“…Insect reliance on the vegetative leafing stage of plants is exemplified by dipteran cecidomyiid midges. Female midges depend on young leaves or fresh shoot tips for feeding and oviposition (Cockfield and Mahr 1995;Hallett 2007;Wearing et al 2013). Many cecidomyiid midges are agricultural pests because larval feeding on crop plants reduces the leaf surface and curtails the formation of buds which would otherwise develop into fruiting bodies (Allison et al 1995;Fitzpatrick et al 2018;Rhodes et al 2014;Tewari et al 2014;Wearing et al 2013).…”

For example, females of the cranberry tipworm, Dasineura oxycoccana (Johnson), emerge in spring coincident with the appearance of vegetative cranberry shoots (Cockfield and Mahr 1995;Fitzpatrick et al 2018).…”

Attraction of Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs, Halyomorpha halys, to Blooming Sunflower Semiochemicals

et al. 2021

I tested whether the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys, discriminates among phenological stages of sunflower, Helianthus annuus. When BMSB females in a still-air laboratory experiment were offered a choice of potted sunflowers at distinct phenological stages (vegetative, pre-bloom, bloom, seeding), most females settled onto blooming plants. In moving air olfactometer experiments, testing each plant stage versus one another, for the attraction of BMSB females, blooming sunflowers overall were most attractive. Analyzing the headspace odorants of each plant stage revealed a marked increase of odorant abundance as plants transitioned from pre-bloom to bloom. Thirteen blooming-stage odorants elicited responses from female BMSB antennae. A synthetic blend of antennally-active odorants attracted BMSB females in laboratory olfactometer experiments, and in field settings enhanced the attractiveness of BMSB pheromone as a trap lure, particularly in spring. Sunflower semiochemicals coupled with synthetic BMSB pheromone could be developed to improve efforts to monitor and control BMSB populations.

“…Apple leafcurling midge has four generations per year between early spring and mid-autumn throughout most of New Zealand (Smith & Chapman 1997;He & Wang 2011;Lo et al 2015). The exception is Central Otago where three or four generations occur depending on summer temperatures (Wearing et al 2013). Adults emerge from the soil litter and mate immediately.…”

Annual and regional variability in adult <i>Dasineura mali</i> (apple leafcurling midge) emergence in New Zealand

Apple leafcurling midge is an important quarantine pest for New Zealand apple exports. Season-long pheromone trapping was conducted in Hawke’s Bay and Nelson from 2004—2017, and from 2012—2017 in Central Otago. Four generations occurred annually in Hawke’s Bay and Nelson and 3—4 in Central Otago. In Hawke’s Bay and Nelson, the timing of each peak varied by about 3—4 weeks between years, while the difference was ~2—3 weeks in Central Otago during fewer years of monitoring. Hawke’s Bay was up to a month earlier than Central Otago for the same peak within individual years. The major factor behind this variability was the accumulated number of growing degree-days. Insecticide sprays target midge larvae, but are timed against the second and third peaks of adult emergence. Variations in the timing of these peaks annually and across the main pipfruit growing regions, mean that specific insecticide timing recommendations are necessary each year for each region.

Prospects for the control of apple leaf midge Dasineura mali (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) by mass trapping with pheromone lures

The attractiveness of the pheromone, monophagous habit and low mobility of D. mali enhance the prospects for successful mass trapping. Countering this are high populations, multivoltinism and aspects of mating behaviour. Mass trapping would probably have been more effective had it been in place season long and conducted over successive years. It needs refinements and more study before becoming a feasible control option for D. mali.
