Surveys were conducted in the ornamental industry in 2020 and 2021 and the pecan industry in 2020 because clientele perspective on the extent of damage, phenology, monitoring, management, and loss related to the ambrosia beetle was unclear. Of 35 and 40 ornamental industry respondents, 68% and 82% indicated problems with this pest in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Of 66 pecan industry respondents, 52% reported beetle problems in 2020. About 85% of ornamental and 58% of pecan respondents indicated that 1–10 trees were attacked by ambrosia beetles and 1–30 or more trees were culled annually. The beetle problem persists throughout the growing season but appears greater during the spring than in other periods. About 73% of respondents indicated that current monitoring tools helped them with management decisions; however, a proportion did not use recommended monitoring tools but instead relied on visual signs to determine attacks on trees. In the 2020 surveys, only 37% of ornamental respondents and 43% of the pecan respondents used insecticide sprays, whereas in the 2021 survey, 71% of the ornamental clientele (mostly nurseries) sprayed pyrethroid insecticides for ambrosia beetle management.

Therefore, in this study, the bioactivity of A. vulgaris essential oil and its chemical constituents, eugenol and terpinen-4-ol, against T. castaneum were determined by contact, fumigant, and repellent bioassays. Analysis of contact and fumigant bioassays showed that A. vulgaris essential oil, eugenol, and terpinen-4-ol have contact and fumigant toxicities against T. castaneum, of which terpinen-4-ol has a strong killing effect on larvae and adults, suggesting that terpinen-4-ol may be the main active component of A. vulgaris essential oil in contact and fumigant effects. Additionally, A. vulgaris essential oil and eugenol have higher repellent activity against T. castaneum larvae and adults, whereas the repellent activity of terpinen-4-ol is low, indicating that the main component of A. vulgaris essential oil in repellence may be eugenol. These results further provide relevant theoretical basis for the development of plant essential oil pesticides.","PeriodicalId":15765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entomological Science","volume":"58 1","pages":"355 - 369"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44215466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adults feed on plant leaves, which reduces salability of nursery-grown plants. There are limited options available to protect plants from S. frontalis adult feeding damage, and foliar insecticide applications are labor intensive. Systemic insecticides applied to the growing medium may protect plants from S. frontalis adult feeding. Consequently, in 2021 and 2022, we conducted two laboratory and two greenhouse experiments to determine if the systemic insecticides thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, cyantraniliprole, acephate, imidacloprid, and cyfluthrin + imidalcoprid protect plants from feeding by field-collected populations of S. frontalis adults. In the laboratory experiments, growing medium containing Itea plants was treated with the aforementioned systemic insecticides. Seven and 25 d after the treatments were applied, leaves were collected and placed into Petri dishes with a single S. frontalis adult. In the greenhouse experiments, Itea plants were placed into observation cages. Eight S. frontalis adults were released into each cage with an Itea plant. In the laboratory experiments, treatments associated with thiamethoxam and dinotefuran resulted in 100% mortality of S. frontalis adults after 72 h. In the greenhouse experiments, thiamethoxam, dinotefuran, and acephate protected plants from S. frontalis adult feeding 7 d after applying the systemic insecticide treatments. Therefore, systemic insecticides can mitigate feeding damage caused by S. frontalis adults on nursery-grown plants.","PeriodicalId":15765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entomological Science","volume":"58 1","pages":"294 - 306"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45588980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unlike most Drosophila species, it tends to infest healthy, intact ripe fruit, as opposed to rotting or overripe fruit (Mitsui et al. 2006, Popul. Ecol. 48:233–237; Asplen et al. 2015, J. Pest Sci. 88:469–494). Spotted-winged drosophila adults are typically detected in the field using baited traps. This is useful in helping growers decide when to apply insecticides (Ebbenga et al. 2022, J. Entomol. Sci. 57: 516–529), but methods are also needed to estimate actual fruit infestation levels. Spectral imaging of fruit may provide a nondestructive alternative to extraction of larvae and could provide information on the infestation status of a single fruit. Such imaging has been tested for insect pests other than D. suzukii. For example, Peshlov et al. (2009, J. Near Infrared Spectrosc. 17:203–212) used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to detect infestation of wild blueberries (Vaccinium) by blueberry maggot, Rhagoletis mendax Curran (Diptera: Tephritidae). By measuring spectra of a live larva and subtracting it from an infested blueberry, they demonstrated that the NIR signal they recorded was from a larva and ‘‘associated chemical changes in the blueberries.’’ Detectable differences between infested blueberry and larvae occurred between approximately 750 and 1300 nm, with a small differential signal at 600 nm. Tsuta et al. (2006, Food Sci. Technol. Res. 12:96–100) also used spectroscopy to discriminate between blueberry fruit and ‘‘foreign substances.’’ They measured the spectra of various foreign substances, including worms, separately from the fruit. They detected a difference in the second derivative of absorbance between worms and berries between approximately 625 and 675 nm.","PeriodicalId":15765,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Entomological Science","volume":"58 1","pages":"370 - 374"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47270601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It binds directly to its methoprene-tolerant receptor and recruits a heterodimer partner to form the JH–receptor complex that then activates a JH-inducible gene known as the Krüppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1). There is evidence that this gene is a downstream factor mediating both physiological and biochemical processes; however, the functional mechanism of Kr-h1 is largely unknown. Using the economically important rice (Oryza sativa L.) pest Chilo suppressalis (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) as a model, we used a combination of RNA interference (RNAi), high-throughput RNA sequencing, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to identify candidate transcription factor (TF) genes that are regulated by Kr-h1. RNAi knockdown of Krh1 identified the Zinc finger proteins, ZBTB, THAP, PAX, MYB, HSF, Homeobox, HMG, CSD, basic helix-loop-helix, STAT, RHD, and MBD families as regulated by Kr-h1. RT-qPCR confirmed the transcription levels of these putative TFs and indicated that knockdown of Kr-h1 can induce or suppress the expression of these proteins in C. suppressalis.
