“…Population estimates based on the level of male capture in pheromone-baited traps is considered more convenient (Millar et al 2005a). Much work has been done to optimize these sampling methods, especially in relation to trap design, trap color, type of dispenser, pheromone dose, and bait longevity and range (Francis et al 2007;Franco et al 2004aFranco et al , 2008aMillar et al 2002;Vitullo et al 2007;Walton et al 2004;Zada et al , 2008. Nevertheless, the use of pheromone traps as a monitoring tool for mealybug damage risk assessment depends on the existence of a reasonable relationship between the number of males captured in pheromone-baited traps and other mealybug infestation parameters, as recorded by other means, usually, visual sampling.…”

“…Similar results were found in Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Green), pheromone decreased over time and lures used in field longevity studies appeared to maintain their attractiveness for a shorter period of time (Francis et al . 2007). However, the longevity of the lures also can be affected by environmental factors, such as temperature, relative humidity, and wind speed (Walton et al .…”

The phytophagous caterpillar Illiberis ulmivora is a serious pest of Ulmus glaucescens Franch (Ulmaceae, Ulmus). In order to test potent sex attractant, field trails of synthetic candidate attractants were conducted in China. In this study, baits with ternary blends, (2S)‐butyl (7Z)‐dodecenoate, (2S)‐butyl (9Z)‐tetradecenoate, and (2S)‐butyl (5Z)‐decenoate (8:4:1 ratio) resulted in a higher number of male moths capture than the rest of the baits that were offered. Traps positioned at a height of 1.2 m attracted more males than those installed at heights of 2.2 m and 3.2 m. The slope aspect, temperature and humility had a significant effect on the trap catches. More catches occurred in traps placed on semi‐shady and semi‐sunny slopes than those placed on sunny and shady slopes. The number of pheromones in the septa decreased with age. The residual amounts of pheromones in the lures combined with 2,6‐di‐tert ‐ butyl‐p‐cresol (BHT) were higher than those in the control. However, there were no differences in the male captures between components and components combined with BHT during the first 8 d. These findings on monitoring and trap positions can be used to predict the occurrence and population dynamics of I. ulmivora, to develop ecological management of I. ulmivora.

“…The mealybugs themselves are in general visible, although they are hidden in the swollen growth. Male adults can also be caught using sticky cards baited with a sex pheromone which contains esters of lavandulyl and maconellyl and allow detection in areas of low density of the pest (Francis et al., 2007).…”

The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Maconellicoccus hirsutus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), the pink hibiscus mealybug, for the EU. M. hirsutus is native to Southern Asia and has established in many countries in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world. Within the EU, the pest has been reported from Cyprus and Greece (Rhodes). M. hirsutus is not listed in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/2072. It is highly polyphagous, feeding on plants assigned to 229 genera in 78 plant families, and shows some preference for hosts in the families Malvaceae, Fabaceae and Moraceae. Economically important crops in the EU such as cotton (Gossypium spp.), citrus (Citrus spp.), ornamentals (Hibiscus spp.), grapes (Vitis vinifera), soybean (Glycinae max), avocado (Persea americana) and mulberry trees (Morus alba) may be significantly affected by M. hirsutus. The lower and upper developmental temperature threshold of M. hirsutus on Hibiscus rosa‐sinensis are 14.5 and 35.0°C, respectively, with optimal female development estimated to be at 29.0°C. There are about 10 generations a year in the subtropics but as many as 15 may occur under optimal conditions. Plants for planting, fruits, vegetables and cut flowers provide potential pathways for entry into the EU. Climatic conditions in EU member states around the Mediterranean Sea and host plant availability in those areas are conducive for establishment. The introduction of M. hirsutus is expected to have an economic impact in the EU through damage to various ornamental plants, as already observed in Cyprus and Greece, and reduction in yield and quality of many significant crops. Phytosanitary measures are available to reduce the likelihood of entry and further spread. Some uncertainties include the area of establishment, whether it could become a greenhouse pest, impact, and the influence of natural enemies. M. hirsutus meets the criteria that are within the remit of EFSA to assess for it to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest.
