  • Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle
    Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle Order: Coleoptera Family: Byturidae Species: Byturus unicolor The raspberry beetle, also known as the raspberry fruitworm, is a product contaminant pest found in raspberry fields in Washington. The larvae, or fruitworm, may fall off with the fruit during machine harvest. This pest has often been controlled by a diazinon treatment at 5% bloom, before pollinators are brought into the field. The United States Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to reduce the use of organophosphates, such as diazinon, through higher restrictions and cancellations. New monitoring tools for the raspberry beetle have been developed and tested in Whatcom County. The Rebell® Bianco white sticky trap can be used to detect raspberry beetle levels in a field. This may help in determining what treatment, if any, is Figure 1: Adult raspberry required for control of the pest. beetle on a raspberry bud Biology: The adult raspberry beetle is between 0.15 and 0.2” in length, a reddish brown color with short hairs covering its whole body (see figure 1). Overwintering in the soil, the adult emerges in the spring between mid-April and mid-May depending on soil temperatures. The adults feed on leaves, often on the new primocane leaves, but in areas of high populations they will also feed on upper floricane leaves. Adults are then attracted to flower buds and blooms where mating and, subsequently, ovipositing occurs. Larvae (or fruitworm) emerge from the eggs on the flower or immature fruit and begin feeding on the receptacle. The larvae are between 0.1” and 0.25” in length depending on the time of season.

  • Effects of Prescribed Fire and Fire Surrogates on Pollinators and Saproxylic Beetles in North Carolina and Alabama
    EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED FIRE AND FIRE SURROGATES ON POLLINATORS AND SAPROXYLIC BEETLES IN NORTH CAROLINA AND ALABAMA by JOSHUA W. CAMPBELL (Under the Direction of James L. Hanula) ABSTRACT Pollinating and saproxylic insects are two groups of forest insects that are considered to be extremely vital for forest health. These insects maintain and enhance plant diversity, but also help recycle nutrients back into the soil. Forest management practices (prescribed burns, thinnings, herbicide use) are commonly used methods to limit fuel build up within forests. However, their effects on pollinating and saproxylic insects are poorly understood. We collected pollinating and saproxylic insect from North Carolina and Alabama from 2002-2004 among different treatment plots. In North Carolina, we captured 7921 floral visitors from four orders and 21 families. Hymenoptera was the most abundant and diverse order, with Halictidae being the most abundant family. The majority of floral visitors were captured in the mechanical plus burn treatments, while lower numbers were caught on the mechanical only treatments, burn only treatments and control treatments. Overall species richness was also higher on mechanical plus burn treatments compared to other treatments. Total pollinator abundance was correlated with decreased tree basal area (r2=0.58) and increased percent herbaceous plant cover (r2=0.71). We captured 37,191 saproxylic Coleoptera in North Carolina, comprising 20 families and 122 species. Overall, species richness and total abundance of Coleoptera were not significantly different among treatments. However, total numbers of many key families, such as Scolytidae, Curculionidae, Cerambycidae, and Buprestidae, have higher total numbers in treated plots compared to untreated controls and several families (Elateridae, Cleridae, Trogositidae, Scolytidae) showed significant differences (p≤0.05) in abundance.

La primera población, provenía de Xalapa, México, y fue originalmente colectada y criada sobre pupas de la Mosca Mexicana de la Fruta, Anastrepha ludens Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae). La segunda población, originaria de Athens, Georgia, fue colectada y criada sobre prepupas de avispas de barro, Trypoxylon politum Say (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae). Estudios de PCR de la región ITS2 confi rmaron que ambas poblaciones del parasitoide pertenecen a la misma especie; lo que nos provee de un perfi l molecular taxonómico muy útil debído a que las hembras de las diversas especies de Melittobia son superfi cialmente similares. La amplifi cación del gen de superfi cie de proteina (wsp) de Wolbachia confi rmó la presencia de este endosimbionte en ambas poblaciones.

