In a vineyard or the Zlmte variety of curllnt raisins as many as 100000 larvae pel altrc were found under the bark and in the soil on February 12 1934 The earliest pupation under batk was obseled bull in 1934 on March 22

Larlte are found under bark as late as June although in the spring the population is decimated both by overwintering and by parasitizashytion Examinlitions of vine trunks ill 1932 showed the following llumbets of Jiving huae and pupae per acre H4 on ~1arch 4 1709 on A ptil 4 1036 on Apdl19 1317 on ~Iay 11 41) ouMay 25 i and 207 on June 8

In a vineyard or the Zlmte variety of curllnt raisins as many as 100000 larvae pel altrc were found under the bark and in the soil on February 12 1934 The earliest pupation under batk was obseled bull in 1934 on March 22

Larlte are found under bark as late as June although in the spring the population is decimated both by overwintering and by parasitizashytion Examinlitions of vine trunks ill 1932 showed the following llumbets of Jiving huae and pupae per acre H4 on ~1arch 4 1709 on A ptil 4 1036 on Apdl19 1317 on ~Iay 11 41) ouMay 25 i and 207 on June 8

Flight of spring-brood adults middotas reeoLded in 1939 as parl as bull Apri I 7 and ppriisted Hnm about November Hi In 1932 emergence was at its peak about May 20 and in 193 about May 11 There was evidenee of three oedapping broods and a partial fOlllth In 1931 1932 llnd 1933 the high points of moth abunelanee for the year were reached late in September Ol earIy in October

In a vineyard or the Zlmte variety of curllnt raisins as many as 100000 larvae pel altrc were found under the bark and in the soil on February 12 1934 The earliest pupation under batk was obseled bull in 1934 on March 22

Larlte are found under bark as late as June although in the spring the population is decimated both by overwintering and by parasitizashytion Examinlitions of vine trunks ill 1932 showed the following llumbets of Jiving huae and pupae per acre H4 on ~1arch 4 1709 on A ptil 4 1036 on Apdl19 1317 on ~Iay 11 41) ouMay 25 i and 207 on June 8

rite most favomble Ioeations for overwiuteling raisin moth larvae ull farms are vineyards and fig orchanls both of which produce lnt(shymaturing crops in contrast with apricot and peach orchards ~amshypiing of the soil of fig orcha rc1s has revealed that the hibelllating larvae are concentrated largely in 6-inch bands of soil Ittound the trunks of the trees In vineyards also lalae hibelllatp in the soil neal the trunks as well as in the soil along the rows

Liquid baits wele llsed to obtain infolll1ation about the spring cmcrgenee of adults theil relative abundancl in vatious loealities throughout the growing spaSOll and the time they stop flying in the fall (DOlLOhoc and Burnes 1u) The baits were exposed in 3-quart enamel saucepans 9 inehes in diameter supported among the foliage of illes or orchanL trees The bait was a fermenting solution conshytaining one-foUlth to one-half pint of ma1t sirup It sll1aJI amount of brelHlyeast and 2 qUHltS of water pel trap As a rule the baits were renewed twice a week

Flight of spring-brood adults middotas reeoLded in 1939 as parl as bull Apri I 7 and ppriisted Hnm about November Hi In 1932 emergence was at its peak about May 20 and in 193 about May 11 There was evidenee of three oedapping broods and a partial fOlllth In 1931 1932 llnd 1933 the high points of moth abunelanee for the year were reached late in September Ol earIy in October

BIOLOGY OF THE RAISIN MOTH 15

A general idea of the numbers of adults present in fig-drying yards wall obtained by counting the moths that rose from trays of fruit when the figs were disturbed The counts were made in the evening since the moths lire inactive during the day Some of the estimate) are shown ill table 8 Moths that were in the air at the time of the counts are not included

In a vineyard or the Zlmte variety of curllnt raisins as many as 100000 larvae pel altrc were found under the bark and in the soil on February 12 1934 The earliest pupation under batk was obseled bull in 1934 on March 22

Larlte are found under bark as late as June although in the spring the population is decimated both by overwintering and by parasitizashytion Examinlitions of vine trunks ill 1932 showed the following llumbets of Jiving huae and pupae per acre H4 on ~1arch 4 1709 on A ptil 4 1036 on Apdl19 1317 on ~Iay 11 41) ouMay 25 i and 207 on June 8

