Insect monitoring is essential to design effective conservation strategies, which are indispensable mitigate worldwide declines and biodiversity loss. For this purpose, traditional methods widely established can provide data with a high taxonomic resolution. However, processing of captured insect samples often time-consuming expensive, limits the number potential replicates. Automated facilitate collection at higher spatiotemporal resolution comparatively lower effort cost. Here, we present...
Non-native invasive arthropod species threaten biodiversity and food security worldwide, resulting in substantial economic, environmental, social cultural costs. Classical biological control (CBC) is regarded as a cost-effective component of integrated pest management programmes to manage pests sustainably. However, CBC are traditionally conducted once has established new environment, invariably all research needed achieve approval release agent can take several years. During that time,...
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...
Abstract: Six insecticides (Malathion, Quik, Cidial, Dimethoate, Actellic, Deltamethrin) and two mineral oils (Super misrona Kemesol) are currently used to control the most important pests in Mediterranean olive cultivation (olive fly, moth black scale). Potential side‐effects of these compounds were tested on egg parasitoid Trichogramma cacoeciae Marchal, following recommendations working group ‘Pesticides Beneficial Organisms’ International Organization for Biological Control, West...
Cydia pomonella is a major pest in apples Denmark. Trichogramma spp. are known biocontrol agents of C. eggs and two naturally occurring species Denmark, which also both commercially available, were chosen for mass-release trials. evanescens, T. cacoeciae or mix the evaluated to control commercial organic apple orchards, one 2012 2013, using complete randomized block design. Pheromone disruption was used making study first evaluate release under mating regime. activity assessed bait cards...

Abstract An undersowing system with additional intercropping of flowering plants was assessed in field trials Germany and Japan to estimate regulating effects on pests possible negative white cabbage ( Brassica oleracea var. capitata ). In particular, we tested undersown wheat Triticum aestivum L.) plus sweet alyssum Lobularia maritima L. Desv.) intercropping. Counts the aphid species Brevicoryne brassicae (L.) Myzus persicae (Sulzer), as well related predators plants, were determined....

The Box tree pyralid, Cydalima perspectalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), is an invasive species in Europe, not yet regulated by natural enemies. It highly destructive to ornamental and native Buxus due defoliation larval feeding. ability of eight Trichogramma (T. brassicae Bezdenko, T. bourarachae Pintureau & Babault, cacoeciae Marchal, cordubensis Vargas Cabello, dendrolimi Matsumura, evanescens Westwood, nerudai Gerding pintoi Voegele) parasitise locate eggs C. was assessed the...
The detrimental effect of predators on Trichogramma cacoeciae March. releases to control the olive moth, Prays oleae Bern., in Trás-os-Montes region (Northeast Portugal), was evaluated during three against flower generation pest 2002. At 1 and 3 h at 1, 3, 7 14 days after each release, 30 releasing cards were examined field collected identified. Furthermore, percentage egg predation also determined. Formicidae most abundant group 99.1% total individuals collected. Ten species identified,...
