Abstract:

Preserving ecosystem services, such as natural enemies that can provide pest control, can positively impact crops without compromising agricultural yield. Even though controlling pests by natural enemies has been suggested to reduce pests in agriculture, growers continue using conventional pesticides that kill beneficial predators. Here we studied whether the predation of avian and insect-beneficial predators varies in an apple orchard with conventional insecticide use compared to a bordering tree stand without insecticides. We studied the predation rates of mealworm pupae as a proxy to coddli

Abstract:

Real-time detection and identification of orchard pests is related to the economy of the orchard industry. Using lab picture collections and pictures from web crawling, a dataset of common pests in orchards has been created. It contains 24,748 color images and covers seven types of orchard pests. Based on this dataset, this paper combines YOLOv5 and GhostNet and explains the benefits of this method using feature maps, heatmaps and loss curve. The results show that the mAP of the proposed method increases by 1.5% compared to the original YOLOv5, with 2× or 3× fewer parameters, less GFLOPs and t

Irrigated almond orchards in Spain are increasing in acreage, and it is pertinent to study the effect of deficit irrigation on the presence of pests, plant damage, and other arthropod communities. In an orchard examined from 2017 to 2020, arthropods and diseases were studied by visual sampling under two irrigation treatments (T1, control and T2, regulated deficit irrigation (RDI)). Univariate analysis showed no influence of irrigation on the aphid Hyalopterus amygdali (Blanchard) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) population and damage, but Tetranychus urticae Koch (Trombidiformes: Tetranychidae) damage o

In this article, the authors propose a multi-agent vision system supporting the autonomous spraying of orchards and analyze the condition of trees and occurrence of pests and diseases. The vision system consists of several agents: first, for the detection of pests and diseases of fruit crops; second, for the estimation of the height of trees to be covered with spraying; third, for the classification of the developmental status of trees; and fourth, for the classification of tree infections by orchard diseases. For the classification, modified deep convolutional neural networks were used: Xcept

The European earwig Forficula auricularia (L.) (Dermaptera: Forficulidae) is an omnivorous insect that is considered a minor pest of stone fruit and a key predator of pests in pome fruit orchards. In many pome fruit orchards, earwigs are absent or in low abundance due to broad-spectrum spray programs and the slow recolonization rate of earwigs. Orchards in transition to organic or “selective” conventional programs often struggle to achieve effective levels of biological control, and thus, may benefit from inoculating earwigs to expedite their re-establishment.

Insect species were sampled from 2022 to 2024 using field surveys with direct observation, and their diversity was analysed based on occurrence. 12 orders, 42 families, and 57 species were identified over the three-year study period. Primary pollinators were found to belong to the Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera orders, while most identified

Abstract We have demonstrated how management of key orchard pests including the insect invasive species Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) can be accomplished using a systems-level approach termed IPM-CPR (Integrated Pest Management-Crop Perimeter Restructuring) in apple. We conducted on-farm comparisons of IPM-CPR to standard management program for managing H. halys, Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), and Lygus lineolaris Palisot de Beauvois (Hemiptera: Miridae) in commercial apple orchards in 2014, 2016, and

Abstract:

Medical professionals’ and policymakers’ fear of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has largely been directed toward antibiotic use in medicine and animal agriculture. In Thailand, however, the use of antibiotics in citrus orchards has raised some concern over their ‘appropriateness’ and there have been calls for reduction—if not complete cessation—of their usage. We explore the emergence of antibiotic use for citrus greening disease (CGD) as part of shifting assemblages of plants, pests, pathogens, and people, as well as of varying climates, technologies, and farming practices. We suggest that ra

To obtain preliminary information on what flowering plant species are suitable to provide pollen, nectar and shelter for natural enemies of apple pests, six plant species were evaluated in a one-acre orchard in PA for their habitat potential. Sweepnet samples revealed that peak arthropod population densities were collected during peak bloom periods which varied for each plant species. The highest densities of Parasitic Hymenoptera and Insidious Flower Bugs (natural enemies) were found on Buckwheat, Mustard and Queen Anne's Lace, and lower densities on Anthemis, Black-Eyed Susan and Showy Golde

California walnut farmers compete with pests and diseases to produce an economically viable crop. Current control strategies work reasonably well for most pest and diseases. However, the future of these techniques is a matter of speculation. This presentation describes current production practices and potential alternatives to “traditional” pest and disease control. Codling moth, walnut husk fly, mites, navel orangeworm, aphids, and scale are typical insect pests that have an impact on California walnut production.

Population growth and climate change lead agricultural cultures to face environmental degradation and rising of resistant diseases and pests. These conditions result in reduced product quality and increasing risk of harmful toxicity to human health. Thus, the prediction of the occurrence of diseases and pests and the consequent avoidance of the erroneous use of phytosanitary products will contribute to improving food quality and safety and environmental land protection.

Improving almond orchard management by integrating cultural practices, pest and disease controls, and vegetation management has been a goal of Univ. of California research and extension efforts for more than 25 years. Alternative cultural practices related to orchard floor management, fertilizer applications, and pest and disease control are currently important components of the almond production system. Nontillage, with or without a seeded cover crop, has improved potassium uptake and reduced pest problems. In-season fertilizer applications reduced the potential for nitrate pollution of groun

Abstract:

Birds active in apple orchards in south–eastern Australia can contribute positively (e.g., control crop pests) or negatively (e.g., crop damage) to crop yields. Our study is the first to identify net outcomes of these activities, using six apple orchards, varying in management intensity, in south–eastern Australia as a study system. We also conducted a predation experiment using real and artificial codling moth (Cydia pomonella) larvae (a major pest in apple crops). We found that: (1) excluding birds from branches of apple trees resulted in an average of 12.8% more apples damaged by insects; (

Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is an invasive pest causing significant damage to tree crops. Our study examined the impact of newly designed aggregation pheromone-baited ‘mini–sailboat’ (MSB) traps for controlling H. halys and its effect on the spatial distribution of fruit damage. Four replicates of four traps, with a total of 16 MSB traps, were placed along a 1.3 km border of apple orchards, concentrating the traps on one side of the orchards. A fruit damage assessment for incidence and severity was conducted at increasing distances from the orchard border where the traps

Abstract:

The main features are identified and a model of the formation of the patho-entomoacarocomplex of fruit plantations is developed. The species composition of the orchard agrocenosis is formed mainly over a 5-7-year period and reaches a peak by the age of 14. It is established that the specific biodiversity of pathogens and phytophages in orchards is primarily due to the presence of a food base that ensures their vital activity. The population density of harmful species depends on the age of the orchard, agricultural techniques of cultivation, insecticides used and meteorological conditions of th
