SUSTAINABLE CITRUS PRODUCTION IS POSSIBLE UNDER ENDEMIC HUANGLONGBING CONDITIONS PRODUCCIÓN SOSTENIBLE DE CÍTRICOS ES POSIBLE EN CONDICIONES ENDEMICAS DE HUANGLONGBING J.H. Graham University of Florida, IFAS, Citrus Research & Education Center, Lake Alfred, FL 33850 Huanglongbing (HLB; aka, Citrus Greening) associated with the phloem-limited psyllid-transmitted bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), is the most devastating citrus disease worldwide. Since discovery of HLB in 2005, Florida citrus production has declined more than 60% and yield losses continue to increase there and in most other HLB-affected industries in the American subtropics, including Cuba. Despite all attempts to control the psyllid vector, in the absence of tree removal to reduce the inoculum reservoir, Las spreads to 100% of the tree population within 5-10 years after pathogen introduction. After psyllid transmission into the immature foliage the bacterium moves downward via phloem to the fibrous roots where multiplies to populations that cause root damage and yield losses of ≥ 30% before overt decline symptoms are expressed in the canopy. Upward movement of the bacterium directed by phloem flow results in irregular distribution in the tree canopy and sporadic expression of leaf symptoms, such that molecular detection of the bacterium and visual identification of diseased trees are inconsistent. The detection in fibrous roots and reduction of root density are more reliable for identification of diseased trees especially in the earliest stages of infection. In Florida, efforts to live with HLB have met with mixed success, e.g., simply enhancing fertilizer nutrient supply does not prevent initial yield loss of up to 50%, but increased nutrient supply is necessary for uptake of essential nutrients after root health has been stabilized by appropriate horticultural management practices. Fertilization and irrigation schedules that supply water and nutrients more frequently at shorter intervals are required to maintain availability for uptake by the reduced root system. Soil and water management practices that increase soil cation exchange, nutrient availability by pH control, and water holding capacity of Florida’s fine sand soils have sustained recovery of tree yields when integrated with properly-adapted rootstock cultivars. Keywords: Citrus greening, root health, fertilization and irrigation management Miércoles, abril 13/ Wednesday April 13th. DESARROLLO DE NUEVAS TECNOLOGÍAS PARA LA GESTIÓN INTELIGENTE DE LAS MALEZAS: LA EXPERIENCIA EUROPEA DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR SMART WEED MANAGEMENT: THE EUROPEAN EXPERIENCE C. Fernández-Quintanilla(1) (1) Instituto de Ciencias Agrarias, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Madrid, España. Email: [email protected] El concepto de agricultura de precisión está avanzando rápidamente en Europa. Su objetivo principal es minimizar el uso de insumos, con los consiguientes beneficios económicos y medioambientales. Dicho concepto implica el uso de una serie de tecnologías (sistemas GPS, Sistemas de Información Geográfica, sensores, medios aéreos, etc) que ya han alcanzado un considerable grado de madurez. En el ámbito específico de la gestión de las malezas, las investigaciones realizadas en España y en otros países europeos han permitido disponer de drones para la inspección aérea de malezas en diversos cultivos, así como de diversos sensores terrestres que permiten llevar a cabo dicha misión con un mayor grado de precisión. Asimismo, se han desarrollado equipos de actuación inteligentes, tanto químicos como físicos, y vehículos

