Pesticide use,arthropod fauna and fruit damage in apple orchards in a Nordic climate

BACKGROUND

Integrated pest management (IPM) has a long history in fruit production and has become even more important with the implementation of the EU directive 2009/128/EC making IPM mandatory. In this study, we surveyed 30 apple orchards in Norway for 3 years (2016–2018) monitoring pest- and beneficial arthropods as well as evaluating fruit damage. We obtained growers’ diaries of pest management and used these data to study positive and negative correlations of pesticides with the different arthropod groups and damage due to pests.

RESULTS

IPM level had no significant effects on damage of harvested apples by arthropod pests. Furthermore, damage by arthropods was mainly caused by lepidopteran larvae, tortricids being especially important. The number of insecticide applications varied between 0 and 3 per year (mean 0.8), while acaricide applications varied between 0 and 1 per year (mean 0.06). Applications were often based on forecasts of important pest species such as the apple fruit moth (Argyresthia conjugella). Narrow-spectrum insecticides were commonly used against aphids and lepidopteran larvae, although broad-spectrum neonicotinoid (thiacloprid) insecticides were also applied. Anthocorid bugs and phytoseiid mites were the most abundant natural enemies in the studied orchards. However, we found large differences in abundance of various “beneficials” (e.g., lacewings, anthocorids, parasitic wasps) between eastern and western Norway. A low level of IPM negatively affected the abundance of spiders.

CONCLUSION

Lepidoptera was found to be the most important pest group in apple orchards. Insecticide use was overall low, but number of spray applications and use of broad-spectrum insecticides varied between growers and regions. IPM level did not predict the level of fruit damage by insects nor the abundance of important pests or most beneficial groups in an apple orchard. © 2023 The Authors.

银川平原不同种植模式下苜蓿田地表蜘蛛群落多样性及时间动态模拟

为探究不同种植模式对苜蓿田地表蜘蛛群落多样性及个体数量的影响,采用陷阱法对银川平原苜蓿-小麦邻作、苜蓿-玉米邻作和苜蓿-果园间作3种不同种植模式下的人工苜蓿田地表蜘蛛群落进行了调查,研究其多样性、丰富度、均匀度及优势度指数的差异和变化,并利用Gaussian函数对各指数进行时间序列动态拟合,分析了3种种植模式下人工苜蓿田地表蜘蛛群落总个体数量的时间动态变化。结果显示,该地区共收集到蜘蛛标本2 761头,隶属12科19属28种,其中优势种为星豹蛛Pardosa astrigera、甘肃平腹蛛Gnaphosa kansuensis和白斑隐蛛Nurscia albofasciata。2种邻作模式下,苜蓿田地表蜘蛛群落多样性、丰富度、均匀度及优势度指数同间作模式下的各指标均有显著差异,且多样性指数最大值出现时间分别为5月7日和5月18日,均早于间作模式下的7月3日。Gaussian函数拟合结果表明,苜蓿-小麦邻作模式下苜蓿田地表蜘蛛种群高峰期持续时间最长,为121.92 d,苜蓿-玉米邻作模式下2次种群高峰间隔时间最短,为49.2 d。苜蓿-小麦邻作模式下苜蓿田地表蜘蛛群落的个体数量最大值出现在5月上旬,其它2种模式下均出现在5月中旬。     

四种不同种植模式茶园节肢动物的群落组成

为了解浙江省不同种植模式茶园节肢动物的群落组成,于2013—2014年对松阳县4种茶园的节肢动物群落数量、时空格局和茶丛上层益害生物比及其动态进行了调查。结果表明:林间茶园害虫、天敌物种数和总物种数显著大于其它3种茶园;林间茶园天敌个体数最多,丰产茶园害虫个体数和总个体数最多。在垂直分布上,天敌个体数在母穗园、林间茶园中以上层最多,在丰产茶园和两行密植茶园中以中层最多;害虫个体数在丰产茶园、母穗园和林间茶园以中层最多,在两行密植茶园以下层最多,分别占其全株的60%、56%、42%和51%;4种茶园益害个体数比皆以上层最多。在水平分布上,害虫个体数在丰产茶园、两行密植茶园、林间茶园皆以朝北方向最多,分别占其全株的35.0%、26.0%和26.3%;害虫个体数以茶丛内层较多,天敌个体数以外层较多;地上部分林间茶园益害个体数比约是丰产茶园的2倍。表明种植模式可改变群落空间格局和益害比。     

