Bioecology of microlepidopterous pests of peach trees and their management according to the principles of integrated fruit production

Abstract

The present PhD Thesis studies the bio-ecology of the major peach (Prunus persica) microlepidoptera species Anarsia lineatella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), Grapholitha molesta Busk (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), Adoxophyes orana Fisher von Roslerstamm (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and their control in terms of integrated pest management (IPM). Laboratory studies were conducted to assess the effect of constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 and 35oC) on life history traits of Anarsia lineatella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). Developmental rate, survival, longevity and fecundity were determined in environmental chambers in individuals reared on peach twigs. Temperature dependent relationships of various developmental events were characterized evaluating several models. A new model, based on a beta type distribution function, was fitted on the temperature dependent developmental data in order to predict population dynamics. Egg to adult developmental time ranged from 20.4d (30oC) to 1 ...
