“…Utilizing plant-produced VOCs may be a less intensive way to manage pests compared to conventional pesticide application (Desneux et al, 2006;Khan et al, 2008), or could provide supplementary control. Plant-produced VOCs may disrupt hostfinding behavior by either repelling or deterring pest insects from potential hosts (Miller and Cowles, 1990;Agelopoulos et al, 1999;Cook et al, 2007;Khan et al, 2008), or by attracting insects to traps (Burrack et al, 2015;Figueroa-Castro et al, 2017;Hasni et al, 2017). For example, VOCs from plant essential oils have been used to repel agricultural pests including codling moth (Cydia pomenella L.) (with oils of lavender, Lavandula officinalis L.; pennyroyal, Mentha pulegium L.; and cypress, Cupressus sempervirens L.) (Landolt et al, 1999), red bud borer midges [Resseliella oculiperda (Rubasaamen)] (with lavender essential oil, Lavandula angustifolia P.…”

Intercropping can be used to reduce pest insects within agricultural systems, e.g., through deterring pests directly or by increasing habitat for their natural enemies. For example, plant produced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can deter or confuse host-finding by insects through olfactory disruption. Drosophila suzukii is an invasive fruit fly of agricultural concern as it can lay its eggs in both ripening and fresh fruits and, uses olfactory cues to identify its wide range of host plants. Peppermint plants (Mentha × piperita) produce high levels of VOCs while growing and may, therefore, be suitable as an intercrop to reduce D. suzukii infestations in the field, as peppermint essential oil VOCs have previously been shown to deter D. suzukii in olfactory trials. We conducted a field intercropping experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of peppermint plants compared to traditional ryegrass/clover mixes in reducing D. suzukii oviposition in the field, and the effect of peppermint intercrops on other invertebrates. In the field, we monitored sentinel fruit baits weekly for D. suzukii infestation. Additionally, we monitored intercropping effects on the invertebrate community through weekly pitfall trap collection and through a pollinator point survey. We monitored for local, farm level presence of D. suzukii through apple cider vinegar traps within crop fields and along hedgerows and found high abundance of D. suzukii (>3,000 individuals trapped). Peppermint intercrops had fewer D. suzukii emerge from fruit baits and supported greater beneficial insect abundance (predators and pollinators) compared to ryegrass/clover. However, levels of D. suzukii were low across both intercrop types. Overall, we found that peppermint intercrops could be a potential aromatic intercrop used to reduce D. suzukii adult emergence from fruit compared to conventional ryegrass/clover mixes, however this trial should be replicated over multiple growing seasons, geographic locations, and host fruits. Furthermore, further study should determine the effects of the intercrop on the focal crop of interest.

“…Among economically important pests that affect the crop, agave weevil, Scyphophorus acupunctatus Gyllenhal, is important because it can damage as much as 24.5% of piñas that reach tequila processors (Solís-Aguilar et al 2001, González-Hernández et al 2007). To manage the weevils, chemical insecticides are applied (Terán-Vargas et al 2012) or food baits are used in combination with aggregation pheromones (Rodríguez-Rebollar et al 2012, Figueroa-Castro et al 2017). However, biological control with entomopathogenic nematodes can offer agroecological management of S. acupunctatus (Velázquez et al 2006, Delgado-Gamboa et al 2015).…”

“…El monitoreo de S. acupunctatus en plantaciones de agave tequilero y mezcalero es a través de un sistema de trampeo con una feromona de agregación sintética y un atrayente alimenticio (tejido de agave), al cual se le agrega insecticida para retener a los individuos en las trampas (Figueroa-Castro et al, 2017;Piñero y Ruiz-Montiel, 2019).…”

El picudo del agave, Scyphophorus acupunctatus Gyllenhal, es la plaga más severa e importante en las especies comerciales del género Agave. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la incidencia (IN), fluctuación poblacional (FP) y porcentaje de severidad (SV) de S. acupunctatus en tres plantaciones comerciales con diferentes variedades de maguey pulquero, Agave salmiana Otto ex Salm-Dyck, en el noreste del Estado de México, México. La IN se calculó mediante un muestreo aleatorio simple por cuadrantes, FP se obtuvo a partir de un conteo y sexado quincenal de S. acupunctatus y se utilizó una regresión lineal para determinar la posible relación entre la humedad relativa (HR) y la temperatura (T) con FP de S. acupunctatus. El porcentaje de SV se midió con una escala diagramática de severidad y se evaluó con la prueba Kruskal Wallis y corrección de Bonferroni. La severidad por variedad se estimó usando los datos obtenidos del SV observado, más la adición de evaluación del agroecosistema, la cual se obtuvo del cálculo del índice de parcela agroecológica (IPA) y caracterización fitoquímica por variedad (CR). La IN de S. acupunctatus varió de 2 a 49 % en plantas; las tres plantaciones mostraron una proporción hembra:macho con tendencia a 1:1, y aunque hubo incremento de S. acupunctatus en los meses de mayo-junio y octubre-noviembre, no hubo influencia significativa de la HR y T sobre la FP de S. acupunctatus. El grado de SV estuvo relacionado con el variedad (P = 2.6 E-12). La variedad Verde tuvo mayor SV en comparación con Manso (P = 1.5 E-7) y Carrizo (P = 8.4 E-11). La CR % proteína y % grasa mostraron correlación significativa (P ≤ 0.01) con SV. Es posible encontrar a los adultos de S. acupunctatus durante todo el año en las plantaciones de maguey pulquero evaluadas con una incidencia de plantas infestadas hasta del 50 %. Las variedades de maguey pulquero se comportan diferente, siendo Verde la variedad con mayor SV.
