This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The citrus leafminer (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) is an invasive herbivorous insect. CLM damage results in decreased sales of horticultural production for garden centers and homeowners. Nursery citrus growers in California treat for CLM several times per season primarily with the insecticide imidacloprid. The limitations and high cost of chemical control, in addition to toxicological problems such as insecticide persistence and resistance, justify the adoption of alternative management tactics. One non-chemical option for insect pest management is entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). Recent studies have shown greater EPN efficacy when applied with Barricade® gel, a fire retardant gel. Barricade® temporarily maintains moisture on the leaf surface, facilitating nematode survival. We sought to determine if UV protectants added to the Barricade® gel increase the efficacy of EPNs, to quantify the retention and survival of EPNs applied with gel, and to assess whether the gel facilitated nematode movement on an exposed surface The addition of UV protectants to the gel enhanced the protective properties of the formulation. Furthermore, we conclude that low concentration gel solution extends IJ survival up to 8 hours. Bottom-up methods of insect population management focus on modifying the host plant, often by strengthening plant defenses through nutrient management. Preliminary studies by our lab found a reduction in CLM feeding damage following treatment with soluble silicon. To expand on these results we sought to determine CLM oviposition preference, host acceptance, and preference for host volatiles. CLM adults were given a choice between a soluble silicon treated plant and a control. Adults were allowed to oviposit, then citrus leaves were inspected for eggs. CLM adults were also offered a dual choice in a glass Y-tube olfactometer. CLM adult females laid significantly fewer eggs on plants treated with soluble silicon. The evidence strongly suggests a silicate-induced change in the tactile or chemical profile of the leaf occurred. We also aimed to examine whether soluble silicate fertilizer could affect CLM population growth. To that end we sought to determine CLM larval feeding performance, quantify differences in rate of development and mortality of the larvae and pupae. The development of CLM from larvae to adult was observed and compared on soluble silicon fertilized plants vs. controls. We calculated net replacement rate (R[subscript]0) of CLM. CLM on soluble silicon fertilized plants had significantly lower survivorship than CLM on controls. The lower survivorship of CLM on soluble silicon plants suggests the possibility of induced plant defensive chemicals in the plants. The lower R[subscript]0 of the treated group is a strong indication that CLM population growth is reduced under the fertilizer regime. Our results show that the enhanced survival and mobility provided by the anti-desiccant and anti-UV materials have the potential to make EPNs more efficient at targeting foliar pests. Thorough testing of the combined results of soluble silicon and EPNs on CLM populations will determine the utility of these techniques in integrated pest management programs for CLM.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a definitive exposition of citrus pests and their integrated, mostly non-chemical, control in the Mediterranean area. This is the first book on this topic written by experts from various countries around the Mediterranean region. It provides useful information about the different agricultural management methods and how they impact pest control on various citrus plant species and varieties grown in the aforementioned region. the volume also describes methods of pest sampling, monitoring practices and determining the pests' economic thresholds. Special features of this text include updated data on various pests, their damage and control methods, key identification methods and a relevant glossary. the e-book should be a comprehensive guide for readers interested in citrus crops and integrated pest management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information on this pest has been obtained from other parts of the world where the pest occurs, and studies have been investigated to determine the impact of the pest in Florida. Development of short term control tactics have been pursued to provide guidance in use of pesticidal suppression methods, and some progress in managing the pest with pesticides has been achieved. At the same time, plans have been made to develop long-term approaches, including the use of biological control. Entomologists in the University of Florida and the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Services have initiated studies on endemic biological control and have contacts with cooperators in countries where other natural enemies are reported. These cooperative efforts have led to the recent introduction and release of two species of parasitic wasps for use against the pest.

Download or read book Integrated Management of Arthropod Pests and Insect Borne Diseases written by Aurelio Ciancio and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-16 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the last volume of the IPMD series. It aims, in a multi-disciplinary approach, at reviewing and discussing recent advances and achievements in the practice of crop protection and integrated pest and disease management. This last effort deals with management of arthropods, and is organized with a first section on biological control in citrus orchards, a second one on advanced and integrated technologies for insect pest management and a last section, dealing with mites and their biological control. A wide and exaustive literature already covers several aspects of chemical or biological control of insects and mites, but there is still a need for a more holistic vision of management, accounting for different problems and solutions, as they are applied or developed, in different regions and cropping systems, worldwide. In this series we attempted to fill this gap, providing an informative coverage for a broad range of agricultural systems and situations.
