Isolation Mechanisms

Interspecific courtship was observed between the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, and the almond moth, Cadra cautella. Successful cross-mating did not occur, however, because of the following isolation mechanisms: (1) incompatible courtship behavior, (2) male sex pheromone as a species recognition signal, (3) inhibition of males to female sex pheromone stimulation, and (4) mechanical or physiological barriers to insemination.Male Indian meal moths were strongly excited by calling almond moth females and courted them vigorously. However, because the courtship behavior of this combination was incompatible, copulation did not occur. Occasionally courtship continued to a later stage in the sequence but then the female rejected the male apparently because he releases an inappropriate aphrodisiac from his scent scales.In the reciprocal cross, fully two-thirds of the almond moth males failed to be sufficiently excited by Indian meal moth females to court them. Most of these males were inhibited, as indicated by their subsequent lack of response to pheromone extracts from their own female. Those males which were excited by Indian meal moth females courted them successfully and copulated, but insemination apparently did not occur. In a few cases the females rejected the males, as in the reverse cross.

Contact Insecticides

Effects of contact insecticides pirimifos-methyl and deltamethrin of Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella Hbn. and Angoumois grain moth Sitotroga cerealella Oliv. in maize, and on bean weevil Acanthoscelides obtectus Say in beans were examined 6 and 18 months after treatment in laboratory environment. Using appropriate methods (EPPO and other), maize and bean were treated with recommended and double rates of the insecticide products: EC formulation of pirimifos-methyl and EC formulation and dust of deltamethrin. After 6 and 18 months, we examined the mortality of P. interpunctella larvae, and 5. cerealella and A. obtectus adults following 2,7 and 14 days of contact with the treated material. In Angoumois grain moth and bean weevil, the resulting progeny was monitored up to FI generation. Both insecticides achieved full mortality of P. interpunctella larvae on the 6-month-old deposit. On the 18-months-old deposit, the same result was achieved with deltamethrin dust (both rates), as well as with pirimifosmethyl and deltamethrin (EC formulation) at the double recommended rates. S. cerealella mortality was 100% for both insecticides and both deposit ages. Regarding A. obtectus, full mortality of adults was found after contact with pirimifos-methyl and deltamethrin dust, while deltamethrin liquid caused low mortality of bean weevil, especially the 18-months-old deposit. FI generation adults of Angoumois grain moth and bean weevil were found only on 18-months-old deposits of the recommended rates of deltamethrin dust and pirimifos-methyl. The tested contact insecticides can provide very long prevention and control of Indian meal moth and Angoumois grain moth in stored maize and bean weevil in stored beens.

AbstractIn laboratory studies, an aqueous suspension of a commercial wettable powder formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (strain HD-1) containing at least 25 billion viable spores/g and 16000 International Units of Potency (Trichoplusia ni (Hübner))/mg prevented infestations of Indian meal moths, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), and almond moths, Cadra cautella (Walker), in corn and wheat at a dose of ca. 120 mg of formulation/kg of grain. Treatment of a 100-mm-deep surface layer was more effective than treatments 33 or 67 mm deep and as effective as treatment of the entire grain mass Lack of uniformity in applying B. thuringiensis to the grain kernels caused a small decrease in effectiveness. Dust and bait formulations at about the same doses were as effective as the suspension, but the bait was undesirable because it supported the development of beetle larvae. The formulation was less effective in controlling the Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier): doses that gave complete control of the Indian meal moth and the almond moth reduced emergence of adult Angoumois grain moths by only about one-third.
