Though the European grapevine moth, Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) can feed on more than forty plant species, is preferred crop worldwide.This moth a western palearctic species that has recently spread to Chile, Argentina, and California.The possible further expansion in other regions of Americas greatly feared should be monitored carefully near future.In this framework, we provide an updated review current knowledge its taxonomy, morphology, biology,...
Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), commonly known as the European grapevine moth (EGVM), is a primary pest of vineyards.This article provides an updated review its monitoring, modelling, and management tools.EGVM strategies analysed here include insecticide-based control, insecticide resistance, side-effects (particularly those caused by exposure to sublethal doses pesticides), cultural sterile insect technique, pheromone-mediated control (with special...
Abstract BACKGROUND Pesticides are considered main contributors to global arthropod declines and therefore may decrease the provision of ecosystem services such as natural pest control. Organic farming cultivating pest‐ disease‐resistant varieties can allow pesticide applications their impacts on nontarget organisms environment be reduced. We investigated effects organic versus conventional management fungus‐resistant susceptible wine grape biodiversity control berry moths in 32 vineyards...
Over the last decade, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, an invasive pest of soft-skinned fruits, gradually established itself in Europe, often resulting significant economic losses. In 2011, when D. was first described for Germany, Julius Kühn Institut (JKI) started a monitoring program southwest Germany to study occurrence and activity fly. Capture data from late 2011–early 2018 100 traps were analyzed effect weather immediate habitat on trap captures at different times year. We identified five...
Habitat simplification and intensive use of pesticides are main drivers global arthropod declines are, thus, decreasing natural pest control. Organic farming, complex landscapes, local vineyard management practices such as implementation flower-rich cover-crop mixtures may be a promising approach to enhance predator abundance and, therefore, We examined the effect organic versus integrated management, diversity in inter-rows, landscape composition on control Lobesia botrana eggs pupae....
European viticultural landscapes not only support a significant share of rural livelihoods and cultural traditions, but also conserve biodiversity sustain various ecosystem services. Winegrowers' practices inter-row management (including whether to have vegetation in the inter-rows, type vegetation, duration cover, soil tillage) pesticide use herbicides fungicides, insecticides, pheromone dispensers as an alternative) can affect these This study aims understand winegrowers' decision-making...
Viticultural practices and landscape composition are the main drivers influencing biological pest control in vineyards. Predatory mites, mainly phytoseiid (Phytoseiidae) tydeoid mites (Tydeidae), important to phytophagous (Tetranychidae Eriophyidae) on vines. In absence of arthropod prey, pollen is an food source for predatory mites. 32 paired vineyards located Burgenland/Austria, we examined effect composition, management type (organic/integrated), pesticide use, cover crop diversity...
Abstract Uncovering the entire process of oviposition could enable development innovative pest control strategies. The European grapevine moth Lobesia botrana as well grape berry Eupoecilia ambiguella are serious insect pests, which still threaten viticulture in many parts world. By creating an artificial semiochemical emitting surface, form a card, we tried to develop egg‐monitoring tool for these two species vineyards. idea was create decision support system that facilitates timing and...
Sustainable land use in agricultural landscapes is essential to counteract the global decline of biodiversity, as well ensure ecosystem services like natural pest control. Phytoseiid mites are key enemies vineyards but how local management and landscape context affect phytoseiid remains poorly known. In this study, we examined effects farming systems, inter-row composition on mite communities 156 across five European wine-growing regions. Our results showed that were mainly dominated by one...
Abstract Biodiversity loss is a main challenge for agricultural sustainability. Major drivers include local management and landscape simplification. Therefore, conservation measures aim to increase organic agriculture, reduce pesticide use, the proportion of semi-natural habitats (SNH). Yet, it important understand effects such measures. We investigate how arthropod biomass, taxa richness, community composition in Malaise trap samples are affected by management, SNH landscape. The 32 studied...
Risk assessments of chemical pesticides toward natural enemies are crucial for ensuring sustainable grapevine-integrated pest management. In this context, laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the toxicity four insecticides (lambda-cyhalothrin, flupyradifurone, acetamiprid, and cyantraniliprole) one fungicide (spiroxamine) commonly applied in German (European) vineyards on pupae adults both Anagyrus vladimiri, a parasitoid vine mealybug Planococcus ficus, Trichogramma evanescens,...
Harmonia axyridis (multicolored Asian ladybeetle) and Coccinella septempunctata (seven-spot (Coccinellidae) are found in many wine regions Europe the Americas, where they responsible for a pronounced fault known as 'ladybug taint' when incorporated with grapes during harvest operations. Methoxypyrazines have been proposed literature compounds taint. This study sought to expand on this identification also determine effectiveness of heating Coccinellidae-affected grape must prior fermentation...
Improving natural pest control by promoting high densities of predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) is an effective way to prevent damage (e.g., Eriophyidae, Tetranychidae) and other arthropod taxa that can cause serious vineyards. Here, we investigate the influence innovative management on mite densities. We compare (i) full versus reduced fungicide applications (ii) minimal pruning a traditional trellis system in four fungus-resistant grapevine varieties. As also feed fungus mycelium,...
Greencover crops are widely recommended to provide predators and parasitoids with floral resources for improved pest control. We studied parasitism predation of European grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana) eggs pupae as well predatory mite abundances in an experimental vineyard either one or two sowings greencover compared spontaneous vegetation. The co-occurrence between flowering time parasitoid activity differed greatly the study years. Parasitism was much higher when coincided. While egg...
Semi minimal pruned hedge (SMPH) is a time and cost saving grapevine training system, which becoming more popular in German viticulture. In this study we compared the canopy architecture its effect on microclimate of SMPH trained grapevines with those plants vertical shoot positioning (VSP). We detected 3 % points higher humidity 0.9 °C lower mean temperature within complex vines to VSP. Moreover, investigated influence differing microclimate, bunch architecture, as well berry skin...
Abstract Sour rot is a disease complex that causes serious damage in viticulture. The common vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae) associated with sour overripe or otherwise damaged grapes. suzukii an invasive species, which suspected to induce previously undamaged grapes due the flies' ability infest healthy, soft fruits its serrated ovipositor. As consequence, infection of healthy by D. may facilitate colonization . We investigated single and combined effects on...
Metabarcoding is a powerful tool for ecological studies and monitoring that might provide solution to the time-consuming taxonomic identification of vast diversity insects. Here, we assess how ambient weather conditions during Malaise trap exposure effort trapping affect biomass taxa richness in vineyards. Biomass varied by more than twofold with conditions. It increased warmer drier but was not significantly related wind or precipitation. Taxa showed saturating relationship increasing...
Abstract Conservation measures such as those under the European Green Deal aim to counteract biodiversity loss by increasing share of organic farming and reducing pesticide use, well proportion semi-natural habitats (SNH) in agricultural landscapes. Given large environmental impacts agriculture, it is important thoroughly understand effects on organisms provide evidence-based effective implications for conservation. In this study, we analysed how vineyard management, reduction, landscape...
Agricultural management should aim at high densities of beneficial organisms such as spiders. Here, we asked whether spiders in vineyards can be promoted either by using novel disease resistant grape varieties that allow for a reduced number fungicide applications, or minimal pruning which enhances the structural complexity grapevine canopy. We compared spider communities planted with fungus-resistant (PIWIs) to traditional varieties, and minimally pruned vertical shoot positioned vineyards....
