“…Besides the predatory species, we found a number of phytophages without a closer connection to apple trees, the rarer ones were e.g. Harpocera hellenica and Halticus saltator, a new fi nding in the territory of Moravia (Hradil et al, 2013). Other interesting fi ndings were Stephanitis pyri, a rare species considered until recently extinct from our fauna.…”

In 2010 and 2011, the occurrence of arthropods on apple trees without management was monitored near the village of Velké Bílovice, South Moravia, in two selected localities (an abandoned apple tree orchard and a road apple tree alley). Arthropods in tree tops were killed using deltamehtrin applied with a fogger (Puls Fog). Each collection always contained the material from 5 trees in each site. In 2010, three collections were performed (28/4, 20/5, and 9/7), two in 2011 (11/5 and 23/6). Representatives of eleven orders were captured. Of all the orders trapped, Coleoptera was represented most frequently, the Hymenoptera and Diptera followed. In the alley, individuals of the Coleoptera (34%) were caught most frequently, the Hymenoptera (19.6%) and Hemiptera (17.4%) followed. In the orchard, the Coleoptera (41.4%) was represented most frequently, followed by the Hymenoptera (21.9%) and Diptera (15%). In both the environments, species with negative economic impact were recorded (e.g. Anthonomus pyri, Tatianaerhynchites aequatus, Cydia pomonella, Rhynchites bacchus). However, a greater number of pest antagonists were also found (Scambus pomorum, Coccinella septempunctata, Episyrphus balteatus, Pentatoma rufipes, Orius spp.). Some species were important in faunistic terms, as some critically endangered species were recorded (e.g. Dipoena erythropus, Cryptocephalus schaefferi), and the Plectochorus iwatensis species was recorded for the first time in the Czech Republic.

“…In the UK, damage attributed to P. rufipes has been a particular problem in pears, where growers are not likely to apply early-season insecticides which risk suppressing populations of natural enemies (particularly anthocorids) that help to provide control of pear sucker, Cacopsylla pyricola (Foerster) (Solomon et al, 1989). Pentatoma rufipes can also be abundant in apple orchards (Hradil et al, 2013;Štastna & Psota, 2013), but the sprays applied for other pests (particularly blossom weevils and sawflies) may have helped to give secondary protection against P. rufipes. UK growers reported unprecedented levels of P. rufipes damage to apples in 2019, but the reasons for the sudden increased impact on this crop are unclear.…”

Pentatoma rufipes (L.) is common and widespread across much of the Palaearctic. The insect is particularly associated with deciduous trees and may remain in woodlands throughout the year, feeding on species such as oak, beech, and hazel. 2 Pentatoma rufipes is emerging as an important pest of tree fruit in northern Europe. In recent years, agronomists have been finding increasing numbers of P. rufipes in and around orchards. Feeding activity on developing fruits is being linked with pitting and distortion damage to crops including apples and pears. 3 There has been limited research into the ecology of this pest. Crops are particularly susceptible shortly after flowering, when over-wintered P. rufipes nymphs feed on developing fruit. 4 Limited information is available linking local population levels and activity with damage. There has been some research on the impact of control strategies, but the most effective product tested was a broad-spectrum pyrethroid insecticide. Assessments of more selective plant protection products and the availability of alternative control strategies would help develop more integrated and effective control programmes for this pest. This review highlights several key findings concerning the biology and control of the pest and makes specific recommendations for further research.

“…The lace bug Stephanitis pyri (F.) (Tingidae; Heteroptera) generally attack leaves of pome and other stone fruit trees from family Rosaceae in the Mediterranean countries (Önder and Lodos 1983;Barta & Biben, 2016), causes serious losses of yield in pear trees and reduces its marketable value (Kivan & Aysal, 2011;Hradil et al, 2013). Lace bug, S. pyri (F) was considered to be one of the main economics pests on pear trees (Muhammed, 1995;Şahin et al, 2009).…”

This investigation conducted during the two successive seasons 2012-2013 in orchards within Erbil city to follow seasonal fluctuation of Stephanitis pyri. S. pyri start appear in the first week of April and reached a peak level 13.90, 11.4 in third week of August for the two years respectively when the mean temperature was ranged 33-34°C and R.H. 24-29%. Correlation values for lace bug incidence with weather parameters showed that maximum and minimum RH had negative influence on lace bug population. The change in the level of infestation was due to difference in environmental temperature, relative humidity. Field investigation pointed out that the female's activity of S. pyri began during the period from 1 st week of April onward 4 th week of October through which it laid their eggs.
