Table 2.

Comparative seasonal catches of sterile and wild codling moths in white delta traps baited with various lures in a 17 ha area of apple orchards receiving a sterile insect treatment (SIT) alone, and in an adjacent 12.5 ha area receiving an SIT treatment combined with a pheromone mating-disruption (MD) treatment.

1 SIT treatment was one weekly delivery of 4000 mixed-sex (1:1) sterile codling moths ha−1; MD treatment was 750 Isomate-CM/LR-TT dispensers ha−1. 2 AA-PE lure is a single 8 mL propylene bottle with a 3 mm diameter hole in its lid containing two small cotton balls and a 5 mL load of an acetic acid plus PE mixture (240:1 µL v:v); CM-DA lure is a grey rubber septum loaded with 3 mg of codlemone plus 3 mg of pear ester; codlemone loaded on grey rubber septum. 3 Means (n = 5 traps/area) in a column for a given orchard treatment and moth sex followed by different letters area significantly different (Tukey’s test, α = 0.05) following a significant (p ≤ 0.05) randomised block ANOVA.