Chivers1, Kate Robson Brown2, Fabio A. Sarria-S1, Matthew Walker1 and Fernando Montealegre-Z1,* ABSTRACT often a morphological challenge owing to the power and size of their Animals use sound for communication, with high-amplitude signals sound production mechanisms (Bennet-Clark, 1998; Prestwich, being selected for attracting mates or deterring rivals. High 1994). Many animals therefore produce sounds by coupling the amplitudes are attained by employing primary resonators in sound- initial sound-producing structures to mechanical resonators that producing structures to amplify the signal (e.g. avian syrinx). Some increase the amplitude of the generated sound at and around their species actively exploit acoustic properties of natural structures to resonant frequencies (Fletcher, 2007). This also serves to increase enhance signal transmission by using these as secondary resonators the sound radiating area, which increases impedance matching (e.g. tree-hole frogs). Male bush-crickets produce sound by tegminal between the structure and the surrounding medium (Bennet-Clark, stridulation and often use specialised wing areas as primary 2001). Common examples of these kinds of primary resonators are resonators. Interestingly, Acanthacara acuta, a Neotropical bush- the avian syrinx (Fletcher and Tarnopolsky, 1999) or the cicada cricket, exhibits an unusual pronotal inflation, forming a chamber tymbal (Bennet-Clark, 1999). In addition to primary resonators, covering the wings. It has been suggested that such pronotal some animals have developed morphological or behavioural chambers enhance amplitude and tuning of the signal by adaptations that act as secondary resonators, further amplifying constituting a (secondary) Helmholtz resonator.

[email protected] and [email protected] ABSTRACT — A new species of Eutrachytes (Eutrachytes flagellatus) is described based on a complete ontogenetic series, starting from larva and including the adult female and male. This Uropodina mite was isolated from the pneumatophore surface of Avicennia officinalis having algal (Bostryschia sp.) growth in Goa, India. Notable morphological attributes pecu- liar to immature instars of this species include a flagellate tubular dorsolateral respiratory structure extending from the peritreme, nude pygidial shields in the adult male and female and a deep concave formation at the posterolateral margins of the dorsal shield. A taxonomic discussion with salient diagnostic features of the genus is given and a key to genera of the family is pre- sented. We present two nomenclature modifications: Deraiophoridae syn. nov. as the junior synonym of Eutrachytidae and Den- tibaiulus Hirschmann, 1979 syn. nov. as a junior synonym of Eutrachytes Berlese, 1914. A compiled list of all new species discovered to date from mangrove roots in different parts of the world is given.

  • The Burrow Morphology of Mole Crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae): Terminology and Comparisons
    The burrow morphology of mole crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae): terminology and comparisons Ed Baker December 2016 Abstract Since the publication of [1] three additional burrow casts, unknown to the author, were located in the Natural History Museum, London (NHM) collection by George Beccaloni. These casts were provisionally identified as Gryllotalpa ?vineae. In order to establish whether this identification was correct a literature survey of the casts of mole crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) was conducted. Through this process a standardised ter- minology for mole cricket burrows has been established. The application of eccentricity measurements to burrow structures has identified measurements that can potentially be used to discriminate those species for which suitably detailed burrow descriptions have been made available. It is demonstrated that the eccentricity of the restrictions on either side of the bulb, as well as the eccentricity of the horn opening, are useful diagnostic characters.

  • A Bombardier Beetle Pheropsophus Aequinoctialis (L.) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Carabidae)1 Gregory Parrow and Adam Dale2
    EENY-765 A Bombardier Beetle Pheropsophus aequinoctialis (L.) (Insecta: Coleoptera: Carabidae)1 Gregory Parrow and Adam Dale2 Introduction aequinoctialis typically inhabits riverbanks, sandbars, or in soils adjacent to bodies of freshwater, areas where Pheropsophus aequinoctialis (L.) is a carabid beetle in the Neoscapteriscus mole cricket species also inhabit (Frank et tribe Brachinini that is native to parts of South and Central al. 2009). America (Frank et al. 2009). Ground beetles of this tribe are commonly referred to as bombardier beetles due to their ability to produce a powerful and hot defensive chemical spray directed at would-be predators (Ferreira and Terra 1989). This spray is capable of harming humans, resulting in discomfort, physical burns (due to the spray temperature), and possibly contact dermatitis. In rare cases, systemic reactions requiring more urgent medical attention have been reported (Pardal et al. 2016). The adults of this species (Figure 1) are nocturnal and believed to be generalist predators and scavengers. However, larval stages (Figures 2 and 3) appear to depend on an exclusive diet of Figure 1.
