The wheat has no known wheat midge resistant genes present, and the reason for the reduced seed damage is unknown. Contact [email protected] 8.3.2 Andew Dornan, Bayer Crop Science, provided information on MOVENTO, a new insecticide targeted for aphid control. Movento, a broad spectrum insecticide for sucking insect pest control from Bayer Crop Science, was registered in the spring and launched in the summer of 2008. Movento has a new and unique mode of action, Lipid Biosynthesis Inhibition (LBI). The insecticide inhibits lipogenesis, decreasing the lipid content, especially triglycerides and free fatty acids, in treated insects. It is a two-way systemic product that moves up and down the plant after foliar application. The 240 SC formulation requires a non-ionic adjuvant, Agral 90/AgSurf, for optimum performance. It is a Group 23 product, the same as Envidor and Forbid. The product is intended for a broad range of vegetable and fruit crops, including brassica vegetables, cucurbits, fruiting and leafy vegetables, potatoes and other tubers, pome fruits, stone fruits, and grapes, with current minor use labels on onion, sweet corn, artichoke, and high bush blueberries. Targeted pests include aphids, mealybugs, scale, pear psylla, and phylloxera. Movento represents an excellent rotation partner with currently used products. Biological characteristics of Movento are activity primarily via ingestion, with minimal contact activity, no exhibited antifeeding effects, excellent residual control with reduced fecundity and survival of offspring, and no cross- resistance to insecticides from other chemical classes. There are strong effects on fecundity, fertility, and survivability of progeny. Symptomology of exposure to green peach aphid Myzus persicae include incomplete ecdysis and subsequent death; nymphs that successfully complete ecdysis are subject to rapid dehydration; adult females accumulate nymphs and die. The product is classified as harmless to slightly harmful on 2 predatory bugs (Anthocoris sp, Macrolophus sp and Orius spp), predatory mites (Typhlodromus pyri), ladybird beetles (Coccinella), completely harmless to parasitioids (Trichogramma), and of low risk to honey bees in acute contact and acute oral tests. 8.3.3 Scott Macdonald discussed ALVERDE, a new insecticide from BASF not currently registered in Canada. Metaflumizone is in a new class of chemistry (group 22B, semicarbazone) with a unique binding site that blocks voltage-dependent sodium channels directly without requiring bioactivation. Feeding ceases within several hours and death results from paralysis. There is no known cross-resistance to pyrethroids, oxime carbamates, organophosphates, or benzoylureas such as diflubenzuron. ALVERDE is extremely effective against many pest Lepidopteran and Coleopteran insects such as Colorado potato beetle and European corn borer. The product has been submitted for registration in Canada, USA and other countries for insect control in potato, leafy vegetables, fruiting vegetables and brassicaceous vegetables. ALVERDE has low toxicity to workers, wildlife and beneficial insects. ALVERDE at 110-196 g/ha was evaluated against pirate bugs (Orius), lacewings (Chrysopa), lady beetles (Hippodamia), wasps (Trichogramma), damsel bugs (Nabis), spiders, big-eyed bugs (Geocoris), predatory mites (Amblyseius) and earwigs. It was observed to be significantly less toxic than commercial rates of cyhalothrin, cyfluthrin, thiodicarb, acephate, chlorpyrifos, profenofos, and esfenvalerate, and comparable to spinosad in test results on these beneficial insects and mites. ALVERDE is compatible with IPM and resistance management practices and is an excellent fit in IPM programs. For more information, contact BASF Canada - Scott MacDonald, Specialty Products Manager [email protected] 8.3.4 Jay Robinson of MPT Mustard Products & Technologies gave a presentation on the company’s activities. MPT works to research, develop and manufacture a variety of agricultural products that utilize the unique properties of mustard. All MPT products are entirely bio-degradable and many are organic. MPT is currently working on an array of products ranging from herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, soil-fumigants and organic fertilizers. They are testing their products in a variety of areas from professional turf, ornamentals, potatoes, carrots and numerous other agricultural crops. MPT is interested in investigating trials on the potential control of cabbage maggots, along with any other pests of concern that are soil bound and spend substantial parts of their life cycle in the soil or root system. 9.0 Special Reports 9.1 Wheat Midge: 9.1.1 Rory Degenhardt, Dow AgroSciences, presented a report of the 2008 wheat midge outbreak from Dow’s perspective. (Appendix V). page 62 9.1.2 Guy Ash, Canadian Wheat Board, discussed the Canadian Agriculture Weather Network. CWAN is involved in wheat midge model development testing and validation. With 450 weather stations currently operating, the goal is 2000 weather stations across western Canada. Data is updated in the field every 3 seconds, and sent to the control centre every 6 seconds; transmission back to the field can take up to a minute. The Wheat Midge model, developed by Ash and Grenier, is in the public domain and is not for sale. 9.2 Wheat Midge Round Table - items discussed included degree days, data acquisition, needs and requirements of the CWB wheat midge model Meers: model likely wouldn’t work for midge on irrigated wheat south of traditional wheat growing areas of AB 3 Philip: moisture accumulation prior to heading may be critical; higher moisture in spring near Creston, BC – perhaps that’s why midge is a problem there - work by AAFC indicates 20 mm of rain in May is critical to trigger WM development; historic literature reports wheat midge having a 2 or 3 yr life cycle or longer in Europe Wise: in Canada almost all midge emerge in the next season – cold enough

