Technical Bulletin TechnicalInformation Technology Bulletin Solutionsfor: Barred Fruit Tree Tortrix Pandemis cerasana (Hübner) • Lepidoptera: Tortricidae • PANCER Iberian Peninsula to Ural Mountains and Caucasus, Siberia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, DISTRIBUTION China, Asia Minor and Iran. Introduced to North America Various deciduous trees and shrubs, including fruit trees such as apple, pear, hazelnut, HOSTS currant, blackberry, raspberry, cherry and plum. DESCRIPTION The wingspan can reach 16–25 mm Forewings ground color ranges from pale ocher yellow to greyish brown with a large dark chestnut brown V marking and a dark brown lateral spot. The Adult outer margin of forewings is sinuous, slightly oblique. The hind wings are almost uniform greyish brown. Larvae Larvae can reach a length of about 20 mm. They are light green, thin and flattened. Eggs In western Europe these moths fly from June to August, mainly from dusk into the night. This species has two generations a year, the second-generation larva being the winter form. Eggs are deposited in batches on leaves or branches, hatching a few weeks after oviposition. Larvae LIFE HISTORY feed until the third instar in summer and winter before overwintering, resuming once blooming begins in Spring. Pupation occurs in May or early June. MONITORING INFORMATION ACTIVE INGREDIENTS, Z11-14Ac and E11-14Ac in a Red Rubber Septum. LURE, FIELD LIFE Lure Longevity: 30 days. Red Paper or Plastic Delta Trap TRAP TO USE Hang traps inside canopy of fruit trees, at least 1-1.5 m off the ground. If trapping for multiple moths, traps should be spaced out by at least 20 m, even in smaller stands and/or orchards. MONITORING STRATEGY Check with Cooperative Extension or Master Gardener for local information and recommendations. Look for fruit rotting on the stem or prematurely dropping to the ground before harvest. Also CULTURAL & PHYSICAL check branches and leaves for egg batches. Remove of infested fruit and incinerate as CONTROL necessary. .

  • Pests in Northwestern Washington Prompted a 1994-1995 CAPS Survey of Apple Trees to Identify All Leaf-Feeding Apple Pests Currently in Whatcom County
    6. Biology / Phenology a. Biology 1. Exotic Fruit Tree Pests in Whatcom County, Washington Eric LaGasa Plant Services Div., Wash. St. Dept. of Agriculture P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, Washington 98504-2560 (360) 902-2063 [email protected] The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has conducted detection surveys and other field projects for exotic pests since the mid-1980's, with funding provided by the USDA/ APHIS Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) program. Recent discovery of several exotic fruit tree pests in northwestern Washington prompted a 1994-1995 CAPS survey of apple trees to identify all leaf-feeding apple pests currently in Whatcom County. Additional exotic apple pest species, new to either the region or U.S. were discovered. This paper presents some brief descriptions of species detected in that project, and other exotic fruit tree pest species discovered in northwest Washington since 1985. Table 1. - Exotic Fruit Tree Pests New to Northwestern Washington State - 1985 to 1995 green pug moth - Geometridae: Chloroclystis rectangulata (L.) An early, persistent European pest of apple, pear, cherry and other fruit trees. Larvae attack buds, blossoms, and leaves from March to June. Damage to blossoms causes considerable deformation of fruit. Larvae are common in apple blossoms in Whatcom County, where it was first reared from apple trees in 1994. This pest, new to North America, was also recently detected in the northeastern U.S. Croesia holmiana - Tortricidae: Croesia holmiana (L.) A common pest of many fruit trees and ornamental plants in Europe and Asia, where it is considered a minor problem. Spring larval feeding affects only leaves.

This study was carried out in 2007-2009 to determine morphological characteristics and biology of P. cerasana in 0900 Ziraat variety cherry orchard in Sultandağı district of Afyonkarahisar province, Turkey and laboratory conditions. The relationship of P. cerasana biology with climate and cherry phenological features has been investigated. As a result of biological studies, adults were caught to pheromone trap in the cherry orchard in the third week of May in 2007-2008, reach to peak twice and continue to fly until October in both years. Adults laid eggs on the upper surface of the leaves in May-June for the first generation and in July-August for second generation.

  • Kaolin As a Possible Treatment Against Lepidopteran Larvae and Mites in Organic Fruit Production
    Kaolin as a possible treatment against lepidopteran larvae and mites in organic fruit production G. Jaastad 1, D. Røen 2, Å-M. Helgheim 1, B. Hovland 1 and O. Opedal 1 Abstract Few control methods are available in Norwegian organic fruit production that can prevent damage by early and late larvae. Also phytophagous mites are difficult to control without harming the beneficial mites. Proc- essed kaolin function by coating trees and thus creating a physical barrier to infestation, impeding move- ment, feeding and egg-laying. Kaolin may reduce feeding and movement of over-wintering tortricide larvae and other larvae that hatch early in spring and have a repellent effect against egg-laying tortricide females in summer. Kaolin may also have a control effect against mites as it clings to the body and reduce feeding. Tri- als with kaolin were conducted in 2003, 2004 and 2005 in plum and apple orchards. Results show that kaolin reduces the population of rust mite, however it also affected the number of beneficial mites. The effect against early and late larvae was more variable. Treatments with kaolin resulted in a small reduction in early larvae and damage in some fields and years, however no clear effect against late larvae was found. The ef- fect of kaolin will be discussed in relation to population size and number of treatments. Keywords : kaolin, Surround , rust mite, Lepidoptera larvae, beneficial mite Introduction Both noctuid, geometrid and tortricid larvae may damage shoots, leaves and fruits in apple, pear and plum production. Most lepidopteran larvae damaging fruit trees in Norway hatch from eggs early in spring, however some species of tortricids hatch in early autumn and over-winter as young larvae in fruit trees.

A large number of tortricid species have been inadvertently introduced into North America from Eurasia, and many have the potential to inflict considerable negative economic and ecological impacts. Because native species behave differently than introduced species, it is critical to distinguish between the two. Unfortunately, this can be a difficult task. In the past, many tortricids discovered in North America were assumed to be the same as their Eurasian counterparts, i.e., Holarctic. Using DNA sequence data, morphological characters, food plants, and historical records, we analyzed the origin of 151 species of Tortricidae present in North America. The results indicate that the number of Holarctic species has been overestimated by at least 20%. We also determined that the number of introduced tortricids in North America is unexpectedly high compared other families, with tortricids accounting for approximately 23–30% of the total number of moth and butterfly species introduced to North America.
