OVIPOSITION OF THE ALMOND MOTH, CADRA CAUTELLA (WALKER) AND THE INDIANMEAL MOTH, PLODIA INTERPUNCTELLA (HÜBNER) (LEPIDOPTERA: PYRALIDAE), IN THE PRESENCE OF THE RED FLOUR BEETLE, TRIBOLIUM CASTANEUM (HERBST) (COLEOPTERA: TENEBRIONIDAE)2

Abstract Inshell peanuts were treated with 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 ppm cyfluthrin, each rate of cyfluthrin + 8.0 ppm piperonyl butoxide, and each rate of cyfluthrin + piperonyl butoxide + 25 ppm chlorpyrifos-methyl. After 10 months red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), populations in peanuts treated with 0.5 and 1.0 ppm cyfluthrin averaged 89.5 and 34.2 adults per 12.7 kg peanuts; populations in peanuts treated with 1.0 and 1.5 ppm cyfluthrin + piperonyl butoxide averaged 72.0 amd 41.5 adults per 12.7 kg peanuts. Populations in the remaining 8 treatments ranged from 0.5 to 7.2 adults. Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), and almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker), populations remained low in all treatments. At 10 months the percentage of insectdamaged kernels from cracked pods ranged from 8.7 to 28.8% in the cyfluthrin and cyfluthrin + piperonyl butoxide treatments, while the percentage of damaged kernels was 4.4 to 6.1% in the 4 treatments with chlorpyrifos-methyl.

Almond Moth

The effect of the presence of the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), on the capture of the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker), in pheromone-baited traps was evaluated. It was found that when both sexes of each species were released into a large warehouse simultaneously, the capture of male C. cautella was reduced to 5.5 ± 0.8 in traps baited with a two-component lure as compared to 11.4 ± 2.2 when only C. cautella were released. This decrease in response may have been caused by an inhibitory substance produced by the female P. interpunctella that affects the response of male C. cautella to the pheromone or confusion caused by an increase in the amount of pheromone present. This reduced response of C. cautella must be considered when using pheromone-baited traps to estimate population levels when both species are present.

Inshell peanuts treated with 10, 14, 18, and 22 ppm cyfluthrin were bioassayed with fifth instar Indianmeal moths, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) and fifth-instar almond moths, Cadra cautella (Walker), after 0, 2, 4, 6, and 8 months of storage. Emergence of the adult almond moth was greater than Indianmeal moth emergence at residual bioassays of 14, 18, and 22 ppm. Regression of increasing emergence with storage time was significant for the Indianmeal moth at 22 ppm and the almond moth at 14 and 22 ppm. For both species, adult emergence decreased as cyfluthrin concentration increased and was described by quadratic regression.

Two commercially available sex pheromone lures, a rubber septum and a controlled release membrane, that were impregnated with (Z,E)-9-12-tetradecadien-1-yl-acetate, were tested for efficiency and longevity in capturing released Indianmeal moths, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), and almond moths, Cadra cautella (Walker), in a large warehouse. When both species were released simultaneously, traps baited with both types of lures captured 19–20% of the Indiandmeal moths but captured less than 1% of the almond moths. The lures remained attractive for over 40 wks.

The effectiveness of two parasitic wasps, Bracon hebetor Say and Venturia canescens (Gravenhorst), in suppressing populations of the almond moth, Cadra cautella (Walker) was tested separately in 44.7 m3 rooms in the presence of large numbers of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst). Numbers of B. hebetor were decreased while numbers of the almond moth increased in the presence of T. castaneum. Populations of Venturia canescens were unaffected by T. castaneum.
