This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) employs both chemical and non-chemical strategies. In both cases, foundational research is required and necessary to create an effective management tool. This dissertation explores the development of an alternative, non-chemical management tool for pear psylla (Cacopsylla pyricola) exploiting their vibrational communication. The first chapter reviews pear psylla biology and history as well as the study of vibrational communication, most recently coined as Biotremology. In the first manuscript, I characterized the mating songs of male and female pear psylla adults and assessed whether temperature and presence of conspecific individuals altered the male signal characteristics. I show that some song traits are affected by temperature while some are not. Further, that experience with the opposite sex increases the likelihood of males producing a vibrational mating song. The second manuscript explores three vibrational delivery methods to determine the efficacy of mating disruption (MD) in pear psylla employing the two MD hypotheses: competitive versus noncompetitive MD. My results showed that white noise (noncompetitive MD) was effective in reducing mating rates in pear psylla, but only when played directly to the plant substrate. Male song playback (competitive MD) was more effective than the other types of playback when going through the air using speakers. This suggests that we may be able to employ both types of mating disruption through different delivery methods. In the third manuscript, I set out to test vibrational playbacks as an enhancement to traps for monitoring and as a tool to disrupt mating in pear psylla in an orchard setting. The results showed that vibrational playback enhanced sticky card trap catch and was female-biased. Vibrational playback was more effective at reducing offspring when using white noise as vibrational playback, especially in the Anjou pear variety. The results from these experiments will contribute to the body of knowledge and tools for pear psylla IPM and as a basis for developing a similar tool for other pests that use vibrational communication.

Book excerpt: Pear psylla (Cacopsylla pyricola [Foerster] [Hemiptera: Psyllidae]) is an important pest of pear in Washington. Honeydew produced by pear psylla causes fruit russet, and serious infestations can stunt and defoliate trees. Pear psylla likely arrived in the United States along with shipments of pear nursery stock from western Europe. It was first found in Connecticut in 1832 and spread to Washington State by 1939. Within a few years it became a serious pest throughout all pear growing areas in the Pacific Northwest.

Book excerpt: This book, written by a team of experts on the Asian citrus psyllid, gathers together everything currently known about the biology and ecology of this important pest species, examines the transmission and acquisition processes of the pathogen, and looks at current management practices and their effectiveness. The potential for new, innovative management techniques are also described, along with the economic implications of managing this rapidly establishing disease.

Download or read book Advances in Insect Control and Resistance Management written by A. Rami Horowitz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-26 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers advanced concepts and creative ideas with regard to insect biorational control and insecticide resistance management. Some chapters present and summarize general strategies or tactics for managing insect pests such as the principles of IPM in various crop systems and biorational control of insect pests, advances in organic farming, alternative strategies for controlling orchard and field-crop pests. Other chapters cover alternative methods for controlling pests such as disruption of insect reproductive systems and utilization of semiochemicals and diatomaceous earth formulations, and developing bioacoustic methods for mating disruption. Another part is devoted to insecticide resistance: mechanisms and novel approaches for managing insect resistance in agriculture and in public health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biotremology is a new and emerging discipline in biological sciences that covers all aspects of behavior associated with substrate-borne mechanical waves. This volume provides state-of-the-art reviews and technical contributions from leading experts and invited younger researchers on topics from signal production and transmission to perception in its ecological context. Reviews about the knowledge of well-studied groups are complemented with perspectives on the study of less-explored groups or contexts. Special attention is given to practical issues in measuring substrate-borne vibrations as well as to applied biotremology. The book appeals to all those interested in communication and vibrational behavior.
