New Association

AbstractThe new association approach for selecting biological control agents has been reanalyzed in the light of recent data. The results support the conclusion that the new association approach is ecologically and statistically sound. One of the major advantages of this approach is its capacity to control native pests, which make up 60–80% of all pests. The specificity of biocontrol agents newly associated with the target hosts is similar to other biocontrol agents. In addition, the new association approach is as safe as the old association approach in terms of environmental risks. Recent trials in the use of new associations have been most encouraging, and suggest that this approach should contribute to the future success of biological pest control worldwide.

Arthropod Pest

Abstract Deer farming is a growing livestock industry. As with established livestock farming, biting arthropod pest control is a challenge, but knowledge about pest control practices being utilized by deer farmers is limited. To fill this knowledge gap and to assess if recommended integrated pest management (IPM) programs were being used, we surveyed Florida deer farmers about their pest management programs via an online questionnaire. Of surveyed deer farmers in Florida, 94% reported using chemicals for plant and arthropod pest control. Deer farmers reported controlling biting midges, mosquitoes, horse flies, and deer flies as their target arthropods. The primary herbicide and arthropod-targeted pesticide reported were glyphosate and permethrin, respectively. Two thirds of deer farmers reported that they were concerned about pesticide resistance developing on their properties, and 72% reported utilizing resistance mitigation techniques such as alternating pesticides or using less pesticide at the start of a management routine. A majority, 66%, of deer farmers reported using a combination of control techniques. Future work should focus on best management practice development based on the study findings, as well as educational materials regarding IPM use for deer farmers. Together these tools should improve animal health and well-being on deer farms by facilitating safe and sustainable arthropod management.
