Impact of glucosinolate in relation to leafminer,Liriomyza brassicae Riley (Diptera: Agromyzidae) infestation in crucifers

Eight species belonging to the Family Cruciferae were classified to lafminer resistant, tolerant and susceptible on the basis of leafminer infestation. They were analyzed for the glucosinolate content and correlated with leafminer infestation. Total glucosinolate content in general and sinigrin content in particular appeared to have the ability to repel the attack ofLiriomyza brassicae, while gluconapin appeared to attract them. The percentage of infestation, the number of mines and the number of living larvae were estimated for evaluating the glucosinolate efficacy againstL. brassicae on cabbage.

New parasitoids of Paraphytomyza populi (Kltb.) (Diptera, Agromyzidae) in Bulgaria

The parasitoid complex of Paraphytomyza populi (Kltb.) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) was studied in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1997. Poplar leaves with P. populi larvae and pupae were collected from poplar stump shoots and examined in a laboratory. As a result, eleven parasitoid species were established: Chorebus albipes (Haliday) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae), Pediobius metallicus (Nees), Danuviella subplana Erdos, Chrysocharis nephereus (Walker), Chrysocharis pubicornis (Zetterstedt), Diglyphus crassinervis Erdos, Diglyphus isaea (Walker), Diglyphus albiscapus Erdos, Cirrospilus diallus Walker, Cirrospilus pictus (Nees) (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) and Elasmus sp. (Hymenoptera, Elasmidae). Six species (D. crassinervis, D. isaea, D. albiscapus, C. diallus, C. pictus and Elasmus sp.) have been recorded as new parasitoids of P. populi. The genus Danuviella was found for the first time in Bulgaria. Five species (C. albipes, P. metallicus, D. subplana, D. crassinervis and D. albiscapus) are new records for the fauna of the country. The total mortality of P. populi caused by parasitoids was 19.1% and 49.0% for the overwintering and the summer generations, respectively. P. metallicus was the most important in reducing the pest number.

Effects of low temperatures on pupal survival of the stone leek leafminer Liriomyza chinensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Abstract

The cold-hardiness of Liriomyza chinensis pupae was measured in the laboratory by observing pupal mortality at low temperatures. Pupal mortality increased with decreasing temperature and with extended cold exposure time. No recently pupated pupae (6 h) were able to survive after 16 days of chilling at 0, 2.5 and 5°C, but 42.9% survival was observed at 10°C. Pupae at different developmental stages showed significant difference in mortality, with very low levels of mortality observed for older pupae (4 and 7 days) after exposure to 0°C for 16 days. The lethal time for 50% survival (LT₅₀) increased with increasing age of pupae. LT₅₀ for 4-day-old pupae exposed to 0°C was 52.1 days. Analysis of mean temperatures at several localities indicated that L. chinensis is able to overwinter outdoors in southern regions, but is unable to overwinter in open fields in northern regions of Japan, suggesting that overwintering in these regions would only occur in greenhouses.

A new pest on soybean in Turkey: Melanagromyza sojae Zehntner (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Melanagromyza sojae Zehntner (Hemiptera: Agromyzidae) is known as a pest of several leguminous plants, especially Glycine max, soybean, in several countries worldwide. As a result of an alert raised by soybean producers in the province of Adana, which has a large share of soybean production in Turkey, plant samples in which pupae were observed were collected from two soybean fields in Çukurova in the production season in 2018. The samples were kept in the laboratory and the emerging adults were identified morphologically as M. sojae. Observations made in soybean fields in Turkey are presented. A review of the situation for this pest and its control methods are is presented. This is the first report of M. sojae in Turkey. It is therefore recommended to perform a close monitoring of this pest to investigate more in detail the extent of the damage caused by this pest in soybean crops in Turkey, to identify its variety preferences, other other hosts, natural enemies and control methods to be used.

New Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) parasitoids of Dasineura saliciperda (Dufour) (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) in Bulgaria

Abstract The parasitoid complex of Dasineura saliciperda (Dufour) (Diptera, Cecidomyiidae) on Salix fragilis L. was studied in 1997 and 2002 in two localities in Bulgaria. As a result, 5 species from 3 families of Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) were reared from pest galls: Eurytoma afra Boheman, Eurytoma salicis Walker (Eurytomidae), Torymus microcerus (Walker) (Torymidae), Gastrancistrus sp. and Mesopolobus sp. (Pteromalidae). E. afra and T. microcerus are new species for the fauna of Bulgaria, and E. salicis – a new parasitoid of the host. Total parasitism of D. saliciperda in the studied years ranged between 44.1 and 53.5 %. E. afra was the most important, destroying 21.9-53.5 % of the pest.     

First record of Phytomyza gymnostoma Loew (Diptera: Agromyzidae) a leaf mining pest of leeks in Greece

In autumn 2007, an allium leafminer, Phytomyza gymnostoma Loew (Diptera: Agromyzidae), was recorded for the first time in non‐commercial leek crops in the areas of Elassona and Katerini in Central Greece. Leek plants were severely damaged by the leafminer larvae infestation. Typical feeding symptoms were observed, caused by the mining behaviour of larvae within inner and outer leaves of leek plants, resulting in the formation of descending galleries. Pest control was performed locally using commercial insecticides with unknown efficacy mainly due to ignorance of the species biology.     

Seed dressing insecticides for bean fly [Ophiomyia phaseoli (Tryon) (Diptera: Agromyzidae)] control in Ethiopia

Abstract

Six seed dressing insecticides were tested for efficacy against Ophiomyia phaseoli (BF) in 1987 and 1988 at two locations in south‐central Ethiopia. Endosulfan and aldrin, at 5 g a.i./kg of seeds, were the least phytotoxic and the most effective. The rest gave variable results; BF control with some insecticides (e.g. furathiocarb) was comparable, but they showed varying degrees of phytotoxicity. The maximum seed yield loss was 36.5%. The results suggest that aldrin be replaced with endosulfan, which is less persistent.     

Pest status and ecology of bean stem maggot (Ophiomyia spp.: Diptera: Agromyzidae) on the Niassa Plateau,Mozambique

Research was carried out on the Niassa Plateau, northern Mozambique, with the aim of determining the phenology and importance of bean stem maggot (BSM) (Ophiomyia spp.: Diptera: Agromyzidae) on common beans. The objective of the study was to gather information in order to develop elements of an integrated control programme against BSM for use by farmers in the local cropping system, characterized by limited access to external inputs. Date of sowing trials were used in six consecutive rainy seasons to determine infestation rate of BSM during the main bean growing season and to determine damage due to the pest. These trials were also used to evaluate insecticide treatments against BSM and, at the same time, to undertake a survey of BSM parasitoids and the rates of parasitism from puparia collected at each sowing date. It was observed that infestation rates of BSM increased with delay in date of sowing in each of the two growing periods during the season and that percentage plant loss and yield decrease was correlated with number of BSM per plant. Insecticide seed treatmentwas effective in reducing infestation rates. BSM has two main parasitoids that probably play a role in limiting BSM population towards the end of the first growing period.     

Types of bark beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) infestation in spruce forest stands affected by air pollution, bark beetle outbreak and honey fungus (Armillaria mellea)

583 spruce stands in an area affected by air pollution and bark beetle outbreak in Eastern Slovakia were studied in 1996. According to bark beetle infestation of dominant and codominant trees, stands were classified into following types of spruce stand decline:Ips typographus-A,Ips typographus-B,Polygraphus poligraphus, I. typographus/P. poligraphus—A,I. typographus/P. poligraphus—B. The presence of attacked trees in forest edges, bark beetle spots and forest interior was the key important factor for the classification. Data from forest inventory and forest management evidence together with data on types of spruce stands decline were used in further analyses. Results shows that the distribution of forest stands classified into different types or uninfested stands is related mainly to host size and site quality. The percentage of spruce, exposition of stands and stand density showed significant effects. The mechanisms of spreading of studied bark beetle outbreak could be explained by direct effects of stress of trees caused by an abrupt increase of level of solar irradiation and by weakening of trees by the honey fungus.
