文摘

Grapevine leafroll disease (GLD) is caused by a number of viruses in the grapevine leafroll-associated virus complex (GLRaVs). GLRaV-3 is the most commonly found GLRaV and is transmitted by mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and soft scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccidae). A series of investigations were conducted to understand spatio-temporal patterns of GLRaV-3 and mealybugs, and to examine management strategies of mealybugs under the environmental conditions of Virginia, USA. During the study, a rapid increase (185 % per year) of GLRaV-3 positive vines was observed at an experimental vineyard. Spatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs (SADIE) indicated a mix of aggregated, random, and uniform distributions of GLRaV-3 within six surveyed vineyards, and a temporal association of GLRaV-3-positive vines over three years at the experimental vineyard. Results from a field experiment in 2009–2011 showed the effect of a delayed dormant application of acetamiprid (Assail, 0.182 L/ha) to be not significantly differing in mealybug abundance from the unsprayed check in 2010 and 2011. Moreover, an application of the contact insecticide beta-cyfluthrin (Baythroid XL, 0.219 L/ha) resulted in significantly higher numbers of mealybugs counted in 2011. This study also demonstrated that GLRaV-3 was spread from mature vines to newly planted sentinel vines during the first growing season, with no apparent effect of prevailing wind direction. Results from another insecticide trial conducted in 2010–2011 demonstrated that both dinotefuran (Scorpion, 0.292 L/ha) and spirotetramat (Movento, 0.439 L/ha) treatments significantly reduced mealybug counts when mealybug populations were high, but only spirotetramat significantly reduced mealybug counts when mealybug populations were low.KeywordsGrapevine leafroll diseaseGLRaV-3Ferissia gilliPseudococcus maritimusSpatial Analysis by Distance IndicEs (SADIE)
