INNS are increasingly abundant in Great Britain and in Europe generally and their impact is rising. Hence, INNS are the subject of considerable concern in Great Britain, prompting the development of a Non-Native Species Strategy and the formation of the GB Non-Native Species Programme Board and Secretariat.

In addition to numerous insects Thiodan also controls gall mites (Eriophyidae) and soft or broad mites (Tarsonemidae) damaging crops. Endosulfan acts via the GABA receptor system (opening the chloride transport, increasing glutamate level). It penetrates into the insect via the tracheas, by ingestion, and has some contact activity. When applied to plants, endosulfan can penetrate into plant tissue without developing systemic action. The product is hydrolysed by aqueous alkalis and acids to produce endosulfan diol. The lethal effect on the insect may be seen only after several hours (12-24), there is no “knock down effect”, first symptom is mainly tremor. Endosulfan is for use in arable crops and greenhouse use in agriculture, horticulture, orchards, forestry and nurseries. The harmful organism controlled by crops are summarised in table 3.1-1.

  • Arthropod Pests of Currant and Gooseberry Crops in the U.K.: Their Biology, Management and Future Prospects
    Agricultural and Forest Entomology (2011), DOI: 10.1111/j.1461-9563.2010.00513.x REVIEW ARTICLE Arthropod pests of currant and gooseberry crops in the U.K.: their biology, management and future prospects Carolyn Mitchell, Rex M. Brennan, Jerry V. Cross∗ and Scott N. Johnson Scottish Crop Research Institute, Invergowrie, Dundee DD2 5DA, U.K. and ∗East Malling Research, New Road, East Malling, Kent ME19 6BJ, U.K. Abstract 1 Approximately 10–12 species of Ribes plants are cultivated for fruit production, mainly blackcurrants, red- and whitecurrants and gooseberries. These crops are increasingly recognized as rich sources of vitamin C and anthocyanins, with production rising by 24% in Europe subsequent to 1998. To date, research into insect pests of Ribes has been fragmented, with little appreciation of how changes in climate and agronomic practices affect biology. 2 We review 12 key pests of currant and gooseberry crops in Northern Europe, with specific emphasis on their biology and current management options. These are blackcurrant leaf curling midge Dasineura tetensi, blackcurrant sawfly Nematus olfaciens, common gooseberry sawfly Nematus ribesii, European permanent currant aphid Aphis schneideri, redcurrant blister aphid Cryptomyzus ribis, currant–sowthistle aphid Hyperomyzus lactucae, European gooseberry aphid Aphis grossulariae, woolly vine scale Pulvinaria vitis, common green capsid Lygocoris pabulinus, winter moth Operophtera brumata, clear wing moth Synanthedon tipuliformis and blackcurrant gall mite Cecidophyopsis ribis. 3 It is anticipated that global climate change could lead to increases in the incidence of some aphids through increased overwintering survival and longer seasonal activity. Moreover, changes in management practices such as increased cropping densities (from 5400 ha−1 to 8700 ha−1) and machine harvesting could lead to pest outbreaks through optimal microhabitats and increased susceptibility to pest colonization.
