“…Infested grains lose their quality as a result of shrivelling and also owing to amylases and proteases injected into the kernels by the bugs to liquefy the tissue into nutrient‐rich slurry. Sunn pest releases salivary proteases, mainly serine proteases, to degrade barley proteins and to acquire its nitrogenous nutrients 17–19. Mehrabadi et al 20 investigated the digestive enzymes of sunn pest and found α‐amylase, α‐glucosidase and β‐glucosidase activities, thus confirming the polysaccharide‐rich diet of sunn pest.…”

BACKGROUND: This paper presents a multivariate approach to investigate the influence of barley variety, timing of nitrogen fertilisation and sunn pest infestation on malting and brewing. Four spring and two winter barley varieties were grown in one location in southern Europe. Moreover, one of the spring varieties was infested with sunn pest, in order to study the effects of this pest on malting quality, and subjected to different nitrogen fertilisation timing regimes. The samples were micromalted, mashed, brewed and analysed.

“…This defect involves the replacement of the endosperm of the grain by bunt spores, which have an unpleasant odour, resulting in the tainting of sound grain when the bunt-affected grain is admixed. Bug damage may affect wheat grown in much of southern Europe and Russia (Paulian and Popov, 1980;Werteker and Kramreither, 2008). 7.6 ).…”

“…The economic importance of wheat bug damage is due to crop losses and/or quality loss of wheat (Kinaci and Kinaci 2004), semolina (Ozderen et al 2008; Köksel et al 2009; Salis et al 2010), or flour (Hariri et al 2000; Sivri et al 1999, 2004; Aja et al 2004; Vaccino et al 2006; Werteker and Kramreither 2008). The feeding activity of wheat bugs also heavily affects the germination percentage of wheat (Bin et al 2006).…”

Wheat is a very important crop in Italy, and is infested by wheat bugs belonging to the genera Eurygaster (Hemiptera: Scutellaridae) and Aelia (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae). Many wheat bug infestations have been reported in the north, south, and center of Italy, both in the past as well as recently. The present study was carried out in Sardinia, Italy, during two years (2007 and 2008). The objective of this study was to determine the species and distribution of wheat bugs in durum wheat fields in Sardinia, and to estimate their population density in order to know the incidence of the pest on the island. Sampling took place twice a year (May and June) in three zones, representative of durum wheat cropping in the island. Four species of wheat bugs were found; the predominant species was Eurygaster austriaca (Schrank), followed by Aelia germari (Kuster), Eurygaster maura L., and Aelia acuminata L. The average density of wheat bugs was low (1.1 individuals/m2), but in certain areas it was above the damage threshold (4 individuals/m2). For this reason, the conclusion of the study is that this pest should be monitored in order to control outbreaks and prevent their further spread.
