“…Because wine grapes depend on adequate leaf surface area for photosynthesis to provide sugars and non-structural carbohydrates vital to survival and fruit development ( 14 ), it is critical to understand the impacts of defoliation. As described by Pfeiffer ( 14 ), early season leaves are soft and delicate and photosynthesize sunlight to encourage shoot and cluster growth. Later in the season, during véraison (i.e., when fruit begins to change color), leaves become more tough and can tolerate more leaf feeding, and individual berries begin to become the main sink for sugars accumulated through photosynthesis ( 15 ).…”

Impact of Adult Popillia japonica (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Foliar Feeding Injury on Fruit Yield and Quality of a Temperate, Cold-Hardy Wine Grape, ‘Frontenac'

Popillia japonica (Newman), is a highly polyphagous, invasive species, first recorded in the U.S. in 1916, and detected in Minnesota in the late 1960s. Historically, research on this pest in the Midwest U.S. has focused primarily on ornamental and turf crops, with little attention placed on adult feeding damage to fruit crops. Recently, wine grape producers in the region noted substantial increases in defoliation from P. japonica feeding, confirming concerns for this perennial high value crop. To address these concerns, studies were conducted during the summers of 2020–2021 to understand the impact of P. japonica foliar feeding on the quality and yield of wine grapes. Trials utilized vines of the wine grape variety, ‘Frontenac.' In addition to open plots, whole vines were caged within fine mesh netting and infested with P. japonica at 0, 25, 50, and 100 beetles per meter-row of vine. Beetles used for infestations were collected from natural field populations of P. japonica and left to feed until grapes were ready for harvest. During harvest, data collection included leaf samples for obtaining average percent defoliation, cluster weights, and berry subsamples for soluble solid content, pH, titratable acidity, and phenolic compound measurements. Results from these studies demonstrated that as beetle population density and defoliation per m-row increases, at-harvest measurements of quality parameters are significantly and negatively affected (P < 0.05) when compared with uninfested vines. The negative impacts to fruit quality exhibited in these studies will be important in the development of future management strategies for P. japonica in ‘Frontenac.'

“…As of 1983, it was present on ornamental roses grown in Bedford, Qc, a locality near the Quebec/Vermont border [52]). Reported as a pest of New England vineyards [53], it has been present in vineyards of southern Quebec since 2010, its populations increasing ever since [54]. From 1920-1933, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) imported and released 49 species of natural enemies in Northeastern USA, including Istocheta aldrichi, a tachinid that parasitizes newly emerged adults [50].…”

In Quebec (Canada), viticulture has experienced steady growth in the last 35 years in terms of surfaces cultivated and value, although it is practiced in climatic conditions at the edge of what is considered a cool-climate area. This case study documents biodiversity studies conducted at the l’Orpailleur vineyard (Dunham, QC, Canada) from 1997 to 2021. In a first phase starting in 1997, the biodiversity of insecticide-free and insecticide-treated plots was determined for the taxa Scarabaeidae, Curculionidae, Chrysomelidae, Cicadellidae, Acari and Aranae. This step provided a baseline allowing to identify key arthropods. In a second phase starting in 2004, entomological issues were addressed on an ad hoc basis. In 2014, a third phase began with a perspective of sustainability and management of plant diversity in the vineyard to conserve natural enemies. Because of increased Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica-Scarabaeidae) populations and threats to vineyards, a biocontrol program based on the parasitoid Istocheta aldrichi (Tachinidae) was initiated. The unusually fast development of grapevines during the growing season, selection of flowering species, as well as selected arthropods associated with these flowering species, will be illustrated. Periodic update of protection programs will be required to address future challenges associated with climate change scenarios and world trade.

“…The red-headed flea beetle (Figure 1(7) (Systena frontalis-Chrysomelidae) can cause severe damage in young vine plantings from mid-July to early September. A number of coleopteran pests are seldom found in low numbers, notably the grape cane girdler (Ampeloglypter ampelopsis-Curculionidae), the grape cane gallmaker (Ampeloglypter sesostris-Curculionidae), the black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus-Curculionidae), and the rose chafer (Macrodactylus subspinosus-Scarabeidae) [33].…”

“…Native from North America, the grape rootworm (Fidia viticida-Chrysomelidae) was so far restricted to Eastern USA [33] and southern Ontario. In 2016, F. viticida adults were sampled in Laval, Qc, by beating virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) and riverbank grape (Vitis riparia) [48].…”

Sustainable Arthropod Management in Quebec Vineyards

In Quebec (Canada), viticulture is practiced at the fringe of what is known as a cool climate area. Quebec has a very recent history of viticultural entomology as the first artisanal permit for wine making was issued by the Quebec Government in 1985, and the first formal research project about arthropods associated with vineyards was initiated in 1997. The Quebec viticultural industry has consistently developed over ca. 35 years and, given the prospects of global warming, warmer abiotic conditions will allow to cultivate cultivars of better oenological value. Meanwhile, some invasive species that recently arrived in Quebec are causing concerns because they are threatening the sustainability of pest management programs. In this article, we will review of the evolution of entomological research in Quebec vineyards. We will then treat technology transfer activities that allowed to translate research results into protection programs. Finally, we will discuss new and coming entomological problems that are challenging the sustainability of pest management programs in Quebec vineyards.
