Abstract

Oriental fruit moth (Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)) adult males were captured by pheromone traps in 10 of 24 orchards monitored in southern Quebec from 2003 to 2005. Twelve, 22, and 133 oriental fruit moths were captured in 2003, 2004, and 2005, respectively. One oriental fruit moth larva was collected in each of two orchards in 2004. This is the first record of this species in Quebec apple orchards.

Résumé

Des mâles adultes de la tordeuse orientale du pêcher (Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)) ont été capturés dans les pièges à phéromones de 10 vergers sur un total de 24 dépistés. Douze, 22 et 133 adultes de la tordeuse orientale du pêcher ont été capturés respectivement en 2003, 2004 et 2005. Une larve a été observée dans chacun de deux vergers en 2004. Il s'agit de la première mention de cette espèce dans les vergers du Québec.
