Abstract Studies were conducted to assess glacial acetic acid (GAA) with various host plant
volatiles (HPVs) and the sex pheromone, (E,E)-8, 10-dodecadien-1-ol, of codling moth, Cydia
pomonella (L), as lures in traps for tortricid pests that often co-occur in tree fruits in the western
United States. In addition to codling moth, field trapping studies were conducted with oriental
fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck), obliquebanded leafroller Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris),
the leafroller Pandemis pyrusana Kearfott, and the eyespotted budmoth, Spilonota ocellana
(Denis and Schiffermüller). HPVs included ethyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate (pear ester), (E)-4,8-dimethyl-1,3,7-nonatriene, butyl hexanoate, (E)-β-ocimene, (E)-β-farnesene, and farnesol. Three
types of GAA co-lures differing in a 10-fold range in weekly evaporation rates were tested. The
evaporation rate of GAA co-lures was an important factor affecting moth catches. The highest rate
tested captured fewer codling moth but more leafrollers and eyespotted budmoth. GAA co-lures
caught both sexes of each species. The field life of butyl hexanoate and (E)-β-ocimene lures were
much shorter than pear ester or sex pheromone lures. Adding GAA to pear ester or to (E)-β-ocimene significantly increased the catches of only codling moth or oriental fruit moth, respectively.
Combining pear ester or (E)-β-ocimene with GAA did not affect the catch of either species
compared with the single more attractive HPV. Adding HPVs to GAA did not increase the catches
of either leafroller species or eyespotted budmoth. Traps baited with pear ester, sex pheromone,
and GAA for monitoring codling moth were also effective in classifying pest pressure of both
leafroller species within orchards.
