A New Zealand Endemic Nysius Established in the Netherlands and Belgium (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae)
Belgian Journal ofEntomology 7 (2005) : 37-43 A New Zealand endemic Nysius established in The Netherlands and Belgium (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae) 1 2 2 B. Aukema , J.M. Bruers & G. Viskens 1 Kortenburg 31, 6871 ND Renkum, The Netherlands (email: [email protected]). 2 Jan van Heelulaan 31, 2050 Antwerpen, Belgium (email: [email protected]). Abstract Nysius huttoni (Heteroptera: Lygaeidae), an endemic species from New Zealand was found established in the extreme southwest of The Netherlands (province of Zeeland) and the adjacent Belgian provinces of West-Vlaanderen, Oost-Vlaanderen and Brabant. Data on its biology and pest status are summarized from the literature. Keywords: Nysius hutton~ Europe, introduction, invasive pest. Introduction Since 2002, an unfamiliar but very remarkable "hairy" species of the genus Nysius Dallas, 1852 (Fig. 1) was found at different localities in the extreme southwest of The Netherlands (Province of Zeeland) and the adjacent northwestern part of Belgium (provinces West- and Oost-Vlaanderen and Brabant). The species was not included in the recent monograph of West Palaearctic Lygaeidae by PERICART (1999) and, according to the monograph of Palaearctic species by WAGNER (1958), the species should belong to the formerly recognized subgenus Anorthuna STRAND, 1928. The members ofthis subgenus are characterized by their long erect pubescence, which was present on pronotum, scutellum, clavus, and corium of our specimens (Fig. 1). SLATER (1964), in his catalogue of the Lygaeidae of the World includes only three species in Anorthuna: Nysius atlantidum HORV ATH, 1890 from the Azores (PERICART, 2001), Nysius pilosulus HORVATH, 1904 from Kirgizia and Mongolia (PERICART, 2001), and Nysius vulcanorum LINDBERG, 1958 from the Cape V erde Islands. -
Inventory and Review of Quantitative Models for Spread of Plant Pests for Use in Pest Risk Assessment for the EU Territory1
EFSA supporting publication 2015:EN-795 EXTERNAL SCIENTIFIC REPORT Inventory and review of quantitative models for spread of plant pests for use in pest risk assessment for the EU territory1 NERC Centre for Ecology and Hydrology 2 Maclean Building, Benson Lane, Crowmarsh Gifford, Wallingford, OX10 8BB, UK ABSTRACT This report considers the prospects for increasing the use of quantitative models for plant pest spread and dispersal in EFSA Plant Health risk assessments. The agreed major aims were to provide an overview of current modelling approaches and their strengths and weaknesses for risk assessment, and to develop and test a system for risk assessors to select appropriate models for application. First, we conducted an extensive literature review, based on protocols developed for systematic reviews. The review located 468 models for plant pest spread and dispersal and these were entered into a searchable and secure Electronic Model Inventory database. A cluster analysis on how these models were formulated allowed us to identify eight distinct major modelling strategies that were differentiated by the types of pests they were used for and the ways in which they were parameterised and analysed. These strategies varied in their strengths and weaknesses, meaning that no single approach was the most useful for all elements of risk assessment. Therefore we developed a Decision Support Scheme (DSS) to guide model selection. The DSS identifies the most appropriate strategies by weighing up the goals of risk assessment and constraints imposed by lack of data or expertise. Searching and filtering the Electronic Model Inventory then allows the assessor to locate specific models within those strategies that can be applied. -

Research Article INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL for NEW ZEALAND ENDEMIC WHEAT BUG (Nysius Huttoni) in FORAGE BRASSICAS S. Tiwar
Journal of Agriculture and Forestry University (2020), Vol. 4 145-151 145 Research Article INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL FOR NEW ZEALAND ENDEMIC WHEAT BUG (Nysius huttoni) IN FORAGE BRASSICAS S. Tiwari1*, N. Dickinson2 and S. D. Wratten3 1 Agriculture and Forestry University, Rampur, Chitwan,, Nepal 2 Department of Pest Management and Conservation, Lincoln University, New Zealand 3 Bio-Protection Research Centre, Lincoln University, New Zealand *Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Wheat bug, Nysius huttoni, is considered as an economic pest of forage Brassicas and many other cultivated crops, such as wheat, kale, and vegetables in New Zealand. Insecticides- as seed coatings and sprays are frequently used to manage this pest, but a high proportion of these insecticidal compounds enter the soil and leads to pesticide resistance, and they may impact beneficial arthropods and soil microorganisms, creating an adverse effect on ecosystem services (ES). In this paper, we discuss a technology, that we have developed to trap , for example, wheat bug away from kale seedlings, and integrating these in less suceptible kale cultivars that can potentially reduce over-reliance on orthodox pesticides on brassicas. Laboratory studies were conducted to screen the suitable trap crop among nine other plants (alyssum, wheat, phacelia, buckwheat, coriander, white clover, alfalfa, and kale) mainly by considering growth stages (vegetative and flowering), and select less susceptible kale cultivars among six other (Kestrel, Gruner, Sovereign, Regal, Corka and Colear). Alyssum (Lobularia maritima) and wheat (Triticum aestivum) were the most favoured potential trap plants for the wheat bug in a laboraotry study. Flowering stage of alyssum is the most susceptible growth stage by the bug damage. -

Outbreak of Nysius Cymoides on Second Crop Soybean Glycine Max and Proposal for Integrated Pest Management
Bulletin of Insectology 72 (1): 29-34, 2019 ISSN 1721-8861 eISSN 2283-0332 Outbreak of Nysius cymoides on second crop soybean Glycine max and proposal for Integrated Pest Management Davide SCACCINI1, Lorenzo FURLAN2 1Department of Agronomy, Food, Natural Resources, Animals and Environment, University of Padova, Legnaro, Padova, Italy 2Veneto Agricoltura, Legnaro, Padova, Italy Abstract The present paper describes an outbreak of the false chinch bug Nysius cymoides (Spinola) (Hemiptera Lygaeidae) in a second crop soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr. (Fabales Fabaceae), in the Veneto region (northern Italy), which occurred during summer 2017. Pest presence was also recorded in the same area the following year. In 2017, the massive presence of this pest (up to 250 speci- mens/plant) caused severe damage to the soybean crop, such as underdeveloped plants, dead spots on the leaves or dead plants. Pest outbreaks occur in droughty and warm periods; they can be related to ground litter and depend on the previous crop, as described for other species of the same genus. While canola increased the population of N. cymoides that damaged the following soybean crop, no false chinch bug presence was found in the soybean after winter wheat in the same area. Considering field observations, a provisional threshold for second crop soybean based on pest presence in previous crop litter is provided (10 N. cymoides speci- mens/250 mL of litter). Finally, a specific Integrated Pest Management procedure is suggested for this pest. Key words: false chinch bug, outbreak, soybean, threshold, canola, litter, IPM. Introduction Schneid. (Euphorbiales Buxaceae) (Parenzan, 1985). The damage is caused by immature stages and adults, In agriculture, Lygaeidae (Hemiptera Heteroptera) are and consists in desiccation and wilting of plant tissue considered to be pest that may damage many different that often turns yellow-brownish and develops necrosis; crops due to their feeding activity (Hori, 2000; Sweet, weight loss of seeds can also occur (Parenzan, 1985; 2000). -
