Abstract
In an attempt to create high performance mating disruption, Trécé Co.
developed a new Cidetrack dispenser for use in the disruption of codling
moth, C. Pomonella, mating disruption. The dispensers were designed for
codlemone, pear ester (ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate) and a combination of
these two. In 2005, Trécé Cidetrack dispensers loaded with codlemone
(40%) and pear ester (60%) disrupted mating better than the industry
standard, Isomate-C Plus dispensers. However, in 2006, Cidetrack
dispensers loaded with 100% codlemone either outperformed the
dispensers loaded with 60% codlemone and 40% pear ester, or there was
no difference. The Cidetrack dispensing only codlemone did better than the
industry standard Isomate-C Plus in the first generation, but failed to repeat
these results in the second generation. However, no treatments reached a
high performance mating disruption (98%). There was also no benefit
seen in using a plant kairomone in addition to a codlemone.
