Suppression tactics for the citrus stink bug pest, Biprorulus bibax Breddin, were developed and implemented during 1987-1992 in four lemon orchards in southern New South Wales, Australia. Tactics were based on introduction and conservation of natural enemies (principally egg parasitoids), physical or chemical treatment of overwintering populations and strategic low rate applications of a selective insecticide. Estimated adult populations of 10-35,000/1.5 ha and 70-90% fruit damage in untreated crops were reduced to < 500/1.5 ha and <5%, respectively, following full implementation of the management programme. Integrated management of B. bibax removes the need for broad-spectrum insecticides to control this pest and lessens the risk of disruption to biological control of other citrus pests.

Australian fruitspotting bugs, Amblypelta nitida Stål and A. lutescens lutescens Distant (Hemiptera: Coreidae), and the potential for their biologically based management in macadamia orchards

Australian fruitspotting bugs, Amblypelta nitida Stål and A. lutescens lutescens Distant (Hemiptera: Coreidae), are major economic pests of macadamia nuts in Australia. They are also pests of approximately a dozen other tropical and subtropical horticultural crops, and minor pests of many more. They are endemic to the east and northern coastal regions of Australia and as such are distributed across the entire growing region of Australia's macadamia industry. Although the industry is reliant on synthetic pesticides for several major pests and diseases, including fruitspotting bugs, biological control of a major pest, the macadamia nutborer, Cryptophlebia ombrodelta Lower (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), has been successful and is widely adopted. This success has set a precedent within the macadamia industry and provided incentive for research and development of other biological control agents for other important pests. In the early 1990s, a hymenopteran egg parasitoid, Anastatus sp. (Eupelmidae), was identified as having potential as a biological control agent for fruitspotting bugs in Australia, and in 2010, mass rearing began. No formal studies on Anastatus sp., apart from initial releases conducted after its discovery, had been done prior to this thesis.A study on the potential for conservation biological control of fruitspotting bugs in macadamia orchards using habitat management was conducted over two years in northern New South Wales.Traditionally, trees in macadamia orchards are spaced such that the orchard canopy closes over when the trees reach maturity, shading out any existing ground-cover vegetation. In recent years, macadamia growers have been encouraged to adopt wider spacing and/or pruning techniques to increase light into their orchards for improved tree health and nut production. In this situation, common practice is to grow the shade-tolerant sweet smother grass in the mid-row; this provides ground-cover but does not increase floral diversity. In this study, open mid-row canopies, with resident, weedy, flowering mid-row ground-cover vegetation, were compared to closed mid-row canopies with no ground-cover vegetation in terms of a) pest and beneficial invertebrate abundance, b) predation levels of sentinel A. nitida eggs and c) levels of nut damage by A. nitida. The results showed a stark contrast between 'light' and 'dark' orchards; open canopy orchards ('light' orchards) harboured a significantly higher abundance of beneficial invertebrates than denser canopy orchards ('dark' orchards), whereas in 'dark' orchards the abundance of a major pest, the macadamia lace bug, Ulonemia concava Drake (Hemiptera: Tingidae), was significantly higher.Not a single fruitspotting bug was sampled during this experiment; however, damage levels to nuts were significantly lower in 'light' orchards compared to 'dark' orchards. Levels of predation on ii sentinel A. nitida eggs were variable and did not show any clear pattern that could be attributed to orchard management type. In two field release experiments, the...
