Vétek, G., & Pénzes, B. 2004 Vesszokártevok elofordulása termovesszon és sarjon termo málnaültetvényekben. [The incidence of cane pests in a traditional and an autumn-fruiting raspberry plantation.]. Növényvédelem 40(1): 3-10.
Notes: Studies were conducted between 2001 and 2002 in 'Malling Exploit' and 'Autumn Bliss' raspberry plantations in Nagyréde, Hungary to identify the pests responsible for cane death and their natural enemies. Differences between cultivars and growing methods played an important role in the incidence of pests in the two plantations. In both plantations, the most frequent pest damaging canes was the raspberry cane midge (Resseliella theobaldi). However, this pest was severely parasitized by a chalcidoid species belonging to the genus Aprostocetus. The rose stem girdler (Agrilus aurichalceus [Agrilus macroderus]) was also an important pest damaging raspberry canes. The chalcidoid species Baryscapus agrilorum and Tetrastichus heeringi, which were both reared on Agrilus aurichalceus larvae, did not give significant control of the pest population. Larvae of Synanthedon tipuliformis and Zeuzera pyrina were found living inside raspberry canes but did not cause any significant damage. Aulacaspis rosae, Oecanthus pellucens, Atrococcus bejbienkoi and Lasioptera rubi had no significant contribution to cane death.
