I. OBJECTIVES AND NEED FOR ASSISTANCE The purpose of this work is to conduct the Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey program in Florida and assist the Homeland Security initiative. A primary objective of the National CAPS program is to safeguard our nation's food and environmental security from exotic pests that threaten our production and ecological systems. In 2005, cash receipts for Florida's six major commodity products brought in $5.4 billion; however, the impact of new exotic pests was $1.2 billion, an impact of 22% in economic losses. From 1981 to 2010, 579 New State and USA records were recorded for Florida; a significant number of these are directly related to exotic origin enhanced by the increasing levels of global trade and movement of people from foreign countries. Excluding citrus canker eradication efforts, exotic pests have directly cost Florida over $171 million dollars from 1995-2005. Additional pest record statistics are: 2009 Pest Records Established in Florida U.S. Records 7 State Records 9 County Records 161 Host Records 72 Total No. Records 249 2010 Pest Records Established in Florida U.S. Records 18 State Records 18 County Records 157 Host Records 213 Total No. Records 406 Other Survey Records entered into NAPIS 17,666 --------------------------- TOTAL 18,072 With the requested funding, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services/Division of Plant Industry (FDACS/DPI) will continue to conduct field and environs surveys as initiated in FY 2010. FDACS/DPI CAPS program will continue to work in close cooperation with the USDA APHIS PPQ Pest Survey Specialists and State Plant Health Director’s Office to ensure efficient and effective surveys are conducted in Florida. The Florida CAPS Program’s Plant Pest and Disease Survey Office (CAPS/PPDSO) will use plans and recommendations from FDACS/DPI, the Florida CAPS State Survey Committee and the National Page 4 of 35 CAPS Committee to develop survey priorities and work plans. Additionally, as new pests are detected in Florida through FY 2013, survey priorities may be changed to better meet the newly identified introduced pest(s). Survey in high risk areas and commodity fields for designated pests of national and state regulatory concern will be the principle areas of survey and detection focus. The continuing number of exotic plant pests and diseases that become established in Florida’s agricultural and native plant resources remains at significantly elevated levels. Through the past years, our CAPS data manager has entered over 94,300 (up to December, 2011) records into NAPIS from our Gainesville office. This trend will continue with the numbers of tourists and the amount of perishable cargo, mail deliveries and smuggling operations that continue to bring pests (intended or not) to our shores and interior areas round the clock on any given day. Florida’s natural and commercial agricultural resources are being invaded by numbers of exotic pests that were never anticipated. This proposal outlines the continuation of an enhanced state survey program to be conducted by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry (FDACS/DPI). The current Florida DPI CAPS State Survey Program (FL DPI-CSSP) is under the co-direction of a FDACS DPI State Survey Coordinator and a Principal Point of Contact (Assistant Director of the Division of Plant Industry). Current FL DPI-CSSP staff members include three Pest Survey Specialists, a Public Information Specialist and Data Coordinator, a GIS Mapping Specialist, a Laboratory Technician and a Molecular Diagnostician. The FL DPI-CSSP will work closely with the USDA/APHIS PPQ State Plant Health Director’s Office, Domestic Identifier and Pest Survey Specialists to ensure maximum efficiency in co- survey activities from pathway analysis to field surveys and other early detection projects. USDA/APHIS SITC and high risk areas will factor strongly into survey designs and development. Currently, Florida has an excellent survey system for inspection of material received and shipped from nurseries and other facilities that handle agricultural commodities. However, a very limited number of pests are surveyed for in select agricultural crops such as field crops and forest land. A lack of DPI resources has precluded a complete survey effort that should take place in Florida, especially in its fruits, vegetables and field crops. Our homeland security priorities have identified these resources as having a high priority for protection. II. RESULTS OR BENEFITS EXPECTED The FL DPI-CSSP will continue the development, implementation and deployment of a statewide survey program with special emphasis on fruits, vegetables, field crops and citrus. Crops such as sugarcane, potatoes, cotton, tomatoes, ornamentals/nurseries and citrus will receive high priority for systematic survey and reporting. The state survey personnel will liaison with industry stakeholders and other state and federal cooperators (USDA/ARS, DHS/CBP, UF /IFAS Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS Research Centers, Master Gardener Program, and FEMA) to further enhance the state program by reviewing, developing, and implementing educational programs and survey plans. Publications and other educational tools will be developed to enhance the field knowledge of all stakeholders. The FL DPI-CSSP will conduct statewide and regional pest survey workshops for personnel associated with industry, agency and institutional cooperators. Partnerships will be formed to maximize survey efforts and sharing of data. Surveys will focus on detection of non-indigenous pests and include confirmation on the absence of regulatory pests in specific agricultural commodities and associated native plant resources. Data will be acquired via portable computer equipment (PDA’s and GPS receivers) for facile transmission to CAPS data workstations. This information will then be uploaded to the NAPIS or IPHIS or appropriate database as directed by the national CAPS committee. The FL Page 5 of 35 DPI-CSSP will assist in initial survey efforts in the event of the detection of any new exotic pest in Florida. FL DPI-CSSP staff will work with FDACS/DPI taxonomic scientists to develop appropriate training aids and field survey and detection methodology (for example, citrus greening). Once surveys ensue, FL DPI-CSSP staff will consult with the scientists to ensure survey efficacy and effectiveness. Survey samples will also be processed via Remote Digital Identification Workstations (RDIW)

