Additional key words: new EPPO member country Computer codes: UZ 2005/033 New data on quarantine pests and pests of the EPPO Alert List By browsing through the CABI Abstracts, the EPPO Secretariat has extracted the following new data concerning quarantine pests and pests included on the EPPO Alert List. The situation of the pest concerned is indicated in bold, using the terms of ISPM no. 8. • New records Ceratitis quinaria (Diptera: Tephritidae – EPPO A1 list) has recently been identified for the first time from Mali on mango crops (Vayssières et al., 2004). Liriomyza trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae – EPPO A2 list) occurs in Saudi Arabia. Hassan and Mohammed (2004) mentioned its presence on cucumbers grown under protected conditions. Liriomyza huidobrensis and L. sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae – EPPO A2 list) are reported as important pests of vegetable crops in Indonesia (Prijono et al., 2004). The EPPO Secretariat had previously no data on the occurrence of L. sativae in Indonesia. In Croatia, Mycosphaerella pini (EU Annexes) is reported to occur in Pinus nigra plantations, but causing little damage (Diminić, 2001). This is in accordance with earlier reports made in former Yugoslavia. 2 EPPO Reporting Service During studies on Capsicum annuum done in Venezuela, Tomato ringspot nepovirus and Tobacco ringspot nepovirus (both on the EPPO A2 list) were detected for the first time (Rodríguez et al., 2004). • Detailed records Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae – EPPO A2 list) occurs in Ceará state, Brazil (Braga Sobrinho et al., 2004) Choristoneura rosaceana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae - EPPO A1 list) occurs in Minnesota, USA (Fadamiro, 2004) In South Africa, Globodera rostochiensis (EPPO A2 list) was first reported in 1971 and was subsequently eradicated. In 1999, it was found again in Western Cape. Surveys showed that G. rostochiensis only occurred in the Sandveld and Ceres areas of the Western Cape. Phytosanitary measures are being applied to prevent any further spread. During these surveys, G. pallida was not found (Knoetze et al., 2004). In Mexico, Rhynchophorus palmarum (Coleoptera: Curculionidae – Alert List) was found for the first time in Baja California Sur on Washingtonia robusta in November 2000 and January 2001 (García-Hernández et al., 2003). In Italy, Scaphoideus titanus (Homoptera: Cicadellidae – vector of grapevine flavescence dorée phytoplasma) was thought to be confined to the Po valley, but in recent years it has been found in other regions of Italy, notably in the southern provinces of Basilicata, Apulia and Calabria. It has also been found in Campania (Viggiani, 2004). Scirtothrips dorsalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae – EPPO A2 list) occurs in Sichuan, China. It is reported there as a serious pest of litchi (Li et al., 2004). • New host plants Natural infection of Apple mosaic ilarvirus (EPPO A2 list) was observed for the first time in a Fragaria vesca plant maintained in a germplasm collection in Oregon (US). An RT-PCR test was developed and will allow detection of this virus in field samples to determine its distribution and importance in strawberry production (Tzanetakis & Martin, 2005) Natural infections of Tomato black ring nepovirus (EU Annexes) on Sambucus nigra were observed for the first time in 2002 in Poland (Pospieszny et al., 2004). 3 EPPO Reporting Service Braga Sobrinho R, Mesquita ALM, Peixoto MJA, Hoeflick WRE (2004) Development of fruit fly attractant systems Source: th for mango.

EPPO Categorization: A1 list view more categorizations online... EU Categorization: A1 Quarantine pest (Annex II A) EPPO Code: CONHNE more photos... HOSTS Conotrachelus nenuphar, a native weevil of North America, was originally a pest of native rosaceous plants. However, the introduction of exotic rosaceous plants into North America, notably cultivated plants such as apple ( Malus domestica) and peach (Prunus persica) trees, widened the host range of C. nenuphar and demonstrated its adaptability to new hosts (Maier, 1990). The distribution of C. nenuphar broadly conforms to the distribution of its native wild hosts Prunus nigra, Prunus americana and Prunus mexicana (Smith and Flessel, 1968). Other wild hosts include Amelanchier arborea, A. canadensis, Crataegus spp., Malus spp., Prunus alleghaniensis, P. americana, P. maritima, P. pensylvanica, P. pumila, P. salicina, P. serotina, P. virginiana and Sorbus aucuparia (Maier, 1990). Important cultivated hosts are apples, pears (Pyrus), peaches, plums and cherries (Prunus) and blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum). In addition to its rosaceous main hosts, C. nenuphar can also be found on blackcurrants (Ribes spp. - Grossulariaceae) and blueberries (Vaccinium spp. - Ericaceae) (Maier, 1990). Second generation C. nenuphar adults appear to attack a narrower range of some cultivated species than the first generation (Lampasona et al., 2020). Prunus, Pyrus and Malus spp. are widely cultivated throughout the Euro-Mediterranean region. In addition, if the pest was introduced to this region, the adaptability of the species to new hosts would probably result in an extended host range.

