Pest List for the Importation of Fresh Fruit of Apple, Malus Pest List for the Importation of Fresh Fruit of Apple, Malus domestica, and Pear, Pyrus communis, into the Continental United States from seven countries in the European Union (Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands) July 2, 2014 Version 4 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 List for Apples and Pears from the European Union 1. Introduction 1.1. Initiation The Plant Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Laboratory of the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine, Center for Plant Health Science and Technology prepared this pest list to examine potential pest risks associated with the importation of fresh fruit of apple, Malus domestica, and pear, Pyrus communis (Rosaceae), from the European Union (EU) states of Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands into the continental United States. This pest list is commodity-based or “pathway-initiated” because apples and pears are potential pathways for the introduction of plant pests. The movement of fruits and vegetables from foreign countries, such as those in the EU, into the United States is regulated in 7 CFR §319.56 (2011). Currently, the entry of fresh apple and pear from the Belgium, Germany (apple only), France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands into the continental United States occurs through a preclearance program; the governments of those countries seek a change in the Federal Regulation to allow entry using a systems approach. 1.2. Standard post-harvest processing To reduce or eliminate the pest risk associated with the movement of this commodity, we assume that the commodity will undergo the following minimal standard post-harvest processing: soil, leaf, and debris removal; visual inspection and culling; and washing. By developing this pest list, we can determine if minimal standard post-harvest processing is adequate to provide phytosanitary security or if other measures may be required. 2. Pest Categorization 2.1. Pests associated with the commodity and present in the exporting countries Below, we list the pests associated with Malus spp. and Pyrus spp. (in any country) that occur in Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the Netherlands (on any host) (Tables 1 and 2). We list only quarantine pests for the United States that are likely to follow the pathway and enter the continental United States on commercial apple and pear fruit, with pertinent references. We developed this pest list based on the scientific literature, USDA port-of-entry pest interception data, and information provided by the European Union. Should it be necessary, these pests would require further analysis in a pest risk assessment. Quarantine pests not included can be detrimental to U.S. agriculture or ecosystems, but were not candidates for risk mitigation for a variety of reasons. For example, they were associated mainly with plant parts other than the commodity; may be associated with the commodity, but would not reasonably remain with the commodity during harvest and packing; or have been intercepted as biological contaminants of this commodity during U.S. agricultural port of entry inspection, but would not be present in commercial shipments. Ver. 4 July 2, 2014 1 Pest List for Apples and Pears from the European Union 2.2. Pests considered but not included on the pest list Hummer et al. (2009) indicate that Epiphyas postvittana (Walker) is present in Portugal. However, the distribution of this moth in Portugal is limited to São Miguel Island in the Azores. We understand that apple and pear exported to the United States will be produced on the mainland and this pest will therefore not be present in production areas. We further understand that movement of potential E. postvittana host material from the Azores to the Portuguese mainland is regulated to prevent spread of E. postvittana into areas where apples and pears are produced. If either of these conditions change or do not exist, we mahy reevaluate the risk associated with Epiphyas postvittana. Table 1.

Рассмотрено изменение границ ареала грушевой плодожорки Cydia pyrivora (Lepidoptera: Tortricid- ae) за 60-летний период на северо-востоке европейской части России. За последнее 10-летие отмечается достаточно быстрое продвижение вида на север по пойме реки Волги до центра Ульяновской области. При сохранении такой тенденции расселения вида можно ожидать появление грушевой плодожорки в Левобережье Самарской об- ласти, а также в Татарстане и Нижегородской области. Биотопически вид привязан к хорошо прогреваемым садовым участкам и брошенным садам с грушевыми де- ревьями.

  • Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of Leaf-Spinning Moths (Lepidoptera) Feeding on Vaccinium Uliginosum L
    © Entomologica Fennica. 25 February 2011 Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of leaf-spinning moths (Lepidoptera) feeding on Vaccinium uliginosum L. along an ecological gradient in central European peat bogs Aurel I. Lozan, Karel Spitzer, Josef Jaro, Andrey Khalaim, Maria Concetta Rizzo, Emilio Guerrieri & Ale Bezdìk Lozan,A.I.,Spitzer,K.,Jaro,J.,Khalaim,A.,Rizzo,M.C.,Guerrieri,E.& Bezdìk, A. 2010: Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) of leaf-spinning moths (Lepidop- tera) feeding on Vaccinium uliginosum L. along an ecological gradient in central European peat bogs. Entomol. Fennica 21: 243253. Parasitoids of leaf-spinning Lepidoptera associated with two isolated central Eu- ropean peat bogs were investigated. Five families of parasitoid Hymenoptera (Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Eulophidae, Pteromalidae and Encyrtidae) were recorded. Three categories were recognised: (1) primary parasitoids, (2) faculta- tive hyperparasitoids and (3) obligatory hyperparasitoids. Ten species of Braco- nidae, five species and seven marked morphospecies among Ichneumonidae, and three species of Chalcidoidea were identified. Despite of some niche-specific (but less host-specific) parasitoids, all these hymenopterans are likely to be gen- eralists and none of them were confirmed to be habitat and/or host specialists. Unlike their eurytopic (opportunistic tyrphoneutral) parasitoids, the Lepidoptera hosts associated with peat bogs are partially highly stenotopic (tyrphobionts and tyrphophiles). The occurrence of parasitoids compared to their potential hosts was structured along an ecological (mesoclimatic) gradient, so most parasitoids were recorded from margins while stenotopic (narrow habitat adaptation) moths were mostly distributed near the centre of the bog habitat.

  • Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth Adoxophyes Orana
    Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management/Division of Agriculture Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth Adoxophyes orana Native to Europe and Asia, the Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth is not known to occur in the U.S. The Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth is most commonly a pest of apple, cherry and pear trees; however it does have a large range of other hosts. Hania Arentsen, Garden Safari, www.forestryimages.org Identifying Features: Adults emerge from late May through late June, FEMALE: from loosely woven cocoons on host plants. Males have a V. Mastro, USDA, APHIS, PPQ 15-19 mm wingspan, with the forewings being light grayish- brown or yellowish-brown in color. They have distinct brown markings. Hind wings are light gray. Females have a 19-22 mm wingspan with dullish, gray-brown forewings and markings which are less distinct than those of males. Female hind wings are brownish-gray. These adults give rise to the first generation of larvae (summer caterpillars). The larvae are 18-22 mm long with a brown head. When mature the head turns a honey- yellow color. The thoracic legs are light brown and the MALE: overall color of the caterpillar is greenish yellow to olive V. Mastro, USDA, APHIS, PPQ green. These adults will produce the second generation of larvae (fall caterpillars) which will overwinter on plants until the following spring. Damage: • Caterpillars cause damage by feeding on the leaves and fruit. • Point-like holes are left in the fruit tissue by larvae. • Before overwintering, fall caterpillars may feed on fruit causing irregular depressions on the surface of the fruit.

  • Regional Population Dynamics of Argyrotaenia Citrana in Northwest
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THIS OF Alan Lee Knight for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology presented on April 3, 1986. Title: Regional Population Dynamics of-Argyrotaenia citrana in Northwest Caneberry: Phenology, Overwintering Survivorship, and Movement as Measured by Pheromone Traps and Larval Sampling. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Developmental requirements were determined for both larva and pupa as 503 and 176 degree-days (dd) above a lower threshold of 5°C. Adult emergence occurred from 300 to 700 dd accumulated from January 1st. Cumulative male emergence preceded female's by 50- 80 dd. A PETE phenology model modified to include a temperature-dependent female activity function to regulate oviposition significantly improved prediction of egg hatch. Two pheromone trap catch peaks occurred in fields with overwintering populations. The first coincided with peak male emergence; as female emergence peaked, pheromone trap catches declined. The second peak occurred after 750 dd and varied in size with the first peak. The influence of female moth/pheromone trap competition on temporal patterns of trap catch was studied in a semi-enclosed courtyard. Three distinct periods of pheromone trap catch interpretation each bounded by a specific ratio of active males-to-calling females were seen. Two trap catch peaks typically occurred. Field sampling of overwintering populations, laboratory temperature bioassays, and controlled field experiments demonstrated that age-specific differences in cold hardiness exist among larval stages and correlation of historical winter temperatures with pheramone trap catch suggests winter severity is a major factor influencing the timing of spring emergence. A large grid of pheromone traps canbined with larval sampling were used to assess regional overwintering survivorship and seasonal movement patterns.
