Design and validation of biological control strategies for major berry pests
FY 2022-23 · 2022-07-01
Summary
This project aims to reduce the use of insecticides/acaricides in the company's small fruit crops. The project will provide improved control of two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) in raspberry and blackberry, tarsonemus (Phytonemus palludus) in strawberry, midge (Dasineura oxycoccana) in highbush blueberry and tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris) in strawberry. Reducing pest pressure on crops is an essential component of organic production. To achieve these goals, different control methods will be evaluated for each of the predators and crops.

Description
This project aims to reduce the use of insecticides/acaricides in the company's small fruit crops. The project will provide improved control of two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) in raspberry and blackberry, tarsonemus (Phytonemus palludus) in strawberry, midge (Dasineura oxycoccana) in highbush blueberry and tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris) in strawberry.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à réduire l’emploi d’insecticides/acaricides dans les cultures de petits fruits de l'entreprise. Le projet permettra un meilleur contrôle du tétranyque à deux points (Tetranychus urticae) du framboisier et du murier, du tarsonème (Phytonemus palludus) du fraisier, de la cécidomyie (Dasineura oxycoccana) du bleuet en corymbe et de la punaise terne (Lygus lineolaris) dans les fraisiers. La réduction de la pression des ravageurs sur les cultures est une composante essentielle à la production biologique. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, différentes méthodes de contrôle seront évaluées pour chacun des prédateurs et chacune des cultures.
