Printed in Brazil Reaction of tangerines genotypes to Elsinoe fawcettii under natural infection conditions Marcelo Claro de Souza1*, Eduardo Sanches Stuchi2 and Antonio de Goes3 Received 11 February 2010 Accepted 30 September 2010 ABSTRACT - A citrus scab disease, caused by Elsinoe fawcettii, is currently found in all citrus areas throughout Brazil. That being, given the importance of this casual agent, the behavior of tangerines and hybrids influenced by this pathogen was evaluated under natural infection conditions. This study was performed with plants around 15 years old without irrigation; 100 fruits of three plants were collected during harvest season, using a grade scale varying from 0 (absence of symptoms) to 6 (severe symptoms) the level of disease severity was determined. Among the cultivars, citrus scab resistance was observed in Citrus deliciosa, C. tangerina, C. nobilis; a mandarin hybrid (C. nobilis x C. deliciosa) and a satsuma hybrid (C. unshiu x C. sinensis). Among the other genotypes, symptoms were observed with levels of severity ranging from 1 to 3, indicating moderate resistance. Key words: Citrus scab, citrus crop, resistant varieties.

Abstract — Three new genera, Anaplusia gen. n., Extremoplusia gen. n. and Scriptoplusia gen. n. and one new species, Scriptoplusia noona sp. n. are described and an annotated list of 50 species from N America, Africa and the Oriental Region is given. With 26 figures and 1 photoplate. In 1986Ihadtthe opportunity to study the Palaeotropical, Nearctic and Indo-Australian Plusiinae material of the Zoological Museum of Copenhagen. During the course of this work I could study in details some species which had not been relagated to any described genera. These studies, based on the external and genitalic morphology including the characteristics of the vesica, have shown the necessity to erect three new genera for these taxa. — The whole material contains specimens of 50 species, one of them is new for science and there are several previously unknown distribution records of the species. I would like to express my thanks to Dr. Ole Karsholt (Zool. Mus., Copenhagen) for his exten­ sive help in this work and also to Dr. L. Gozmány (Budapest) for his useful advice. 1. DESCRIPriON OF THE NEW TAXA It is an interesting fact that there are some species, distributed over the Eastern-South­ eastern border of the Palaearctic Region to Indonesia, Australia and New Guinea, which appear to be remote from any well-known genera of the Eastern Tropical Plusiinae.

Pooni Department of Zoology, Punjabi University, Patiala-147 002, Punjab, India E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Eighteen species belonging to 14 genera viz., Deuterocopus Zeller (Deuterocopinae), Oxyptilus Zeller, Sphenarches Meyrick, Stenoptilia Hübner, Stenoptilodes Zimmerman, Lantanophaga Zimmerman, Amblyptilia Hübner, Gypsochares Meyrick, Exelastis Meyrick, Tomotilus Yano, Procapperia Adamczewski, Megalorrhipida Amsel, Prichotilus gen. nov. and Stenodacma Amsel (Pterophorinae) of the respective subfamily of the family Pterophoridae (Pterophoroidea) have been collected from northwestern India and dealt with taxonomically. Key to the presently examined 13 genera of the subfamily Pterophorinae has been prepared on the basis of wing venation and male and female genitalic characters. Further, keys to the species of the genera such as Exelastis Meyrick, Megalorrhipida Amsel and Stenodacma Amsel represented by more than one species have also been furnished. The genus Tomotilus Yano is being reported for the first time from India. The distribution of the species Deuterocopus planeta Meyrick, Stenoptilia petraea Meyrick, Stenoptilodes taprobanes (Felder and Rogenhöfer), Amblyptilia forcipeta (Zeller), Exelastis phlyctaenias Meyrick, Procapperia pelecyntes (Meyrick) and Trichoptilus bidens Meyrick stands updated through an addition of more localities from northwestern India. Three new species, one of genus Lantanophaga and two of genus Megalorrhipida have been reported from the area, under reference. Besides giving an illustrated account of the new species, the genitalic account of already known species have been added to improve the descriptive account of these biological species.