  • Birch Defoliator Yukon Forest Health — Forest Insect and Disease 4
    Birch Defoliator Yukon Forest Health — Forest insect and disease 4 Energy, Mines and Resources Forest Management Branch Introduction The birch leafminer (Fenusa pusilla), amber-marked birch leafminer (Profenusa thomsoni), birch leaf skeletonizer (Bucculatrix canadensisella) and the birch-aspen leafroller (Epinotia solandriana) are defoliators of white birch (Betula papyrifera) in North America. Of the four, only the Bucculatrix is native to North America, but it is not currently found in Yukon. The other three species, as invasives, pose a far greater threat to native trees because their natural enemies in the form of predators, parasites and diseases are absent here. The birch leafminer was accidently introduced from Europe in 1923 and is now widely distributed in Canada, Alaska and the northern United States, though it has not yet been found in Yukon. The amber-marked birch leafminer was first described in Quebec in 1959 but is now found throughout Canada, the northern contiguous U.S., and Alaska. The amber-marked birch leafminer has proven to be, by far, the more damaging of the two species. Both species are of the blotch mining type as opposed to the skeletonizing Bucculatrix and the leafrolling Epinotia. Amber-marked leafminer damage is typically found along road systems. Infestations along roadsides are often greater in areas of high traffic, or where parked cars are common, suggesting that this pest will hitchhike on vehicles. It was first identified in Anchorage, Alaska in 1996 and has since spread widely to other communities. In areas of Alaska, efforts to control the spread of the amber-marked birch leafminer have been underway since 2003 with the release of parasitic wasps (Lathrolestes spp.).

  • Folivory of Vine Maple in an Old-Growth Douglas-Fir-Western Hemlock Forest
    3589 David M. Braun, Bi Runcheng, David C. Shaw, and Mark VanScoy, University of Washington, Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility, 1262 Hemlock Rd., Carson, Washington 98610 Folivory of Vine Maple in an Old-growth Douglas-fir-Western Hemlock Forest Abstract Folivory of vine maple was documented in an old-growth Douglas-fir-western hemlock forest in southwest Washington. Leaf consumption by lepidopteran larvae was estimated with a sample of 450 tagged leaves visited weekly from 7 May to 11 October, the period from bud break to leaf drop. Lepidopteran taxa were identified by handpicking larvae from additional shrubs and rearing to adult. Weekly folivory peaked in May at 1.2%, after which it was 0.2% to 0.7% through mid October. Cumulative seasonal herbivory was 9.9% of leaf area. The lepidopteran folivore guild consisted of at least 22 taxa. Nearly all individuals were represented by eight taxa in the Geometridae, Tortricidae, and Gelechiidae. Few herbivores from other insect orders were ob- served, suggesting that the folivore guild of vine maple is dominated by these polyphagous lepidopterans. Vine maple folivory was a significant component of stand folivory, comparable to — 66% of the folivory of the three main overstory conifers. Because vine maple is a regionally widespread, often dominant understory shrub, it may be a significant influence on forest lepidopteran communities and leaf-based food webs. Introduction tract to defoliator outbreaks, less is known about endemic populations of defoliators and low-level Herbivory in forested ecosystems consists of the folivory. consumption of foliage, phloem, sap, and live woody tissue by animals.

  • Susceptibility of Choristoneura Rosaceana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to Two New Reduced-Risk Insecticides
    INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE AND RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Susceptibility of Choristoneura rosaceana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to Two New Reduced-Risk Insecticides 1 ASHFAQ A. SIAL, JAY F. BRUNNER, AND MICHAEL D. DOERR Department of Entomology, Washington State University, Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center, 1100 N. Western Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801 J. Econ. Entomol. 103(1): 140Ð146 (2010); DOI: 10.1603/EC09238 ABSTRACT The response of Þeld-collected populations of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristo- neura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), to chlorantraniliprole, spinetoram, spinosad, and azinphosmethyl was assessed using a diet incorporation bioassay. Populations of obliquebanded leafroller were collected from nine orchards in Chelan, Douglas, Grant, and Okanogan counties of Washington. The neonates of the F1 or F2 generation were used in all assays. The parameters of probit regression lines were estimated and lethal concentration ratios were calculated for all populations compared with a susceptible laboratory population. SigniÞcant variation was detected in response to all four insecticides including chlorantraniliprole and spinetoram, which had never been used in the Þeld. lethal concentration ratios were 3.9Ð39.7 for azinphosmethyl, 0.5Ð3.6 for spinosad, 1.2Ð5.3 for chlorantraniliprole, and 0.5Ð4.1 for spinetoram. Correlation analysis indicated possibility of cross- resistance between spinosad and spinetoram, which are both members of spinosyn class. The occur- rence of low but signiÞcant levels of resistance against chlorantraniliprole and spinetoram in Þeld- collected populations of C. rosaceana before their Þrst Þeld application indicates that the risk of resistance evolution against these two new reduced-risk insecticides exists. However, it is likely that these low levels of resistance can be managed if the insecticides are used judiciously in conjunction with sound resistance management programs.

