La Pourriture Des Fruits De Letchi Et La Mise En Place De ECOLE SUPERIEURE DES SCIENCES AGRONOMIQUES DEPARTEMENT : AGRICULTURE Mémoire de fin d’études en vue d’obtenir le diplôme d’ingénieur agronome LA POURRITURE DES FRUITS DE LETCHI ET LA MISE EN PLACE DE LA GESTION PHYTOSANITAIRE INTEGREE DANS LA ZONE DE TAMATAVE Membres de jury : • Président de jury : RAKOTONDRAVELO Jean Chrysostome • Tuteur : RAFALIMANANA Halitiana • Maitre de stage : RANDRIANANGALY Jean Stephan Soa • Examinateur : RAVELOSON Lala Présenté par : MARIKINDRIANJAFIMPAHIZATO Tsiafaradia Andry Jeda 2008 Promotion ILO : 2003-2008 10 Juin 2008 Résumé L'exportation de letchi apporte une forte valeur ajoutée aux producteurs et aux autres acteurs de la filière même si la quantité exportée est en diminution d'une année à l’autre. Le marché international devient de plus en plus exigeant sur le plan sanitaire et phytosanitaire. En effet, la production annuelle malagasy en fruit de letchi augmente toujours. Ainsi, la nécessité de trouver d’autres marchés et de maintenir ceux déjà accessibles constituent la tâche des acteurs de la filière en vue de lui donner un avenir plus rassurant. En outre, le fruit de letchi est victime des attaques des organismes nuisibles causant sa pourriture qui provoque une perte importante chaque année. La collecte des fruits avariés par échantillonnage dans trois différents endroits et leur incubation permettent de vérifier l’implication des mouches de fruit capturé par le système de piégeage au champ et d'identifier les agents pathogènes de la pourriture. Le piégeage des mouches de fruit qui empêchent l'accès au marché américain et faisant partie de la Gestion Phytosanitaire Intégrée, est un moyen pour connaitre le niveau de prévalence d'une zone étudiée. Dans la zone de Tamatave, la pourriture des fruits de letchi est causée principalement par des troubles physiologiques avec 47% des cas, mais celle d'origine cryptogamique provoquée par l'anthracnose dont l'agent est Gloesporium, est peu importante. Les mouches de fruit n'ont aucun rôle dans la pourriture. D’après les résultats de l'incubation, seul le Borer de letchi ou Cryptophloebia sp qui fait partie des insectes de quarantaine aux pays importateurs attaque les fruits de letchi. Par conséquent, les mesures de protection dans la gestion phytosanitaire intégrée dont les interventions sont liées au niveau d’infestation de chaque zone doivent mettre en œuvre des luttes spécifiques contre Cryptophloebia sp pour espérer l'agrément américain à l'exportation de letchi de Madagascar. Ainsi, le letchi exporté doit seulement provenir des zones de production protégées. La lutte plus efficace contre le Borer est l'installation d'une barrière physique entre le fruit et l'insecte en question. Mais, il ya aussi le traitement à froid et la fumigation par bromure de méthyle que les États-Unis d'Amérique ont recommandé comme intervention en post-récolte. Mots clés : Mouche de fruit, Gestion Phytosanitaire Intégrée, Pourriture de fruit de letchi, Cryptophloebia sp, Marché américain de letchi Abstract Lychee’s export brings more income to all these actors of this activity even if the quantity shipped to European market has dropped in the two last years because there are more requirements about hygiene and pest control on field. Indeed, Malagasy production increases each year. Thus, lychee sector needs in a little bit period of time; to seek another else of market area. Lychee fruit is subjected to the attacks of pest and diseases to give rise to the fruit rot. The incubation of the collected fruit wormy use to verify the part of the fruit fly and the other pest organism on the fruit rot that cause huge losses each year in Madagascar. The trapping of fruit fly which limits market access on the international trade is included in the Integrated Pest Management (IPM). In fact, almost 47% of the fruit rot are due to physiologic trouble yet the attack of the insect and the fungi is less important in Tamatave area. The Lepidoptera: Cryptophloebia sp, was the only insect which comes out of the fruit incubated; and none fruit fly was found during the incubation. Beyond the result of incubation the fruit fly attack on the lychee fruit doesn’t current. In spite of the Cryptophloebia involvement on fruit rot, the (IPM) must include the measure which fit in this circumstance. While expecting to export fresh fruit of lychee to USA, the shipment need to be threat by fumigation by Methyl Bromite and the cold treatment such as a post harvest measure to eliminate the pest quarantine. As a one part of the IPM the insect trap and the survey on field are very important to awareness of the prevalence degrees of wherever else area that the insect trap has been installed because the measure will be deducted on this.

