Abstract The plum curculio, Conotrachelus nenuphar Herbst (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an insect native to the Americas that is a serious pest of stone and pome fruits in the United States and Canada. Failure to effectively manage this insect may result in up to 85% damaged fruit at harvest, as well as early season fruit abortion. Conotrachelus nenuphar is oligophagous, feeding and ovipositing on many Rosaceous plants, including apple, peach, plum, cherry, quince, and pear. Additionally, C. nenuphar in limited geographic ranges utilizes alternate hosts such as highbush blueberry (Ericaceae) and Muscadine grape (Vitaceae). Despite its long history as a pest, integrated pest management (IPM) lags behind similarly damaging native fruit pests. Although significant progress has been made on the identification of attractive lures for monitoring C. nenuphar adults, development of behaviorally based management strategies, and biological control with entomopathogenic nematodes, growers continue to rely heavily on top-down chemical inputs to manage this pest. Most of the research to date comes from studies done in apples where alternative management practices for C. nenuphar have, to some extent, been adopted; however, less IPM-based information is available for other susceptible crops. In this review, we summarize the history, biology, ecology, behavior, and control of C. nenuphar and future directions for IPM research.

Average Measure

Although damage evaluation is an important and frequent exercise in economic entomology, there are no quantitative studies on inter-rater agreement of experts. In this experiment conducted during the 50th New York, New England and Canadian Pest Management Conference, four teams of experts independently estimated the damage on 200 apples at harvest. The participants identified 22 types of damage caused by insects, 8 by diseases, and 8 related to other causes. For each type of damage an average measure of agreement was calculated. The lowest average agreements were found in plum curculio (Conotrachelus nenuphar) [Coleoptera : Curculionidae] damage (71.8%), tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris) [Hemiptera : Miridae] damage (83.2%), and by early lepidoptera damage (87.1%). The usefulness of inter-rater agreement experiments is discussed in the context of many situations pertaining to crop protection.

Abstract The plum curculio, C. nenuphar, is native to North America and restricted to east of the Rocky Mountains. Although it feeds on several wild host plants and several species of cultivated pome and stone fruit, C. nenuphar has not extended its geographical range over the years. Given its life-cycle (larvae complete their development and diapause in the soil), it is not likely to be a global invasive species. It can be considered as a local invader, as it will invade any new orchard plant (apple: Malus; plum: Prunus; peach: Prunus) and thereby become a serious pest of these agricultural habitats.

Local Weather

In the spring of 1997, tree canopy entry behaviors of adult plum curculios, Conotrachelus nenuphar (Herbst), were estimated by three types of traps examined five times each day from 24 May (bloom) until 15 June in an unmanaged apple orchard. In addition, presence of plum curculios in the canopy, ovipositional injury to fruit, and local weather conditions (temperature, barometric pressure, relative humidity, and wind speed) were monitored. The principal means of entry into apple trees by plum curculios appeared to be direct flights from outside the canopy into the canopy. However, the major means of tree entry on days when large amounts of oviposition occurred appeared to be crawling up or flying onto the trunk. Ovipositional injury to fruit was correlated with high temperature and low barometric pressure. The greatest amount of tree entry occurred between 1800 and 2100h. The strongest correlation found between daily trap captures and daily occurrence of injury was between captures by flight interception traps placed just outside the canopy and injury occurring the following day. Based on this, captures by flight interception traps just outside the canopies of fruit trees may have potential for predicting episodes of plum curculio damage to fruit.
