“…Resistance to BRV and to the gall mite vector was introduced into the host plant with positive implications for plant health (Jones 2000). Kahu et al (2009) evaluated a number of blackcurrant cultivars in terms of productivity and berry quality, and found that some of them exhibited some resistance to the C. ribis. Brennan et al (2009) developed a PCR-based marker potentially useful for the identification of mite-resistant germplasm.…”

The superfamily of the Eriophyoidea is a large and diverse group of mites, including a number of species of economic importance, mainly on perennial plants in agriculture and forestry. This review focuses on the economic importance and pest status of this group of mites, with emphasis on some genera. The available acaricide portfolio is reviewed and the influence of EU legislation policy on the sustainable control of Eriophyoidea is investigated. Possible generic guidelines for sustainable control and resistance management with special reference to the European situation are discussed. Recent advances in biological and integrated control of eriophyid mite pests and the implementation of these techniques in crops are explored. Furthermore, the relevance of studies on behaviour, epidemiology and diagnostics in general terms and as a strategic necessity is pointed out.

“…According to our results, the genotypes 'Asker', 'Ben Lomond', and 'Pamyati Vavilova' can be recommended for organic production and processing as the fruit weight did not decrease significantly and the first two genotypes had high AsA concentration as well. Furthermore, 'Pamyati Vavilova' has proven to be suitable for organic cultivation systems in previous trials (Kahu et al, 2009). The production of dessert blackcurrants demands large fruits and an acceptable taste.…”

“…Earlier studies in Poland and Estonia have found that organically cultivated berries contain more AsA compared to conventional ones (Kazimirmiercak et al, 2008;Kahu et al, 2009), but according to the results of Finnish researchers, the biochemical quality of organically grown blackcurrant fruits does not differ from those grown conventionally (Anttonen and Karjalainen, 2006). In the present study, fruit weight, and soluble solid, sugar, organic acid and AsA concentration of eight blackcurrant genotypes grown in organic and conventional cultivation systems in South-Estonia were determined in 2011 and 2012.…”

“…However, it is possible to target them during their migration periods (Cross & Ridout 2001). As the occurrence and infestation level of blackcurrant buds by the pest depends on cultivar (Łabanowska & Pluta 2010;Gwozdecki 2000;Kahu et al 2009), it is envisaged that the migration period may also be dependent on the currant cultivar (Gajek et al 1996;Gajek 1997;Rubauskis et al 2006). Therefore, the time to control big bud mite should take into account the migration period deadlines on a specific cultivar (Cross & Ridout 2001;Apenite et al 2012;Mitchell et al 2011).…”

The blackcurrant gall mite (Cecidophyopsis ribis) is the most important pest of blackcurrant crops. Over recent years withdrawal from plant protection programmes of chemical products (endosulfan and amitraz) used for the control of this pest in Poland, has led to an observed increase in population numbers. In 2013, fenpiroxymate (Ortus 05 SC) became registered for control of this pest. It is deemed best that chemical protection should be used during the migration period; when big gall mites emerge from buds in search of new buds. The studies were carried out in a plantation of blackcurrants during 2011-2013. The assessment of migration of the blackcurrant gall mite was carried out on the cultivars 'Ben Hope', 'Ben Alde'r, 'Ojeby'n and 'Ruben'. Every year, from selected cultivars buds were collected. They were then placed on blackcurrant leaves within Petri dishes. After one, three and five days of placing buds on the leaves, the estimated number of eriophyid mites on the leaves was calculated. The data has shown a very useful method for monitoring blackcurrant gall mite, which can be used in calculating the treatment dates for this pest. Also, the data has shown that differences in the periods of migration of the mite are dependent on the cultivar and time of flowering. Among the cultivars observed the least susceptible to colonization by the blackcurrant gall mite was a Polish cultivar 'Ruben', while the most susceptible cultivar was 'Ben Hope'.
