Emergence trap for monitoring the cranberry tipworm Dasineuraoxycoccanain Quebec Annabelle Firlej, Jean-Pierre Deland & Daniel Cormier
Cranberry tipworm Dasineuraoxyccocana • Diptera pest presents in North-America • Attacks shoots of cranberry and provokes gall • In blueberry: blueberry gall midge but reproductive isolation (Cook, 2011) Photo: CETAQ
Cranberry tipworm Dasineuraoxyccocana • 25% of the field in Quebec with damage • In general upright damaged produces 50% less fruits (Le Duc 2010) • When infested by the 3rd generation: 33% of fruiting buds are recovered the next year (Le Duc 2010) Photo: CETAQ
Scouting • Current scouting: 100 shoot observed under binocular = time consuming! • Need for adult scouting to better predict egg population, generation and spraying date • MOVENTO 240 SC registered, application after flowering at egg hatching • Different methods tested or under development for monitoring adults (Sarzinsky & Liburd, 2003, talk of S. Fitzpatrick)
Monitoring in blueberry of Florida • Emergence trap developed for blueberry gall midge in blueberry rabbiteye (Roubos & Liburd 2010)
Emergence traps developed in Quebec Petridishtrap(P1) Plate trap (P2)
Objectives and set up • Which trap perform better? • Are adults populations correlated with eggs or larvae populations? • Where to set up the trap? • Is the scouting with a trap more costly (labor)
Objectives and set up • Which trap perform better? • Are adults populations correlated with eggs or larvae populations? • Where to set up the trap? • Is the scouting with a trap more costly (labor) • 3 farms • 9 fields • 15 weeks of sampling • 2 traps • 12 of each traps

Are adults populations correlatedwith eggs or larvae populations? Spearman correlation

In summer 2013 • Which trap perform better? • Are adults populations correlated with eggs or larvae populations? • Where to set up the trap? • Is the scouting with a trap more costly (labor) • Petri dish trap • 12 farms • 12 traps in each field • Early may to September • HOBO loggers
Analyzing time of labor a b b ANOVA P<0.0001

Conclusion • Petri dish efficient to capture adults • Good correlation with eggs but better with larvae • Appears less costly in time of labor • Data integration in forecasting model predicting eggs and larvae generation. Gaétan Bourgeois Scientist in Bioclimatology and Modelling
