Abstract

The Indian Meal Moth PLODIA INTERPUNCTELLA HÜbneris considered as an important stored pest for PISTACHIO nuts. The Carob Moth, Apomyelois (=Ectomyelois) ceratoniae (Zeller), attacks PISTACHIO nuts both in nature by feeding on fresh kernel (at PISTACHIO orchards) and also dried PISTACHIO nuts in store-houses. This study was carried out to determine the THERMAL CONSTANT and the lower threshold for the two above PISTACHIO stored pests under controlled conditions (constant temperature ranged between 17.5-32.5°C, 55±5% r.h. and 16:8 L:D). The insects in the investigation were drawn from cultures maintained in the laboratory fed by PISTACHIO nuts. Development of each insect from egg to adult emergence was checked in separate experiments. The mean for each temperature, lower threshold, and THERMAL CONSTANT were calculated from the pooled data of male and female developmental time from egg to adult emergence. The theoretical lower threshold for development was found to be 13.1 and 9.4°C for P. interpunctella and A. ceratoniae respectively. The THERMAL CONSTANT (in degree days centigrade above the threshold) of examined insects was estimated 526.3 and 769°D (degree days) using linear regression equation. Based on these results, it is suggested that if PISTACHIO-products would be kept in maintain their storage below 9.5°C, they will be safe against damages of both, the Indian Meal Moth and the Carob Moth insects.
