DEMONSTRATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A PERSISTENT PHEROMONE LURE FOR THE NAVEL ORANGEWORM, AMYELOIS TRANSITELLA (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE)

Demonstration and Characterization of a Persistent Pheromone Lure for the Navel Orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

The lack of an effective pheromone lure has made it difficult to monitor and manage the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), in the economically important crops in which it is the primary insect pest.A series of experiments was conducted to demonstrate and characterize a practical synthetic pheromone lure for capturing n
