“…Insecticides have played a key role in the control of D. suzukii since its dispersal from Asia into new regions of the world (Schetelig et al, 2018). This has led to an increase or re-establishment of routine insecticide spray applications which disrupt integrated pest management (IPM) of other pests suppressed by biological control agents Medd, 2015, Roubos et al, 2014).…”

The circadian clock is responsible for time keeping within an organism and influences not only behavioural patterns, but also physiological rhythms including toxin susceptibility. Drosophila suzukii Matsumura is a global horticultural pest, and identifying rhythms in insecticide susceptibility could contribute to improving integrated pest management practices. To determine whether time of application influences mortality, LC50 rates of cyantraniliprole, lambda-cyhalothrin, pyrethrum and spinosad were applied to groups of adult D. suzukii at two different times of day. Insecticides were directly applied using a benchtop sprayer. We found no influence of time on mortality or oviposition for any of the four insecticides applied. However, several discoveries were made regarding the impact of sub-lethal and lethal rates on D. suzukii mortality, oviposition and offspring survival over time. In most cases, all surviving females recovered from insecticide rates, and laid the same number of eggs as females treated with the water control. Seven days after application, females that were treated with the field rate of spinosad laid the same number of eggs as the control. The lowest rate of cyantraniliprole resulted in more eggs being laid, initially, with no negative impact on survival of eggs through to adult emergence. However, there were transgenerational impacts of egg to adult survival when parents were treated with sub-lethal rates of spinosad and lambda-cyhalothrin. Although no impact of daily phase of application was detected within this assay, the information surrounding how D. suzukii interacts with lethal and sub-lethal rates of insecticides is of great importance, especially for the resistance management of D. suzukii.

“…Drosophila suzukii is a widely distributed pest species, originally from Asia, and currently found in Europe (Calabria, Máca, Bächli, Serra, & Pascual, 2012;Cini, Ioriatti, & Anfora, 2012), North and South America (Bolda, Goodhue, & Zalom, 2010;Deprá, Poppe, Schmitz, De Toni, & Valente, 2014;Walsh et al, 2011) and able to invade new areas, where it has not been detected yet (Dos Santos et al, 2017). Recent studies reported the possibility of adopting the sterile insect technique (SIT) as a strategy to suppress D. suzukii populations, by itself or integrated to other techniques, such as biological control and Wolbachia (Garcia, Wollmann, Krüger, Schlesener, & Teixeira, 2017;Krüger et al, 2018;Lanouette et al, 2017;Nikolouli et al, 2017;Schetelig et al, 2017).…”

Female remating is a widespread behaviour, reported in several insect species. This behaviour can affect the efficiency of sterile insect technique (SIT); however, little is known about the postcopulatory behaviour of some pest species considered as candidates to be controlled by this technique, such as Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) (Diptera: Drosophilidae). In this study, we investigated the effects of male and female sterilization on mating and remating behaviour of D. suzukii. First, we tested the occurrence of multiple mating in different combinations between sterile and fertile males and females. Then, we tested the effects of male and female sterility on female propensity to mate and remate. We found an overall low remating rate by D. suzukii females. Male sterility did not influence mating and remating likelihood; however, copula duration of sterile males was shorter compared to fertile males. On the other hand, sterile females were less likely to mate. Our findings encourage further research regarding the use of SIT to control D. suzukii.

“…Ovipositing D. suzukii females are difficult to detect and cause only little initial damage, making it difficult to discover the infestation early enough to respond effectively. Once the larvae start feeding inside the fruit they are protected from pesticides that are sprayed on the fruit [80]. Therefore, commercial soft fruit growers are now advised to repeatedly apply broad-spectrum insecticides in a prophylactic manner, until refined management practices are in place [81].…”

Context-Dependence and the Development of Push-Pull Approaches for Integrated Management of Drosophila suzukii

Sustainable pest control requires a systems approach, based on a thorough ecological understanding of an agro-ecosystem. Such fundamental understanding provides a basis for developing strategies to manipulate the pest’s behaviour, distribution, and population dynamics, to be employed for crop protection. This review focuses on the fundamental knowledge required for the development of an effective push-pull approach. Push-pull is a strategy to repel a pest from a crop, while attracting it toward an external location. It often relies on infochemicals (e.g., pheromones or allelochemicals) that are relevant in the ecology of the pest insect and can be exploited as lure or repellent. Importantly, responsiveness of insects to infochemicals is dependent on both the insect’s internal physiological state and external environmental conditions. This context-dependency reflects the integration of cues from different sensory modalities, the effect of mating and/or feeding status, as well as diurnal or seasonal rhythms. Furthermore, when the costs of responding to an infochemical outweigh the benefits, resistance can rapidly evolve. Here, we argue that profound knowledge on context-dependence is important for the development and implementation of push-pull approaches. We illustrate this by discussing the relevant fundamental knowledge on the invasive pest species Drosophila suzukii as an example.
