Optimizing the use of the codling moth granulovirus: Final Report L. Lacey S. Arthurs R. Fritts R. Behle A. Knight

OBJECTIVES: 1.Determine the lowest dosage of CpGV that will provide effective control of codling moth larvae. 2.Determine optimal intervals for spray application. 3.Continue to assess the shelf life of commercial formulations at various temperatures. 4.Investigate the potential of several adjuvants for protecting CpGV from solar degradation.

Significant findings: ● Season-long treatments of CpGV (Cyd-X) at 3 rates (1, 3 and 6 oz acre) and 3 application intervals (7, 10 and 14 days) resulted in significantly fewer deep entries and surviving larvae but did not reduce the proportion of fruit damaged by codling moth. ● There was a significant trend of fewer deep entries and higher larval mortality rates with increasing rate of CpGV and shorter application interval. ● In replicated ½ acre plots, CpGV provided > 90% larval mortality at 1, 2 and 3 oz/acre, but was not as effective as Guthion in protecting fruit. ● Bioassay procedures to screen adjuvants providing possible UV protection of CpGV formulations were developed.

Significant findings continued: The efficacy of 3 commercial CpGV formulations were significantly reduced (52-77%) by exposure to UV light (9.36 × 10 6 joules/m 2 ) in a solar simulator. Although lignin encapsulation provided significant protection of CpGV exposed to simulated sunlight in laboratory studies, under field conditions it did not. The Cyd-X and Virosoft formulations of CpGV maintained larvicidal activity after storage at 2 and 25˚C for over 132 weeks, but activity was sharply reduced after storage at 35º for 16 and 40 weeks, respectively.

Field evaluations of CpGV Experimentally assess efficacy of weekly applications of Cyd-X at 1, 2, 3 oz/ac Experimentally assess efficacy of weekly applications of Cyd-X at 1, 2, 3 oz/ac Determine optimal spray interval and dosage of Cyd-X applied every 7, 10 or 14 days at 1, 3, or 6 oz/ac Determine optimal spray interval and dosage of Cyd-X applied every 7, 10 or 14 days at 1, 3, or 6 oz/ac % and degree of fruit damage, larval mortality, sampling overwintering larvae % and degree of fruit damage, larval mortality, sampling overwintering larvae
