  • Identification of Insects, Spiders and Mites in Vegetable Crops: Workshop Manual Loopers Chrysodeixis Spp
    Important pests in vegetable crops This section gives descriptions of common pests found in Australian vegetable crops. They are listed according to the insect order they belong to. Moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera) Heliothis (corn earworm, tomato budworm, native budworm) Helicoverpa spp. Heliothis larvae feed as leaf eaters and bud and fruit borers on a wide range of plants, including many weeds. Adults lay round, domed, ribbed eggs that are cream when newly laid, turning brownish (‘brown ring’ stage) as they mature. Larvae grow up to 40 mm long and vary in colour from green through yellow and brown to almost black, with a pale stripe down each side. The moths have a wing span of 35–45 mm. Heliothis moth at rest These are some examples of heliothis damage to vegetable crops: • On lettuce and brassicas, larvae feed on the outer leaves or tunnel into the heart of the plant. • In tomato crops, eggs are laid on the leaves, flowers and fruit. Young larvae burrow into flowers causing them to fall and they cause pinhole damage to very young tomato fruit. Older larvae burrow into the fruit, creating holes and encouraging rots to develop. • In capsicum, larvae feed on the fruit and the seed inside the fruit. Eggs are laid mainly on leaves, but also on flowers and buds. Heliothis eggs on tomato shoot • In sweet corn, eggs are laid on the silks and leaves. Larvae feed on the developing grains on the cob, sometimes on the leaves and often inside the tip of the corn cob. • In green beans and peas, the larvae feed on the flowers, pods and developing seed inside the pods.

  • Spinosad Controls a Range of Lepidopteran Pests in Crucifers in Australia
    The management of diamondback moth and other crucifer pests Spinosad controls a range of lepidopteran pests in crucifers in Australia Paul Downard Dow AgroSciences (Australia) Ltd, Locked Bag 502 Frenchs Forest NSW 1640, Australia [email protected] Abstract Spinosad is one of the most widely used products for control of diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) in Australia. Since the launch of Success* Naturalyte* in 1999, it has rapidly gained wide acceptance in all crucifer growing areas of the country. This has occurred, not only because spinosad is highly effective against diamondback moth, but because it also controls several other important lepidopteran pests such as heliothis (Helicoverpa spp.), cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae), cabbage centre grub (Hellula hydralis) and cabbage cluster caterpillar (Crocidolomia pavonana) at rates which provide growers with excellent value for money. Spinosad is highly active against loopers (Chrysodeixis spp.) and affords some control of cluster caterpillar (Spodoptera litura) and onion thrips (Thrips tabaci). There is no diamondback moth resistance to spinosad in Australia, the product has a favourable toxicological profile and it is selective to a range of beneficial predators and parasitoids. The value of insect control is best gauged by assessing the quality of produce at harvest of the crop. In a small scale trial, a crop of broccoli infested with P. rapae, P. xylostella, S. litura and C. pavonana received a programme of six applications of spinosad at 7-10 day intervals. Spinosad at 48 g ai/ha resulted in 97.2% marketable heads, not significantly different (P>0.05) from the standard, prothiophos, at 750 g/ha which gave 100% marketable heads.

  • Bt Crops: Predicting Effects of Escaped Transgenes on the Fitness of Wild Plants and Their Herbivores
    Environ. Biosafety Res. 2 (2003) 219–246 © ISBR, EDP Sciences, 2004 DOI: 10.1051/ebr:2003014 Bt crops: Predicting effects of escaped transgenes on the fitness of wild plants and their herbivores Deborah K. LETOURNEAU1,*, Gaden S. ROBINSON2 and Joy A. HAGEN1 1 Department of Environmental Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz, USA 2 Department of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, London, UK One prominent concern about genetically modified crops is the possibility of environmental impacts from the movement of fitness-enhancing traits to wild plant populations. Decisions to deregulate Bt crops in the USA have relied strongly on arguments that these crops will not interbreed with wild relatives in the permitted growing regions. Limited attention therefore has been directed to analyses of the consequences of gene flow. To provide a transparent evaluation process for risks associated with insecticidal transgene escape, we crafted a series of questions designed to guide this aspect of the risk assessment. We then explored the current knowledge base available for answering such risk-related questions for three Bt crops (cotton, rapeseed, and rice). First, we generated a list of wild relatives of these crops. A definitive list of potential transgene recipients is not yet possible for some crops. Sufficient data are not available for some crops to eliminate certain related plant species from consideration of fertile hybrid formation, thus making lists for these crops subject to speculation. Second, we queried the HOSTS database (UK) to obtain a worldwide listing of lepidopteran species that feed on these crops and their wild relatives, and to determine the host range of the larvae.

  • Host Specificity of Cotesia Rubecula and Cotesia Plutellae, Parasitoids of White Butterfly and Diamondback Moth
    Biology of Fruit and Vegetable Pests 236 HOST SPECIFICITY OF COTESIA RUBECULA AND COTESIA PLUTELLAE, PARASITOIDS OF WHITE BUTTERFLY AND DIAMONDBACK MOTH P.J. CAMERON and G.P. WALKER New Zealand Institute for Crop and Food Research Ltd, Private Bag 92169, Auckland ABSTRACT Cotesia rubecula and Cotesia plutellae were assessed as potential biological control agents for white butterfly (Pieris rapae) and diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella), respectively, in New Zealand. Some literature records indicated a wider host range for C. plutellae compared with C. rubecula. The specificity of these parasitoids was evaluated by rearing collections of Lepidoptera from natural parasitoid habitats overseas, and by laboratory testing of their host preferences for related Lepidoptera and species from brassica habitats. C. rubecula showed strong preferences for white butterfly and developed in no other species. This parasitoid has now been released and its effectiveness and specificity are being confirmed in the field. Whereas C. plutellae demonstrated preferences for diamondback moth in oviposition rate and suitability for development, it was capable of developing in several other Lepidoptera in the laboratory. Current laboratory tests require very careful interpretation for predicting the field host range of species such as C. plutellae. Keywords: Host-specificity, parasitoids, white butterfly, Pieris rapae, diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella INTRODUCTION Recent attempts to improve biological control of vegetable brassica pests in New Zealand led to the consideration of Cotesia rubecula (Marshall) and Cotesia plutellae Kurdjumov (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae) as candidates for introduction against white butterfly (Pieris rapae L.) and diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella (L.)), respectively. Information on their host specificity obtained from the catalogue compiled by Shenefelt (1972) indicated that C.
