“…Flatheaded appletree borer has a preference for ovipositing on the lower trunk of host trees . The FHAB height preference observation led to the proposal that incorporating a plant‐related barrier to FHAB access around the base of tree trunks could protect nursery trees from attack.…”

“…In this two‐year trial, half the labeled high rate of imidacloprid resulted in 100% control in the non‐herbicide‐weedy treatment, but had a 15% loss in the herbicide treatment during that same period (Oliver JB et al ., unpublished). Based on the FHAB preference for depositing eggs near the base of the tree, the authors hypothesized that the weeds provided protection from egg‐laying by FHAB.…”

BACKGROUND: The flatheaded appletree borer (Chrysobothris femorata Olivier) (FHAB) is a native pest of fruit, shade and nut trees throughout the United States. Use of cover crops is an effective pest management tool for some key insect pests in vegetable and cereal production systems, but its impact in woody ornamental production systems has not been investigated. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a winter cover crop for management of FHAB in nursery production. Red maple trees (Acer rubrum L.) grown under four treatment regimes (cover crop, cover crop + insecticide, bare row and bare row + insecticide) were evaluated for damage by FHAB and impact on tree growth parameters. RESULTS:The cover crop reduced FHAB damage, with results equivalent to standard imidacloprid treatments. The reduction in FHAB attacks in cover crop treatments may be due to microclimate changes at preferred oviposition sites, trunk camouflage or interference with access to oviposition sites. Tree growth was reduced in the cover crop treatments due to competition for resources. CONCLUSION: Physical blockage of oviposition sites by cover crops and subsequent microclimate changes protected against FHAB damage. Therefore, cover crops can be an alternative to chemical insecticides.

“…Similar field infestation percentages have been observed in other southeastern U.S. nurseries (Potter et al 1988;Allen & Alverson 1994;Coyle et al 2005). Given the broad host plant range of C. femorata, as well as other beetles within the C. femorata species group (Solomon 1985;Wellso & Manley 2007;Nelson et al 2008;Hansen 2010;Hansen et al 2012;Paiero et al 2012;Hansen et al in press), large numbers of tree species and cultivars are under significant risk if buprestid species are misidentified, are not monitored properly, or if management efforts are timed poorly (Troxclair 2005;Seagraves et al 2012;.…”

Cerceris fumipennis Say is a solitary, ground-nesting wasp that preys exclusively on beetles in the family Buprestidae, including the invasive insect pest, emerald ash borer (Agrilusplanipennis Fairmaire). Understanding patterns of C.fumipennis prey collection over time may improve use of the wasp as a biosurveillance tool for locating pest Buprestidae of economic concern. Here, we report on variation in prey capture by C.fumipennis at two sites in North Carolina over a 4-yr period. In total, 466 beetles were collected from the wasps from 2010 to 2013; these comprise 35 species, four new state records, six new prey records, and three native pests. Changes in prey capture from year to year at both sites suggest the importance of continued biosurveillance at sites with known wasp aggregations as emerald ash borer and other invasive pests spread into and throughout North Carolina.

“…A recent investigation of cultivar resistance indicated that ÔRed SunsetÕ red maples were most susceptible to potato leafhoppers and least sus-ceptible to maple spider mites (Seagraves et al 2013). In the same study, ÔAutumn BlazeÕ freeman maples were found to be most resistant to potato leafhopper and most susceptible to maple spider mites during midsummer.…”

Insecticides used against potato leafhopper, Empoasca fabae (Harris) (Homoptera: Cicadellidae), have been reported to cause problems with maple spider mite, Oligonychus aceris (Shimer) (Acarina: Tetranychidae), on nursery-grown 'Red Sunset' red maple and 'Autumn Blaze' Freeman maple. To test this, we conducted two experiments on field-grown trees in nurseries. In the first, the effects of early-season pesticide applications were examined during 2009. The second experiment was conducted in 2010 to compare effects of using threshold levels of one, three, or six leafhoppers per branch to time applications. Pesticide applications reduced abundance and damage by leafhoppers in both cultivars, but increased populations of O. aceris on Autumn Blaze during 2009. In contrast, on Red Sunset, populations of O. aceris did not increase after insecticide applications. In 2010, insecticide applications did not increase abundance of O. aceris on Autumn Blaze because use of treatment thresholds to manage leafhoppers greatly reduced numbers of trees requiring treatment for leafhoppers. Two phytoseiid mites, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) and Typhlodromus caudiglans (Schuster), and one stigmaeid, Zetzellia mali (Ewing), were identified as the principal predators of O. aceris on maple leaves. Insecticide applications had no significant effects on the total abundance of predatory mites on either Red Sunset or Autumn Blaze maples in 2009 or 2010. However, populations of predator Z. mali were higher during both years on Red Sunset than on Autumn Blaze. These results suggest that both early-season pesticide use and cultivar can affect the likelihood of secondary outbreaks of spider mites on maples.

Relative resistance or susceptibility of maple (Acer) species, hybrids and cultivars to six arthropod pests of production nurseries

Abstract: The results should help growers to focus pest management efforts on those plantings at greatest risk from particular pests, and to choose cultivars requiring fewer insecticide inputs to produce a quality tree.
