Fecundity and longevity of the codling moth C. pomonella were not affected by the treatment of adults with 1 ml CGA 184699, an IGI. However, fertility was strongly reduced since induced ovicidal efficiency reached 48% after treatment at the concentration of 100 ppm and 91% with 200 ppm. When adults were for 2 days submitted to the contact with a surface previously treated at different concentrations of CGA 184 699, the induced ovicidal efficiency rose from 12% with 50 ppm to more than 80% with 100 ppm and higher concentrations. Similar results were obtained with 3 other IGI: diflubenzuron, teflubenzuron and flufenoxuron. With fenoxycarb, an IGR, a 2-days contact of the adults with a surface treated at 100 ppm induced 100% ovicidal efficiency. However, a 2-days contact with a surface previously treated at 100 ppm with the same IGI under IGR practically did not affect the fertility of the wine moth L. botrana.
