Abstract:ObjectiveTo clarify the interaction among trapping effect of different lures on main Lepidopteran pests, Grapholitha molesta, Adoxophyes orana, Conogethes punctiferalis, and Lyonetia clerkella, in northern peach orchards, and to provide a scientific basis for the rational mixed use of these pest lures.MethodsUtilizing the sex pheromone lures of the four types of pests, a two-year consecutive investigation (2022-2023) was conducted in peach orchards in the Zhengzhou area to compare the trapping efficiency of different combinations of pest sex pheromone lures and individual pest pheromone lures. There were four treatments per group in the experiment (T1: a single target pest sex pheromone lure in each trap, totaling 4 traps; T2: any combination of two types of target pest sex pheromone lures in each trap, totaling 6 traps; T3: any combination of three types of target pest sex pheromone lures in each trap, totaling 4 traps; T4: a combination of four types of target pest sex pheromone lures in each trap, totaling 1 trap), with a total of 15 traps and 3 sets of replicates. The traps were uniformly distributed in the orchard according to the principle of equidistant placement, and were hung at a height of 1.5 meters above the ground.ResultsThe results showed that in 2022 and 2023, the number of captured G. molesta using G. molesta sex pheromone lures alone was 40.0 ± 10.6 and 57.9 ± 7.6 per trap, respectively. There was no significant effect on the capture of G. molesta when mixed G. molesta sex pheromone lures with the other three target pest lures. In 2022 and 2023, the combination of A. orana sex pheromone lures with G. molesta sex pheromone lures captured 50.7 ± 12.4 and 16.3 ± 6.8 A.orana  per trap, respectively, which was significantly lower than the capture when used A. orana sex pheromone lures alone 175.6 ± 32.4 and 85.1 ± 13.8 per trap, respectivelyp0.05. The use of the other two pest lures in combination with A. orana sex pheromone lures had no significant effect on the capture of A. orana. The number of L. clerkella captured in 2022 and 2023 was 28.8 ± 12.5 and 26.1 ± 5 per trap when used L. clerkella sex pheromone lures alone, respectively, and there was no significant effect on the capture of L. clerkella when mixed with the other three target pest lures. In 2022, the use of C. punctiferalis sex pheromone lures alone captured the most C. punctiferalis, with a capture rate of 4.0 ± 0.58 per trap, however the capture was significantly reduced when combined with any other three pest luresp0.05. In 2023, the capture of  C. punctiferalis was 2.1 ± 0.3 per trap when used alone, and there was no significant difference in the capture when combined with other pest lures.ConclusionWhen trapping G. molesta, the sex lure of L. clerkella can be mixed with the sex lures of A. orana, C. punctiferalis, and L. clerkella; when trapping L. clerkella, the sex lure of L. clerkella can be mixed with the sex lures of G. molesta, A. orana, and C. punctiferalis; when trapping A. orana, the sex lure of A. orana can be mixed with the sex lures of L. clerkella and C. punctiferalis, but not with the sex lure of G. molesta.
