“…However, he also found that young stems on which ACM had fed shrivelled up and died, indicating the translocation of salivary enzymes along the stolon. The present study detected no differences in stolon length associated with PM feeding, and elsewhere PM feeding damage has been shown to be localised to a small area of plant tissue associated with the stylet lesion (Uyemoto et al 1986;Michailides et al 1987;Schroeder & Clifford 1996). Generally, the younger the buds are when they are attacked, the greater will be the effect on seed yield, and the higher the number of undamaged inflorescences per unit area the higher the total seed yield (Fig.…”

Potato mirid, Calocoris norvegicus, commonly occurs in white clover, Trifolium repens, crops in Canterbury, New Zealand. Its potential to reduce seed yield by feeding injury was investigated in field cage plots in a cv. Huia white clover seed crop. Third to fifth instar nymphs were released at five intensities ranging from 0 to 2 mirids per 5 stolons. Plant growth and inflorescence production were determined by regular measurements of 15-20 tagged stolons per cage. Seed was harvested in late summer and dressed into first and second quality seed for which thousand seed weights were recorded. No differences between plant growth and flowering pattern were observed between treatments, but inflorescence numbers were quadratically reduced as mirid numbers increased. When total plot flowering and yield components were compared, a significant negative quadratic relationship between total inflorescences and first quality seed yield with increasing mirid intensity was demonstrated. For second quality seed yield a negative linear relationship was observed. A positive linear relationship between undamaged inflorescences and total yield per plot was also

“…Outbreaks of epicarp lesion symptoms in pistachio fruit in California were found to result from feeding puncture wounds by several bugs, including PM (Uyemotoetal. 1986;Michailides et al 1987). The injury caused from injected feeding enzymes was apparently localised to the feeding site.…”

“…In California, C. hilaris is one of a group of hemipteran species that cause direct crop damage to pistachio (Bolkan et al 1984, Rice et al 1985, an exotic crop that has increased greatly in crop acreage and value since the 1980s (Anonymous 2010). When hemipteran damage to pistachio nuts was Þrst reported, species were often simply grouped as small bugs (Miridae and Rhopalidae) and big bugs (Pentatomidae and Coreidae) (Rice et al 1985, Michailides et al 1987, based not only on their physical size but on their seasonal occurrence and type of crop damage. Although small bugs are often abundant and can cause damage early in the season (Purcell and Welter 1990), they pose little threat after shell hardening (Purcell and Welter 1991).…”

“…Although small bugs are often abundant and can cause damage early in the season (Purcell and Welter 1990), they pose little threat after shell hardening (Purcell and Welter 1991). Large bugs, including C. hilaris, have relatively larger and stronger mouthparts and, for this reason, can continue to penetrate the shell and damage kernels later into the season as shell hardening increases (Michailides et al 1987, Daane et al 2005.…”

Life history parameters were established under controlled laboratory conditions for the green stink bug, Chinavia hilaris (Say) (= Acrosternum hilare), to improve pest control in pistachios in California. Parameters measured and calculated included survival and development at seven constant temperatures (ranging from 15 to 35 degrees C), development time, upper and lower development thresholds, thermal constants, fecundity, generation time, net reproductive rate, and intrinsic rate of increase. C. hilaris did not complete development at 15 and 35 degrees C. Within the range of 20-27.5 degrees C, development time decreased linearly with temperature; it increased again at 30 degrees C. The lower threshold was calculated by linear methods to be 12.3 degrees C, and the thermal constant was calculated to be 588 degree days. Fastest development was recorded at 27.5 degrees C, whereas greatest survival was observed at 22.5 degrees C. At 27.5 degrees C, mean fecundity was 53.5 eggs per female, mean generation time was 74.4 d, net reproductive rate was 20.09, and intrinsic rate of increase was 0.04. Use of a nonlinear model yielded estimates of 13.2, 28.4, and 33.4 degrees C, for the lower threshold, optimum temperature, and upper threshold, respectively. Results were compared with similar studies and interpreted in the light of pest management needs in pistachio. Increased emphasis on monitoring and management ofoverwintering sites and early-season migration are recommended.

“…This damage is due to the induction of epicarp lesions on young fruits, which may lead to fruit desiccation and fruit abortion. In addition to this species, Michailides et al (1987) showed that different mirid species that also cause epicarp lesions may infest the trees by sequential invasions during the season.…”

Studies on the damage potential of Closterotomus (=Calocoris) trivialis and Aphanosoma italicum (Hemiptera: Miridae) on citrus

This study aimed to investigate the damage potential of two hemipteran species that are commonly recorded in citrus orchards of the eastern Mediterranean region. These were Closterotomus trivialis Costa and Aphanosoma italicum Costa (Hemiptera: Miridae). Shoots on sweet orange trees were enclosed in muslin cages into each of which eight nymphs or eight adults were introduced not only in the early development of the buds but also in the different stages of the flowering period in 2008 (i.e., 6 and 19 March, 10 April and 2 May). In the experiments, adults of C. trivialis, and nymphs and adults of A. italicum were used. According to the results, in a few cases these insects caused a significant reduction in the number of buds or flowers and fruits dropped in comparison to the controls. However, the number of fruits that finally remained on the trees was not significantly affected. Therefore, the damage potential of these mirids on the fruit production of citrus was not shown to be significant under our experimental conditions.
