Following compilation of distribution records and seasonal flight activity information for 106 metallic wood-boring beetle (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) species for Tennessee, maps were updated to provide county-level collection notations for 10,543 published records and specimen collections made from 1934 to 2013. County collection tallies across the ecoregions in Tennessee are also presented. Maps for individual species highlight gaps in key geographic areas where specimens have not been collected and can be valuable for future biosurveillance, monitoring and management efforts for these economically and ecologically important insects.

The fungus gnat has recently been recognized as an important pest in greenhouses. Although greenhouse plants are commonly attacked, house plants may also become infested. Several genera in the family Sciaridae are of economic concern, such as Sciara, Orfelia, Lycoriella and Bradysia species.

Pest Management (PM) is a term that refers to the use of various strategies to manage greenhouse insect and mite pests. The focus of PM is to use a variety of management strategies to deal with existing pest problems, rather than relying solely on pest control materials such as insecticides and/or miticides. PM involves the use of cultural, physical, biological and/or chemical management strategies.
PM programs typically require growers to be proactive rather than reactive. An effective PM program begins by regularly scouting the greenhouse for insect and mite pests. A PM program may include establishing action thresholds for specific …

Pb1739-Managing Fire Ants In Urban Areas, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Commercial Horticulture
The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, the black imported fire ant, Solenopsis richteri Forel, and their hybrid are nuisance insects and their stings can cause serious medical problems. Imported fire ants interfere with outdoor activities and harm wildlife throughout the southern United States. Ant mounds are unsightly and may reduce land values. In some cases, imported fire ants are considered to be beneficial because they prey upon other arthropod pests. In urban areas, fire ants prey on flea larvae, chinch bugs, cockroach eggs, ticks and other pests. In many infested areas, the problems outweigh the benefits and controlling …

Experts predict most of Tennessee is suitable for fire ant survival. Recent research from The University of Tennessee indicates the hybrid form found in East and parts of Middle Tennessee is more cold-tolerant than either parent species (the red or black imported fire ant). Therefore, we must learn how to manage these pesky ants. Once fire ants are established in an area, weʼll need to apply the two-step method twice a year.

Spraying Tree Fruits, C. C. Wiggans, E. H. Hoppert
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The production of sound, clean fruit is unquestionably one of the major problems facing the modern fruit grower. Culture may be neglected and pruning delayed for a time but the omission of sprays for even a single season demonstrates their absolute necessity. This applies equally to the commercial grower and to the farmer or gardener who has only a few trees.
