Abstract:

【Objectives】The use of pheromone spray to disrupt the mating of Grapholitha molesta (Busck) is superior to the currently used time consuming methods of suspending large numbers of pheromone impregnated threads and tubes, and also achieves the uniform release of sex pheromones throughout the treatment area. 【Methods】We conducted a field experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of using pheromone spray to disrupt mating in this species. 【Results】The results show that fruit damage in the treatment zone was significantly less than in the untreated control zone. Average rates of fruit damage were 0.17% and 0.13% for pear orchards treated with 150 g/667m2 and 200 g/667m2,respectively, compared to 5.04% for control orchards.【Conclusion】The development of pheromone spray for G. molesta has the economic and social benefits of reducing pollution and producing organic fruits.