  • Impact of Temperature and Relative Humidity on the Eye-Spotted Bud Moth, Spilonota Ocellana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): a Climate Change Perspective
    Impact of temperature and relative humidity on the eye-spotted bud moth, Spilonota ocellana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): a climate change perspective by Jolene Ann Swain B.Sc., University of Alberta, 2008 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in the Department of Biological Sciences Faculty of Science © Jolene A. Swain 2016 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2016 Approval Name: Jolene Ann Swain Degree: Master of Science Title: Impact of temperature and relative humidity on the eye-spotted bud moth, Spilonota ocellana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae): a climate change perspective Examining Committee: Chair: Dr. Vicky Marlatt Assistant Professor Dr. Jenny Cory Senior Supervisor Professor Dr. Tony Williams Supervisor Professor Dr. Dave Gillespie Supervisor Research Scientist, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Dr. Gary Judd Supervisor Research Scientist, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Dr. Gerhard Gries External Examiner Professor Date Defended/Approved: April 15, 2016 ii Abstract Global climate change models predict an increase in the frequency, severity and duration of extreme weather events. Weather extremes are important for poikilothermic species limited by their capacity to withstand conditions beyond their optimum for survival and development. To understand insect population dynamics, and forecast outbreaks in agro-ecosystems, we need a better understanding of the biology of insect pests of concern. In this study, I explored physiological responses of Spilonota ocellana (Denis and Schiffermüller) in the context of spring frost and summer drought, by focusing on the most vulnerable life stages. I determined that S. ocellana spring larval instars are susceptible to temperatures above their mean supercooling point (SCP) which ranged from -9.1 ± 0.2 °C (4th instar) to -7.9 ± 0.2 °C (6th instar).

Brown 2 and Joaquín Baixeras 3 1 USDA-APHIS-PPQ-S&T, 2301 Research Boulevard, Suite 108, Fort Collins, CO 80526, USA 2 Department of Entomology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC 20560, USA; [email protected] 3 Institut Cavanilles de Biodiversitat i Biologia Evolutiva, Universitat de València, Carrer Catedràtic José Beltran, 2, 46980 Paterna, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 13 August 2020; Accepted: 29 August 2020; Published: 3 September 2020 Simple Summary: The family Tortricidae includes approximately 11,500 species of small moths, many of which are economically important pests worldwide. A large number of tortricid species have been inadvertently introduced into North America from Eurasia, and many have the potential to inflict considerable negative economic and ecological impacts. Because native species behave differently than introduced species, it is critical to distinguish between the two. Unfortunately, this can be a difficult task. In the past, many tortricids discovered in North America were assumed to be the same as their Eurasian counterparts, i.e., Holarctic. Using DNA sequence data, morphological characters, food plants, and historical records, we analyzed the origin of 151 species of Tortricidae present in North America. The results indicate that the number of Holarctic species has been overestimated by at least 20%. We also determined that the number of introduced tortricids in North America is unexpectedly high compared other families, with tortricids accounting for approximately 23–30% of the total number of moth and butterfly species introduced to North America.

  • Caterpillars on the Foliage of Conifers in the Northeastern United States 1 Life Cycles and Food Plants
    INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Coniferous forests are important features of the North American landscape. In the Northeast, balsam fir, spruces, or even pines may dominate in the more northern forests. Southward, conifers still may be prevalent, although the pines become increasingly important. In dry, sandy areas, such as Cape Cod of Massachusetts and the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, hard pines abound in forests composed of relatively small trees. Conifers are classic symbols of survival in harsh environments. Forests of conifers provide not only beautiful scenery, but also livelihood for people. Coniferous trees are a major source of lumber for the building industry. Their wood can be processed to make paper, packing material, wood chips, fence posts, and other products. Certain conifers are cultivated for landscape plants and, of course, Christmas trees. Trees of coniferous forests also supply shelter or food for many species of vertebrates, invertebrates, and even plants. Insects that call these forests home far outnumber other animals and plants. Because coniferous forests tend to be dominated by one to a few species of trees, they are especially susceptible to injury during outbreaks of insects such as the spruce budworm, Choristoneura fumiferana, the fall hemlock looper, Lambdina fiscellaria fiscellaria, or the pitch pine looper, Lambdina pellucidaria. Trees that are defoliated by insects suffer reduced growth and sometimes even death. Trees stressed by defoliation, drought, or mechanical injury, are generally more susceptible to attack by wood-boring beetles, diseases, and other organisms. These secondary pests also may kill trees. Stress or tree death can have a negative economic impact upon forest industries.
