Abstract

Pheromone trapping studies from 1979 to 1981 showed that there were two periods of San Jose scale, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock), male flight activity annually in western New York apple orchards. Spring flight, which resulted from overwintering black caps, began at ca. 94–140 degree-days (base 10 °C from 1 March) and occurred during bloom in the apple varieties studied. First generation crawlers emerged at ca. 360 degree-days. Second generation crawlers emerged at ca. 890 degree-days and were active throughout September. Regression analyses showed a logistic relationship between crawler density and fruit infestation, and inverse linear relationships between pheromone trap catches and San Jose scale infestation levels within trees.

Résumé

Des études de piégeage à la phéromone effectuées de 1979 à 1981 ont révélé 2 périodes annuelles de vol des mâles au pou de San José, Quadraspidiotus perniciosus (Comstock), dans les vergers de l'ouest de New York. Le vol de printemps originant du stade hivernant a commencé à environ 94–140 degrés-jours (base 10 °C à partir du 1 mars) et s'est produit durant la floraison des variétés étudiées. Les larves errantes de la première génération ont émergé à environ 360 degrés-jours. Les larves errantes de la seconde génération ont émergé à environ 890 degrés-jours, et sont restées active durant tout le mois de septembre. Des analyses de régression ont révélé une relation logistique entre la densité des larves errantes et l'infestation des fruits, ainsi que des relations linéaires inverses entre les nombres capturés au piège à phéromone et les niveaux d'infestion intra-arbres.
