The attacks of jasmine moth were monitored in three olive cultivars, ‘Arbequina’, ‘Cobrançosa’ and ‘Galega Vulgar’, in a five years old olive grove and also in a plot of ‘Galega Vulgar’ one year old near Belmonte. The observations were carried out in 2000, from April 5 to November 7 and the first symptoms were observed on July 7. ‘Cobrançosa’ was significantly less attacked throughout the observation period and...
Jasmine moth population was monitored in olive groves in Cova da Beira, using traps baited with three commercial formulations of pheromone: Russell (in tricoloured funnel traps), SEDQ and Suterra (both in delta traps). Counts were carried out weekly from March to November 2010 for SEDQ’s pheromone and from September to November for Russell’s and Suterra´s pheromones. The scouts ranged among 0 and 4 insects/trap...
Tuta absoluta eggs were evaluated as host for Trichogramma evanescens with the aim of using indigenous species for biological control of the South American tomato moth. After being proved that T. evanescens could parasitize and achieve the complete development inside this host, parasitism rate, proportion of eggs within the parasitoid that reach the adult stage and viability of development rate, at three differ...
In the Azores archipelago, the olive tree only occurs in 2 Islands, Terceira and Pico. The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) is the key pest for this crop on the Island of Terceira, by causing important damage. Monitoring of B. oleae adults showed the occurrence of 2 population peaks, one of greater intensity in October and another of lesser intensity, in August. For the assessment of the damage caused...
In an assay performed in November 2010, adults captured in sexual pheromone water traps with and without light were counted. In traps with light a part of the insects were sampled for sex identification. Water traps for mass trapping which combined the attractive effect of sexual pheromone and light captured higher levels of Tuta absoluta adults than the traditional ones, with pheromone bait only. However, thes...
The objective of the survey was to evaluate the efficacy of 2 pheromones, in Cosmotrak traps, to control Cosmopolites sordidus Germar on banana orchards, in Terceira Island, Açores. The Cosmotrak traps with two pheromones were arranged in line, spaced by 20 meters. The pheromone cosmoplus has showed a greater efficacy than the pheromone sordidine, overcoming the pheromone sordidine by 41% from the captures of t...
Chestnut moth, Cydia splendana, is the most important pest affecting the chestnut production on Terceira Island, Azores, responsible by important damages at the quality level. To evaluate the economic impact of this pest, was determinated the fruits infestation rate on a sample of 500 fruits collected in each parcel, in total of 6 parcels 4 of them distributed at the southern part of the Island in the villages ...
The main goal of this survey was to evaluate the effectiveness of a new method to control Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata Wied. (Diptera: Tephritidae), which could be less hazard for the human health and for the environment. This method uses baits with 3% of lufenuron. For this survey, 1056 of baits were installed covering an area of 44 ha in the North Island of Terceira. The experiment has started ...
Os ataques de traça-verde foram monitorizados em três cultivares de oliveira, ‘Arbequina’, ‘Cobrançosa’ e ‘Galega Vulgar’,numolival de cincoanos de idade e na ‘Galega Vulgar’ também numaparcela com um ano de idade, na zona de Belmonte. As observações decorreram de 5 de Abril a 7 de Novembro de 2010, tendo sido observados os primeiros sintomas em 7 de Julho. ‘Cobrançosa’ foi significativamente menos atacada ao l...
A monitorização da população de traça-verde foi efectuada, em olivais da Cova da Beira, em armadilhas com três formulações comerciais de feromona sexual: Russell (em armadilha funil tricolor) e SEDQ e Suterra (ambas em armadilha delta). As contagens, semanais, decorreram: nas armadilhas iscadas com feromona SEDQ, entre Março e Novembro de 2010; nas armadilhas com feromona Russell e Suterra, de Setembro a Novemb...
