Abstract

Monitoring of population dynamics, varietal  resistance and oviposition (depending on the  foliar side and plant foliar layer) of the potato  tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella Zeller were  studied in the field, upon four potato varieties: Spunta, Kenza, Crisper and Désirée cultivated  under the same growing conditions.  Investigation results showed a positive  correlation between flight of P. operculella adults  and the increase in temperatures recorded from  April to May 2016. A significant difference (P =  0.02) appeared between the four varieties for the  number of males caught by pheromone traps;  potato tuber moth showed a marked preference  for the Spunta variety with an average of 6±1.46  adults per trap. Oviposition of potato tuber moth  females was significantly higher on the lower  sides of potato leaves compared to the upper  sides, excepted for the Crisper variety where  recorded differences were not significant (P = 0,  07) . Egg density laid upon the foliage did not  show significant differences between the plant  foliar layers (upper, middle and lower) in all the  varieties studied. Combined with appropriate  cultural practices and the rational use of chemical  control, potato varietal resistance to P. operculella could be an essential tool in IPM programs for  this pest insect.
