1 Detecting and Managing Little Cherry Disease Organic Pest and Disease Management Fruit School March 15, 2017 Andrea Bixby-Brosi and Elizabeth Beers: Entomology, Wenatchee, WA Ken Eastwell and Dan Villamor: Plant pathology, Prosser, WA Tim Smith: Regional Extension Specialist, Wenatchee, WA
2 Roadmap 1. Introduction 2. Insect vectors: apple mealybug (AMB), grape mealybug (GMB), and leafhoppers. 3. Insect control 4. LCD identification/indicators 5. Sampling methods/strategies. 6. Management strategies
3 Little Cherry Disease (LCD) Symptoms Produce cherries of small size and poor color and flavor Results Economic losses Tree and orchard removal Bing Cherries
4 Aerial photos showing loss due to LCD
5 Another example of Loss due to LCD
6 LCD pathogens and vectors 1. Little cherry virus 2 (LChV2) (pathogen) Transmitted by apple & grape mealybug (vectors) Root grafting 2. Western X phytoplasma (WX) (pathogen) Transmitted by various leafhopper species (vectors) Root grafting Surprising resurgence discovered in Little cherry virus 1 (LChV1) (pathogen) Mode of transmission unknown Present at low level throughout WA State Typically found in combination with LChV2 or WX
7 Phloem feeding/infection Phloem Responsible for transporting sugars throughout the plant Underneath the outer bark Mealybug and leafhopper vectors Feed on phloem Piercing/sucking mouth parts
8 Vectors and Control
9 Mealybugs vector LChV2 and can be wind dispersed
10 Little Cherry Virus 2 transmission Apple mealybug (AMB) - Univoltine Egg masses on apple Adults Crawlers on underside of leaf Egg mass
11 Apple mealybug phenology Foliar Crawler Delayed Dormant Systemic
12 Apple mealybug control 2014 Foliar Crawler Systemic Petal Fall Delayed Dormant
13 Apple mealybug control 2015 Foliar Crawler Systemic Petal Fall Delayed Dormant
14 AMB parasitism Observed parasitism jumped from affecting approximately 20% of egg laying females in 2014, 70-80% in 2015, and to almost 100% in Parasitoid wasps were identified as Anagyrus schoenherri.
15 Little Cherry Virus 2 transmission Grape mealybug (GMB) Multivoltine Adults on shoot Adult on base of cherry cluster Overwintering egg mass
16 Grape mealybug phenology Petal Fall Summer Systemic
17 Control methods for grape mealybug (GMB) GMB-infested 1-yr.-old potted Bing trees. Treatments: Admire Pro - neonicotinoid (drench systemic) Aza-Direct azadirachtin (drench systemic) Ultor spirotetramat (foliar-systemic) Centaur - buprofezin (insect growth regulator) Results: Nymphs Admire Pro, Aza-Direct and Centaur reduced populations nearly to zero after 28 days Adults Admire Pro, Aza-Direct and Centaur reduced populations to zero after 19 days
18 The Hunt for Leafhopper Vectors of Western X in Washington Cherries: Year One Two most abundant leafhopper vector species were Colladonus geminatus and reductus. Greater incidence in neighboring alfalfa field than in orchard. Peak in alfalfa observed late May/early June for C. geminatus, early June for C. reductus. C. reductus increasing in orchard early August.
19 Indicators of LCD
20 Are mealybugs a good indicator of LChV2 infection? Only 50% of infected orchards visited in 2014 and 2015 had active MB populations. So.. NO - LChV2 infection is not always correlated with an active MB infestation. The initial infection via insect vectors may have occurred previously, but symptoms become evident only in subsequent years. - + Mealybugs collected from LChV2+ trees
21 Are visual symptoms good indicators of infection? Can be seen up to 2 weeks before harvest But, can be confusing.. Disease expression is dependent on cherry variety and weather. Partial recovery in fruit appearance. Confusion of symptoms with those of other diseases, and certain types of nutrient deficiencies. Some infected trees are symptomless (Typhoid Mary) Infected Lapin (WX)
22 Locating LChV2-infected trees In orchards with known LChV2 infections: New infections are close to old ones Most infected trees show some symptoms, but they can be subtle
23 Sampling
24 Sampling for LCD Sample leaves or flag symptomatic trees/limbs at harvest time. If symptoms are not visible, take a representative sample. Leaf sampling Collect leaves from symptomatic limbs (10 leaves/tree), or two leaves per leader if symptoms are not visible. Dormant season sampling Requires 8 inches of dormant bud wood collected from each leader (minimum of five bud wood samples per tree). January or February Send samples Clean Plant Center Northwest, Prosser Irrigated Agriculture Research & Extension Center. Symptomatic limb Dormant season sampling
25 Management
26 Removing infected trees/orchards!! Trees Treat trunks with herbicide to avoid re-infection via root grafting and suckering Whole orchards Ripping Fumigation Leaf samples from suckers tested positive for LChV2
27 Reinfection risk of a newly planted orchard New planting (removed in 2013 and replanted in 2014) Removed in 2015 due to LCD Older Healthy trees LChV2- positive
28 Overall Conclusions Vector Control There are not many options for organic mealybug control Two leafhopper species were identified as local vectors, but control options have not been explored Indicators of LCD infection Absence of MB infestation doesn t correlate with absence of infection Visual symptoms can be confusing New infections are likely to be located near old ones PCR testing is necessary when monitoring Trees that do not show obvious disease symptoms, can still be infected. Representative samples (leaves) should be taken from suspect trees. Infected trees should be promptly removed.
29 Takeaway management tactics Infected trees should be promptly removed! Remove any additional trees displaying the same visual symptoms. Revisit infection sites yearly Control for vectors Manage for reinfection
