The spread and impact of invasive species in exotic ranges can be mitigated by increased understanding pest invasion dynamics. Here, we used geospatial analyses habitat suitability modeling to characterize the an important vineyard pest, vine mealybug (Planococcus ficus Signoret, Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), using nearly 15,000 trapping records from throughout Napa County, California, between 2012 2017. Spatial autocorrelation among P. detections was strongest at distances ~250 m detectable regional scales (up 40 km), estimates rate directionality were highly idiosyncratic, detection hotspots spatiotemporally dynamic. Generalized linear model, boosted regression tree, random forest methods performed well predicting for ficus. most predictors occurrence a positive effect precipitation driest month, negative effects elevation distance nearest winery. Our results indicate that 250-m quarantine treatment zones around are likely sufficient encompass local establishment spread, implementing localized regulatory procedures may limit inadvertent via anthropogenic pathways. Finally, surveys presence >300 sites validated significantly positively associated with frequency occurrence. findings predictions offer robust tool identifying areas study region risk future prioritizing locations early preventative management efforts.

ABSTRACT Background In 2017, we investigated measures adopted by Swiss grape growers in response to Drosophila suzukii conducting a survey presenting information obtained from 372 on 1708 vineyards. Results We found the strategies be heterogeneous and largely dependent variety (table vs. wine grapes). identified six clusters of control methods combat D. , most important which involves using combination such as insecticides, mass trapping sanitation measures, especially pinching foliage or mowing mulching. Grape our sample rely primarily public institutions other majority plan continue taking . Conclusion Our results suggest that Switzerland differ widely, not only between growers, but also at vineyard regional level. Thus, policies extension services should targeted (e.g. varieties regions) tailored types growers. find preventive are when combatting can reduce post‐infestation pesticide usage. sample, biological kaolin, played vital role merit further support. © 2019 Society Chemical Industry

Over the past decade, Halyomorpha halys has become one of main threats to hazelnut production. Its trophic activity makes kernels inedible due strongly detrimental effects on organoleptic quality. management in Italy is still tricky lack effective native biocontrol agents and authorized insecticides. A field test was performed San Giovanni (SG) Tonda Romana (TR) cultivars (early late ripening, respectively) assess intensity cimiciato damage with different pest approaches (no insecticide integrated management, IPM). Moreover, phenological analysis fruits monitoring stink bug species by traps plant beating were carried out. In untreated plots, SG cv showed a higher incidence respect TR (40% SG–NI vs. 23% TR–NI). This probably phases which bugs injured fruits. fact, bites provoke kinds injuries (blanks, shriveled, cimiciato) according fruit’s development period. Indeed, period highest insect occurrence field, early kernel expansion, phase are more likely defects. Lastly, IPM did not provide sufficient fruit protection (19% SG–IPM 11% TR–IPM).

T. can be strongly repelled by (E)-2-decenal, and thus it's host location efficiency would reduced field. Better understanding on molecular basis olfactory reception this may provide opportunities to develop novel approaches enhance biological control efficacy against halys. We identified three classical Odorant Binding Proteins (OBPs) from transcriptome sequencing. Thus, OBPs were expressed heterologous expression system, harvested, then challenged binding assay experiments. TjapOBP2 showed highest ability compared TjapOBP1 TjapOBP3. Our results unambiguously suggest that play role discriminating could possible target for further intervention parasitoid-host system.
