Seven species of fungivorous thrips, Acanthothrips nodicornis, Bolothrips dentipes, Cryptothrips nigripes, Hoplandrothrips bidens, Phlaeothrips annulipes, Phlaeothrips coriaceus and Xylaplothrips fuliginosus were collected from dead branches of birch. Despite previously being regarded as rare, P. annulipes was abundant in large numbers, but only the first year after the branches had died. Accordingly, P. annulipes perform only one generation on one branch, and have to move to another recently died branch to perform the next.

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are commercially available for control of soil dwelling larvae of the vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus). In Europe several products are available comprising three different species, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, H. megidis, and Steinernema kraussei. The latter species is for use at low temperatures. Results from several trials using H. megidis and S. kraussei against vine weevil in strawberry fields indicate that low temperature, soil type and possibly the application method are limiting factors that appear to reduce their efficacy. The use of EPNs against vine weevil larvae in the field will be discussed including results from cold-activity studies and application methods.

Different methods to reduce the population of Arion lusitanicus are being investigated in private gardens naturally infested with the slug. In the laboratory the effect of different mulches are also being tested. Preliminary results from the studies conducted in gardens indicate that physical removal of slugs by picking or trapping and killing is most effective. In arenas in the laboratory, slugs avoided cocoa chips mulch and alginate granules. These studies are on-going and will be completed at the end of 2008. The slug parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has recently been isolated in Norway. It is being studied as a biological control agent of A. lusitanicus. Results so far show that young slugs (0,02 " 0,04g) are most susceptible to infection and death. It also appeared that soil based bioassays gave better and more consistent results than assays using Petri dishes with filter paper. Further studies on the host-parasitic relationship of the nematode and slug are required.

Søramerikansk minerflue er siden 1995 funnet flere ganger i norske veksthus. Arten har hittil ikke etablert seg i Norge, da alle fluer funnet i veksthus er utrydded.

The large arionid slug Arion lusitanicus is a serious pest in parts of northern Europe including many parts of Norway. In Norway it has mainly been a pest in home gardens but in recent years it has also spread to horticultural and vegetable crops such as strawberry and lettuce. The use of the nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita against A. lusitanicus is being investigated in an on-going research project that was initiated in 2005. A survey was conducted in 2004 to examine if the nematode P. hermaphrodita could be found occurring naturally in Norway. The result of the survey was positive which led to registration of the product Nemaslug in 2005. Several experiments have been carried out since 2005, to study the effect of both the commercial product Nemaslug and Norwegian isolated P. hermaphrodita on A. lusitanicus slugs. Laboratory and controlled pot experiments confirm that young stages of the slugs are susceptible to the slug parasitic nematode. Further work on the infection process of nematodes in slugs as well as the practical aspects of nematode use in gardens and the field will be addressed as a next step in these studies.

Tradisjonelt er grønngjødslingseffekten den viktigste årsaken til å benytte kløver underkultur i korn. I flere omfattende forsøk har vi imidlertid nå studert hvordan bruk av underkultur i korn påvirker veksten til både ett- og flerårig ugras.
