  1. Use of Phenology Models for Insect Management in Southeastern Tree Fruits Jim Walgenbach Department of Entomology NC State University MHCREC, Mills River, NC

  2. Raleigh Mills River Charlotte

  3. Direct Insect Pests of Apples and Peaches in NC • San Jose Scale • Plum Curculio • Stink Bugs • Oriental Fruit Moth • Tufted Apple Bud Moth • Codling Moth • Comstock Mealybug • Apple Maggot

  4. Attributes of Insect Phenology Models in Tree Fruits • Temperature-driven • Models predict biological events important in management • Adult emergence, egg hatch, etc. • Predominately used to optimize • Insecticide use • Scouting resources

  5. Factors Contributing to Use of Phenology Models by Grower Community • Host range and mobility of pest • Common vs. sporadic pest • Consequences of over-spraying • Cost, resistance development • Availability, efficiency and ease of monitoring tools • Simplicity of outputs

  6. Direct Insect Pests of Apples and Peaches in NC • San Jose Scale • Plum Curculio • Stink Bugs • Oriental Fruit Moth • Tufted Apple Bud Moth • Codling Moth • Comstock Mealybug • Apple Maggot

  10. Codling Moth Degree-Day Model • Riedl et al. 1976. Can. Entomol. • Predicts percentage of adult emergence and egg hatch of first and second generations. • Degree-day accumulations begin at biofix, defined as first emergence of male moth. • In practice, first sustained capture of male moth in pheromone trap is biofix. • Insecticide applications are recommended at initial egg hatch.

  12. Impact of Resistance Development on Phenological Models

  13. Developmental Rate of Insecticide-Resistant Codling Moth Populations is Slower than Susceptible Populations • E. Lue. 2005. Trade-offs between insecticide resistance and development time in codling moth. http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~es196/projects/2005final/Lue.pdf • Development from egg-adult was 10% greater for a Guthion-resistant resistant compared to a susceptible codling moth population • Boivin, T., J. Chadoeuf, J.C. Bouvier, D. Beslay, and B. Saupanor. 2005. Modeling the interaction between phenology and insecticide resistance genes in the codling moth, Cydia pomonella. Pest Manag. Sci. 61: 53-67. • Pheromone trapping studies validated a model that predicted delayed emergence of insecticide resistant codling moth, and segregation of susceptible and resistant individuals increased with the frequency of resistance.
