Abstract

The northern region of Coahuila is one of the most important nut producing areas in Mexico. Euplatypus segnis (Chapuis, 1865) and Xyleborus ferrugineus (F. 1801) curculionids plague associated with walnuts in the country, not knowing if there are others present in the orchards. From july 2015 to september 2016 and august 2017, samples were taken from the Germplasm Bank of the INIFAP-Experimental Zaragoza Site, eight commercial orchards and native walnut trees. Using as sampling methods standard entomological network and knocking-sprinkling of the foliage with Cipermetrina. The 1 174 adult insect specimens were collected, six orders were determined, 49% were coleoptera, with Coccinellidae being the most abundant family, 17% were curculionids (203 adults and 32 identified species). Pandeleteius cinereus (Horn, 1876), Compsus auricephalus (Say, 1824) and Conotrachelus leucophaetus (Fahraeus, 1837 were harvested in walnut foliage, currently these species are not of economic importance for the crop. Smicronyx interruptus (Blatchley, 1916), S. sculpticollis (Casey, 1892) and Thecesternus hirsutus (Pierce, 1909) are possible natural biological control agents for Cuscuta L., 1753, Acacia (Mill, 1754) and Parthenium L., 1753. It is important that no specimens were collected from Curculio caryae (Horn, 1873), Euplatypus segnis, neither Xyleborus ferrugineus, curculionidae considered pests of pecan tree in Mexico.

Resumen

La región norte de Coahuila es una de las zonas productoras de nuez más importantes en México. Euplatypus segnis (Chapuis, 1865) y Xyleborus ferrugineus (F. 1801) curculiónidos plaga asociados a nogales en el país, desconociéndose si hay otros presentes en las huertas. De julio de 2015 a septiembre de 2016 y agosto de 2017 se realizaron muestreos en el Banco de Germoplasma del INIFAP-Sitio Experimental Zaragoza, ocho huertas comerciales y árboles nativos de nogal. Utilizando como métodos de muestreo red entomológica estándar y manteo-aspersión del follaje con Cipermetrina. Se recolectaron 1 174 especímenes adultos de insectos, determinando seis órdenes, 49% fueron coleópteros, siendo Coccinellidae la familia más abundante, 17% fueron curculiónidos (203 adultos y 32 especies identificadas). Pandeleteius cinereus (Horn, 1876), Compsus auricephalus (Say, 1824) y Conotrachelus leucophaetus Fahraeus, 1837 se recolectaron en follaje de nogales, actualmente estas especies no son de importancia económica para el cultivo. Smicronyx interruptus (Blatchley, 1916), S. sculpticollis (Casey, 1892) y Thecesternus hirsutus (Pierce, 1909) son posibles agentes de control biológico natural para Cuscuta L., 1753, Acacia (Mill, 1754) y Parthenium L., 1753. Es importante que no se recolecto ningún ejemplar de Curculio caryae (Horn, 1873), Euplatypus segnis ni Xyleborus ferrugineus, curculiónidos consideradas plagas del nogal pecanero en México.

The pecan tree (Carya illinoinensis Koch) belongs to the Juglandaceae family, comprising 20 species, seven of which are cultivated, with C. illinoinensis being the most important, native to the southeastern United States of North America and Northern Mexico. The species is widely cultivated from Ontario Canada to the south of Oaxaca, Mexico. It is exploited to a lesser extent in Israel, South Africa, Australia, Egypt, Peru, Argentina and Brazil. The 98% of the world production originates in the American Union and North of Mexico (Thompson and Corner, 2012), which is the second nut producing country in the world (Orona et al., 2013), during 2011 more were planted of 85 000 ha and in 2013 there were 103 866 ha, with a production value of $4 612 539 (thousands of pesos) (SIAP, 2013). It is important to note that this value may change due to the interannual variations due to the alternation shown by the crop.

It is noteworthy that in Mexico more than 90% of the planted area is in the north of the country, excelling the states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Sonora, Nuevo León and Durango. In Coahuila, it is one of the most valued productive chains with $614 133. 82 (thousands of pesos) (SIAP, 2013). In addition, the northern region is of great relevance since it is part of the center of origin of the walnut tree.

The insects with the most common pests in the nogaleras of Coahuila are: the vermillion borer worms (GBR) and walnut (GBN), the yellow and black aphids. For its importance as a plague, highlights the nut borer worm Acrobasis nuxvorella Nunzing. In Mexico, Euplatypus segnis and Xyleborus ferrugineus are the only known curculionids associated with walnut. Although, other species that damage cause are known as: Cryptorhynchus minutissimus LeConte, Conotrachelus hicoriae Schof, C. elegans (Say), C. aratus (Germar) and Curculio caryae, the latter the most important walnut pest in the USA (Bloem et al., 2002; Al-Saqer et al., 2010). The objective of the present study was to know the entomowildlife of curculionidae associated with the cultivation of pecan tree in the north of Coahuila.

