The wood and leaves of Actinidia chinensis Hort16A and two male pollinisers A chinensis Meteor and A chinensis Sparkler from commercial kiwifruit orchards were sampled for the presence of armoured scale insects during winter 2007 and summer 2008/09 The numbers and species of scale insect were recorded Meteor had high armoured scale insect populations on its wood with approximately 10 times more armoured scale insects than Sparkler or Hort16A The leaves of Hort16A vines adjacent to Meteor vines had 44 more armoured scale insects and were 30 more likely to be infested by scale insects than the leaves of Hort16A vines adjacent to Sparkler vines The implications of these findings for armoured scale insect control on Hort16A fruit are discussed

The proportion of greedy (Hemiberlesia rapax) and latania (H lataniae) scale insect crawlers (Hemiptera Diaspididae) that settled on fruit of commercial kiwifruit cultivars Actinidia arguta cv K2D4 A chinensis cv Hort16A and A deliciosa cv Hayward was quantified at intervals from 20 to 100 final fruit size In all three cultivars the proportion of settled crawlers increased as the fruit matured The settlement of greedy scale was greater than latania on Hort16A fruit with minimal differences between scale species on other cultivars Comparisons of scale settlement with scale phenology found fruit of K2D4 was vulnerable to settlement from the first summer generation with secondgeneration scale mainly infesting Hayward fruit Hort16A fruit can be infested by both generations Implications of these findings for the pest status of scale insects and customisation of the industry pestmonitoring system (KiwiGreen) for new varieties are discussed

The relative susceptibility to greedy and latania scale of 21 tree species used as kiwifruit shelter was determined using laboratory and shade house bioassays The bioassays confirmed the general susceptibility of most of the willow and poplar selections but showed that some selections had good levels of resistance measured by scale insect survival and growth For some shelter species resistance to the two armoured scale species differed The most resistant of the commonly used shelter species were Bambusa oldhami Pinus radiata and Cryptomeria japonica Other less commonly used species such as Pittosporum spp also showed good resistance Using these resistant species as shelter in a kiwifruit orchard will minimise the risk of the shelter becoming a reservoir for either species of armoured scale

The infestation of armoured scale insects on kiwifruit at various distances from the leader in a commercial organic cv Hayward block in the Bay of Plenty was examined at harvest in 2005 This was to test the hypothesis that fruit further from the leader have fewer armoured scale insects than those nearer to the leader From the 25 pergolatrained vines examined kiwifruit from directly beneath the leader had a significantly higher probability of being infested with armoured scale insects (26) compared with fruit sampled from 08 m (116) or 16 m (63) away from the leader The orientation of fruit on the vine (westfacing or eastfacing) had no effect on armoured scale insect incidence Individual vines differed significantly in their level of armoured scale insect infestation Latania scale comprised 84 of the scale insects The implications of these results for growers are discussed

Insect Family

Ground pearls are a primitive subterrestrial relative of the widely recognized above ground armored scale insect (family Diaspididae). While retaining well-developed fossorial legs with numerous setae (which scale insects do not have), ground pearls do not possess the ability to secrete scales similar to their scale relatives (Beardsley and Gonzalez). Instead, the ground pearls excrete a waxy covering that totally surrounds their body with the exception of their piercing- sucking mouthparts. The voided waxy spherical covering of the insect is the most likely structure to be encountered. The sphere is pink to yellowish-brown in color and measures from 1/6 of an inch in diameter to as small as a grain of sand (Short). The exposed mouthparts are used to feed and attach to the roots of plants. This document is EENY-277, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Armoured Scale Insects

Scale infested kiwifruit continues to be a problem despite regular monitoring and spraying Shelterbelt trees may be a source of scale insect infestations in kiwifruit vines A survey of armoured scale insects in 12 common species of shelterbelt trees used in kiwifruit orchards was carried out Bark samples were removed and the density of scale insects and species composition was determined Japanese cedar as a shelterbelt species is unlikely to be a significant host for scale insects whereas Balsam poplar willow and leyland cypress were more likely to host high populations Shelterbelts in Northland Auckland and Gisborne generally had higher levels of scale insects than the same species in the Bay of Plenty and Nelson Greedy or latania scale (Hemiberlesia spp) was found more frequently than oleander scale (Aspidiotus nerii)
