Abstract

In unsprayed apple orchards in Ontario the sex ratio (female:male) of mature codling moth larvae was negatively correlated with total moth numbers, per cent fruit damage, and the fecundity of first generation females. Changes in both the larval and adult sex ratios were indicative of the tendency of moth populations to increase or decrease from one season to the next.