The adult insect collections were made from July 2015 to September 2016 and August 2017 in eight commercial walnut orchards, the Pecan Tree Germplasm Bank of the Zaragoza Experimental Site, Coahuila and in native walnut trees of the municipalities that comprise the region the five springs, north of Coahuila (Allende, Morelos, Nava, Villa Union and Zaragoza), zone located at coordinates 28°12’ 00’’ at 28° 45’ 39’’ north latitude and 100° 23’ 49’’ at 101° 24’ 58’’ west longitude. The collections were made using two methods, the first a standard entomological network and the second with the technique known as knocking-sprinkling of the foliage, with the entomological network numerous random scraps were given in the scrub and walnut foliage, the second method consisted of in selecting three trees randomly in each orchard to which they placed, on the floor, under the drip zone a white blanket of 6 m2, made the above, with a backpack sprinkler with a capacity of 15 liters, was sprinkled the foliage with Cypermethrin for each liter of water.

Three trees were randomly selected per orchard, under each tree a white blanket of 6 m2 was placed. With the support of a ladder the foliage was sprinkled at a concentration of 5 mL/1 L of water using a ladder. We waited 20 min, to proceed then to collect with tweezers or brush the insects knocked down in the blanket. All insects collected by both methods were placed in jars with 96% ethyl alcohol. In the Zaragoza Experimental Site (CIRNE-INIFAP) the adult insects obtained were mounted in entomological pins.

The taxonomic identification was made with the help of a stereoscopic microscope and the use of different taxonomic keys; the catalogs of O’Brien and Wibmer (1982); CONABIO (2008) and recent publications were reviewed to determine the distribution of the species. In this study, the taxonomic classification proposed by Anderson (2002) is followed.

Study results

The 1 174 adult insects were collected, determining six orders: Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Neuroptera, Lepidoptera and Hemiptera. 49% of the specimens were Coleoptera, being Coccinelidae the most abundant family, important insects since larvae and adults are the predators of aphids in the walnut (Tarango, 2014). From Curculionidae, 203 specimens were obtained, determining 32 species in eight subfamilies, the most represented were Curculioninae and Entiminae with seven and nine species respectively. P. cinereus, C. auricephalus and C. leucophaetus were the only species collected in the walnut foliage, the others were collected in weeds and shrub plants near the crop.

None of the species harvested in walnut trees are of economic importance for cultivation in Mexico; P. cinereus, recurrent curculionidae in walnut and mesquite (Howden, 1959) feeds on developing branches of Phoradendron sp., Although it causes more severe damage in branches of plants of the genus Juniperus (Cupressaseae), plants common in the region of the five springs C. auricephalus is associated with vegetative structures of cotton and alfalfa and has been reported in Prosopis sp. (mesquite) (Ward et al., 1977), at the Zaragoza Experimental Site, was observed feeding on the foliage of Parthenium hysterophorus L. (Figures 1a and 1b). Of C. leucophaetus of which little is known its biology has been collected in plants of the genus Dianthus (Caryophyllaceae), its true host plant is unknown.

The pecan tree has been one of the crops with the most economic value, which is why entomological studies have focused mainly on insect pests and their control. In Mexico, the curculionidae associated with pecan tree are: E. segnis and X. ferrugineus, which perforate trunk wood and branches, affecting more walnut trees without management and stressed (Aguilar, 2007, Tarango, 2014), these species were not collected, like neither C. caryea that is present in Texas and widely distributed in the nogales zones of the USA (Al-Saqer et al., 2010).

The majority of weevil species were collected in the Germoplasm Bank of pecan tree, which harbors 77 genotypes between varieties and Creole selections. It is an orchard with little agronomic management considered organic, since it avoids the use of synthetic pesticides and mineral fertilizers, actions that protect the environment and promote biodiversity (Aguilar, 2014). S. interruptus, S. sculpticollis and T. hirsutus stand out for their importance as possible beneficial agents of natural biological control. The first two species have not been studied in Mexico, they are developed in cuscuta (Convulvulaceae) and huizache (Fabaceae) (Anderson, 1962).

The Cuscuta sp., Is one of the main parasitic plants in the cultivation of alfalfa, reduces the yield and increases the production costs (Tovar et al., 2014), the huizache (Acacia sp.), is an invasive grassland plant which becomes an economic and ecological problem, currently one of the most effective methods for its control is the use of synthetic herbicides (Ramírez et al., 1998). T. hirsutus is considered by McClay and Anderson (1985) as a possible biological control agent in Parthenium hysterophorus, a species little studied in Mexico. It is important to study these three species more in order to better understand their biology and potential use.

Conclusions

No species of Curculionidae collected and identified is plague of the pecan tree, also confirms the absence of Curculio caryae which is considered one of the main pests in the crop in the Southeastern United States of America.
