Neozygites floridana is an important natural enemy of the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae. Pesticides used in strawberries that might affect the conservation and enhancement of this beneficial fungus were therefore studied. This was done in a laboratory study by letting non-inoculated (healthy) mites and mites inoculated with N. floridana feed on strawberry leaf disks treated with one of the following pesticides: the fungicides tolylfluanid, fenhexamid or cyprodinil + fludioxonil or the acaricide/insecticide/molluscicide methiocarb. The effect of these pesticides on mortality and egg production of T. urticae and on the killing capacity and sporulation of N. floridana were determined. Tolylfluanid increased the mortality of non-inoculated mites (75.3%) compared to the non-inoculated control (27.5%). Methiocarb also killed non-inoculated mites. Fenhexamid did not have any effect on the mortality of non-inoculated mites (19.2%), neither had cyprodinil + fludioxonil (19.1%). Tolylfluanid did not reduce the mortality of mites inoculated with N. floridana (89.3%) compared to the inoculated control (80.0%). Neither did methiocarb, it rather increased the mortality of inoculated mites (93.2%). Fenhexamid did, however, reduce the mortality of inoculated mites (66.7%). The same was true for cyprodinil + fludioxonil (48.7%). In addition, cyprodinil + fludioxonil increased the time to death of inoculated mites (6.69 days) compared to the control (6.10 days), and inhibited sporulation of N. floridana (7.9% sporulation) compared to the control (42.4% sporulation). Tolylfluanid also reduced sporulation of N. floridana (15.5% sporulation). Results from this study indicate that the use of the fungicides tested will potentially reduce the survival and efficacy of the natural enemy N. floridana in the field.

The control of Alopecurus geniculatus, Poa annua and Poa trivialis using iodosulfuron (Hussar/Hussar OD) was investigated in field experiments in the seed harvest year in timothy (Phleum pratense), and in the sowing year and seed harvest year in smooth meadow-grass (Poa pratensis) and red fescue (Festuca rubra). Iodosulfuron (10 g a.i. ha-1) usually had good effect on Poa trivialis and Alopecurus geniculatus. As for Poa annua the effect on seed contamination was better than on weed coverage in the field. Early application improved weed control in the seed harvest years, and iodosulfuron was shown to perform well at low temperatures. The herbicide often delayed timothy development, but caused seed yield reduction only in two out of eight experiments, both with moist soil at treatment. The visual damage increased with increasing rates and use of additives (alcoholetoxylate or rape oil). A questionnaire investigation among timothy growers in 2004 showed that farmers using Hussar had 43% lower contamination of P. trivialis in cleaned seed yield and 20% lower yield than the farmers not using Hussar. In some trials in timothy and smooth meadow-grass, the new formulation Hussar OD gave slightly more damage than the old formulation Hussar. While well-established timothy crops seem to tolerate some visual damage without seed yield reduction, the risk of yield reduction in first year crops can usually be avoided by splitting the application into 5 g a.i. ha-1 at 14 days intervals. In smooth meadow-grass and red fescue established without cover crop, repeated applications of 5 g a.i. ha-1 in the sowing year resulted in better control of P. annua and significant seed yield improvements compared to application only in the seed harvest year. Both Hussar and Hussar OD have off-label approvals for members of the Norwegian Seed Growers Association.

Det mangler per i dag overvåkingssystemer for en rekke viktige insekter som er eller kan bli viktige skadegjørere i norsk skog i fremtiden. Dette behovet har ytterligere blitt aktualisert fordi fremmede arter introduseres, og fordi klimaendringer kan endre artenes utbredelse og tendens til å gi utbrudd. Det anbefales derfor at overvåkingen av granbarkbillen opprettholdes og suppleres med registreringer av skadde trær. I tillegg bør det være en egen overvåking ved importhavnene hvor fremmede arter har størst sannsynlighet for å bli introdusert. Det bør også være en målrettet overvåking og vurdering av behovet for overvåking av andre potensielle skadegjørere.
