“…Climate change, resulting from human activities and natural variability, represents an increasing challenge for agriculture [1]. One of the main results of climate change is the variation in the ecological niche of different species [2,3], including agriculture and forestry insect pests [4,5]. In parallel, the spread of alien invasive species is promoted by the import-export of goods and the movement of people [6].…”

Fruit Phenology of Two Hazelnut Cultivars and Incidence of Damage by Halyomorpha halys in Treated and Untreated Hazel Groves

Over the past decade, Halyomorpha halys has become one of the main threats to hazelnut production. Its trophic activity makes kernels inedible due to strongly detrimental effects on the organoleptic quality. Its management in Italy is still tricky due to the lack of effective native biocontrol agents and authorized and effective insecticides. A field test was performed on San Giovanni (SG) and Tonda Romana (TR) cultivars (early and late ripening, respectively) to assess the intensity of cimiciato damage with different pest management approaches (no insecticide and integrated pest management, IPM). Moreover, phenological analysis of fruits and the monitoring of stink bug species by traps and plant beating were carried out. In the untreated plots, the SG cv showed a higher cimiciato incidence with respect to the late TR cv (40% SG–NI vs. 23% TR–NI). This was probably due to the different phenological phases in which stink bugs injured the fruits. In fact, stink bug bites provoke different kinds of injuries (blanks, shriveled, and cimiciato) according to the fruit’s development period. Indeed, in the period of highest insect occurrence in the field, the fruits of the early cv (SG) were in kernel expansion, a phenological phase in which bug injuries are more likely in cimiciato defects. Lastly, the IPM did not provide sufficient fruit protection (19% SG–IPM vs. 11% TR–IPM). The interaction between the phenological development of hazelnuts and the brown marmorated stink bug represents a critical aspect in understanding and implementing effective strategies for controlling this key pest on hazelnut trees.

“…Invasive insects and pathogens represent an increasing threat to agriculture and forestry worldwide 1 , 2 . Despite the implemented preventative measures, the transport of goods (stored products, living plants and fruits), and people facilitate the introduction of invasive species in new areas 3 , 4 . And climate change promotes modification in the distribution range of pests and can cause the weakening of host plants and a higher level of damage by pests 5 , 6 .…”

The spread of Carpophilus truncatus is on the razor's edge between an outbreak and a pest invasion

In 2019, in southern Italy (Campania) there was an outbreak of a sap beetle infesting stored walnut fruits. A monitoring activity started to assess the spread and impact of the pest in walnut orchards and in warehouses, and an integrative characterization led to identify the beetle as Carpophilus truncatus. This species has been in Europe for a long time, rare and harmless until recently. We show also that this species is the same recently recorded in other two continents, Latin America and Australia, where it is causing massive damage on walnut and almond fruits. The sharing of a mitochondrial haplotype among populations recorded on three continents suggests that a worldwide invasion might be ongoing. A Geographic Profiling approach has determined that the more virulent population was first introduced in Italy, and the climate conditions of areas where C. truncatus is currently widespread and harmful indicate that the entire walnuts world production is in jeopardy as this species could adapt to any of the main walnut and almond production areas.

“…In this context, Journal of Pest Science has focused most of its editorial efforts for attracting major contributions on the biology, ecology and possibilities of sustainable control of invasive pests. To this aim, various special article collections have been published on invasive insect pests, such as those attacking stored products (Athanassiou 2012) and forests and urban trees (Sweeney et al 2019), the brown marmorated stink bug (Haye and Weber 2017), the spotted wing drosophila (Asplen et al 2015;Biondi et al 2016) and wireworms (Traugott et al 2013).…”
