Abstract
A 2-yr study of strawberry leafroller, Ancylis comptana (Froelich), populations in central Iowa showed that short daylengths and low temperatures maintain diapause during autumn and that this autumnal diapause ends without a specific cue by the end of December. The completion of diapause does not require chilling. The postdiapause developmental rate of A. comptana is linearly related to temperatures between 14 and 30°C; adult emergence requires 154 degree-days (DD) above a lower thermal threshold ( t ) of 10.5°C. Field cage studies demonstrated that 50% emergence of adult A. comptana from overwintering larvae can be predicted accurately based upon the accumulation of approximately 150 DD > 10°C.
