Abstract | ||||
The leopard moth, Zeuzera pyrina L. (Lepidotera Cossidae ) is a serious polyphagous pest attacking fruit, wood and ornamental trees in Egypt and in many other countries in the world. Seasonal fluctuation of the population was monitored on six host plants (apple, pomegranate, pear, guava, pecan and olive) in Alexandria governorate during two successive years (1988 and 1989). Moths started to emerge during late April or early May until July and continued to October and December according to the host. An assessment of occurence and abundance of annual broods was approximated. Appropriate insecticidal application was determined for each host. The seasonal calender of Z. pyrina stages was constructed in pear orchards. | ||||
