“…In New Zealand, this species was reported to destroy 30% of cocksfoot seed (Dactylis glomerata) (Doull, 1956), and later reported as the most common primary pest of brome grass (Bromus sp.) (Bejakovich et al, 1998). In Oregon, U.S.A., infestation of Bent Grass (Agrostis sp.)…”

Species of the genus Chirothrips Haliday breed and pupate only within grass florets. Each larva is restricted to a single floret, and adult body size is thus presumably related to floret size. Despite this, some Chirothrips species are distinguished only on states that are related to body size. The validity of some commonly recorded members of the C. manicatus species-group, including C. africanus and C. pallidicornis, is therefore considered questionable. Character states that have been used to define the genus Agrostothrips Hood are shown to be variable, and this genus is placed as a new synonym of Chirothrips. An identification key, based on illustrated structural differences, is provided to the Chirothrips known from Iran: C. aculeatus, C. atricorpus, C. kurdistanus, C. manicatus, C. meridionalis and C. molestus.

“…All macro-invertebrates were grouped into three main trophic groups based on their feeding habits (herbivores, detritivores and predators) for data analysis according to the following references (Petersen & Luxton 1982;Dindal 1990;Bejakovich et al 1998;Minor & Robertson 2006). Herbivores data were further divided into bronze beetles and other herbivores.…”

The population structure and dynamics of bronze beetle Eucolaspis spp and other soil macroinvertebrates were studied in eight organic apple orchards in Hawkes Bay during spring/summer 200708 Orchards with high bronze beetle population densities also had higher abundance of all types of soil macroinvertebrates than orchards with low bronze beetle populations Surfacedwelling generalist predators were more numerous (on average 536 versus 405 predators per trap) in orchards with low bronze beetle density than in orchards with high beetle density This result was mainly due to spider numbers in pitfall traps which were highest during January It may be that within orchards where surface dwelling spiders are most abundant these spiders may be predating upon newly emergent adult bronze beetles as they move from the soil to the apple foliage

“…Although it is a seed feeder, it also feeds on plant host stems, petioles, leaves and fruit (He & Wang 1999). It is a primary pest of forage brassicas (Eyles 1965;He et al 2003;Yang & Wang 2004) and many other cereal crops (Bejakovich et al 1998) in New Zealand. The damage is most obvious in seedling brassicas and 80 -90% damage has been reported on that crop in New Zealand (AgPest 2016; Speciality Seeds 2016).…”

Preferences of the wheat bug (Nysius huttoni) for particular growth stages of the potential trap crop, alyssum (Lobularia maritima)

The New Zealand endemic wheat bug, Nysius huttoni (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae), is a pest of brassica seedlings. However, it has a wide host range comprising almost all cultivated brassicas, cereals and many other cultivated crops, as well as weeds. The brassica alyssum (Lobularia maritima) is a potential trap crop of N. huttoni, having the potential to keep the bugs away from seedlings. Laboratory no-choice and choice tests evaluated the relative preference of N. huttoni for two major growth stages of alyssum – vegetative and flowering. In both bioassays, N. huttoni adults settled significantly more promptly on the flowering than on the vegetative stage. The same preference was evident for adult numbers settling. Survival was higher on the flowering (38%) than on the vegetative stage (28%), although this was not significant. The implications of these findings are important in the design of trap cropping protocols for N. huttoni management. Flowering alyssum in brassica fields can also potentially improve pest biological control and provide other ecosystem services that can contribute to mitigating diminished ecosystem functions in agriculture.
