 to Sept. 14. Approximately 60,000 moths were released in the orchard, a semi-isolated block of 24 apple and 5 pear trees at Yakima, Washington. This procedure resulted in an average ratio of 23 sterile: I native male as measured by sex and light traps.

Arrest and Aggregation of MaleMyzus persicae(Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Annals of the Entomological Society of America (1970)

George Tamaki B. A. Butt B. J. Landis

Male green peach aphids, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), preferred to feed on and to stay longer on peach twigs than on pear, apple, or apricot twigs. However, if extract of peach buds (host plant on which the aphid overwinters) was applied to apple twigs (not a host plant), more males preferred the treated than the untreated twigs. Also, apple twigs treated with live or dead oviparae, virginoparae, or males of M. periscae or with virginoparae of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris), (glued on) attracted more males than untreated twigs. The males always preferred twigs with live oviparae of M. persicae to those with other aphid morphs, but they showed no significant differences in preference for twigs treated with crushed oviparae, mummified aphids, or dead virginoparae of M. persicae, compared with untreated apple twigs. In the absence of females, males made numerous false mating attempts with other males.

Codling Moths: Suppression of Populations from Releases of Sterile Insects in the Wenas Valley of Washington, 19721

Journal of Economic Entomology (1976)

L. D. White B. A. Butt H. R. Moffitt R. B. Hutt R. G. Winterfeld

Population estimates for native Laspeyresia pomonella (L.) are based on infested fruit. Orchards (419 acres) produced an estimated 21,025 larvae during the season notwithstanding the total release of 1.8 million males and females irradiated with 30 krad of gamma irradiation and removal of infested fruit. Trapping data indicated critically low ratios of sterile: native males (<20:1) in various areas of the release orchards during at least 7 weekly trapping periods. A 3-yr comparison of the numbers of native males trapped indicated a 93% population reduction throughout the valley and 63% within the 3 major commercial orchards. The principal causative factors for this reduction are chemical sprays and removal of abandoned host trees. Although the sterile-insect-technique limited the potential growth of the codling moth population, a 1972 harvest infestation in the Northwestern-Longmire orchard of 0.129% compared to 0.002% for 1971 indicated the need for modifications of the program or alternative control measures.

Green Peach Aphid Control, 1976

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests (1977)

B. A. Butt L. V. Lydin

Abstract 'U&l Hybrid 8' sugarbeers were planted May 12, 1976, in Ritzville silt loam at Yakima, WA, in plots 6 rows wide and 50 ft long. The plants were irrigated with sprinklers that provided 1/2 in of water/hr. Four plots were treated on June 11 and July 9 with each material applied at a rate of 40 gpa (60 psi) through D2-13 TEEJET hollowcone nozzles mounted 11 in apart on a rearmounted boom sprayer fitted to a JD-420 tractor travelling at 2.75 mph. Ortho X-77 spreader was used with all materials. The boom height was adjusted to provide optimum coverage of the foliage as the plants grew. At 3 days and then each week after treatment aphids were counted on 25 leaves from each plot.

Sex Pheromone of the Codling Moth: Structure and Synthesis

Science (1972)

L. M. McDonough Donald A. R. George B. A. Butt John M. Ruth Kenneth R. Hill

The structure of a sex pheromone of the codling moth. Laspeyresia pomonella (L.), has been determined by spectrometric and chemical degradative techniques and by synthesis to be (2Z, 6E)-7-methyl-3-propyl-2,6-decadien-1-ol. In field cage tests the synthesized sex pheromone was as attractive as the natural, but neither was as attractive as ten virgin females per trap.
