Özet

The larvae of Leopard moth, Zeuzera pyrina L. (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) may cause death of the host tree by boring galleries into the main stem, thick and thin branches. Mating disruption method is an alternative to chemical control and it is implemented by applying sex pheromones of the pest in the orchard. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of mating distruption (MD) technique for Z. pyrina management in olive orchards. Isonet-Z pheromone dispensers were deployed in an olive orchard at the Hassa district of Hatay province with 360 dispensers per ha dosage in 2015 and 2016. An untreated orchard was selected as a control orchard. Dispensers were hung in the first half of May in both years. To assess the efficacy of MD method, number of trees with sap flowing or having live larvae on stem and branches were determined in both experimental and control orchards. The infestation rates calculated over the infested tree numbers were 6% and 10% in the MD orchard in 2015 and 2016, respectively; while it was 27% and 22% in the control orchard. Compared to the pre-count, a 90% reduction in contamination rates in the first year and an 84.37% decrease in the second year was detected. Accordingly, the percentage effect of the MD method was calculated as 77% and 54.6%, respectively, by years.
