“…In contrast to individual farm pest management, area-wide pest management is based on the premise of addressing the pest population of an entire area, not just a single farm (Faust 2008). The idea underlying such efforts is that it provides a larger and more lasting effect relative to individual (uncoordinated) farm sprays.…”

“…A mandatory component in CHMAs -that replaces its current voluntary characteralong with some form of enforcement seems crucial to overcome the issues of heterogeneity of growers and their groves, abandoned acreage, as well as the side effect of streptomycin and oxytetracycline on CHMAs. Faust (2008) summarizes the characteristics of an area-wide pest management program envisioned by Edward F. Knipling -a strong proponent of regional pest management; it included a mandatory component to ensure the success of the program due to the suboptimal level of pest management observed under voluntary programs. Ostrom (1990) identified eight design principles that characterized robust common-pooled resource institutions;…”

Citrus greening currently poses a severe threat to citrus production worldwide. No treatment or management strategy is yet available to cure the disease. Scientists recommend controlling the vector of the disease, and area-wide pest management has been proposed as a superior alternative to individual pest management. We analyzed a unique dataset of farm-level citrus yields that allowed us to test this hypothesis. We found that yields of blocks located in an area with higher participation in coordinated sprays were 28%, 73% and 98% percent higher in 2012/13, 2013/14, and 2014/15, respectively, compared to the yields of blocks under the same management but located in an area with lower participation; providing evidence on the efficiency of a well-performing pest management area to deal with HLB. However, participation in CHMAs has not been commensurate with this evidence. We present survey data that provide insights about producers' preferences and attitudes toward the area-wide pest management program. Despite the economic benefit we found areawide pest management can provide, the strategic uncertainty involved in relying on neighbors seems to impose too high of a cost for most growers, who end up not coordinating sprays.

“…dispersal distance, sequential host use, etc.) (Faust, 2008). In addition to knowing the biology of the fly within an orchard or commercial crop, and direct pest management tools, it also requires knowledge of how a pest moves within a district and between districts, what hosts support the pest outside of commercial cropping systems, and when and where the fly occurs when not in those cropping system.…”

The distribution, systematics and ecology of Bactrocera tryoni, the Queensland fruit fly, are reviewed. Bactrocera tryoni is a member of the B. tryoni complex of species, which currently includes four named species, viz. B. tryoni ssp., B. neohumeralis, B. melas and B. aquilonis. The species status of B. melas and B. aquilonis is unclear (they may be junior synonyms of B. tryoni) and their validity, or otherwise, needs to be confirmed as a matter of urgency. While Queensland fruit fly is regarded as a tropical species, it cannot be assumed that its distribution will spread further south under climate change scenarios. Increasing aridity and hot dry summers, as well as more complex, indirect interactions resulting from elevated CO 2 , make predicting the future distribution and abundance of B. tryoni difficult. The ecology of B. tryoni is reviewed with respect to current control approaches (with the exception of sterile insect technique (SIT) which is covered in a companion paper). We conclude that there are major gaps in the knowledge required to implement most noninsecticide-based management approaches. Priority areas for future research include host-plant interactions, protein and cue-lure foraging and use, spatial dynamics, development of new monitoring tools, investigating the use of natural enemies and better integration of fruit flies into general horticultural IPM systems.Ann Appl Biol 158 (2011) 26-54

“…The use of GIS technology today appears very promising in area-wide IPM programs, where activities are conducted over large geographical areas, involving the use of decision support systems, taking into account the pest and beneficial species colonisation and dispersal and evaluating the presence of environmental factors that, changing across the managed area, could affect the success of an IPM program (Faust 2008). Although there are some examples of the use of geostatistics in area-wide IPM programs (Tobin et al 2004;Carrière et al 2006;Smith et al 2006;De Luigi et al 2011), their use in fruit orchard and vineyard protection is still very limited.…”

Sciarretta A., Trematerra P. (2014): Geostatistical tools for the study of insect spatial distribution: practical implications in the integrated management of orchard and vineyard pests. Plant Protect. Sci., 50: 97-110.Spatial heterogeneity in agricultural systems is recognised as an important source of variability to be investigated. In the evolution of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), patterns and processes that influence spatio-temporal dynamics in insect populations tend to assume more importance compared to the classical theory. Geostatistics represent a valuable tool to investigate the spatial pattern of insect populations and to support pest control. After an explanation of the geostatistical analysis, in the present paper we provided an overview of practical applications in managing pests, focusing on fruit orchards and vineyards. The utility of geostatistical tools is illustrated with examples taken from field studies, with attention to the analysis of spatial patterns, monitoring schemes, use of traps, scale issues, precision targeting, and risk assessment maps. Potential approaches in the context of IPM are discussed in relation to future perspectives.
