Description
- Purpose
- The cotton seed BUG (CSB), oxycarenus hyalinipennis, is a pest of cotton and other members of the malvaceae plant family, such as okra. Since 2019, CSB has been found in california on mallow plants in LOS angeles; on a lagunaria tree in orange and riverside counties; and on malvaceae plants in SAN diego. Assistance is needed to continue the implementation of the CSB survey in cotton and okra growing counties throughout california. The survey will increase the success of any eradication efforts and provide rapid response if detected. 2.
- Activities
- Cdfa's integrated pest control branch has developed survey methods based off the USDA's new pest response guidelines (NPRG) for CSB, which includes: (1) conduct cotton boll sampling in cotton plants in all cotton growing counties throughout the state of california, (2) conduct visual inspection of cotton and okra plants in all cotton and okra growing counties throughout the state of california, (3) provide a detection method and monitoring plan for CSB. (4) develop a grower-focused outreach plan based on the federal response guidelines. The survey will take place late august through mid-october and focus on high-risk areas towards the perimeter of the fields where risk of entry from artificial spread is highest. Cdfa will survey up to 10% of commercial cotton and okra fields in all cotton and okra growing counties throughout california. Samples will be submitted for cdfa laboratory analysis. 3. Deliverables and expected outcomes: the survey will provide information on the distribution of CSB, as well as allow the USDA, cdfa, and the cotton industry to provide an early detection system for CSB finds in commercial cotton fields in california. Efficacy of the sampling methodology is confirmed by the number of samples collected, verifying the survey met the 10% survey goal, and the success of the quality control checks of the boll survey. A final report will provide a chart showing field sites visited per county and the type and number of suspect insect detections. 4. Intended beneficiary(IES): CSB causes damage to cotton plants by feeding on the oils of the seeds which decreases seed quality and germination. Furthermore, increased economic losses occur when CSB is crushed during ginning, as they lower its quality and stain the cotton lint. California cotton was worth approximately 287 million dollars in 2021. CSB has also been reported to feed on other plants, including dodder (cuscuta campestris), and various fruits, including apricot, peaches, and grapes. 5.
