    An Evaluation of Insecticidal Trunk Injections for the Control of the European Cherry Fruit Fly Rhagoletis cerasi L. (Diptera: Tephritidae)

    by Rita Gyuris, Árpád Szabó, Anna M. László, Ádám Gutermuth, Csilla Sörös

    Cherry productivity is challenging in Europe due to the presence of the cherry fruit fly (Rhagoletis cerasi). Trunk injection is an alternative method of insecticide delivery that may improve pesticide performance in controlling pests. In our study, four pesticides (abamectin, acetamiprid, flupyradifurone, and cyantraniliprole) were investigated for trunk injection against R. cerasi. Acetamiprid trunk injection in a minimum dose of 0.56 g/tree was suitable for protection against the pest, the efficacy of the control was over 95%, and the pesticide residue concentrations in the fruits were below the maximum permissible limit in each experiment. The trunk injection and foliar spray of the same dose of acetamiprid were equally effective. In the case of the other three active ingredients (abamectin, flupyradifurone, and cyantraniliprole), the trunk injection method did not prove suitable for practical use due to various reasons, which are detailed in the manuscript.

    Brenneria nigrifluens Isolated from Aesculus hippocastanum L. Bark in Hungary

    by Imola Tenorio-Baigorria, Gergely Botyánszki, Rita Gyuris, György Zsigó, László Palkovics, Anita Végh

    In Hungary, from the beginning of the 19th century, horse-chestnut trees have been planted widely and are popular ornamental trees in public parks, along streets, and in gardens. In the summer of 2015, longitudinal cracks on the trunk and branches and the intensive oozing of brown liquid were observed from a wound in a horse-chestnut tree in a park in Budapest. Some years later, in 2018 and 2019, the same symptoms were found in trees in other locations in Budapest. Several bacteria were reported that induce similar symptoms, including cracks and cankers on the bark of trunks and branches and sticky, white, red, brown, or black oozing. These pathogens belong to the genera Brenneria and Lonsdalea. Bark and exudate samples were taken with the aim of identifying the causal agent by conventional and molecular methods. Our results confirmed that the bacteria isolated from Aesculus hippocastanum trees belong to the genus Brenneria and phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene region proved to have the closest phylogenetic relation with the Brenneria nigrifluens strains.
