Abstract :
The Lobesia botrana Denis & Schiffermülleris one of the most important pests of grape in Iran, where chemical insecticide application is a common approach to control of the pest. In this study effectiveness of diflubenzuron, spinosad, thiodicarb and phosalone was evaluated in four replications upon the 2nd and 3rd generations in summer 2009 in Khosrowshahr, Iran, through a randomized block design. The percentages of infested bunches, number of infested berries and damage were the comparison indices of insecticides efficiency. There was significant difference between measured indices in the two generations. Based on the number of infested berries, the entire treatments grouped in tow levels for both generations; however, in the second and third generations, they were placed in two and three levels, respectively. Based on the percentages of infested bunches, diflubenzuron and other treatments were significantly different within the two generations. In this investigation diflubenzuron did not evaluate as an effective insecticide for the control of grape berry moth.
