“…Similarly, olive moths such as Prays oleae are also of growing concern (Ait Mansour et al, 2017), as the gravity of pest attack becomes difficult to foresee with the stronger climatic fluctuations, especially in the coastal areas of Morocco. Other Lepidopteran pests that are persistently advancing are Euzophera bigella (quince month), which was noticed on Greek olive trees for the first time in 2011 (Simoglou et al, 2012), and Palpita vitrealis (Jasmine moth, Figure 1) to which especially younger olive trees in high-density olive cultivation areas are vulnerable (Chaouche et al, 2019). Not only Lepidopteran pests are on the rise, but also Diptera, especially Dasineura oleae (olive leaf gall midge).…”

Olive trees (Olea europaea L.) are deeply interwoven with the past, present and future of Mediterranean civilizations, both as essential economical as well as cultural valuables. Olive horticulture constitutes one of the primary agroecosystems in the Mediterranean regions of today. Being inhabitant of ecological niches, Olea europaea is prone to a peculiar vulnerability towards climatic and socioeconomical transformations that are briskly reshaping regional and global agroecosystems. Because of climatic changes and the biosafety risks of global agricultural trades, olive plants are highly susceptible to newly emerging diseases and pests, and the traditional olive horticultural crop protection practices are under scrutiny towards reducing their ecological impact. Hence there is an eminent demand for a more nature-positive olive tree crop management. Recent innovations in precision agriculture are raising the prospect for innovative crop protection methods that may provide olive farmers the required agility to respond to present and future agricultural challenges. For instance, endo-therapy, which is the systemic delivery of active ingredients via trunk injection, is a technology that holds promise of a true step-change in sustainable olive crop management. Endo-therapy allows reaching vascular diseases inaccessible to foliar treatments and delivers active ingredients in a precise manner with no risks of off-target drifts. Similarly, progresses in biological precision delivery using controlled release of active ingredients based on innovative formulation technologies are showing an exciting potential for more targeted and sustainable crop protection solutions. This review summarizes the latest innovations on both physical and biological precision deliveries in the realm of olive arboriculture in the Mediterranean regions and gives an outlook how these technologies may help orchestrating innovative olive culture practices soon.

“…Palpita vitrealis (= P. unionalis ) (Rossi) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), also known as the jasmine moth, is an important pest of young olive plantations in several Mediterranean regions (e.g., Italy, Algeria) [ 101 , 102 ]. It feeds on new buds and leaflets causing shoot malformation and alteration of the vegetative structure [ 101 , 103 ]. Nowadays, the intensive (400–600 trees/ha) and the super-intensive (1600–2000 trees/ha) methods of olive growing are substituting for traditional systems in several Italian regions, causing an increase in P. vitrealis infestation number and intensity [ 103 , 104 ].…”

“…Even if is still unknown how climate change is influencing P. vitrealis life cycle, elevated temperatures promote high population density in the Mediterranean, especially in the autumn. Furthermore, temperature is the major climatic parameter influencing the duration of the P. vitrealis pupal stage [ 101 ].…”

Evidence of the impact of climate change on natural and agroecosystems is nowadays established worldwide, especially in the Mediterranean Basin, an area known to be very susceptible to heatwaves and drought. Olea europaea is one of the main income sources for the Mediterranean agroeconomy, and it is considered a sensitive indicator of the climate change degree because of the tight relationship between its biology and temperature trend. Despite the economic importance of the olive, few studies are nowadays available concerning the consequences that global heating may have on its major pests. Among the climatic parameters, temperature is the key one influencing the relation between the olive tree and its most threatening parasites, including Bactrocera oleae and Prays oleae. Therefore, several prediction models are based on this climatic parameter (e.g., cumulative degree day models). Even if the use of models could be a promising tool to improve pest control strategies and to safeguard the Mediterranean olive patrimony, they are not currently available for most O. europaea pests, and they have to be used considering their limits. This work stresses the lack of knowledge about the biology and the ethology of olive pests under a climate change scenario, inviting the scientific community to focus on the topic.