不同类型茶园游猎型蜘蛛亚群落特征的研究

以广东潮州市凤凰单丛茶区的高山、中山和低山茶园为研究对象,对茶园游猎型蜘蛛亚群落及其环境因子和管理状况进行调查,采用多样性指标、NMDS排序、perMANOVA检验、SIMPER分析和RDA排序等方法,研究茶园游猎型蜘蛛亚群落特征与环境因子的关系。研究结果表明:高山茶园的物种数和个体数量高,中山茶园次之,低山茶园最低,且差异显著;高山茶园的物种丰富度显著高于其他两个茶园,高山茶园和中山茶园的物种多样性指数显著高于低山茶园,但低山茶园的物种优势性高于其他两个茶园。NMDS排序表明三种茶园游猎型蜘蛛亚群落组成差异明显; SIMPER分析显示,高山茶园与中山茶园的平均相异性较小(28.90%),高山茶园与低山茶园的平均相异性较大(52.13%);多重比较分析结果表明,三种茶园游猎型蜘蛛亚群落在整体上差异显著(P0.05)。RDA排序与pRDA分析表明,海拔高度是影响茶园游猎型蜘蛛亚群落组成与分布的主要环境变量因子,其独立贡献率为62.52%;茶树盖度和除草剂是次要环境变量因子, 2个环境变量的独立贡献率分别为9.155%、10.99%,其他环境变量因子对茶园蜘蛛群落组成与结构的影响较小。研究表明,茶园开发过程中保留外围自然生境有利于茶园游猎型蜘蛛亚群落的保护,更好地利用蜘蛛防控害虫,减少农药的使用,实现有机生产,提高茶叶品质。     

Foraging mode: a factor affecting the susceptibility of spiders (Araneae) to insecticide applications

Field experiments have revealed that some species of spiders are more sensitive to insecticides than others. Among many factors influencing their susceptibility, foraging mode seems to play an important role. Aspects of foraging mode that appear to be relevant are whether the spider is diurnal or nocturnal, a hunter or a web-maker. Six spider species, Araniella opisthographa, Clubiona neglecta, Dictyna uncinata, Pardosa agrestis, Philodromus cespitum and Theridion impressum were used in the study. P agrestis and P cespitum are diurnal hunters that may come into direct contact with insecticide. C neglecta is nocturnal and so is exposed to residues only. The remaining three species are web-makers building webs that vary in the extent to which they can protect the spider from direct spray. The effect of sprays was tested under laboratory conditions (Potter tower) with three commercial insecticides, an insect growth regulator (hexaflumuron), a selective organophosphorus (phosalone) and a non-selective pyrethroid insecticide (permethrin) using a four-day exposure period. Data were analysed using bootstrap method and randomization tests. The results obtained showed that hunting spiders were more susceptible to the insecticides tested than web-makers (in their webs). Diurnal hunting spiders (Philodromus and Pardosa) were severely affected only by permethrin. A high mortality was observed for the nocturnal hunter, Clubiona, after application of phosalone and permethrin. This species appears to be very sensitive to residues of both insecticides. Comparing the effect on web-making spiders, with and without webs, it was observed that the sparse orb-web of Araniella did not protect its owner at all, but the dense cribellate and frame-webs of Dictyna and Theridion, respectively, reduced the mortality caused by permethrin significantly in comparison with specimens without webs. Of other factors studied, posture (normal and upside-down position) did not influence the susceptibility. Mortality increased slightly with body size after permethrin application. © 1999 Society of Chemical Industry     

The management type used in plum orchards alters the functional community structure of arthropod predators