    CITRUS BUDWOOD Annual Report 2017-2018 Citrus Nurseries affected by Hurricane Irma, September 2017 Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Our Vision The Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration will be diligent in providing high yielding, pathogen tested, quality budlines that will positively impact the productivity and prosperity of our citrus industry. Our Mission The Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration administers a program to assist growers and nurserymen in producing citrus nursery trees that are believed to be horticulturally true to varietal type, productive, and free from certain recognizable bud-transmissible diseases detrimental to fruit production and tree longevity. Annual Report 2018 July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018 Bureau of Citrus Budwood Registration Ben Rosson, Chief This is the 64th year of the Citrus Budwood Registration Program which began in Florida in 1953. Citrus budwood registration and certification programs are vital to having a healthy commercial citrus industry. Clean stock emerging from certification programs is the best way to avoid costly disease catastrophes in young plantings and their spread to older groves. Certification programs also restrict or prevent pathogens from quickly spreading within growing areas. Regulatory endeavors have better prospects of containing or eradicating new disease outbreaks if certification programs are in place to control germplasm movement. Budwood registration has the added benefit in allowing true-to-type budlines to be propagated. The selection of high quality cultivars for clonal propagation gives growers uniform plantings of high quality trees. The original mother stock selected for inclusion in the Florida budwood program is horticulturally evaluated for superior performance, either by researchers, growers or bureau staff.

    Strategies to Develop Effective, Innovative and Practical Approaches to Protect Major European Fruit Crops from Pests and Pathogens (Grant Agreement No

    DROPSA, December 2016 This short description was prepared in the framework of the EU FP7 project DROPSA - Strategies to develop effective, innovative and practical approaches to protect major European fruit crops from pests and pathogens (grant agreement no. 613678). This pest was listed in the DROPSA alert list for Vitis fruit. Nippoptilia vitis (Lepidoptera: Pterophoridae) Fruit pathway: Larvae of N. vitis damage leaves, stems and fruit (Biosecurity New Zealand 2009). Damage results in severe fruit fall and partially abnormal fruit (Biosecurity Australia 2011). Larvae feed inside the fruit and seeds of grape, usually causing the young fruit to drop (Biosecurity Australia 2011a). The larvae bore into the fruit from the stem end, feeding on the pulp and seed, eggs are laid on pedicels within the grape bunch. The larvae pupate on leaves or on fruit. Some fruit shrink, dry and remain on the bunch, but most berries drop to the ground after 3-5 days (Biosecurity Australia 2011). The larvae are large. If they remain on grape bunches at harvest, they are likely to be detected and removed during harvesting or packing processes. One larva can damage over ten berries. Grape bunches with several berries missing are unlikely to be picked or packed for export (ADA 2014). There is an uncertainty if this species would be on the pathway. Other pathways: Plants for planting, soil: The larvae also feed on the leaves, stems (Biosecurity New Zealand 2009) and flowers (Biosecurity Australia 2011) of grapevines. Adults overwinter in grasses, cracks in the soil or within dead branches or leaf folds (ADA 2014).
  • Eco-Climatic Assessment of the Potential Establishment of Exotic Insects in New Zealand

    Eco-Climatic Assessment of the Potential Establishment of Exotic Insects in New Zealand

    Eco-climatic assessment of the potential establishment of exotic insects in New Zealand A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Lora Peacock Lincoln University 2005 Contents Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of PhD Eco-climatic assessment of the potential establishment of exotic insects in New Zealand Lora Peacock To refine our knowledge and to adequately test hypotheses concerning theoretical and applied aspects of invasion biology, successful and unsuccessful invaders should be compared. This study investigated insect establishment patterns by comparing the climatic preferences and biological attributes of two groups of polyphagous insect species that are constantly intercepted at New Zealand's border. One group of species is established in New Zealand (n = 15), the other group comprised species that are not established (n = 21). In the present study the two groups were considered to represent successful and unsuccessful invaders. To provide background for interpretation of results of the comparative analysis, global areas that are climatically analogous to sites in New Zealand were identified by an eco­ climatic assessment model, CLIMEX, to determine possible sources of insect pest invasion. It was found that south east Australia is one of the regions that are climatically very similar to New Zealand. Furthermore, New Zealand shares 90% of its insect pest species with that region. South east Australia has close trade and tourism links with New Zealand and because of its proximity a new incursion in that analogous climate should alert biosecurity authorities in New Zealand.
