Combining Mutualistic Yeast and Pathogenic Virus — A Novel Method for Codling Moth Control

Alan L. Knight, +1 more
- 24 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: The finding that yeast also enhances larval ingestion of an insect-pathogenic virus is an opportunity for the development of a novel plant protection technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disruption of Phthorimaea operculella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) oviposition by the application of host plant volatiles

Gianfranco Anfora, +7 more
- 01 Apr 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the electrophysiological responses of olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) housed in long sensilla trichodea of P. operculella to plant volatiles and the two main sex pheromone components were evaluated by the single-cell recording (SCR) technique.
Journal ArticleDOI

Behavioral observations and measurements of aerial pheromone in a mating disruption trial against pea moth Cydia nigricana F. (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae)

Peter Witzgall, +7 more
- 01 Feb 1996 - 
TL;DR: Male attraction to calling females was almost entirely suppressed, and attraction to traps baited with synthetic pheromone was significantly reduced, and Larval infestation in the phersomone-treated field was 2%, compared to 36% in a control field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pheromone-mediated communication disruption in Guatemalan potato moth, Tecia solanivora

Carlos Felipe Bosa, +4 more
- 01 Feb 2005 - 
TL;DR: The female T. solanivora attraction to synthetic pheromone traps was almost completely suppressed for 2 months, demonstrating the potential use of phersomones for control of this economically important insect pest of potato in Central and Southern America.
Journal ArticleDOI

New Pheromone Components of the Grapevine Moth Lobesia botrana

Peter Witzgall, +9 more
- 18 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of extracts of sex pheromone glands of grapevine moth females Lobesia botrana showed three previously unidentified compounds, (E)-7-dodecenyl acetate and the (E,E)- and (Z,E-isomers of 7,9,11- dodecatrienyl acetates, which are the first account of a triply unsaturated pherumone component in a tortricid moth.
