Programme of special control over the presence of harmful insects in plant production on the territory of Republika Srpska in 2020.

This Special surveillance programme, as in accordance with the provisions of the Law on plant health protection (Republic of Srpska), determines the measures, deadlines, manner of management of those measures, entities that will implement them, sources and the manner of providing and using of funds, and the manner of control over the implementation of special presence control measures as regards the presence of harmful insects in plant production on the territory of Republika Srpska in 2020. The goal of this programme is to determine presence, that is absences, as well as the seasonal population dynamics of the following harmful insects: Asian fruit flies Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, brown marble bedbug Halyomorpha halys Stal, strawberry gloss Stelidota geminata Say and North American cherry fly Rhagoletis cingulata Loew in production plantations of host plants. Plant species host of the Asian fruit fly Drosophila suzukii Matsumura are: raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.), black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.), blackberry (Rubus fructicosa L.), currant (Ribes spp.), blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duchesne), fig (Ficus carica L.), apple (Malus domestica Borkh.), White mulberry (Morus alba L.), red mulberry (Morus rubra L.), apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), cherry (Prunus avium L.) L.), cherry (Prunus cerasus L.), plum (Prunus domestica L.), peach (Prunus persica L., Batsch), grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), kiwi (Actinidia spp.) and others. Plant species host of the brown marble bed bugs Halyomorpha halys Stal are: pear (Pyrus communis L.), apple (Malus domestica Borkh.), Peach (Prunus persica L.), cherry (Prunus avium L.), apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.), plum (Prunus domestica L.), raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.), grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), soy (Glycine max L.) and others. The primary host of these harmful species are strawberry cultivations. A large number of fruit and vegetable species are con considered as secondary host of strawberry gloss. Primary hosts of the North American cherry Rhagoletis cingulata Loew flies are cherries (Prunus avium L.) and cherries (Prunus cerasus L.).
