“…In the past, lime sulphur has normally been applied at the grape stage, i.e., when the blossom buds appeared as a tight cluster at the base of the rosette leaves. Recent observations (Collingwood and Brock, 1959), however, showed that very few mites emerged from overwintered, infested buds until the blossoms began to open. Peak emergence occurred during the blossom period, and mites continued to emerge at a reduced rate for some weeks after.…”

“…These authors then suggested that the first application of acaricide should be done just before the first mites migrate from the buds. Collingwood and Brock (1959) as well as Smith (1960a, b;1961) suggested, that the first migrating mites are less important because only a few young buds are present on the plants before flowering. However, according to Cross and Ridout (2001) acaricide application just before flowering is too late to control a significant proportion of mites migrating from the buds.…”

“…The migration of big bud mite has been studied intensively (Massee 1928;Collingwood & Brock 1959;Smith 1960a;Łęska 1970;Smolarz & Suski 1987;Csapo 1992;Gajek 1997). These studies were based on viewing infected buds under a stereoscopic microscope from which the best timing for chemical spray application was concluded.…”

“…There is much information available on the life cycle of the mite (Massee 1928;Behrens 1964;Taksdal 1967;Gajek 1997;Apenite et al 2012), the annual cycle of egg (Collingwood & Brock 1959;Csapo 1992) and mite content of galls (Smith 1960a(Smith , b, 1961Mitchell et al 2011), and the migration of mites from galls in spring in order to colonize new buds (Łabanowska & Gajek 1999;Cross & Ridout 2001). Although, it has been long recognized that the timing of the migration of the gall mite is not closely associated with a particular growth stage of the plant, commercial acaricide applications are still timed according to plant growth stage (Apenite et al 2012).…”

The blackcurrant gall mite (Cecidophyopsis ribis) is the most important pest of blackcurrant crops. Over recent years withdrawal from plant protection programmes of chemical products (endosulfan and amitraz) used for the control of this pest in Poland, has led to an observed increase in population numbers. In 2013, fenpiroxymate (Ortus 05 SC) became registered for control of this pest. It is deemed best that chemical protection should be used during the migration period; when big gall mites emerge from buds in search of new buds. The studies were carried out in a plantation of blackcurrants during 2011-2013. The assessment of migration of the blackcurrant gall mite was carried out on the cultivars 'Ben Hope', 'Ben Alde'r, 'Ojeby'n and 'Ruben'. Every year, from selected cultivars buds were collected. They were then placed on blackcurrant leaves within Petri dishes. After one, three and five days of placing buds on the leaves, the estimated number of eriophyid mites on the leaves was calculated. The data has shown a very useful method for monitoring blackcurrant gall mite, which can be used in calculating the treatment dates for this pest. Also, the data has shown that differences in the periods of migration of the mite are dependent on the cultivar and time of flowering. Among the cultivars observed the least susceptible to colonization by the blackcurrant gall mite was a Polish cultivar 'Ruben', while the most susceptible cultivar was 'Ben Hope'.

“…Hence bushes are usually reverted when heavily infested by C. ribis. Spraying such plantations may enhance plant growth, but the yields remain low since reversion causes failure of blossom set (COLLINGWOOD • BROCK 1961). Six per cent galled buds has been proposed as the critical level of attack, above which there is no prospect of rehabilitation through chemical spraying (LEGOWSKI & GOULD 1964).…”

Population samples of C. ribis from eastern Norway, western Norway, and England, and cuttings of 5 black currant varieties were exposed for different periods to — 18.5° ± 0.5° C and mites also to 6°. Mite mortality, mite emigration, egg production at 6°, and bud burst of the cuttings, were observed. Marked differences were found between the mite populations both in their ability to produce eggs at 6°, and in cold hardiness at — 18.5°. Mortality during cold treatment was inversely related to mite density in different buds as well as in different zones of each bud. Mite emigration was greatly facilitated when the side of the bud touched the twig. When comparing cold hardiness of the mites with that of black currant cuttings, cold treatment of the cuttings as a control measure appeared to be of little promise against the Norwegian populations of C. ribis. With the English population, however, a reasonable safety margin seemed to exist between exposures giving complete kill of the mites, and those which damage the cuttings. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG DIE ÖKOLOGIE DER KÄLTERESISTENZ IN VERSCHIEDENEN POPULATIONEN DER JOHANNISBEER‐GALLMILBE, CECIDOPHYOPSIS RIBIS Populationsproben von C. ribis von Rygge, Ost‐Norwegen; Hjelmeland, West‐Norwegen; und Reading, England, wurden für verschiedene Zeiten Temperaturen von —18,5 ± 0,5° und 6° ausgesetzt. Unbefallene Stecklinge der folgenden fünf Schwarze Johannisbeer‐Sorten wurden in ähnlicher Weise mit Kälte von —18.5° behandelt: Bang up, Booskop Giant, Brødtorp, Silvergieter's Zwarte und Wellington XXX. Mortalität, Abwanderung und Eiproduktion der Milben bei 6° und das Knospenaufbrechen der Johannisbeer‐Reiser wurden beobachtet. Die Milben von Rygge waren am meisten, die von Reading am wenigsten kälteresistent, während Milben von Hjelmeland eine mittlere Kälteresistenz aufwiesen (Fig. 1). Milben von Rygge, und in geringerem Maße die von Hjelmeland, produzierten bei 6° eine beträchtliche Anzahl Eier, während die Eiproduktion der englischen Population bei dieser Temperatur fast vollständig zum Stillstand gelangte (Tabelle III). Die Mortalität während der Kälte war umgekehrt proportional zur Milbendichte in verschiedenen Knospen (Fig. 2) sowohl wie in verschiedenen Zonen jeder Knospe (Tabelle I). Niedrige Wintertemperaturen wirken demnach nicht als Regulationsfaktor auf die Populations‐dynamik dieser Art. Die Wirkung der Kältebehandlung auf die Milbenabwanderung ist in Tabelle II dargestellt. Die Abwanderung der Milben wurde sehr erleichtert, wenn eine Seite der Knospe den Zweig berührte (Fig. 4). Mit einer möglichen Ausnahme von Booskop Giant und Brødtorp konnten die Sorten der Schwarzen Johannisbeeren 16 Tage lang —18,5° ohne sichtbaren Schaden für den Knospenaustrieb unterworfen werden. Milben aus Ost‐Norwegen überlebten 16 Tage Kältebehandlung in allen und Milben aus West‐Norwegen in einer der Prüfungen. Kältebehandlung der Stecklinge scheint deshalb als Bekämpfungsmaßnahme gegen die norwegischen Populationen von C. ribis wenig erfolgversprechend. In den englischen Milbenpopulationen wurd...