In a vineyard or the Zlmte variety of curllnt raisins as many as 100000 larvae pel altrc were found under the bark and in the soil on February 12 1934 The earliest pupation under batk was obseled bull in 1934 on March 22

Larlte are found under bark as late as June although in the spring the population is decimated both by overwintering and by parasitizashytion Examinlitions of vine trunks ill 1932 showed the following llumbets of Jiving huae and pupae per acre H4 on ~1arch 4 1709 on A ptil 4 1036 on Apdl19 1317 on ~Iay 11 41) ouMay 25 i and 207 on June 8

rite most favomble Ioeations for overwiuteling raisin moth larvae ull farms are vineyards and fig orchanls both of which produce lnt(shymaturing crops in contrast with apricot and peach orchards ~amshypiing of the soil of fig orcha rc1s has revealed that the hibelllating larvae are concentrated largely in 6-inch bands of soil Ittound the trunks of the trees In vineyards also lalae hibelllatp in the soil neal the trunks as well as in the soil along the rows

Liquid baits wele llsed to obtain infolll1ation about the spring cmcrgenee of adults theil relative abundancl in vatious loealities throughout the growing spaSOll and the time they stop flying in the fall (DOlLOhoc and Burnes 1u) The baits were exposed in 3-quart enamel saucepans 9 inehes in diameter supported among the foliage of illes or orchanL trees The bait was a fermenting solution conshytaining one-foUlth to one-half pint of ma1t sirup It sll1aJI amount of brelHlyeast and 2 qUHltS of water pel trap As a rule the baits were renewed twice a week

Flight of spring-brood adults middotas reeoLded in 1939 as parl as bull Apri I 7 and ppriisted Hnm about November Hi In 1932 emergence was at its peak about May 20 and in 193 about May 11 There was evidenee of three oedapping broods and a partial fOlllth In 1931 1932 llnd 1933 the high points of moth abunelanee for the year were reached late in September Ol earIy in October

Table 7 shows the eutct(S of Ephe8tia figulileZla anel other storage moths taken on fallns ftom 1931 to 1933 The dominance of the raisin moth is apparent

In a vineyard or the Zlmte variety of curllnt raisins as many as 100000 larvae pel altrc were found under the bark and in the soil on February 12 1934 The earliest pupation under batk was obseled bull in 1934 on March 22

Larlte are found under bark as late as June although in the spring the population is decimated both by overwintering and by parasitizashytion Examinlitions of vine trunks ill 1932 showed the following llumbets of Jiving huae and pupae per acre H4 on ~1arch 4 1709 on A ptil 4 1036 on Apdl19 1317 on ~Iay 11 41) ouMay 25 i and 207 on June 8

rite most favomble Ioeations for overwiuteling raisin moth larvae ull farms are vineyards and fig orchanls both of which produce lnt(shymaturing crops in contrast with apricot and peach orchards ~amshypiing of the soil of fig orcha rc1s has revealed that the hibelllating larvae are concentrated largely in 6-inch bands of soil Ittound the trunks of the trees In vineyards also lalae hibelllatp in the soil neal the trunks as well as in the soil along the rows

Liquid baits wele llsed to obtain infolll1ation about the spring cmcrgenee of adults theil relative abundancl in vatious loealities throughout the growing spaSOll and the time they stop flying in the fall (DOlLOhoc and Burnes 1u) The baits were exposed in 3-quart enamel saucepans 9 inehes in diameter supported among the foliage of illes or orchanL trees The bait was a fermenting solution conshytaining one-foUlth to one-half pint of ma1t sirup It sll1aJI amount of brelHlyeast and 2 qUHltS of water pel trap As a rule the baits were renewed twice a week

Flight of spring-brood adults middotas reeoLded in 1939 as parl as bull Apri I 7 and ppriisted Hnm about November Hi In 1932 emergence was at its peak about May 20 and in 193 about May 11 There was evidenee of three oedapping broods and a partial fOlllth In 1931 1932 llnd 1933 the high points of moth abunelanee for the year were reached late in September Ol earIy in October
