The Bulletin contains 64 contributions authored by ca. 125 people from more than 25 countries/states on numerous aspects of biological and integrated pest management in protected crops. I welcome all the contributions including the contributions from the students who participated in the student competition. The local organisation of the meeting was excellently handled by Gerben Messelink, Pierre Ramakers, Marieke van der Staaij, Anton van der Linden (Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture) and Jeroen van Schelt (Koppert Biological Systems). I thank the team for their hard work and their enthusiasm aimed at scientifically and socially successful meeting. Finally, I am indebted to Sonja Graugaard, Aarhus University, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Integrated Pest Management, for her considerable efforts in correcting and adjusting the manuscripts and compiling this Bulletin. This is my final year as convenor of our working group and I would like to take the opportunity to thank all who has supported me during my term of office both at and between meetings. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to undertake this task. I convey my best wishes to the new convenor and my best hopes for the Working Group in the future.

  • Effect of the Native Strain of the Predator Nesidiocoris Tenuis Reuter
    Assadi et al. Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control (2021) 31:47 Egyptian Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s41938-021-00395-5 Biological Pest Control RESEARCH Open Access Effect of the native strain of the predator Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter and the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Lecanicillium muscarium against Bemisia tabaci (Genn.) under greenhouse conditions in Tunisia Besma Hamrouni Assadi1*, Sabrine Chouikhi1, Refki Ettaib1, Naima Boughalleb M’hamdi2 and Mohamed Sadok Belkadhi1 Abstract Background: The misuse of chemical insecticides has developed the phenomenon of habituation in the whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) causing enormous economic losses under geothermal greenhouses in southern Tunisia. Results: In order to develop means of biological control appropriate to the conditions of southern Tunisia, the efficacy of the native strain of the predator Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Hemiptera: Miridae) and two entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) Beauveria bassiana and Lecanicillium muscarium was tested against Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius). Indeed, the introduction of N. tenuis in doses of 1, 2, 3, or 4 nymphs per tobacco plant infested by the whitefly led to highly significant reduction in the population of B. tabaci, than the control devoid of predator. The efficacy of N. tenuis was very high against nymphs and adults of B. tabaci at all doses per plant with a rate of 98%. Likewise, B. bassiana and L. muscarium, compared to an untreated control, showed a very significant efficacy against larvae and adults of B. tabaci. In addition, the number of live nymphs of N. tenuis treated directly or introduced on nymphs of B. tabaci treated with the EPF remained relatively high, exceeding 24.8 nymphs per cage compared to the control (28.6).

  • Diapause and Quiescence As Two Main Kinds of Dormancy and Their Significance in Life Cycles of Mites and Ticks (Chelicerata: Arachnida: Acari)
    Acarina 17 (1): 3–32 © Acarina 2009 DIAPAUSE AND QUIESCENCE AS TWO MAIN KINDS OF DORMANCY AND THEIR SIGNIFICANCE IN LIFE CYCLES OF MITES AND TICKS (CHELICERATA: ARACHNIDA: ACARI). PART 2. PARASITIFORMES V. N. Belozerov Biological Research Institute, St. Petersburg State University, Peterhof 198504, Russia; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Concerning the problem of life history and such an important its aspect as seasonality of life cycles and their control enabled by dormant stages, the parasitiform mites reveal the obvious similarity with the acariform mites. This concerns the pres- ence of both main kinds of dormancy (diapause and quiescence). The great importance in the seasonal control of life cycles in some parasitiform mites, like in acariform mites, belongs also for combinations of diapause with non-diapause arrests, particularly with the post-diapause quiescence (PDQ). This type of quiescence evoked after termination of diapause and enabling more accu- rate time-adjustment in recommencement of active development, is characteristic of both lineages of the Parasitiformes — Ixodida and Mesostigmata (particularly Gamasida). The available data show that in ixodid ticks the PDQ may be resulted similarly after developmental and behavioral diapause. Reproductive diapause combined with the PDQ is characteristic of some gamasid mites (particularly the family Phytoseiidae), while most gamasid and uropodid mites with phoretic dispersal reveal the dormant state (apparently of diapause nature) at the deutonymphal stage. The uncertainty between diapause and non-diapause dormancy is retained in some many cases (even in ixodid ticks and phytoseiid mites), and the necessity of further thorough study of different forms of diapause and non-diapause arrests in representatives of the Acari is noted therefore.

In Europe, it is an indige- nous species, commonly found on various plants, including conifers. The present study examined whether A. andersoni can develop and reproduce while feeding on two key pests of ornamental coniferous plants, i.e., Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) and Pentamerismus taxi (Haller). Pinus sylvestris L. pollen was also tested as an alternative food source for the predator. Both prey species and pine pollen were suitable food sources for A. andersoni. Although higher values of population parameters Citation: Puchalska, E.; were observed when the predator fed on mites compared to the pollen alternative, we conclude that Zagrodzki, S.K.; Kozak, M.; pine pollen may provide adequate sustenance for A.

  • The Mitochondrial Genome of the Grape Powdery Mildew Pathogen Erysiphe Necator Is Intron Rich and Exhibits a Distinct Gene Organization Alex Z
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The mitochondrial genome of the grape powdery mildew pathogen Erysiphe necator is intron rich and exhibits a distinct gene organization Alex Z. Zaccaron1, Jorge T. De Souza1,2 & Ioannis Stergiopoulos1* Powdery mildews are notorious fungal plant pathogens but only limited information exists on their genomes. Here we present the mitochondrial genome of the grape powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe necator and a high-quality mitochondrial gene annotation generated through cloning and Sanger sequencing of full-length cDNA clones. The E. necator mitochondrial genome consists of a circular DNA sequence of 188,577 bp that harbors a core set of 14 protein-coding genes that are typically present in fungal mitochondrial genomes, along with genes encoding the small and large ribosomal subunits, a ribosomal protein S3, and 25 mitochondrial-encoded transfer RNAs (mt-tRNAs). Interestingly, it also exhibits a distinct gene organization with atypical bicistronic-like expression of the nad4L/nad5 and atp6/nad3 gene pairs, and contains a large number of 70 introns, making it one of the richest in introns mitochondrial genomes among fungi. Sixty-four intronic ORFs were also found, most of which encoded homing endonucleases of the LAGLIDADG or GIY-YIG families. Further comparative analysis of fve E. necator isolates revealed 203 polymorphic sites, but only fve were located within exons of the core mitochondrial genes. These results provide insights into the organization of mitochondrial genomes of powdery mildews and represent valuable resources for population genetic and evolutionary studies. Erysiphe necator (syn. Uncinula necator) is an obligate biotrophic ascomycete fungus that belongs to the Ery- siphaceae family (Leotiomycetes; Erysiphales) and causes grape powdery mildew, one of the most widespread and destructive fungal diseases in vineyards across the world1.
