“…However, of these fungi, only few records have been made of natural infections in mites. Leatherdale (1965) observed a mycosis of the blackcurrant mite Cecidophyopsis ribis by Paecilomyces eriophytis, later also found in Italy on Phytoptus avellanae, a mite causing big bud disease in ornamental and fruiting hazel (Corylus avellana). Experiments were carried out with the fungus isolate from C. ribis to infect the European red mite Panonychus ulmi and the eriophyids Aceria hippocastani (from horse chestnut) and Cecidophyes galii (from goosegrass).…”

Abstract. An overview is given of diseases in mites, caused by infectious microorganisms. Many pathogens play an important role in the regulation of natural populations of mite populations and are for this reason subject of research on the feasibility to develop such pathogens to biological control agents. Several examples are given of successful application of pathogens for the control of mite pests, but also failures are discussed. Most studies concern fungal pathogens of tetranychids and eriophyids; some of these fungi are possible candidates for biological control agent of species of noxious mites. An interesting group of pathogens form the intracellular symbionts: bacteria that may cause unusual effects in their hosts, such as parthenogenesis, feminization, male killing and incompatibilities. This group of bacteria is present in many invertebrates species and are presently widely studied as new molecular techniques have become available that make detection of such symbionts possible. Attention is also given to quality control of beneficial mites that are being used in integrated control programs. Beneficial mites, as e.g. predatory mites, may also be infected by microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, microsporidia), resulting in poor performance of the predator. Prospects for the application of pathogens in IPM systems are discussed.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland:Corylus avellana

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Corylus avellana L. (Hazel) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and behaviour. The main topics are presented within the standard framework of the Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: distribution, habitat, communities, responses to biotic factors, responses to environment, structure and physiology, phenology, floral and seed characters, herbivores and disease, history and conservation. Wild C. avellana in Britain and Ireland grows in a wide climatic and ecological range, in a broad suite of vegetation communities, particularly woodlands, at all latitudes and from 0 to 650 m asl. It supports a large number of faunal and fungal associates. The developing plant sends up basal shoots every spring from the peripheral parts of its underground stool, which gives it a structural regenerative advantage over cohabitant woody species. The flowers and pollen of C. avellana are adapted for wind pollination, yet honeybees have been observed to gather its pollen. The pollen and fruit of C. avellana are a cause of allergic reactions in sensitive people, with previous exposure to Birch pollen a strong predictor of the food allergy. Corylus avellana is native to Europe and western Asia, and was one of the first plant species to recolonize Europe after the last gIacial period. By the time of its cultivation in the Roman empire, regional human‐selected lineages of C. avellana were already developing, with independent domestication in the western and eastern Mediterranean. Corylus avellana is a genetically diverse taxon with effective gene flow across populations, presenting a continuum of wild to domesticated plants. Its nuts and involucres show a wide morphological variability, with hundreds of cultivars and forms proposed. The taxon Corylus maxima Mill. is sympatric and fully fertile with C. avellana, yet rarely self‐sown and their hybrid is little recorded in Britain and Ireland. Independent molecular studies have concluded that specimens of C. maxima cluster with C. avellana. Hazelnuts are globally one of the most important nut crops, currently with 70% of traded nuts being grown in Türkiye, followed by Italy and Azerbaijan.

The apple rust mite Aculus schlechtendali (Nal.) (Acari: Eriophyidae), is a main pest in applegrowing areas in Ankara, Turkey, and chemical control applications have some limitations. Entomopathogenic fungi have a potential for biological control of mites. In this study, an entomopathogenic fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus (Thom) Samson (Deuteromycota: Hyphomycetes), was first isolated from the mite cadavers on Japanese crab apple leaves and pathogenicity of the fungus was observed in different inoculum densities and relative humidities. The pathogen caused up to 98.22% mortality of the mite population. The effects of some fungicides on the entomopathogenic fungus were determined in in vitro studies. Carbendazim, penconazole and tebuconazole were the most effective fungicides on mycelial growth of P. lilacinus, with EC 50 values under 3µg ml −1 . In spore germination tests, captan, mancozeb, propineb were the most effective fungicides, followed by tebuconazole, penconazole, nuarimol and chlorothalonil. Sulphur could not inhibit the conidia germination totally at 5,000µg ml −1 . Copper oxychloride and fosetyl-al prevented conidia formation at concentrations above 1,000µg ml −1 .
