Cone Damage

Abstract Twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) is a cosmopolitan pest of numerous plants, including hop (Humulus lupulus L.). The most costly damage from the pest on hop results from infestation of cones, which are the harvested product, which can render crops unsalable if cones become discolored. We analyzed 14 yr of historical data from 312 individual experimental plots in western Oregon to identify risk factors associated with visual damage to hop cones from T. urticae. Logistic regression models were fit to estimate the probability of cone damage. The most predictive model was based on T. urticae-days during mid-July to harvest, which correctly predicted occurrence and nonoccurrence of cone damage in 91 and 93% of data sets, respectively, based on Youden’s index. A second model based on the ratio of T. urticae to predatory arthropods late in the season correctly predicted cone damage in 92% of data sets and nonoccurrence of damage in 77% of data sets. The model based on T. urticae abundance performed similarly when validated in 23 commercial hop yards, whereas the model based on the predator:prey ratio was relatively conservative and yielded false-positive predictions in 11 of the 23 yards. Antecedents of these risk factors were explored and quantified by structural equation modeling. A simple path diagram was constructed that conceptualizes T. urticae invasion of hop cones as dependent on prior density of the pest on leaves in early spring and summer, which in turn influences the development of predatory arthropods that mediate late-season density of the pest. In summary, the biological insights and models developed here provide guidance to pest managers on the likelihood of visual cone damage from T. urticae that can inform late-season management based on both abundance of the pest and its important predators. This is critically important because a formal economic threshold for T. urticae on hop does not exist and current management efforts may be mistimed to influence the pest when crop damage is most probable. More broadly, this research suggests that current management practices that target T. urticae early in the season may in fact predispose yards to later outbreaks of the pest.

Maintenance Model

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are facing significant deterioration due to aging and improper maintenance. Statistics Canada reported that 22% and 14% of the wastewater treatment plants in Alberta and Ontario, respectively, are in poor and very poor conditions. Because of the non-capital and capital improvement requirements for any WWTP, intervention decision-making tools are paramount. The objectives of this research were to develop an integrated condition rating model for the WWTP and an optimized maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement (MR&R) intervention model. The condition assessment model was applied on case studies and the indices supplied by the operators were used to compare the results of model through the mean absolute error (MAE) calculation, which was minimal. To optimize the intervention decisions for various units of the WWTP, the binary integer programming was used. These models are expected to enhance the evaluation of WWTPs and facilitate intervention plans based on an optimized methodology.
