Abstract

The obliquebanded leafroller (OBLR), Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), has become a significant pest of tree fruit production in North America within the past 25 years. Control of the OBLR has historically relied upon broad-spectrum insecticides like organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids. However, with evidence of resistance development, newer chemistries have been developed to combat this pest. The effects of novaluron, a chitin synthesis inhibitor, were studied to determine if reduced egg hatch occurs after exposure to adults. The transovarial effects of this compound were tested through laboratory bioassays, looking at decreased egg hatch and also presence of novaluron in egg masses following adult exposure. Results from the study demonstrated a decrease in egg hatch after adult exposure. Analysis of egg mass using HPLC also demonstrated novaluron present in the eggs laid by treated adults. Along with the direct ovicidal and larvicidal properties of novaluron, this transovarial activity provides an important contribution to the overall control seen in the field.

Résumé

Au cours des vingt-cinq dernières années, la tordeuse à bandes obliques, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), est devenue un ravageur important des cultures d'arbres fruitiers en Amérique du Nord. La lutte contre la tordeuse à bandes obliques a traditionnellement reposé sur l'utilisation d'insecticides à large spectre, tels que les organophosphates, les carbamates et les pyréthroïdes. Cependant, après la constatation du développement de résistances, de nouvelles molécules chimiques ont été mises au point pour combattre ce ravageur. Nous avons étudié l'effet du novaluron, un inhibiteur de la synthèse de la chitine, pour voir si l'exposition des adultes au produit entraîne une réduction de l’éclosion des œufs. Les effets transovariens du produit ont été vérifiés par des essais en laboratoire qui testaient la réduction de l’éclosion des œufs et la présence de novaluron dans les masses d’œufs après une exposition des adultes. Nos résultats indiquent une réduction de l’éclosion des œufs après une exposition des adultes. L'analyse des masses d’œufs par CLHP (HPLC) révèle la présence de novaluron dans les œufs pondus par les adultes traités. En plus des propriétés ovicides et larvicides directes du novaluron, cette activité transovarienne se révèle être un facteur important dans la lutte globale observée sur le terrain.
