DISRUPTION OF MATING IN THE SPOTTED TENTIFORM LEAFMINER (LEPIDOPTERA: GRACILLARIIDAE) USING SYNTHETIC SEX PHEROMONE
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract The potential for using synthetic sex pheromone to disrupt mating of spotted tentiform leafminers, Phyllonorycter blancardella (F.), was evaluated in four experimental and two commercial apple, Malus domestica (Borkh) (Rosaceae), orchards in Ontario during 1992 and 1993. The average disruption index [ i . e ., (total number of moths trapped in control plot – total number of moths trapped in pheromone-treated plot)/total number of moths trapped in control plot × 100] was 80.7% when leafminer pheromone, ( E )-10-dodecen-1-yl-acetate, was evaporated into square, approximately 400-m 2 plots. During the 2-year study, pheromone was evaporated into the pheromone-treated plots at an average hourly rate of 39.6 mg/ha. There was no relationship between the estimated release rate of pheromone and average temperature. There was a negative linear relationship between the disruption index and leafminer density, as measured by the number of moths trapped in the control plot. There was no relationship between the disruption index and the estimated release rate of pheromone. Our results suggest that it may be possible to control the spotted tentiform leafminer using sex-pheromone-mediated mating disruption.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
