Citripar, a biological plant protection product containing the parasitic wasp Anagyrus vladimiri, is requested to be approved for use in Norway. The product is intended to be used against mealybugs, particularly Planococcus citri (citrus mealybug) and Planococcus ficus (vine mealybug) feeding on fruits, berries, vegetables and herbs in greenhouses and plastic tunnels, and on indoor plants. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority, therefore, asked the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food and Environment to perform a risk assessment of the product. Occurrence and distribution in Norway: No observations of Anagyrus vladimiri have been reported from Norway. Potential for establishment and spread: VKM assesses that Anagyrus vladimiri will not be able to establish and spread in Norway under current conditions due to the absence of host organisms and too low winter temperatures, even in the warmest parts of the country. Potential effects on biodiversity: VKM assesses that Anagyrus vladimiri will not affect biodiversity in Norway, as there are currently no known native hosts for the wasp to parasitize. Taxonomic challenges that may affect the risk assessment: Anagyrus vladimiri belongs to the wasp family Encyrtidae, a family that includes the genus Anagyrus, many of which have quite tangled taxonomic histories. Individuals of what is now known as Anagyrus vladimiri were for many years identified as belonging to Anagyrus pseudococci. Anagyrus pseudococci and A. vladimiri are members of a complex of nearly indistinguishable species that are informally referred to as the Anagyrus pseudococci complex: A. pseudococci, A. vladimiri, A. kamali, A. dactylopii, A. kivuensis, and A. callidus. These species have been used for biological control of various mealybug species. Should incorrectly identified Anagyrus be imported to Norway, there would be no consequences for biological diversity, since the other species in the Anagyrus pseudococci complex are also host specific to mealybug genera that are not found in the Norwegian fauna, and they are physiologically unfit for the current Norwegian climate.

Potato production is hindered by soil degradation and nematode infestation. Mineral fertilizers and synthetic nematicides are costly and cause negative impacts on humans and the environment, while organic fertilizers are less effective for soil health and nematode management. This study demonstrates the contribution of black soldier fly frass fertilizer (BSFFF) in nematode suppression and potato productivity when compared to commercial mineral fertilizer, organic fertilizer (SAFI), and nematicide. The on-farm experiments consisted of eight treatments: BSFFF, SAFI, BSFFF+5%chitin, NPK+nematicide, 50%BSFFF+50%NPK, 50%SAFI+50%NPK, 50%BSFFF+5% chitin+50%NPK, and control (unfertilized soil). Results revealed that all fertilizer treatments significantly increased potato growth, number of tubers (34 – 61%), and tuber yield (20 – 72%) relative to the control. Application of BSFFF+5% chitin produced 9 – 28% higher tubers per plant compared to other treatments. Over 26% higher tuber yield was achieved using BSFFF+5% chitin compared to NPK+nematicide treatment. Soil amendment with BSFFF+5% chitin caused 5–35% higher reduction in the number of cysts per 200 g soil-1 compared to NPK+nematicide and SAFI treatments. The same treatment reduced the PCN reproduction rate by 20% and 75% compared to NPK + nematicide and SAFI, respectively. Both BSFFF and NPK+nematicide treatments achieved comparable suppression of the number of eggs and infective juveniles (J2) per cyst-1 and eggs g-1 of soil. However, BSFFF+5% chitin reduced the number of eggs and J2 per cyst-1 and eggs g-1 of soil by 55–92% compared to SAFI. Our findings demonstrate that chitin-fortified BSFFF can significantly contribute to potato cyst nematode suppression and boost potato yields in smallholder farming systems, thus, making it a promising and sustainable alternative to commercial fertilizers and nematicides. Adopting this regenerative and multipurpose fertilizer will reduce reliance on synthetic fertilizers and nematicides, which are costly and harmful to the environment and human health.

The phenylpropanoid pathway, regulated by transcription factors of the MYB family, produces secondary metabolites that play important roles in fertilization and early phase of fruit development. The MYB46 transcription factor is a key regulator of secondary cell wall structure, lignin and flavonoid biosynthesis in many plants, but little is known about its activity in flowers and berries in F. vesca. For functional analysis of FvMYB46, we designed a CRISPR-Cas9 construct with an endogenous F. vesca-specific U6 promoter for efficient and specific expression of two gRNAs targeting the first exon of FvMYB46. This generated mutants with an in-frame 81-bp deletion of the first conserved MYB domain or an out-of-frame 82-bp deletion potentially knocking out gene function. In both types of mutant plants, pollen germination and fruit set were significantly reduced compared to wild type. Transcriptomic analysis of flowers revealed that FvMYB46 positively regulates the expression of genes involved in processes like xylan biosynthesis and metabolism, homeostasis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the phenylpropanoid pathway, including secondary cell wall biosynthesis and flavonoid biosynthesis. Genes regulating carbohydrate metabolism and signalling were also deregulated, suggesting that FvMYB46 might regulate the crosstalk between carbohydrate metabolism and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. In the FvMYB46-mutant flowers, the flavanol and flavan-3-ol contents, especially epicatechin, quercetin-glucoside and kaempferol-3-coumaroylhexoside, were reduced, and we observed a local reduction in the lignin content in the anthers. Together, these results suggest that FvMYB46 controls fertility and efficient fruit set by regulating the cell wall structure, flavonoid biosynthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, and sugar and ROS signalling in flowers and early fruit development in F. vesca.
