The adult population dynamics of the Carob moth</strong><strong>[<em>Ectomyelois ceratoniae</em> Zell. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)] in citrus orchards in Adana and Mersin provinces
Abstract
This study was carried out in the period including 2009-2010 years on citrus varieties on cv. Washington in orchards settled in the plains of Adana (Yüreğir, Kozan) and Mersin (Tarsus) provinces. It is aimed to determine the first adult emergence time, adult population fluctuations and the highest population periods and the adults activation time of the Carob moth [Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zell. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)] .
The result indicated that even the adult ofE. ceratoniae were caught by the pheromone traps firstly in the second half of April and at the beginning of May the citrus orchards of E. ceratoniae population, the economic damage to citrus fruits could never reach the intensity and the number of butterfly caught in traps were between 1-9 numbers. In addition, E. ceratonia adult flights, ended in the month of November, April-November period for both years, which were about 6-7 months active in nature.
