COMPATIBILITY OF XYLOCORIS FLAVIPES (HEMIPTERA: ANTHOCORLDAE) AND VENTURIA CANESCENS (HYMENOPTERA: ICHNEUMONIDAE) FOR SUPPRESSION OF THE ALMOND MOTH, CADRA CAUTELLA (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE)

The predaceous bug Xylocoris flavipes (Reuter) was combined with the parasitic wasp Venturia canescens Gravenhorst to assess their compatibility in suppressing the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker). Each natural enemy was applied at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 insects for each ca. 1000 C. cautella. Significantly greater (P < .0001) suppression of C. cautella was obtained by the combination of X. flavipes and V. canescens at all levels. This demonstrated that the combination of X. flavipes and V. canescens is likely to enhance suppression of C. cautella in field applictions.

Almond Moth

The effect of the presence of the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), on the capture of the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker), in pheromone-baited traps was evaluated. It was found that when both sexes of each species were released into a large warehouse simultaneously, the capture of male C. cautella was reduced to 5.5 ± 0.8 in traps baited with a two-component lure as compared to 11.4 ± 2.2 when only C. cautella were released. This decrease in response may have been caused by an inhibitory substance produced by the female P. interpunctella that affects the response of male C. cautella to the pheromone or confusion caused by an increase in the amount of pheromone present. This reduced response of C. cautella must be considered when using pheromone-baited traps to estimate population levels when both species are present.
