Add the required amount of product to water while under agitation. Agitate while spraying. Application Dilute Spraying (Citrus only): Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run off. Avoid excessive run off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run off. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer setup and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows. Concentrate Spraying (Citrus only): Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume.

Banjo, O.A. Lawal and S.A. Aina Department of Plant Science and Applied Zoology, Olabisi Onabanjo University, Ago Iwoye, P.M.B. 2002, Ogun State, Nigeria Abstract: Insects associated with Vernonia amygdalina, Bryophyllum pinnatum, Boerheavia diffusa, Spondias mombin, Gliricidia sepium and Momordica charantia were surveyed. Insects found on the plants parts include Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Orthoptera, Lepidoptera, Dictyoptera, Homoptera and Isoptera. The species richness, diversity index and the similarly index between paired plant species were also calculated. The results of similarity and diversity indexes were influenced by the weather, which fluctuated during the period of study. The Hymenoptera was the most abundant order on Vernonia amygdalina, Boerheavia diffusa, Spondias mombin, Gliricidia sepium and Momordica charantia accounting for 44.6, 64.5, 45.2, 56.4 and 42.02%, respectively. Diptera occur the most on Brophyllum pinnatum with 40.4% share of the total population.

  • LBAM Is the Key Insect Pest in Adelaide Hills and Mclaren Vale Vineyards
    LBAM is the key insect pest in Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale vineyards Mary Retallack1, Michael A Keller1 1 The University of Adelaide, PMB 1 Glen Osmond, SA 5064. Corresponding author’s email: [email protected] Introduction • Epiphyas postvittana, light brown apple moth (LBAM) is considered to be the key insect pest that causes economic damage in Australian vineyards each season. • LBAM causes damage to flower clusters, resulting in yield losses and damage to berry skins. Damaged skins provide infection sites for moulds like Botrytis cinerea, which result in a reduction in fruit quality and yield losses. • Recent observations suggested that leafroller species of Tortricidae other than E. postvittana may be causing damage in Australian vineyards. • It is not possible to identify larvae of Tortricidae in the field using morphological characters, so analysis of DNA sequences is required for the correct identification of species. Aims To identify which species of Tortricidae are present in grapevine canopies of Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale vineyards. Light Brown Apple Moth Lucerne leafroller Acropolitis rudisana Epiphyas postvittana Merophyas divulsana Methodology • Larvae of Tortricidae were collected from grapevine canopies. • Samples were collected weekly from mid-October to mid-December in seasons 2014/15 and 2015/16. • Specimens were collected from fifteen vineyards and eight wine grape varieties. • DNA sequences (CO1) from each specimen were used to identify species. Specimens of Tortricidae collected from grapevine canopies Results 100% 96.1% A total of 433 moth larvae were collected from wine grape canopies (64 larvae in 2014/15 and 369 in 2015/16). 50% 407 of these larvae were Tortricidae.