  • Refining Trunk Injection Strategies for Control of Foliar Insect Pests and Disease in Michigan Apple Orchards
    REFINING TRUNK INJECTION STRATEGIES FOR CONTROL OF FOLIAR INSECT PESTS AND DISEASE IN MICHIGAN APPLE ORCHARDS By Charles Clark Coslor A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Entomology—Doctor of Philosophy 2017 ABSTRACT REFINING TRUNK INJECTION STRATEGIES FOR CONTROL OF FOLIAR INSECT PESTS AND DISEASE IN MICHIGAN APPLE ORCHARDS By Charles Clark Coslor In conventional apple orchards, insect pests are managed with insecticides delivered to the canopy using airblast sprayers, which provide good canopy coverage. However, spraying results in significant product loss: as little as 26% is estimated to reach the tree canopy due to spray drift and less than 0.1% of insecticide ends up reaching the target pest. The remainder is lost to the environment with potential to harm people or non-target organisms. Trunk injection is a discriminating pesticide delivery system which reduces insecticide inputs and environmental exposure by delivering chemicals directly to the vascular system. It is commonly used to deliver pesticides in ornamental and shade trees. Recent work with trunk injection in apple orchards has shown promise, but more research must be done to determine efficacy and safety in tree fruit crops. In the following studies, we injected emamectin benzoate, imidacloprid, dinotefuran, spinosad, chlorantraniliprole, and abamectin into apple trees to expand the list of insecticides compatible with trunk injection. Nectar and pollen were sampled from trees to compare the effects of injection timing on insecticide concentration in floral resources. In addition, two fundamental injection tool types were compared: drill-based and needle-based. To test compatibility of combined insect and disease management, an insecticide and a fungicide were injected simultaneously.

  • Courtship Behavior in Choristoneura Rosaceana and Pandemis Pyrusana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
    BEHAVIOR Courtship Behavior in Choristoneura rosaceana and Pandemis pyrusana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) 1 2 3 TOMISLAV CURKOVIC, JAY F. BRUNNER, AND PETER J. LANDOLT Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 99(3): 617Ð624 (2006) ABSTRACT The characterization of courtship behavior in two sympatric and synchronic leafroller species, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) and Pandemis pyrusana Kearfott, indicated that only pher- omone permeated airßow was needed as a releaser to initiate the male mating sequence. Mating ethograms demonstrate that males of both species perform six observable, discrete, and homogeneous steps: 1) wing fanning; 2) Þrst contact; 3) male next to female (mostly in C. rosaceana), head-to-head (only P. pyrusana); 4) curled abdomen; 5) genitalia engagement; and 6) end-to-end position (mating). The sequences were highly stereotypic, suggesting that once a male starts the mating sequence, the rest of the steps will most likely follow. First contact with the female was a preprogrammed response, not requiring further cues. Copulation was more likely when the female remained stationary after Þrst contact. Unsuccessful mating sequences were frequent during the study because females escaped by walking away, turning around, or jumping away. Because courtship behavior is a mechanism to select sexual partners, it is possible to hypothesize that responses resulting in an unsuccessful mating (assumed to be rejection) validate this mechanism. The mating sequence of C. rosaceana best matches the simple courtship behavior model, whereas the sequence in P. pyrusana resembles an interactive courtship. Overall results indicate that courtship behavior in both species would be compatible with attracticide (i.e., sex pheromone ϩ insecticide) technology that requires direct contact between males and the pheromone source.

Read Full License Page 1/17 Abstract Trap captures of obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) to pheromone blends in ratios approximating those reported in pheromone glands and a novel blend based on a volatile headspace collection from live virgin females were evaluated in eld experiments in Michigan apple orchards. In an initial eld trapping study, pheromone lures composed of either a three- or four- component blend approximation of the blend present in female pheromone glands at doses ranging from 0.1 to 20 mg/lure were compared. The four-component blend was a combination of (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (Z11-14:Ac), (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (E11-14:Ac), (Z)-11-tetradecen-1-ol (Z11-14:OH), and (Z)-11-tetradecenal (Z11-14:Al) in a ratio of 96.5:1.8:1.4:0.2, respectively, while the three-component blend lacked Z11-14:Al. Pheromone emissions by groups of virgin females and commercial lures were collected in the laboratory and analyzed by gas chromatography. These data were used to formulate a new pheromone lure that was compared to a commercial lure in a second trapping study.
