• Damage from wind, snow, spruce bark beetle, and large pine weevil are likely to be less severe in CCF than in RF. However, the conversion of RF to CCF may briefy expose stands to windthrow. • Browsing by large herbivores on saplings may limit regeneration of tree species other than spruce in continuous cover forestry and reduce tree species diversity, but alternative silvicultural practices may also increase forage availability in the feld and shrub layer. Browsing damage outcomes for saplings in CCF are diffcult to predict. • For many types of damage in CCF, substantial knowledge gaps complicate the assessment of damage risk.

Sweet cherry fruit in Norway is sold to the domestic market for fresh consumption. Gradually the self-fertile and high yielding cultivar ‘Lapins’ has become dominant and in the 2024 season, cv. Lapins made up 60% of the total sweet cherry volume. The production of sweet cherry in Norway is located around three main packinghouses with minor to no differences in ripening time dependent on the weather conditions of the year. Situations with too much fruit on the market at the same time have been experienced, and fruit with a longer possible distribution time have been demanded from the packinghouses. In postharvest experiments, deliveries to the same packinghouse the same day exposed to exactly the same treatments were compared and differed in fungal decay from less than 5% to 60% after simulated shelf life. The dominating fungal decay was Mucor rot and grey mold. The risk of fungal decay pre- and postharvest on fruit grown in a humid climate (500 to 1700 mm annual precipitation) increases with high humidity under the plastic cover, with fruit-to-fruit contact in clusters, with incidence of non-developing or damaged fruit, and with minimal effect of the plant protection program. In order to improve the market situation in Norway, postharvest treatments alone are probably not enough. A holistic approach is needed through introduction of new cultivars with high yield potential that ripen over a longer period of time and are thoroughly tested in real scale experiments simulating distribution. A major challenge will be how to motivate growers to plant cultivars with potentially less income than possible with the self-fertile, high yielding cv. ‘Lapins’.

It is highly unlikely that Anagyrus vladimiri will be able to establish or spread in Norway. There are no native host organisms, and winter temperatures are too low. Therefore, it is likely that the parasitic wasp will not affect local biodiversity. Thus concludes the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment (VKM). Background VKM has assessed the environmental risk of using the product Citripar in Norway. The risk assessment was carried out at the request of the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. Citripar, a product for biological control, is being sought for approval for use in Norway. The product contains the parasitic wasp Anagyrus vladimiri and is intended to be used against mealybugs, especially the species Planococcus citri and P. ficus, on fruits, berries, vegetables, and herbs in greenhouses and plastic tunnels, as well as on indoor plants. Conclusions There have been no reported observations of Anagyrus vladimiri in Norway. VKM assesses that Anagyrus vladimiri will not be able to establish and spread in Norway under current conditions. Anagyrus vladimiri will have no effect on biological diversity in Norway, as there are no known native host organisms that the wasp can parasitize. Individuals of what is now known as Anagyrus vladimiri were for many years identified as belonging to the species Anagyrus pseudococci. Anagyrus pseudococci and A. vladimiri belong to a complex of species that are almost impossible to distinguish from each other and are informally referred to as the Anagyrus pseudococci complex. The risk assessment is approved by VKM's Panel on Plant Health.
