“…For example, virus outbreaks have triggered the investigation of their detecting sensors. High toxicity, even at low concentrations, of pesticides 298 and melamine have led to the demand of monitoring these food contaminant/additive, especially when melamine contamination is usually related to enfant milk. 299 Diabetes and cancers are also concerning as the number of patients suffering and dying of these disease keeps rising every year.…”

“…Chemical-based pesticides are considered a simple and efficient control measure and are extensively applied in agriculture. However, long-term use of chemical pesticides can easily cause unsatisfactory pesticide residue levels, which would pollute the environment, threaten human and animal health, and increase drug resistance of pathogenic microorganisms ( 7 , 8 ). Thus, the use of traditional chemical fungicides falls outside the concept of sustainable agriculture.…”

Searching the economical, eco-friendly and efficient biological control measures is the key to protecting crops from pathogenic fungi. The species of Burkholderia genus are widespread in the natural environment, of which nonpathogenic members have been reported to have great potential for biological control agents and biofertilizers for agricultural application. Burkholderia gladioli strains, however, need more study and application in the control of pathogenic fungi, plant growth promotion, and induced systemic resistance (ISR).

“…Furthermore, fungicides such as copper and sulphur which are applied in organic viticulture can also have detrimental effects on beneficial arthropods 26–28 . In addition, plant protection products are rapidly changing and pesticide regulations in many countries are imposing increasingly strict requirements on environmental safety 29–32 . Considering all these factors, the effects of conventional versus organic management on biodiversity and ecosystem service provisioning are expected to vary with time and region.…”

BACKGROUND Pesticides are considered main contributors to global arthropod declines and therefore may decrease the provision of ecosystem services such as natural pest control. Organic farming and cultivating pest‐ and disease‐resistant varieties can allow pesticide applications and their impacts on nontarget organisms and the environment to be reduced. We investigated the effects of organic versus conventional management and fungus‐resistant versus susceptible wine grape varieties on arthropod biodiversity and pest control of grape berry moths in 32 vineyards in the Palatinate region, Germany. Hazard quotients of applied pesticides were calculated for each vineyard. RESULTS The cultivation of fungus‐resistant varieties led to significantly reduced hazard quotients and in turn enhanced abundances of natural enemies, particularly theridiid and philodromid spiders. Unexpectedly, organic management resulted in higher hazard quotients than conventional management and reduced numbers of natural enemies, particularly earwigs. Pest predation rates showed no significant differences between grape varieties or management types. CONCLUSION Widespread benefits of organic management on arthropod biodiversity found in other crops were absent in our viticultural study region. This is likely due to the dominant role of fungal diseases in viticulture, which requires high numbers of fungicide treatments under both conventional and organic viticulture. Thus, fungicide reduction through the cultivation of fungus‐resistant grape varieties is one key element to fostering the abundance of arthropods in general and beneficial arthropods in particular. Beyond vineyards, this is potentially relevant in numerous other crop types. © 2023 The Authors. Pest Management Science published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of Society of Chemical Industry.
