"The cosmopolitan aphid species Myzus persicae is a key pest of peach orchards in south and southeastern Romania. The phenomenon of resistance induced by the intensive use of insecticides is a matter of concern for farmers and protectionists, making necessary integrated measure for the control of this pest. Conservation of natural enemy’s populations is an essential component of any management system proposed for pest aphids. The aim of the study was to determine the structure of predatory insects associated with Myzus persicae populations in peach orchards. The research was carried out in three orchards from two localities from Constanta County, in peach plantations with Springcrest variety aged 7, 11 and 12 years. As a result of this study, there were determined a total of 15 predatory insect species belonging to eight systematic families: Coccinellidae, Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae, Syrphydae, Cecidomyiidae, Panorpidae, Nabidae and Forficulidae, which naturally contribute to the reduction of the green peach aphid populations.

Abstract The dynamics of interactions amongst natural enemies are central to the investigation of insect pest ecology. Ternary and quaternary interactions between parasitoids and predators in the presence of entomophagous organisms are yet to be comprehensively explored. We investigated the performance of a clone of green peach aphid (Myzus persicae (Sulzer); Hemiptera: Aphididae), raised on savoy cabbage (Brassica oleracea Linnaeus; Brassicaceae), under all possible combinations of: I) the parasitoid Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae); II) the predator Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae); III) the predator Adalia bipunctata (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae); and IV) the spider Parasteatoda tepidariorum (Koch) (Araneae: Theridiidae). We demonstrate a considerably differential green peach aphid abundance, polyphenism, and fine-scale spatial distribution in response to the combination, number, and identity of the present enemy species and their interactions. Surprisingly, certain combinations led to thriving green peach aphid populations due to interference between enemies; whereas, other combinations resulted in tangible collective suppression of the population. At the frontier of agroecology and entomology, we provide fresh insights on the effects of conflict and synergy between natural enemies sharing a pest of a cash crop as prey, highlighting the consequences of the presence of a novel synanthropic spider, as a top predator, on pest regulation.

The green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, a common pest of spinach produced in the Arkansas River Valley of western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma, is currently managed with foliar applications of neonicotinoid insecticides. Data reported herein indicate that the neonicotinoid insecticdes, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam, can also be applied to spinach seed and into the soil for effective aphid management. In greenhouse studies both imidacloprid (Gaucho) and thiamethoxam (Cruiser) seed treatments were effective against adults and prevented the establishment of juvenile aphids for a period of 12 weeks after planting. Similar results were obtained in field studies. Regardless of rate, each of the neonicotinoid seed treatments significantly reduced the number of aphids when compared to aphid population levels on non-treated spinach. In addition to the seed treatments, in-furrow applications also resulted in significantly lower aphid numbers than on plants in plots not receiving the applications. Tests also demonstrated that imidacloprid (Admire) effectively managed aphid populations after being injected into the soil. Of the seed and soil applications evaluated, the only application method currently available is use of imidacloprid applied into the soil. This method currently offers the spinach producer an alternative management tool for green peach aphid control on spinach. As the labels of imidacloprid and other neonicotinoid insecticides are expanded to include additional use patterns such as seed treatments, effective alternatives to foliar sprays should prove effective for aphid management on spinach.
