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.

INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE EGG PARASITE TRICHOGRAMMA PRETIOSUM (HYMENOPTERA: TRICHOGRAMMATIDAE) AND A PREDATOR, XYLOCORIS FLAVIPES, (HEMIPTERA: ANTHOCORIDAE) OF THE ALMOND MOTH, CADRA CAUTELLA, (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE)

Tests were conducted to determine interspecific interactions between an egg parasite, Trichogramma pretiosum (Riley), and a general predator, Xylocoris flavipes (Reuter), of the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker). There was no significant difference in amount of predation by X. flavipes on 1 - day - old eggs of the almond moth that were parasitized by T. pretiosum and eggs that were not parasitized. However, there was significantly less predation (P < 0.01) on 5 - day - old parasitized eggs (53.0%) than on 5 - day - old nonparasitized eggs (83.9%). In a choice test that presented almond moth eggs and X. flavipes eggs to T. pretiosum adults, few X. flavipes eggs (14.2%) were parasitized as compared to 91.1% of the almond moth. These tests showed that there is a direct bi - directional interaction between these natural enemies of the almond moth, but that the magnitude of this interaction is small and it normally would not jeopardize their combined use in an integrated biological control program.

Inshell peanuts treated with 10, 14, 18, and 22 ppm cyfluthrin were bioassayed with fifth instar Indianmeal moths, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) and fifth-instar almond moths, Cadra cautella (Walker), after 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 months of storage. Emergence of the adult almond moth was greater than Indianmeal moth emergence at residual bioassays of 14, 18, and 22 ppm. Regression of increasing emergence with storage time was significant for the Indianmeal moth at 22 ppm and the almond moth at 14 and 22 ppm. For both species, adult emergence decreased as cyfluthrin concentration increased and was described by quadratic regression.

Two commercially available sex pheromone lures, a rubber septum and a controlled release membrane, that were impregnated with (Z,E)-9-12-tetradecadien-1-yl-acetate, were tested for efficiency and longevity in capturing released Indianmeal moths, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), and almond moths, Cadra cautella (Walker), in a large warehouse. When both species were released simultaneously, traps baited with both types of lures captured 19–20% of the Indiandmeal moths but captured less than 1% of the almond moths. The lures remained attractive for over 40 wks.
