Onayemi, S.O., Daane, K.M., & Walsh, D.B. 2026 First report of pheromone-based mating disruption for grape mealybug (Pseudococcus maritimus). American Journal of Enology and Viticulture 77: 0770003

Keywords:

  • GLRV
  • behavior
  • control
  • reproductive system
  • vector

    • Notes: The primary objective was to determine if placement of pheromone dispensers in vineyards can reduce grape mealybug population density and if so, what per-hectare-density of dispensers is required to reduce pheromone trap captures (or bring sentinel trap captures to near zero), as a benchmark to determine sufficient inhibition of Ps. maritimus mating and reproduction. https://doi.org/10.5344/ajev.2025.25033
