The development of the codling moth, Cydia pomonella(L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) was compared on artificial diets that contained different proportions (from 0 to 50%) of fruit pulp from either ‘Bing’ or ‘Chelan’ cultivars of cherry, Prunus aviumL. Frequency of adult emergence was inversely related to the proportion of cherry in the diet and the emergence rate was different for each cultivar. Fresh weights of adult females were not different across diet types, but fresh weights of adult males declined with increasing amount of cherry in the diet. Results suggest that cherry fruits contain chemicals that interfere with codling moth survival and development.
