Abstract
Abstract
Duponchelia fovealis (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a pest native to Southern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean that has become invasive in many other parts of the world including the United States. This polyphagous pest infests many ornamental plants, fruit and vegetable crops, cut flowers, and some aquatic plants. In the United States, it is mainly a pest in greenhouses and outdoor nurseries. Data on D. fovealis are limited, and there is no solid information on effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. A review of pest distribution and pest status, host plants, nature of pest injury, description of life stages, biology and ecology, and management options for D. fovealis is presented. We also highlight areas of research that will improve IPM.
