In 2012, the efficacy of an integrated control program was compared with a conventional program for control of codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), in two apple orchards in Bursa, Turkey. In the integrated control program, early-season insecticide sprays against first-generation codling moth were combined with mating disruption to control the second...

... treatments effectively reduced initial codling moth population densities to low levels, which is a major requisite for successful mating disruption (Cardé, R. and Minks, A. 1995). Moth captures in pheromone traps significantly differed among locations (F= 80.36; df= 1,21; P< 0.01) and treatments (F= 58.56; df= 3,21; P< 0.01, Fig. 1). However, there was a significant treatment x location interaction (F= 6.15; df= 3, 21, P< 0.01). Unlike Supurtu, there were no significant differences between high and low volume sprayable pheromone treatments at Deydinler. Improved deposition and performance of sprayable pheromone formulations in low volume applications compared to ...

Experiments were conducted in commercial apple orchards to determine if improved efficiencies in pheromone delivery may be realized by using aerosol pheromone dispensers for codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella L., mating disruption. Specifically, we tested how reducing: pheromone concentration, period of dispenser operation, and frequency of pheromo...

... In last decade, non-chemical control approaches, including mass-trapping of males or mating disruption to prevent males from finding and mating with females using pheromone, have been evaluated to compensate unsatisfying results of chemical control (Mamay and Yanik 2013). Kovanci and Pehlevan (2015) evaluated the efficacy of an integrated control program, where early-season insecticide sprays against first-generation codling moth were combined with mating disruption to control the second generation, in comparison with a conventional program for control of codling moth in two apple orchards in Bursa province (Turkey). In each treatment, pheromone traps were deployed to monitor codling moth adults. ...
... But anyways, when we compared our present results with other control measures commonly used in apple orchards, i.e., insecticides, pheromones, biologicals, etc., we encountered similar and different results. For instance, Kovanci and Pehlevan (2015) evaluated the efficacy of an integrated control program, where early-season insecticide sprays against first-generation codling moth were combined with mating disruption to control the second generation, by comparing with a conventional program for control of codling moth in two apple orchards (integrated vs conventional) in Bursa, Turkey. They reported integrated control program provided a good control level (< 1.0% fruit damage) compared to the conventional orchard (< 3% fruit damage). ...
A two-year field study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy of mass-trapping of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), using newly designed light trap in reducing fruit damage in apple orchards. In both years (2020 and 2021), experiments were conducted in two apple orchards, one of which was located in Antalya (Elmalı) province and the other was located in Isparta (Senirkent) province (southwestern part of Turkey). For each of the two years, the study orchards were divided into two equal parts (plots), separating from each other by a guard row; in one of them (termed ‘light trap plot’), newly designed light trap was tested and the traps were placed 30 m apart from each other along the outer rows of the plot just above the plant canopy (≈4 m from the ground), using galvanized metal poles. In the other plot (termed ‘conventional plot’), conventional control system, based heavily relied on the use of synthetic insecticides, was applied for comparison. In weekly trap checks in the light trap plot of each orchard, total number of adult C. pomonella caught in each trap was recorded. The effectiveness of mass-trapping in reducing fruit damage was evaluated by comparing the percentages of weekly infestation in apple fruits (examining 100 randomly selected fruits on the trees) and the percentages of damaged fruits at harvest in both plots of each orchard. The results demonstrated that mass-trapping of adult C. pomonella using newly designed light trap was effective in reducing fruit damage in both years. Considering the yearly averages, in both 2020 and 2021 significantly lower fruit damages were observed in the light trap plot of the orchards in both Antalya (9.6 and 7.8%) and Isparta (8.8 and 7.3%) than in their conventional plots (10.2 and 9.4% in Antalya, 7.5 and 9.1% in Isparta, respectively). Mass-trapping adult C. pomonella using newly designed light trap seems to be an effective tool for the integrated pest management (IPM) of C. pomonella in apple orchards.
