Arboridia kakogawana: a new pest of grapevine in the EPPO region
Arboridia kakogawana (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) was first described in Japan (Honshu) and then found in the Republic of Korea and the Russian Far East (Primorsky krai). In its native range, A. kakogawana lives in broadleaved and mixed forests and feeds on Vitis amurensis. In 1999, it was discovered near Goryachy Klyuch in Krasnodar krai (Southern Russia). In the 2000s, A. kakogawana was recorded as a pest of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) in vineyards of Russia and the Republic of Korea. Nymphs and adults feed on the lower leaf surface, causing discoloration and necrosis which can then have negative impacts on the maturation of grapes. During surveys conducted in 2000-2003, A. kakogawana was collected in large numbers on grapes in private plots and urban grapevine plantations in Krasnodar. In 2006-2007, it was collected in other localities in Krasnodar and Rostov oblast. In Krasnodar and Rostov, two generations per year have been observed. In the Republic of Korea, observations have shown that, in October, adults move from vineyards to nearby forests in search of trees to overwinter under the bark. In 2008, A. kakogawana was also detected near Yalta on the southern coast of Crimea. Since then, it has been spreading throughout vineyards on the peninsula.