  • The Isolation and Genetic Characterisation of a Novel Alphabaculovirus for the Microbial Control of Cryptophlebia Peltastica and Closely Related Tortricid Pests
    RHODES UNIVERSITY Where leaders learn The isolation and genetic characterisation of a novel alphabaculovirus for the microbial control of Cryptophlebia peltastica and closely related tortricid pests Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY At RHODES UNIVERSITY By TAMRYN MARSBERG December 2016 ABSTRACT Cryptophlebia peltastica (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is an economically damaging pest of litchis and macadamias in South Africa. Cryptophlebia peltastica causes both pre- and post-harvest damage to litchis, reducing overall yields and thus classifying the pest as a phytosanitary risk. Various control methods have been implemented against C. peltastica in an integrated pest management programme. These control methods include chemical control, cultural control and biological control. However, these methods have not yet provided satisfactory control as of yet. As a result, an alternative control option needs to be identified and implemented into the IPM programme. An alternative method of control that has proved successful in other agricultural sectors and not yet implemented in the control of C. peltastica is that of microbial control, specifically the use of baculovirus biopesticides. This study aimed to isolate and characterise a novel baculovirus from a laboratory culture of C. peltastica that could be used as a commercially available baculovirus biopesticide. In order to isolate a baculovirus a laboratory culture of C. peltastica was successfully established at Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa. This is the first time a laboratory culture of C. peltastica has been established. This allowed for various biological aspects of the pest to be determined, which included: length of the life cycle, fecundity and time to oviposition, egg and larval development and percentage hatch.

    Characterization of Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrovirus immediate early protein ME53: The role of conserved domains in BV production, viral gene transcription, and evidence for ME53 presence at the ribosome by Robyn Ralph A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robyn Ralph, December, 2018 ABSTRACT CHARACTERIZATION OF AUTOGRAPHA CALIFORNICA NUCLEOPOLYHEDROVIRUS IMMEDIATE EARLY PROTEIN ME53: THE ROLE OF CONSERVED DOMAINS IN BV PRODUCTION, VIRAL GENE TRANSCRIPTION, AND EVIDENCE FOR ME53 PRESENCE AT THE RIBOSOME Robyn Ralph Advisors: University of Guelph, 2018 Dr. Peter Krell Dr. Sarah Wooton The baculovirus AcMNPV early/late gene me53 is required for efficient BV production and is conserved in all alpha and betabaculoviruses. The 449-amino acid protein contains several highly conserved functionally important domains including two putative C4 zinc finger domains (ZnF-N and ZnF-C) whose cysteine residues are 100% conserved. One purpose of this study is to confirm the presence of two zinc binding domains in ME53, as well as determine their role in virus infection and viral gene transcription. Interestingly, deletion of ZnF-C results in an early delay of BV production from 12 to 18 hours post transfection correlating to ME53's cytoplasmic localization. Cytoplasmic functions at early times post-transfection may include translational regulation, which is supported by yeast-2-hybrid data that ME53 interacts with the host 40S ribosomal subunit protein RACK1. In this study the association of ME53 with the ribosomes of virus infected cells was also investigated. iii DEDICATION I dedicate this thesis to my father, Ronald James Ralph.

Larva of Thaumatotibia leucotreta (T. Grove Taxonomic Position and W. Styn, bugwood.org). Class: Insecta, Order: Lepidoptera, Family: Tortricidae Reason for Inclusion CAPS Target: AHP Prioritized Pest List - 2003 through 2014 Pest Description Eggs: Eggs are flat, oval (0.77 mm long by 0.60 mm wide) shaped discs with a granulated surface. The eggs are white to cream colored when initially laid. They change to a reddish color before the black head capsule of the larvae becomes visible under the chorion prior to hatching (Daiber, 1979a). 1 Larvae: First instar (neonate) larvae approximately 1 to 1.2 mm (< /16 in) in length with dark pinacula giving a spotted appearance, fifth instar larvae are orangey-pink, 1 becoming more pale on sides and yellow in ventral region, 12 to 18 mm (approx. /2 to 11 /16 in) long, with a brown head capsule and prothoracic shield (Fig. 1). [Note this coloration is only present in live specimens.] The last abdominal segment bears an anal comb with two to ten “teeth.” The mean head capsule width for the first through fifth instar larvae has been recorded as: 0.22, 0.37, 0.61, 0.94 and 1.37 mm, respectively (Daiber, 1979b). Diagnostic characters would include the anal comb with two to ten teeth in addition to: L pinaculum on T1 enlarged and extending beneath and beyond (posterad of) the spiracle; spiracle on A8 displaced posterad of SD pinaculum; crochets unevenly triordinal, 36-42; L-group on A9 usually trisetose (all setae usually on same pinaulum) (Brown, 2011).

The aim of this Introduction manual is to provide technical information relevant to achieving this success. The macadamia nut borer (MNB), Thaumatotibia (=Cryptophlebia) batrachopa (Meyrick, 1908) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) forms part of the nut Economic Importance borer complex which also includes the false codling moth (FCM), (Thaumatotibia leucotreta); In Malawi, MNB is a major pest contributing to litchi moth, (Cryptophlebia peltastica) and carob up to 20 % of the loss in macadamia production moth, (Ectomyelois ceratoniae) (Hepburn, Radloff, (De Villiers & Joubert, 2003).

MNB is a known pest in tree nuts, currently a major production area for macadamias litchi, guava and feijoa in Africa. suffers a smaller loss of ± 5% (Source, 2016). However, it is suggested that the damage caused In previous years MNB has been controlled partially by MNB is higher than the estimated 5% in South by the use of conventional registered pesticides for Africa due to nut-drop not accounted for in stinkbugs e.g. pyrethroids and organophosphates. the benchmark study completed by Source (J.
