  • Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle
    Integrated Pest Management for Raspberry Beetle Order: Coleoptera Family: Byturidae Species: Byturus unicolor The raspberry beetle, also known as the raspberry fruitworm, is a product contaminant pest found in raspberry fields in Washington. The larvae, or fruitworm, may fall off with the fruit during machine harvest. This pest has often been controlled by a diazinon treatment at 5% bloom, before pollinators are brought into the field. The United States Environmental Protection Agency is seeking to reduce the use of organophosphates, such as diazinon, through higher restrictions and cancellations. New monitoring tools for the raspberry beetle have been developed and tested in Whatcom County. The Rebell® Bianco white sticky trap can be used to detect raspberry beetle levels in a field. This may help in determining what treatment, if any, is Figure 1: Adult raspberry required for control of the pest. beetle on a raspberry bud Biology: The adult raspberry beetle is between 0.15 and 0.2” in length, a reddish brown color with short hairs covering its whole body (see figure 1). Overwintering in the soil, the adult emerges in the spring between mid-April and mid-May depending on soil temperatures. The adults feed on leaves, often on the new primocane leaves, but in areas of high populations they will also feed on upper floricane leaves. Adults are then attracted to flower buds and blooms where mating and, subsequently, ovipositing occurs. Larvae (or fruitworm) emerge from the eggs on the flower or immature fruit and begin feeding on the receptacle. The larvae are between 0.1” and 0.25” in length depending on the time of season.

La primera población, provenía de Xalapa, México, y fue originalmente colectada y criada sobre pupas de la Mosca Mexicana de la Fruta, Anastrepha ludens Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae). La segunda población, originaria de Athens, Georgia, fue colectada y criada sobre prepupas de avispas de barro, Trypoxylon politum Say (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae). Estudios de PCR de la región ITS2 confi rmaron que ambas poblaciones del parasitoide pertenecen a la misma especie; lo que nos provee de un perfi l molecular taxonómico muy útil debído a que las hembras de las diversas especies de Melittobia son superfi cialmente similares. La amplifi cación del gen de superfi cie de proteina (wsp) de Wolbachia confi rmó la presencia de este endosimbionte en ambas poblaciones.

Publication is MASSACHUSETTS funded in part by the UMass Extension Agroecology Program and grower subscriptions. A text version can be e-mailed to BERRY NOTES you if you contact Sonia Schloemann at 413-545-4347, [email protected]. Please cite this source if reprinting May 27, 2003, Vol. 15, No. 6 information. Volume 15-- 2003 Message from the Editor: Summer Schedule: Berry Notes will appear on a weekly basis for the next 10 weeks or so. I will try to post it each Tuesday by 5:00pm. Any variation on this schedule will be announced a week ahead of time. As always, please feel free to send comments or questions about Berry Notes to me at [email protected]. Twilight Meeting: A twilight meeting will be held on Tuesday June 24, 2003 at Nourse Farms (http://www.noursefarms.com/ ) in Whately, MA starting at 5:30 pm. This meeting will showcase varieties of strawberries, raspberries, gooseberries and currants. Please contact either Nourse Farms (413-665-2658) or me (413-545-4347) for more information and directions. Crop Conditions: Strawberries: Wet weather during bloom has set the stage for high pressure for fruit rot diseases in strawberries. Regular fungicide applications during the bloom period should reduce, but may not eliminate fruit rot from the fields this year. (See the article on Botrytis Fruit Rot in the previous issue of Berry Notes) On the bright side, we have had few frost events this year (especially when compared to last year) so fruit set is very high.

  • Pests of Berries
    Home & Garden Pest Management Guide For British Columbia 2019 Edition Chapter 11 Pests of Berries Pests of Berries This chapter describes insect and disease problems of berries, and provides information on how to manage them. The first section describes pests that affect many different berry crops, followed by sections on pests of specific berry crops. Management information describes preventative and cultural measures that may control the pest. Sometimes the management information also mentions use of pesticides. When more than one pesticide is mentioned, the least toxic pesticide is listed first. Before using a pesticide read and follow label directions, including the precautions, application rates and days-to-harvest after a pesticide application. See the “Pesticide Table” in Appendix I for information on available home garden pesticides. Also read Chapter 8 "Using Pesticides to Manage Pests". It contains important safety information. Proper identification of plant pests and diseases is an important step before attempting to control the pest. Not all plant problems are caused by pests; some are caused by cultural, nutritional, soil or environmental conditions. See Chapter 2, “Identification of Plant Problems”, for information on how to get help identifying plant problems. Pests Affecting Many Berry Crops Insects Aphids Aphids feed on most berry crops and can be significant pests. There are many species of aphids, and many feed specifically on a host crop (raspberry aphid, strawberry aphid, blueberry aphid, currant/lettuce aphid), however, some feed on a variety of crops (green peach aphid). Aphids are small (1.5 - 3 mm), pear-shaped, insects that vary in colour from pink to green and black.

A Preliminary, Annotated List of Beetles (Insecta: Coleoptera) from the UW-Milwaukee Field Station Daniel K. Young Department of Entomology, University of Wisconsin-Madison [email protected] Abstract: Coleoptera, the beetles, account for nearly 25% of all known animal species, and nearly 18% of all described species of life on the planet. Their species richness is equal to the number of all plant species in the world and six times the number of all vertebrate species. They are found almost everywhere, yet many minute or cryptic species go virtually un-noticed even by trained naturalists. Little wonder, then, that such a dominant group might pass through time relatively unknown to most naturalists, hobbyists, and even entomologists; even an elementary comprehension of the beetle fauna of our own region has not been attempted. A single, fragmentary and incomplete list of beetle species was published for Wisconsin in the late 1800’s; the last three words of the final entry merely say, “to be continued.” The present, preliminary, survey chronicles nothing more than a benchmark, a definitive starting point from which to build.

Note: This profile is a comprehensive list of pests that may be encountered by New England raspberry growers, and the approved pesticides that may be used to control them. Only a few pests actually require treatment on an individual farm in a single year. For each pest all of the available effective options are listed. If treatment is needed, only one of those options would be used per application. Some pests require multiple applications for control, others only require a single application. 1 The Crop Profile/PMSP database, including this document, is supported by USDA NIFA.

Alaska has a limited taxonomic workforce to address these changes. We are building a DNA barcode library to facilitate a metabarcoding approach to monitoring non-marine arthropods. Working with the Canadian Centre for DNA Barcoding, we obtained DNA barcodes from recently collected and authoritatively identified specimens in the University of Alaska Museum Insect Collection and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge collection.
