B. A network of state, county, federal, and public entities to evaluate risks, conduct

surveys, and manage cooperative pest programs. Illinois uses its state CAPS committee as a basis for the groundwork of the CAPS

program. Member of the committee actively meet and discuss potential risks to the state and look at the benefits of different surveys. The surveys are conducted with the aid of the Illinois Department of Agriculture and USDA-APHIS-PPQ. The CAPS program also reaches out to state and private groups, industry representatives, and municipalities for specific surveys.

Also aiding in determining invasive pest risk for Illinois is the State Pest Analysis of Risk Committee (SPARC). This group of representatives (composed of USDA-APHIS-PPQ, DHA-CBP, state & local cooperators, and private industry stakeholders) evaluates potential invasive pests.

C. Surveys for selected harmful or economically significant non-native plant pests and

weeds, including exotic pests, pests of export significance, and/or pests not known to occur in the U.S.

The following surveys are conducted as Tier II surveys: 1. Grape Commodity Survey, page 13. D. NAPIS entry and management: presence/absence data at county level resolution for

target pests and others approved for NAPIS entry. NAPIS data will be entered for Tier II surveys. NAPIS data will also be entered for surveys conducted by the Illinois Department of

Agriculture and USDA-APHIS PPQ as follows: 1. Emerald Ash Borer

The Illinois Department of Agriculture and USDA-APHIS-PPQ worked cooperatively on the emerald ash borer purple trap survey in 2011. The goal of this survey was to determine the spread and dispersal of the emerald ash borer in Illinois. Purple traps were deployed in a grid survey as well as targeting high risk sites.

2. Gypsy Moth

The gypsy moth trapping program in Illinois is a cooperative effort between the Illinois Department of Agriculture and USDA-APHIS-PPQ. The goal of this survey is to determine the spread and dispersal of the gypsy moth in Illinois. Illinois is considered a transition state and is part of the Slow the Spread program. Illinois Department of Agriculture placed traps in the STS area. USDA-APHIS-PPQ heads the Detection Trapping placing traps in central and southern Illinois counties. NAPIS Data Summary:

3. Karnal Bunt

The Karnal Bunt survey was conducted by USDA-APHIS-PPQ during the summer following the national karnal bunt survey protocol. The purpose of this survey was to determine the presence of karnal bunt in Illinois. All samples were negative for Karnal Bunt.

5. Exotic Wood Borer/Bark Beetle and Sirex Woodwasp

USDA-APHIS-PPQ surveyed high-risk SWPM sites according to survey guidelines and protocols. At each location, three Lindgren funnel traps were placed utilizing three different lures (Phero-Tech exotic bark beetle lure, alpha-pinene, and high-release ethanol). Targeted areas in the state included Chicago, the Quad Cities, and East St. Louis. Traps were fitted with dry collection baskets and vapona killing strips or using the wet-trap option with low toxicity antifreeze. They were checked and serviced biweekly for the duration of the survey.


At the time this report was submitted, all samples had yet to be identified (awaiting results from USDA identifier).

6. Interceptions and non-targets submitted to the NAPIS database.

In addition to results from formal surveys conducted by USDA-APHIS-PPQ, the Illinois Department of Agriculture, the Illinois Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey Program, and other cooperators, invasive species (non-target finds and interceptions) were also entered into the NAPIS database.

• The Illinois SSC, PSS, and University of Illinois fruit/vegetable specialist will identify potential survey sites during winter 2010/2011. This list will serve as a starting point to best optimize travel and survey sites when determining final cooperators. Some sites may be substituted for others that better fit into survey, based on location or risk. Done. A list of potential sites was started in winter 2011. Sites will be finalized in mid April before trapping begins.

II. Survey Report

A. Survey Methodology Implement a program to monitor for the presence of the target species utilizing a focused approach that employs a variety of standard detection practices, including pheromone trapping, visual surveys, and laboratory analysis of samples. Twenty five vineyards were surveyed representing different growing regions of the state. Two sets of three pheromone traps of each type were deployed at each vineyard or grower site. The traps were monitored twice monthly by a seasonal assistant who removed trap bottoms, and replaced lures or traps as needed. Trap contents were screened by the SSC and the seasonal assistant and suspect specimens were submitted to taxonomic services for further verification. Any positive identification were to be entered into the NAPIS database according to standard protocols for data entry. Visual inspections of the vineyards or grower fields were carried out by the seasonal assistant with training from the SSC to complement pheromone trapping for the target species. Suspect species which were captured and screened by the SSC and the seasonal assistant for possible submission to taxonomic services. Any positive identification were to be entered into the NAPIS database according to standard protocols for data entry. In addition, the seasonal assistant and SSC inspected vines during the month of August for signs and symptoms of Pierce’s Disease, which consist of leaf scorch, naked petioles (“matchsticking”), and green islands. Approximately ten symptomatic leaves and a small piece of cane were selected from vines which show all three symptoms and submitted for PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) analysis to determine whether Pierce’s Disease is present or absent. Samples were sent to the AgDia. In September, a sample containing approximately ten symptomatic leaves in various stages of growth was collected at two different locations in targeted vineyards and sent to AgDia using PCR. Positive samples were to be sent to other laboratories for additional confirmation.


B. Rationale underlying survey methodology Illinois’ grape and wine industry has a rich and important history; winemaking in Illinois dates back to the 1800’s. However, the majority of current vineyards and wineries are relatively new. In the last 15 years, nearly 85% of Illinois’ vineyards and wineries have been established. In the last 5 years, this number has nearly tripled. The grape industry in Illinois has a significant impact on the economics of Illinois’ specialty crops. In 2007, it contributed approximately $319 million of total economic value to the state. This number is undoubtedly higher in recent years given the increase in vineyards and wineries as well as the increase in agritourism. As with any commodity there are several pests that can potentially affect grape production. Included in these potential pests are several invasive species that while not currently not found in Illinois, could greatly impact this industry. The summer fruit tortrix and false codling moth have wide host ranges that include grapes, but they are also major pests of other hosts, such as fruit trees and fields crops. Both of these industries are important to Illinois agriculture. The European grapevine berry moth, recently found in California, is also a concern of grape growers. As is the Silver Y moth that was recently found in Pennsylvania. These two pests most recently found in the U.S. are potentially devastating pests of grapes with very wide host ranges. Given their recent occurrences, it would be of the best interest of the state to include these in this commodity survey. Both Pierce’s Disease and Phytoplasma Yellows pose a large risk to plant health. Determining their presence/absence in Illinois will also be a benefit to the grape industry.

C. Survey Dates: April - September, 2011.

D. Taxonomic Services SSC Estes will conduct all pre-screening of traps. If suspected targets are found, final confirmation of identification will be determined by national identifiers for new state and county records.

E. Benefits and Results of Survey

The cooperator seeks to conduct a cooperative agriculture pest survey program aimed at the early detection of invasive grape commodity pests. We propose to conduct this survey in two parts. The first part of the survey would consist of a trapping network and visual surveys coordinated by SSC Estes targeting summer fruit tortrix moth, European grapevine moth, silver Y moth, and false codling moth.


The second part of the survey will consist of plant samples and visual survey targeting Australian grapevine yellows and Pierce’s disease.