Introduction: Cotton seed bug (CSB), Oxycarenus distinct wingpads that extend to the third abdominal hyalinipennis, is an important global pest of cotton segment (Henry, 1983). (Smith and Brambila, 2008). Native to Africa, CSB is now widespread with distribution in Asia, Europe, Eggs: Egg are 0.29 mm (0.01 in) wide by 0.97 mm Middle East, South America and the Caribbean (Bolu (0.04 in) long and slender with 25 longitudinal ribs or et al., 2020; Halbert and Dobbs, 2010). Cotton seed corrugations. During development, the eggs change from straw yellow to orange or pink (Fig. 2) (Henry, bug infestations can cause weight loss in cottonseed, 1983; Sweet, 2000). decrease seed germination, and reduce oil seed (Henry, 1983). Additionally, when CSB is present in sufficient numbers, cotton fibers become stained during processing (Smith and Brambila, 2008) which results in decreased value. Description: Final identification of CSB is based on the morphology of adult male internal structures (Brambila, 2020).

A new and potentially devastating pest of oaks, Quercus spp., has been discovered in southern California. The goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus coxalis Waterhouse (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), colonizes the sapwood surface and phloem of the main stem and larger branches of at least three species of Quercus in San Diego Co., California. Larval feeding kills patches and strips of the phloem and cambium resulting in crown die back followed by mortality. In a survey of forest stand conditions at three sites in this area, 67% of the Quercus trees were found with external or internal evidence of A. coxalis attack. The literature and known distribution of A. coxalis are reviewed, and similarities in the behavior and impact of this species with other tree-killing Agrilus spp. are discussed. Key Words.

  • The Goldspotted Oak Borer: Revisiting the Status of an Invasive Pest Six Years After 1 Its Discovery
    The Goldspotted Oak Borer: Revisiting the Status of an Invasive Pest Six Years After 1 Its Discovery 2 3 Steven J. Seybold and Tom W. Coleman Abstract The goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus auroguttatus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), was first associated with oak mortality in San Diego County, California in May of 2008. Since that time, a research and survey program has outlined the biology of this flatheaded borer in the invaded and native habitats; delimited the invaded range; and developed the components of an integrated pest management (IPM) program. Significant advances have been made in the understanding of its host range, feeding habits, life cycle, and natural enemies in Arizona and California. Some research progress has also been made on the evaluation of techniques for the detection of the pest and treatments to ameliorate its damage. Since the original discovery, we have learned that A. auroguttatus feeds primarily on red oaks in the section Lobatae and that although its landscape-level impacts unfold slowly, it appears to be capable of killing these trees without the aid of abiotic or other biotic factors. The biology, behavior, and impact of A. auroguttatus have also been contrasted with a less well understood sibling species, the Mexican goldspotted oak borer, Agrilus coxalis. The key questions remaining about A. auroguttatus are: 1) Has sufficient progress been made to facilitate a functional IPM program should the expanding distribution of A. auroguttatus reach the urban oaks of the Los Angeles basin or woodland oaks in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada? and 2) Can we assess the risk and predict the population expansion to these lands? Key words: Agrilus auroguttatus, California black oak, canyon live oak, coast live oak, goldspotted oak borer, mortality agent Introduction The goldspotted oak borer (GSOB), Agrilus auroguttatus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) (fig.
