  • Regeneration Methods to Reduce Pine Weevil Damage to Conifer Seedlings
    Regeneration Methods to Reduce Pine Weevil Damage to Conifer Seedlings Magnus Petersson Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre Alnarp Doctoral thesis Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Alnarp 2004 Acta Universitatis Agriculturae Sueciae Silvestria 330 ISSN: 1401-6230 ISBN: 91 576 6714 4 © 2004 Magnus Petersson, Alnarp Tryck: SLU Service/Repro, Alnarp 2004 Abstract Petersson, M. 2004. Regeneration methods to reduce pine weevil damage to conifer seedlings. ISSN: 1401-6230, ISBN: 91 576 6714 4 Damage caused by the adult pine weevil Hylobius abietis (L.) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) can be a major problem when regenerating with conifer seedlings in large parts of Europe. Weevils feeding on the stem bark of newly planted seedlings often cause high mortality in the first three to five years after planting following clear-cutting. The aims of the work underlying this thesis were to obtain more knowledge about the effects of selected regeneration methods (scarification, shelterwoods, and feeding barriers) that can reduce pine weevil damage to enable more effective counter-measures to be designed. Field experiments were performed in south central Sweden to study pine weevil damage amongst planted Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) H. Karst.) seedlings. The reduction of pine weevil damage by scarification, shelterwood and feeding barriers can be combined to obtain an additive effect. When all three methods were used simultaneously, mortality due to pine weevil damage was reduced to less than 10%. Two main types of feeding barriers were studied: coatings applied directly to the bark of the seedlings, and shields preventing the pine weevil from reaching the seedlings. It was concluded that the most efficient type of feeding barrier, reduced mortality caused by pine weevil about equally well as insecticide treatment, whereas other types were less effective.

  • Barrowhill, Otterpool and East Stour River)
    Folkestone and Hythe Birds Tetrad Guide: TR13 D (Barrowhill, Otterpool and East Stour River) The tetrad TR13 D is an area of mostly farmland with several small waterways, of which the East Stour River is the most significant, and there are four small lakes (though none are publically-accessible), the most northerly of which is mostly covered with Phragmites. Other features of interest include a belt of trees running across the northern limit of Lympne Old Airfield (in the extreme south edge of the tetrad), part of Harringe Brooks Wood (which has no public access), the disused (Otterpool) quarry workings and the westernmost extent of Folkestone Racecourse and. The northern half of the tetrad is crossed by the major transport links of the M20 and the railway, whilst the old Ashford Road (A20), runs more or less diagonally across. Looking south-west towards Burnbrae from the railway Whilst there are no sites of particular ornithological significance within the area it is not without interest. A variety of farmland birds breed, including Kestrel, Stock Dove, Sky Lark, Chiffchaff, Blackcap, Lesser Whitethroat, Yellowhammer, and possibly Buzzard, Yellow Wagtail and Meadow Pipit. Two rapidly declining species, Turtle Dove and Spotted Flycatcher, also probably bred during the 2007-11 Bird Atlas. The Phragmites at the most northerly lake support breeding Reed Warbler and Reed Bunting. In winter Fieldfare and Redwing may be found in the fields, whilst the streams have attracted Little Egret, Snipe and, Grey Wagtail, with Siskin and occasionally Lesser Redpoll in the alders along the East Stour River. Corn Bunting may be present if winter stubble is left and Red Kite, Peregrine, Merlin and Waxwing have also occurred.

  • Pine Weevil (Hylobius Abietis)
    Pine Weevil ( Hylobius abietis ) Feeding Pattern on Conifer Seedlings Frauke Fedderwitz 1, Niklas Björklund, Velemir Ninkovic, Göran Nordlander Department of Ecology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden. [email protected] Abstract The pine weevil ( Hylobius abietis ) is one of the most important forest pests in Europe, yet there is very little known about its detailed feeding behaviour. We study the temporal feeding pattern of individual pine weevils of both sexes for 24 hours with two treatments, intact and girdled seedlings. Properties of a meal, such as feeding duration, size and ingestion rate are of particular interest. The shortest interval considered to separate one feeding bout from another, the meal criterion, has never been published and it is only available for a few other insect species. Video recordings are analysed for feeding behaviour (e.g. duration of feeding activity, interval length between feeding activities, movements between and within feeding scars). We measured general activity patterns as there is insufficient knowledge on the daily behavioural patterns. We thereby got an in-depth view of the pine weevil feeding activity that would otherwise be difficult to assess. Introduction Herbivorous insects reduce the fitness of plants directly and indirectly by feeding despite inducing plant defence systems against herbivory [1]. Trees have especially low defence and tolerance as seedlings in comparison to other phases in plant ontogeny except for over-mature and senile plants [2]. The pine weevil ( Hylobius abietis ) is economically one of the most important forest pests in Europe [3]. Adults feed on the stem bark of conifer seedlings [4] and can cause seedling mortality of up to 90 % in the first three years [5].

    Control and Management of the Pine Weevil Hylobius abietis L. * Amelia TUDORAN , Ion OLTEAN, Mircea VARGA Department of Plants Protection, University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj- Napoca,* Romania corresponding author: [email protected] BulletinUASVM Horticulture 76(1) / 2019 Print ISSN 1843-5254, Electronic ISSN 1843-5394 DOI:10.15835/buasvmcn-hort: 2018.0049 Abstract Hylobius abietis H. abietis in The pine weevil, L., is a pest of economic importance causing massive damage to conifer seedlings planted on reforestation sites. The lack of effective methods to prevent establishment of newly-harvested sites makes it a threat to European forests. The biology and ecology of the pine weevil have been intensely studied through the years. However, in light of current and future climate change much of the knowledge gathered thus far may need to be re-evaluated under these new conditions. Changes in temperature and other climatic variables may strongly change, for example, the development of the weevil and its distribution. Such changes may result in higher population numbers and increase the feeding pressure on newly planted seedlings,H. abietis thus making it a novel pest in certain areas or increasing its pest status in others. There is a need to synthesize our current understanding on the biology, behavior and methods of damage control by the pine weevil , in order to identify knowledge gaps and propose new management practices. In this review, we present such an overview and provide several examples on how this knowledge could be expanded or used to meet future challenges.Keywords Hylobius abietis, : Control, monitoring, prevention Introduction Hylobius abietis is considered to be the main Hylobius th decade (Olenici, and Olenici, 1994).

Here we describe a current silkmoth outbreak that is occurring about half degree northward of its formerly documented outbreak range. This outbreak has covered an area of about 800 thousand ha with mortality of conifer stands within an area of about 300 thousand ha. The primary outbreak originated in the year 2014 within stands located on gentle relatively dry southwest slopes at elevations up to 200 m above sea level (a.s.l.) Then the outbreak spread to the mesic areas including northern slopes and the low-elevation forest belts along the Yenisei ridge.

Dit jaar hebben de deelnemers in en om de gemeente Ede maar liefst 59 kilometerhokken geïnventariseerd op geleedpotigen. In totaal zijn er 1275 soorten insecten en andere geleedpotigen gevonden. Er zijn geen nieuwe soorten voor Nederland gevonden, maar er worden wel acht nieuwe soorten voor de provincie Gelderland gemeld. Dit relatief lage aantal nieuwe waarnemingen voor de provincie komt met name doordat de bezochte gebieden al zeer goed op ongewervelden geïnventariseerd zijn.
