Creating a degree-day model of honeydew moth [Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Mill., 1867) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)] in pomegranate orchards
Abstract
This study has been conducted in a pomegranate orchard in Tarsus, Mersin Province between 2008-2010 and 2012-2013. In this study, the sum of effective temperatures based on a degree-day (DD) model was determined to be successful for the scheduling control of honeydew moth [Cryptoblabes gnidiella (Mill.,1867) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)]. For this purpose, phenological stages, sex pheromone traps, the sum of effective temperatures (ETS), egg hatching time and fruit control were used. ETS values based on the DD model were 80 DD for hanging time of sex pheromone traps, 250 DD for first generation for egg hatching period, 800 DD for the second generation, 1375 DD for the third generation, 1930 DD for the fourth generation, and 2500 DD for fifth generation. However, the first generation of C. gnidiella, which had lower population having come from overwintering places, and fifth generation, which emerged at after harvest, should be monitored regularly so that control applications will be more beneficial.
