The effectiveness of two parasitic wasps, Bracon hebetor Say and Venturia canescens (Gravenhorst), in suppressing populations of the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker) was tested separately in 44.7 m3 rooms in the presence of large numbers of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Numbers of B. hebetor were decreased while numbers of the almond moth increased in the presence of T. castaneum. Populations of Venturia canescens were unaffected by T. castaneum.

Abstract Inshell peanuts were treated with 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 ppm cyfluthrin, each rate of cyfluthrin + 8.0 ppm piperonyl butoxide, and each rate of cyfluthrin + piperonyl butoxide + 25 ppm chlorpyrifos-methyl. After 10 months red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), populations in peanuts treated with 0.5 and 1.0 ppm cyfluthrin averaged 89.5 and 34.2 adults per 12.7 kg peanuts; populations in peanuts treated with 1.0 and 1.5 ppm cyfluthrin + piperonyl butoxide averaged 72.0 amd 41.5 adults per 12.7 kg peanuts. Populations in the remaining 8 treatments ranged from 0.5 to 7.2 adults. Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), and almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker), populations remained low in all treatments. At 10 months the percentage of insectdamaged kernels from cracked pods ranged from 8.7 to 28.8% in the cyfluthrin and cyfluthrin + piperonyl butoxide treatments, while the percentage of damaged kernels was 4.4 to 6.1% in the 4 treatments with chlorpyrifos-methyl.

Abstract Background The almond moth, Cadra cautella is a destructive pest of stored food commodities including dates that causes severe economic losses for the farming community worldwide. To date, no genetic information related to the molecular mechanism/strategies of its reproduction is available. Thus, transcriptome analysis of C. cautella female abdominal tissues was performed via next-generation sequencing (NGS) to recognize the genes responsible for reproduction. Results The NGS was performed with an Illumina Hiseq 2000 sequencer (Beijing Genomics Institute: BGI). From the transcriptome data, 9,804,804,120 nucleotides were generated and their assemblage resulted in 62,687 unigenes. The functional annotation analyses done by different databases, annotated, 27,836 unigenes in total. The transcriptome data of C. cautella female abdominal tissue was submitted to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (accession no: PRJNA484692). The transcriptome analysis yielded several genes responsible for C. cautella reproduction including six Vg gene transcripts. Among the six Vg gene transcripts, only one was highly expressed with 3234.95 FPKM value (fragments per kilobase per million mapped reads) that was much higher than that of the other five transcripts. Higher differences in the expression level of the six Vg transcripts were confirmed by running the RT-PCR using gene specific primers, where the expression was observed only in one transcript it was named as the CcVg. Conclusions This is the first study to explore C. cautella reproduction control genes and it might be supportive to explore the reproduction mechanism in this pest at the molecular level. The NGS based transcriptome pool is valuable to study the functional genomics and will support to design biotech-based management strategies for C. cautella.

An experimental formulation containing cyfluthrin (Laser®) was evaluated against two commercial products for control of adult almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker), adult confused flour beetle, Tribolium confusum (DuVal) and black carpet beetle, Attagenus unicolor (Brahm) (= A. megatoma F.) larvae. When Laser was released for 2.5 and 5.0 sec into test chambers and almond moths were exposed for 3 h, mortality was 97 and 99%, respectively. These percentages were significantly greater than the mortality provided by one of the commercial formulations (79 and 89% for 2.5 and 5.0 sec, respectively). There were no differences between the three formulations at release times of 10 and 20 sec and exposure times of 6 and 18 h. None of the formulations killed either of the two beetle species, but the percentage knockdown for Laser was significantly greater than knockdown provided by either commercial product.

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.