Abstract

The management practices in agroecosystems can alter the community structure of pests’ natural enemies, which can consequently disturb their biocontrol function. Here, we investigated how organic or conventional farming influence the community structure of arthropod predators (spiders, coccinelids, anthocorids, ants) in orchards. The three conventional orchards studied were plum tree monocultures where mainly fungicides were applied. The three organic orchards studied were dominated by plum trees with admixture of apple trees and no agrochemical was applied. We found that management significantly affected only spiders that were less abundant in the conventional orchards than in the organic orchards. In addition, the conventional management resulted in reduced species density and altered the community composition of spiders. The conventional management reduced the functional dispersion of spider body size, which may narrow the size-spectrum of pests that could be reduced by spiders. The conventional management also reduced abundances of foliage hunters and space-web spiders. Since these spiders are effective against various insect pests, the conventional management of applying fungicides might result in increased crop damage via increased insect pests.     

Side effects of fungicides on the abundance and the species diversity of the natural populations of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Drosophila</Emphasis> and their hymenopterous parasitoids in orchards

Within entomophagous insects, hymenopterous parasitoids are important regulators of natural populations of insects including pests. Pesticide treatments are largely used in orchards for economic reasons. These treatments allow for greater productivity, but they may also impact upon non-target insect populations. Drosophila and their hymenopterous parasitoids are abundant in orchards and are not direct targets of pesticide treatments. In this work, natural populations of Drosophila and their parasitoids were monitored from June to November, and their abundance was reported from two types of orchards. One type was under conventional pesticide treatments, mostly fungicides (“Treated plot”), and the other was under low-input treatments (“Low-input plot”). Five Drosophila species and five parasitoid species were present in both types of orchards. A time effect on abundance was found with two peaks of abundance, one in August and the other in autumn (October), corresponding to a fluctuation of numbers depending on the availability of resources. When comparing insect abundance between the two types of plots, the abundance in the Treated plot was found to be lower than or equal to that in the Low-input plot. Furthermore, a significant decrease in the abundance of two scarce parasitoid species (Leptopilina heterotoma and Asobara tabida) that could lead to their disappearance was also observed. The results are discussed in the context of the diverse lethal and sub-lethal effects of pesticides on the development and reproduction of natural populations of insects and their importance as natural enemies.     

Integrated pest-management approaches in orchard,cereal and potato protection in Poland1

With its total area of 312,683 km² and a population of about 39 million people, the area of agricultural land per person in Poland is about 0.47 ha. The yields of basic crops are rather low and the losses due to pathogens, animal pests and weeds are high. The use of pesticides is about 1.0–1.3 kg a.i. per ha and this gives a good starting point for integrated pest management (IPM) in the production system of various crops. IPM in glasshouse crops reached the level of 500 ha per year. An IPM approach against codling moth (Cydia pomonella) in orchards allowed a reduction by 70% in the number of insecticide treatments. In the case of apple scab (Venturia haequalis), the IPM approach allowed a reduction in the number of fungicide treatments by 30% on an area of 100,000 ha. In respect to small grains, the IPM approach concerns rational use of fungicides and herbicides in winter wheat and barley. In potato protection, the IPM approach mainly concerns Colorado beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), which at present is controlled by chemical insecticides on 77% of the potato area. Special research and demonstration IPM programmes sponsored by USDA/AID in Central and Eastern Europe will be operational during 1992/1995 and will concern orchards (apple, pear), small grains (wheat, barley) and potatoes.

The importance of forecasting and warning systems in implementation of integrated pest management in apple orchards in Turkey*

