Abstract
Systena frontalis (Fabricius) is a serious pest in containerized ornamental nurseries affecting >50 plant species, including panicled hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata Siebold) in the eastern USA. The drench application of cyclaniliprole has proven effective in reducing the emergence of adult S. frontalis from infested containers; however, the effects of winter application and lower rates of cyclaniliprole are poorly understood. Thus, the objectives of this study were to determine the effects of 1) single and repeated drench application of cyclaniliprole in the winter and 2) reduced label rates of cyclaniliprole on the adult S. frontalis emergence and feeding damage in the containerized panicled hydrangea. In the winter of 2023 and 2024, cyclaniliprole was drenched in February, March, and April as a single and repeated application. Three repeated drench applications of cyclaniliprole reduced the emergence of adult S. frontalis by 94–100 % and feeding damage compared to nontreated plants. The emerging adults and feeding damage during February, March, or April were similar to repeated applications, suggesting that a single drench of cyclaniliprole during the winter can effectively reduce adult emergence and is comparable to repeated applications. In addition, results showed that 0.25 × and 0.5 × rates of maximum label rate of cyclaniliprole applied as a drench did not consistently reduce adult S. frontalis emergence and feeding damage on panicled hydrangea as compared to the maximum label rate of cyclaniliprole. Thus, the maximum label rate of cyclaniliprole is needed to manage S. frontalis in ornamental nurseries.
期刊介绍:
The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics:
-Abiotic damage-
Agronomic control methods-
Assessment of pest and disease damage-
Molecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseases-
Biological control-
Biorational pesticides-
Control of animal pests of world crops-
Control of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms-
Control of weeds and integrated management-
Economic considerations-
Effects of plant growth regulators-
Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use-
Environmental effects of pesticides-
Epidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to control-
GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications-
Importance and control of postharvest crop losses-
Integrated control-
Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies-
Invasive species as they relate to implications for crop protection-
Pesticide application methods-
Pest management-
Phytobiomes for pest and disease control-
Resistance management-
Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
