Harnessing the aphid life cycle to reduce insecticide reliance in apple and peach orchards. A review

Abstract: Apple and peach orchards are chemicalintensive systems, and aphids are one of their major pests. Aphids alter fruiting and shoot development, and they can spread viruses. Decades of insecticide use have developed aphid resistance, which calls on research to provide alternatives to chemicals for pest management. Here, we review the literature to identify, for each stage of the aphid life cycle, existing alternatives based on either top-down (i.e. aphid predation or parasitism) or bottom up (i.e. increase of hos… Show more

“…The tripartite interactions among plants, insect vectors, and pathogens take place within diverse communities, and the complex outcomes of these interactions can have broad implications for the management of agricultural systems. First, the ability to predict how deficit irrigation affects plant productivity, insect vectors, and the associated vector-borne pathogens will allow for effective exploitation of water as a means to suppress vectors and pathogens (Daane and Williams, 2003;Rousselin et al, 2017). Secondly, understanding the impact of drought stress on direct and indirect plant defenses will allow for predictions of the likelihood of pest outbreaks and proper remediation plans that incorporate irrigation as one of the pest management tactics.…”

“…Peach and apple orchards are intensively treated by insecticides for managing the insect pests. Aphids have developed resistance against commonly used pesticides (Rousselin et al 2017). There are more than 700 fungus and nematode species which attack insect pests (Ak 2019;El Husseini 2019a;Javed et al 2019;Tuncer et al 2019).…”

“…Thus, alternative methods have to be mobilized. Among these, biological control methods that aim to regulate the aphid populations by predation or parasitism are well documented . They intend to foster the populations of natural enemies by preserving the existing populations in the orchard vicinity or by releasing biocontrol agents.…”
