Field and laboratory studies were conducted in western North Carolina to measure the residual activity of reduced-risk insecticides on apples against the codling moth and oriental fruit moth. Reduced-risk insecticides tested included indoxacarb, methoxyfenozide, acetamiprid, thiacloprid, and novaluron, along with the organophosphate azinphosmethyl. Insecticides were applied in the field by either dipping apples into solutions of insecticides, or applying with an airblast sprayer. Fruit were removed from trees at weekly intervals, placed in either codling moth or oriental fruit moth oviposition buckets for 24 hr, incubated for one wk, and the number of hatched eggs and larval entries into fruit counted. Most insecticides exhibited longer residual activity against codling moth compared with oriental fruit moth. In general, the insect growth regulators novaluron and methoxyfenozide exhibited the longest residual activity, followed by the neonicotinoids acetamiprid and thiacloprid, and the indoxacarb had the shortest activity. Azinphsomethyl was intermediate between the IGR’s and neonicotinoids.