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been widely implemented in apple orchards in various regions of Turkey. Between 1995 and 1999, in Central Anatolia and the Aegean Region, apple scab (Venturia inequalis) and codling moth (Cydia pomonella) were key pests, and implementation of pest control was based on forecasting and warning systems. During the project, orchards in which IPM was implemented and in which farmers applied conventional practices were compared. In nine provinces in which IPM projects were carried out in 1999, the damage due to codling moth was 0–1.3% in IPM orchards while it was 0.4–21.8% in nearby non‐IPM orchards. It is clear that damage did not reach the acceptable threshold level of 2% in any of the IPM orchards, while damage was much higher than the threshold in conventionally‐farmed orchards. The number of fungicide applications against apple scab decreased to 5–6 applications from 10–15 applications in the Eğirdir district of the Isparta Province in 1996 as a result of IPM implementation. No insecticides were applied against codling moth in IPM orchards in the Nigde Province in 1998 and 1999 because population levels of the pest were low and under the economic threshold. Apple producers received training and 1200 producers from Central Anatolia became experts in IPM for their own orchards, learning to make appropriate decisions about pest control. The Apple IPM Guideline was prepared and disseminated. In Turkey modern equipment for forecasting and warning systems was employed and, in the last decade, forecasting and warning networks have been improved. Computer‐based systems have increased the speed and accuracy of forecasting as well as decreasing its costs. A computerized national forecasting network in apple orchards now transmits data from the field to system headquarters automatically. The national forecasting network has been expanded and covered 12 208 800 apple trees in 34 provinces in 2006, using 115 electronic forecasting and warning stations.     

Effects of agrochemical residues on four spider taxa: Laboratory methods for pesticide tests with web-building spiders

The susceptibility of web-building and hunting spiders from the tropics (Panama), Europe (F.R. of Germany) and the Middle East (Israel) to 30 pesticides (16 insecticides, 4 acaricides, 1 herbicide, 9 fungicides) was determined. Laboratory test methods for juvenile and adult web-building spiders are described.Philodromus sp. (hunting spider), was completely resistant to all substances;Argiope sp. (web-building spider),Linyphia sp. (web-building spider) andChiracanthium sp. (hunting spider) showed medium to high susceptibility. Insecticides affected spiders in a wide range of responses: from no mortality (most compounds of biological origin) and medium mortality (pyrethrin compounds, organophosphorus and carbamate compounds), to high mortality (cyclo compounds). To both groups of spiders (the hunting and web-building), most acaricides were highly toxic, whereas herbicides and fungicides were nontoxic.     

Spiders (Araneae) in the pesticide world: an ecotoxicological review

Being one of the most abundant and species‐rich groups of natural enemies occurring in all agroecosystems, spiders are variably affected by pesticide applications. Here, a review is given of research on spider ecotoxicology. More than 40 species of spiders and almost 130 pesticides (acaricides, insecticides, fungicides and herbicides) have been tested so far in the field or under laboratory conditions. Field studies show that the degree of population reduction following pesticide application is a function of a number of factors inherent to pesticides, crops and spider species (guilds). These studies also revealed indirect effects via habitat and prey disruption. Among laboratory studies, a number of papers have investigated only the direct lethal effect. A meta‐analysis of these data reveals that spiders are mainly affected by acaricides and insecticides, particularly neurotoxic substances. Currently, ecotoxicological research on spiders is focused more on direct sublethal effects on a variety of behavioural traits (locomotion, predation, web‐building, reproduction, development) and physiology. Yet a standardised approach to the evaluation of sublethal effects is lacking. A few studies have provided some evidence for hormesis in spiders. Future research should be more concentrated on sublethal effects and the estimation of long‐term changes in spider populations as a result of pesticide treatment.

苜蓿田地表蜘蛛边缘效应及苜蓿刈割后的溢出效应

为明确不同类型苜蓿田地表蜘蛛边缘效应及苜蓿刈割后地表蜘蛛溢出效应在小麦田与玉米田之间的差异,于2015年5—7月采用陷阱法调查了银川平原不同类型苜蓿田及邻作玉米田和小麦田中的蜘蛛种类及个体数,比较苜蓿田边缘区及中心区蜘蛛群落多样性指数和个体数量的时空变化以及苜蓿田刈割前后相邻农田边界处蜘蛛群落的时空动态变化。结果表明,在整个取样季节共采集蜘蛛标本7 894头,隶属10科22种,其中苜蓿单作田中蜘蛛个体数量最多,共2 550头;苜蓿-小麦邻作田中蜘蛛群落物种丰富度最高,共17种。星豹蛛Pardosa astrigera和甘肃平腹蛛Gnaphosa kansuensis为优势种,分别占个体总数的38.08%和27.17%。非量度多维尺度(non-metric multidimensional scaling,NMDS)分析显示苜蓿单作田同苜蓿邻(间)作田蜘蛛群落的结构组成差异较大,且在苜蓿田边界处和内部存在差异。不同类型苜蓿田边界处和内部蜘蛛群落的多样性指数、优势度指数、个体数量和丰富度在取样的不同时期存在显著差异。刈割可以促进苜蓿田中地表蜘蛛向邻作农田中迁移,苜蓿刈割后与苜蓿田邻作的小麦田和玉米田中蜘蛛个体数量和多样性指数均存在溢出效应,溢出效应的范围为距界面处0~20 m。小麦田中蜘蛛个体数量密度和多样性指数总体高于玉米田,溢出效应的持续时间为1~7 d,高于玉米田。     

