Vector based monitoring of Flavescence dorée, Xylella fastidiosa and regulated non-quarantine pests in fruit crops and viticulture - innovative acquisition and management of monitoring data (VectoScreen)
Project
Project code: JKI-OW-08-1220, 2818711X19
Contract period: 15.04.2021
- 14.06.2024
Purpose of research: Inventory & Assessment
Quarantine pests (QP) such as Flavescence dorée and Xylella fastidiosa pose a serious threat to fruit and wine crops. Regulated non-quarantine pests (RNQP) affect the phytosanitary quality of planting material, which is particularly important for permanent crops. Monitoring measures are therefore necessary in order to detect the occurrence of regulated harmful organisms or their vectors in good time. Monitoring measures with regard to the organisms relevant in viticulture and fruit growing are labour-intensive and costly and are often carried out independently by different institutions. A lack of overview of available data makes it difficult to identify problematic developments and to coordinate countermeasures. The project therefore aims to develop a new effective and sensitive monitoring strategy, coupled with innovative diagnostics, based on the analysis of unsorted mass catches of plant sucking insects. An internet platform for the administration, analysis and communication of monitoring data is to be developed and made available for the administration and analysis of the data collected in this way as well as for other purposes. The project combines and integrates three different fields of work: i) Relevant taxa of plant sucking insects in orchards and vineyards will be collected, morphologically-taxonomically identified and molecular barcodes for species identification will be developed; ii) The suitability of high throughput sequencing (HTS) for the analysis of Homoptera mass catches with regard to vector identification and associated pathogens and their detection in host plants will be tested; iii) An internet platform for the management, visualization and GIS-based analysis of monitoring data on QP and RNQP in orchards and viney ards will be developed for use by all institutions involved in monitoring.
