“…Regarding the adjective 'clara' (light), this is related with the leaf color, as it was corroborated with the colorimetric assay of the leaves, and also with the loose bunch of Veremeta, as this name is also used to indicate this characteristic in the area where it is grown. Compact bunches are more susceptible to diverse pests and diseases such as Botrytis bunch rot and Lobesia boltrana, which cause serious economic damage in grapevines [30][31][32]. Therefore, the loose bunches of Veremeta clara could be of interest in minimizing damages and reducing the chemicals needed for their control.…”

Viticultural adaptations to climate change are needed, and the utilization of grapevine varieties that are better-adapted to water scarcity could contribute to finding grape varieties that are adapted to climate change. The present research was carried out to expand the limited knowledge on the minor varieties Arcos and Forcallat in comparison with three other more widespread traditional Mediterranean cultivars (Bobal, Garnacha, and Monastrell). An ampelographic characterization was carried out and provided with the characteristics for the cv. Arcos, which have not been previously described, as well as traits that are useful for differentiating it from the cv. Forcallat. Both varieties maintained low stomatal conductance, having the highest number of small stomata in comparison to the rest of varieties. Arcos and Forcallat also showed the highest intrinsic water use efficiency in addition to being late ripening, a characteristic that could be of interest in the context of water scarcity and warm climates for better coupling of technological and phenolic maturity. In parallel, we analyzed Veremeta plants considered a synonym of Monastrell, which were growing in the same field. The synonymy was confirmed by SSR markers, but phenotypic differences between plant materials were determined in relation to their ampelographic, agronomical, and physiological traits. Indeed, both accessions are very interesting as materials to be studied in agronomic trials under different watering regimes in order to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the drought tolerance of the evaluated Mediterranean varieties.

The intensive use of insecticides can result in environmental pollution and adverse effects on human health due to the issue of insecticide residue in the environment. To mitigate this, various control techniques, including cultural, biological, and biotechnical methods, or their combinations, can be employed to manage invasive species. One such biotechnical method that has become popular is the use of pheromones. Pheromone techniques enable early pest detection, population monitoring, mass trapping or annihilation, and mating disruption. To maximize their effectiveness, it is important to determine the exact pheromone component, optimization rate, trap design, and saturation rate for each species. In conclusion, implementing these different pheromone-based strategies is essential for providing effective pest management strategies that take regional variations in pheromones into account.

“…We placed a pheromone trap near each pheromone braid both in IPM and conventional vineyards and counted the moths at the end of each of the experimental periods. Although pheromone-based mating disruption was applied in these plots, pheromone traps could be effectively used since our experiment started only 3 to 4 months after the treatment by the farmers, and the traps remained effective up to 3-4 months after they were placed [45].…”

Insectivorous bats may play a significant role in regulating populations of agricultural pests. Currently, few methods are available to enhance the activity of bats in agroecosystems. We asked whether synthetic sex pheromones, used in integrated pest management (IPM) to impede the mating success of major moth pests in vineyards and apple orchards, could also enhance the activity and richness of insectivorous bats, their natural enemies. We hypothesized that applying concentrated sex pheromones of pest moths will alter the movement patterns of male moths, indirectly affecting bat richness and activity. We compared the effect of sex pheromones on bats under two different agricultural management systems: conventional farming and IPM. We used synthetic sex pheromones of Lobesia botrana or Cydia pomonella; both are among the most destructive moth pests in vineyards and apple orchards, respectively. Using passive acoustic monitoring, we compared species richness and bat activity in plots without and with additional pheromones. In both IPM vineyards and IPM apple orchards, total bat activity and species richness significantly increased after applying the pheromone treatment, with a positive correlation between total bat activity and the numbers of moth pests in the vineyards. In conventional vineyards, bat species richness increased significantly, but not total bat activity. IPM vineyards had significantly higher species richness than conventional vineyards, both before and after the pheromone treatment. Our study shows that moth pheromone lures, commonly used as a pest control method, may also attract insectivorous bats, which in turn may further suppress the pests. These findings highlight the potential of insectivorous bats as pest control agents and call for further research directed at integrating them in IPM practices.