Review: Date palm arthropod pests and their management in Israel

This review summarizes the current knowledge on the distribution, natural history, economic importance and management of 16 major species of date palm pests in Israel. Another 15, rarely occurring, pest species are also identified. Research on the date palm pests in Israel was initiated against a background of severe outbreaks of scale insects in the late 1950s. These outbreaks were caused mainly by unrestrained use of organophosphates. This situation led to the gradual development of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which was implemented first against scale insects and later against fruit pests. The IMP approach resulted in successful control of the scale insects, up to the present, whereas agrotechnical and crop management procedures, including covering the fruit bunches with plastic nets and early harvesting of several date cultivars, were successfully applied to achieve efficient control of the fruit moths. In addition, the use of chemical compounds in date plantations was drastically reduced and restricted to heavy foci of pest infestation. In time, microbial control, mainly application ofBacillus thuringiensis products against the lesser date moth, and the use of pheromone traps for monitoring and controlling red palm weevil, enabled further reductions in the use of synthetic insecticides. The overall change in pest management also significantly improved the preservation of natural enemies of the pests in the plantations. Whereas in the 1950s the major problems were caused by the parlatoria date scale and the green scale, in the early 2000s the key pests in date plantations in Israel are the lesser date moth and sap beetles in most of the date-growing areas, and spider mites which are restricted to the Arava Valley. Future management of the first two of these pests should rely on an improved monitoring system and integration of pheromone application for reduction of the population and damage. Efforst should be made to prevent the red palm weevil, which currently is a potential pest, from becoming an actual key pest in date plantations.     

The influence of the soil management systems on aboveground and seed bank weed communities in olive orchards

The biodiversity of farmed landscapes is, in the context of agricultural intensification, a key aspect with regard to improving the sustainability of agroecosystems. Olive groves are undergoing rapid changes because of the spread of intensive farming systems, which may have negative environmental impacts. This paper reports a survey on the aboveground flora and seed banks in five olive groves located in Andalusia (Southern Spain). In this study, the following three management systems have been compared: no‐tillage, with the mowing of spontaneous weedy vegetation; no‐tillage, with the mowing of planted cover crops (Poaceae); and conventional tillage practices. Results showed that coverage and an abundance of vegetation are favored by spontaneous weedy vegetation with mowing management, while the richness of aboveground species was affected by landscape diversity and the presence of edges, which increases the richness and diversity of aboveground flora species in olive groves. Seed bank composition showed a low relationship with aboveground flora in the three cover crop management systems. The multivariate analysis performed pointed to those seed species that have a major influence on the aboveground flora communities of each of the three agricultural systems. The seed bank was clearly impoverished in terms of both abundance and species richness after the long‐term conventional tillage practices. We conclude that the intensive long‐term conventional tillage dramatically reduces weed communities in olive orchards and the subsequent ecosystem services provided by them.

Comparative study of 2 protection strategies against Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in late open field tomato crops in Tunisia

A comparative study of 2 protection strategies against Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in open field tomato crops was performed. The first strategy used Integrated Pest Management (IPM) through mass trapping, release of Nesidiocoris tenuis and rational use of compatible insecticides. The second strategy was based on conventional use of synthetic insecticides (9 treatments). This study revealed at the end of the culture a 20% infestation rate of leaves in the IPM cropping system versus 98% in the conventional cropping system. The infestation rate of fruit was 18.2% in the IPM cropping system versus 46.8% with the conventional one.