  • Effects Of. Prescribed Fire and Fire Surrogates on Saproxylic Coleoptera in the Southern Appalachians of North Carolina 1
    Effects of. Prescribed Fire and Fire Surrogates on Saproxylic Coleoptera in the Southern Appalachians of North Carolina 1 2 Joshua W. Campbell , James L. Hanula and Thomas A. Waldrop 3 USDA Forest Service, Southern Research Station, 320 Green St., Athens, Georgia 30602-2044 USA J. Entomol. Sci. 43(1): 57-75 (January 2008) Abstract We examined the effects of forest management practices (prescribed burning, me­ chanical, and prescribed burn plus mechanical) on saproxylic forest Coleoptera in the southern Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. During the 2-yr study, we captured 37,191 Coleoptera with baited multiple-funnel traps and pipe traps, comprising 20 families and 122 species that were used for our analysis. Saproxylic beetle numbers increased greatly from the first year to the second year on all treatments. Species richness and total abundance of Coleoptera were not significantly affected by the treatments, but several families (e.g., Elateridae, Cleridae, Trogositi­ dae, Scolytidae) were significantly more abundant on treated plots. Abundances of many spe­ cies, including various species of Scolytidae were significantly affected by the treatments. How­ ever, these scolytids (Hylastes salebrosus Eichoff, Ips grandicollis Eichoff, Xyloborinus saxeseni Ratzburg, Xyleborus sp., Xyleborus atratus Eichoff) did not respond in the same way to the treatments. Likewise, other Coleoptera such as Pityophagus sp. (Nitidulidae), Hylobius pales Herbst (Curculionidae), and Xylotrechus sagittatus Germar (Cerambycidae) also varied in their responses to the treatments. Species richness was not significantly different for the spring 2003 trapping seasons, but the fall 2003 sample had a higher number of species on mechanical shrub removal only and mechanical shrub removal plus prescribed burning plots compared with con­ trols.

Volume 15-- 2003 Message from the Editor: Summer Schedule: Berry Notes will appear on a weekly basis for the next 10 weeks or so. I will try to post it each Tuesday by 5:00pm. Any variation on this schedule will be announced a week ahead of time. As always, please feel free to send comments or questions about Berry Notes to me at [email protected]. Twilight Meeting: A twilight meeting will be held on Tuesday June 24, 2003 at Nourse Farms (http://www.noursefarms.com/ ) in Whately, MA starting at 5:30 pm. This meeting will showcase varieties of strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries and currants. Please contact either Nourse Farms (413-665-2658) or me (413-545-4347) for more information and directions. Crop Conditions: Strawberries: Wet weather during bloom has set the stage for high pressure for fruit rot diseases in strawberries. Regular fungicide applications during the bloom period should reduce, but may not eliminate fruit rot from the fields this year. (See the article on Botrytis Fruit Rot in the previous issue of Berry Notes) On the bright side, we have had few frost events this year (especially when compared to last year) so fruit set is very high.

  • Pests of Berries
    Home & Garden Pest Management Guide For British Columbia 2019 Edition Chapter 11 Pests of Berries Pests of Berries This chapter describes insect and disease problems of berries, and provides information on how to manage them. The first section describes pests that affect many different berry crops, followed by sections on pests of specific berry crops. Management information describes preventative and cultural measures that may control the pest. Sometimes the management information also mentions use of pesticides. When more than one pesticide is mentioned, the least toxic pesticide is listed first. Before using a pesticide read and follow label directions, including the precautions, application rates and days-to-harvest after a pesticide application. See the “Pesticide Table” in Appendix I for information on available home garden pesticides. Also read Chapter 8 "Using Pesticides to Manage Pests". It contains important safety information. Proper identification of plant pests and diseases is an important step before attempting to control the pest. Not all plant problems are caused by pests; some are caused by cultural, nutritional, soil or environmental conditions. See Chapter 2, “Identification of Plant Problems”, for information on how to get help identifying plant problems. Pests Affecting Many Berry Crops Insects Aphids Aphids feed on most berry crops and can be significant pests. There are many species of aphids, and many feed specifically on a host crop (raspberry aphid, strawberry aphid, blueberry aphid, currant/lettuce aphid), however, some feed on a variety of crops (green peach aphid). Aphids are small (1.5 - 3 mm), pear-shaped, insects that vary in colour from pink to green and black.
