Importation of Fresh Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), Shelled or in Pods, from Jordan into the Continental United States A Qualitative, Pathway-Initiated Risk Assessment February 14, 2011 Version 2 Agency Contact: Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory Center for Plant Health Science and Technology United States Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Plant Protection and Quarantine 1730 Varsity Drive, Suite 300 Raleigh, NC 27606 Pest Risk Assessment for Beans from Jordan Executive Summary In this risk assessment we examined the risks associated with the importation of fresh beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), in pods (French, green, snap, and string beans) or shelled, from the Kingdom of Jordan into the continental United States. We developed a list of pests associated with beans (in any country) that occur in Jordan on any host based on scientific literature, previous commodity risk assessments, records of intercepted pests at ports-of-entry, and information from experts on bean production. This is a qualitative risk assessment, as we express estimates of risk in descriptive terms (High, Medium, and Low) rather than numerically in probabilities or frequencies. We identified seven quarantine pests likely to follow the pathway of introduction. We estimated Consequences of Introduction by assessing five elements that reflect the biology and ecology of the pests: climate-host interaction, host range, dispersal potential, economic impact, and environmental impact. We estimated Likelihood of Introduction values by considering both the quantity of the commodity imported annually and the potential for pest introduction and establishment. We summed the Consequences of Introduction and Likelihood of Introduction values to estimate overall Pest Risk Potentials, which describe risk in the absence of mitigation. -

268 Neue Arten Für Die Saarlandische Lepidopterenfauna Mit Zwei
Abh. DELATTINIA 33: 81 – 112 — Saarbrücken 2007 ISSN 0948-6526 268 neue Lepidopterenarten für das Saarland, 2 neu für Deutschland und 2 neu für Baden-Württemberg Andreas Werno Title: 268 new species of Lepidoptera for the Saarland, 2 new for Germany and 2 new for Baden-Württemberg Kurzfassung: Aus den Saarland werden Erstnachweise von 268 Schmetterlingsarten mit 2 bemerkenswerten Neufunden für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland mitgeteilt und Hinweise über Arten anderer Bundesländer mit 2 Erstnachweisen für Baden-Württemberg gegeben. Die hohe Zahl gemeldeter neuer Arten erklärt sich mit der Auswertung von Sammlungen und durch, erst in den letzten 15 Jahren mehr oder weniger regelmäßig erfolgte, Lichtfangkontrollen, welche die Mikrolepidopteren einbezieht. Abstract: First records of 268 species of Lepidoptera for the Saarland are reported with two remarkable new species for the Federal Republic of Germany and remarks about species of other countries of Germany with 2 new recorded species for Baden-Württemberg. The high number of reported new species is explained by the revision of collections and by light trapping controls, which included the Microlepidoptera, carried trough more or less regularely only in the last 15 years. Keywords: Lepidoptera, new recorded species, Saarland, Baden-Württemberg, Germany 1 Einleitung Seit den letzten Beiträgen des Autors zu neuen Arten für die Lepidopterenfauna des Saarlandes (vgl. WERNO 2001 a und b, SCHMIDT-KOEHL & WERNO 2006 a und b), konnte durch Auswertung von vielen rezenten aber auch älteren Aufsammlungen von „Klein-, und Großschmetterlingen“ wieder eine große Anzahl von neuen Lepidopterenarten für das Saarland festgestellt werden. Die Mitteilung aller interessanten Funde aus den letzten Jahren würde den Rahmen dieser Veröffentlichung sprengen, da schon die Angaben zu den Neufunden 20 Seiten umfassen. -

PRODUCTION of CYDIA POMONELLA GRANULOVIRUS (Cpgv) in a HETERALOGOUS HOST, THAUMATOTIBIA LEUCOTRETA (MEYRICK) (FALSE CODLING MOTH)
PRODUCTION OF CYDIA POMONELLA GRANULOVIRUS (CpGV) IN A HETERALOGOUS HOST, THAUMATOTIBIA LEUCOTRETA (MEYRICK) (FALSE CODLING MOTH). A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY of RHODES UNIVERSITY By CRAIG BRIAN CHAMBERS December 2014 ABSTRACT Cydia pomonella (Linnaeus) (Family: Tortricidae), the codling moth, is considered one of the most significant pests of apples and pears worldwide, causing up to 80% crop loss in orchards if no control measures are applied. Cydia pomonella is oligophagous feeding on a number of alternate hosts including quince, walnuts, apricots, peaches, plums and nectarines. Historically the control of this pest has been achieved with the use of various chemical control strategies which have maintained pest levels below the economic threshold at a relatively low cost to the grower. However, there are serious concerns surrounding the use of chemical insecticides including the development of resistance in insect populations, the banning of various insecticides, regulations for lowering of the maximum residue level and employee and consumer safety. For this reason, alternate measures of control are slowly being adopted by growers such as mating disruption, cultural methods and the use of baculovirus biopesticides as part of integrated pest management programmes. The reluctance of growers to accept baculovirus or other biological control products in the past has been due to questionable product quality and inconsistencies in their field performance. Moreover, the development and application of biological control products is more costly than the use of chemical alternatives. Baculoviruses are arthropod specific viruses that are highly virulent to a number of lepidopteran species. Due to the virulence and host specificity of baculoviruses, Cydia pomonella granulovirus has been extensively and successfully used as part of integrated pest management systems for the control of C. -
Perspectives in Ecological Theory and Integrated Pest Management
Perspectives in Ecological Theory and Integrated Pest Management Since the early days of integrated pest management a sound ecological foundation has been considered essential for the development of effective systems. From time to time, there have been attempts to evaluate the ways in which ecological theory is exploited in pest control, and to review the lessons that ecologists learn from pest management. In the last 20 years there have been many developments within the contribution of ecological theory to integrated pest management, and the objective of this book is to capture some of the new themes in both pest management and ecology that have emerged and to provide an updated assessment of the role that basic ecology plays in the development of rational and sustainable pest management practices. The major themes are examined, assessing the significance and potential impact of recent technological and conceptual developments for the future of integrated pest management. Marcos Kogan is Professor and Director Emeritus of the Integrated Plant Protection Center at Oregon State University. Paul Jepson has been Director of the Integrated Plant Protection Center at Oregon State University since 2002.

Wales Moth List 2019
Wales Moth List (Provisional) A list of all the moth species known to have been recorded in Wales, including species that have been recorded rarely or once only, and which may not have resident breeding populations in Wales. Includes records that may be historic only and species that are now thought to be extinct in Wales (e.g. Conformist). Compiled by Butterfly Conservation Wales using lists supplied by County Moth Recorders. Complete with records up to and including 2019 (2019 new records marked as such). Covers the 13 Welsh vice-counties: Monmouthshire (VC35), Glamorgan (VC41), Breconshire (VC42), Radnorshire (VC43), Carmarthenshire (VC44), Pembrokeshire (VC45), Cardiganshire (VC46), Montgomeryshire (VC47), Merionethshire (VC48), Caernarvonshire (VC49), Denbighshire (VC50), Flintshire (VC51) & Anglesey (VC52).
