Sustaining the long-term efficacy of CpGV-based products agaings codling moth

Description: Das Projekt "Sustaining the long-term efficacy of CpGV-based products agaings codling moth" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Dienstleistungszentrum Ländlicher Raum - Rheinpfalz durchgeführt. The efficient and environmentally friendly control of insect pests is a major challenge of modern crop protection. Cydia pomonella Granulovirus (CpGV) meets these requirements par excellence. CpGV-based products are used to control the codling moth (CM), the most severe pest on apples and pears. CpGV products play a key role for different producing and distributing European SMEs and are applied on more than 100000 ha in Europe. Last year, the first reports became available of CM populations with a dramatically decreased susceptibility to CpGV products. A spread of the observed resistance is a threat to the continued success of CpGV products and to the economic basis of the CpGV producing and distributing SMEs. Sustaining the long-term efficacy of CpGV products is of fundamental importance for these SMEs. It is also to the benefit of the consumers and meets the strategic targets of the Community Agricultural Policy. A multinational consortium including all European CpGV producers and research groups that demonstrated excellence in CpGV research was founded to develop scientific solutions for the SMEs. This consortium aims to achieve the following research and development (R&D) related objectives: 1) Determination of the susceptibilities of different European CM populations as a first step in looking at the possible differences in their response to CpGV; 2) Determination of the mechanisms involved in resistance development of CM against CpGV; 3) Identification and characterization of more virulent CpGV isolates as an alternative to the presently commercialised CpGV isolate; 4) Production, formulation and field efficacy of novel CpGV isolates. By focussing on these research tasks and providing alternatives to the presently used virus isolate, this project will become a pivotal step towards the preservation of CpGV and thus the competitiveness of the SMEs producing and selling them.
