Efficacy of Various Low Temperature and Exposure Time Combinations for Thaumatotibia leucotreta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) Larvae

Sean D. Moore et al.

Summary: A systems approach with pre and postharvest controls and measurements, postpacking inspection, and postharvest exposure to low temperatures was developed as a alternative to standalone quarantine disinfestation treatment for Thaumatotibia leucotreta in citrus fruit exported from South Africa. Trials evaluating different temperatures found that temperatures of 0-3 degrees C resulted in 100% mortality of the most cold-tolerant larval stages of T. leucotreta. Temperatures of 4-5 degrees C also had high mortality rates. The choice and control of cold treatment conditions can enhance the efficacy of the systems approach.

Consequences of Thermal Variation during Development and Transport on Flight and Low-Temperature Performance in False Codling Moth (Thaumatotibia leucotreta): Fine-Tuning Protocols for Improved Field Performance in a Sterile Insect Programme

Elizabeth J. Huisamen et al.

Summary: In this study, two experiments were conducted to investigate how developmental temperature and transport conditions affect the low-temperature performance and flight ability of false codling moth (FCM) adults. The results showed that fluctuating thermal regime (FTR) improved cold tolerance, flight performance, and egg-laying capacity with minimal costs. Additionally, transport conditions did not negatively impact the flight and low-temperature performance of FCM. These findings are important for optimizing conditions in an SIT program for FCM.

Risk assessment of insect pest expansion in alpine ecosystems under climate change

Chun-Jing Wang et al.

Summary: This study used species distribution modeling to predict the distribution probabilities of 58 insect pest species in Qinghai Province, China, and found that climate change could lead to the expansion of insect pest in alpine ecosystems. However, the presence of insect pest species may not necessarily correspond to damage occurrence. Significant positive relationships between distribution probability and damage occurrence were found for some of the examined insect pest species.

Biological Control of a Phytosanitary Pest (Thaumatotibia leucotreta): A Case Study

Sean D. Moore

Summary: Thaumatotibia leucotreta, known as the false codling moth, is a pest of citrus and other crops in sub-Saharan Africa, with phytosanitary status for most markets due to South Africa's citrus exports. While some markets require standalone postharvest disinfestation treatment for T. leucotreta, the European Union accepts a systems approach with three measures and multiple components. Effective preharvest control measures are crucial, especially where standalone postharvest disinfestation is not applied. Using biological control tools like parasitoids and predators can effectively control T. leucotreta to meet phytosanitary market requirements, improving safety and compliance with chemical residue restrictions.

The Impact of COVID-19 on Horticulture: Critical Issues and Opportunities Derived from an Unexpected Occurrence

Roberta Bulgari et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the global horticulture industry and people's habits, leading to changes in food and ornamental plant production chains, shortages of goods, lack of labor, and reduced demand for certain products. New approaches to food production and the reconnection between farmers and consumers are emerging, as well as a growing recognition of the importance of leisure activities related to plants and access to nature.
