Quick Bibliography Series Bibliographies in the Quick Bibliography Series of the National
Agricultural Library, are intended primarily for
current awareness, and as the title of the series implies, are not
indepth exhaustive bibliographies on any given subject. However,
the citations are a substantial resource for recent investigations
on a given topic. They also serve the purpose of bringing the
literature of agriculture to the interested user who, in many
cases, could not access it by any other
means. The bibliographies are derived from computerized on-line
searches of the AGRICOLA data base. Timeliness of topic and
evidence of extensive interest are the selection criteria.
The author/searcher determines the purpose, length, and search
strategy of the Quick Bibliography. Information regarding
these is available upon request from the author/searcher.

Abstract: Behavior of the weevil Neochetina eichhorniae
Warner, a specialist herbivore, varied with leaf age of
waterhyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms-Laubach
[Pontederiaceae]). In the field, adult feeding decreased as the
leaves aged. Accrued feeding damage on 8-d-old leaves was only
about 60% of the sum of two respective sets of 4-d-old leaves.
Likewise, on 40-d-old leaves the accrued feeding
damage was only 21% of that from 10 successive 4-d-old sets.
Laboratory studies confirmed a preference for the youngest
tissue available and discounted the influence of leaf
arrangement. The weevils preferred unfurling bud leaves by a 5-fold
margin over open immature leaves. Olfactometer studies showed a
2.4-fold greater attraction to young leaves than to mature leaves.
Further, adult feeding exhibited under-
dispersed patterns on young leaves but random distributions on old
leaves. In contrast, a generalist, the yellow woollybear, Spilosoma
virginica (F.), preferred mature waterhyacinth
leaves and 14-d-old larvae weighed 85% less when provided
young leaves instead of mature leaves. The youngest leaves
were higher in N, P, K, and Mg, but low in Ca and Mn compared with
older leaves. Total phenolics (compounds reduced by Folin reagent)
were also highest in young tissue, but analyses of leaf extracts by
thin-layer chromatography and high-
performance liquid chromatography showed lowest concentrations of
phenolic compounds in the youngest leaves. These data
suggest that natural plant products, not necessarily
phenolics, attract the weevils to young tissue and stimulate them
to feed, especially at sites of previous injury. These constituents
also might deter generalists like S. virginica, forcing them to
consume only mature foliage.

Abstract: Field observations indicated that Euphorbia
prostrata strongly interferes with Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.
Analysis of some physical and chemical soil factors indicated that
competition was not the dominant factor of that
interference. Soil collected from under E. prostrata stands was
very inhibitory to seed germination and seeding growth of some of
the test species including C. dactylon. This suggests the presence
of inhibitory compounds in soil of E. prostrata stands. Subsequent
experiments showed that aqueous extract, decaying residues, and
root exudates of E. prostrata were
inhibitory to most of the test species including C. dactylon. Thus,
it appears that allelopathy is the major component of the
interference, with competition probably accentuating its effect. It
also was found that allelopathy is an important
component of the interference by E. prostrata against
Amaranthus retro-flexus, Medicago sativa, and Gossypium
hirsutum.

Abstract: Methods for evaluating the efficacy of potential
classical biocontrol agents were outlined for a model
biocontrol agent-weed-crop system. A proposed biocontrol agent (the
fiddleneck flower gall nematode), its weed host (coast fiddleneck),
and wheat were used as representative organisms. An additive
experimental design (inverse linear model) was
used. Regression of the reciprocal of the overage plant
biomass of each species onto the density of itself and the
other plant species yielded competitive indices that measure the
competitive ability of the plants. The results of 2 yr of field
experiments revealed a dramatic change in the
competitive interaction between fiddleneck and wheat due to the
nematode. During the 1986-87 season in the absence of the nematode,
fiddleneck intraspecific competition was 33 times stronger than
interspecific competition with wheat. In the
presence of the nematode, intra- and interspecific competition of
fiddleneck were nearly equal. Only the coefficients that measure
interspecific competition changed significantly in the presence of
the nematode while the coefficients for
intraspecific competition did not.

Abstract: Path analysis was used to assess the efficacy of the
fiddleneck flower gall nematode as a weed biocontrol agent of coast
fiddleneck in competition with wheat during 2 yr of field
experiments. The path analysis revealed that the number of
inflorescences/plant for fiddleneck and the number of
heads/plant for wheat were the most important yield components that
determine fecundity and seed yield. The density of
fiddleneck had a much greater impact on the yield components of
fiddleneck than did the density of wheat or the nematode rate of
inoculation. The nematode had its greatest negative impact on the
number of seeds/flower of fiddleneck and its
greatest positive impact on the number of heads/plant of
wheat. Path analysis predicts that a biocontrol agent that has a
large negative direct effect on the number of
inflorescences/plant for fiddleneck would be more efficacious in
decreasing fecundity and seed yield than an agent that only impacts
the number of flowers/ inflorescence, seeds/flower, or
biomass/seed.

Abstract: The use of plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of
aquatic plants has only just begun to be considered as a major area
of research in the United States. Prior to the 1970's
virtually no work was being conducted in this specialized
area. Since that time the US Army Engineers (USAE) has been given
the added responsibility of maintaining weed-free
waterways by non-chemical alternatives. The Biomanagement Team at
the USAE Waterways Experiment Station and the University of Florida
have established programs to study biological control of aquatic
weeds using plant pathogens. Hundreds of
microorganisms have been evaluated for their potential as
biological control agents of waterhyacinth, alligatorweed,
eurasian watermilfoil, hydrilla, algae, and numerous other
aquatic weeds. As a result, several fungal and viral diseases of
these troublesome aquatic plants have been identified.
Information will be presented on current efforts in the
development of these plant pathogens for aquatic weed
management.

Abstract: The weevil Trichobaris bridwelli Barber is a
natural enemy of jimsonweed (Datura stramonium L.) in the
southern United States. The temporal distribution of all life
stages showed that T. bridwelli is bivoltine in central Texas and
overwinters principally in the adult stage inside the seed capsules
of jimsonweed. Females oviposited in the leaves,
flowers, and capsules. Subsequent development occurred both in the
stems and capsules of its host plant. All life stages of T.
bridwelli were attacked by hymenopterous parasitoids;
Anaphes sp. and Microctonus sp. are new host records. In the
laboratory, adult females lived an average of 16.1 wk and
deposited an average of 324 eggs. Development in the
laboratory required 37.8 d: egg 5.9 d, larval stage 20.2 d,
prepupal period about 3 d, and pupal stage 8.7 d. The
intrinsic rate of increase (r(m)) of T. bridwelli was
calculated from laboratory life table data to be 0.41 at 24 degrees
C. T. bridwelli was evaluated for its potential
effectiveness as a biological control agent of jimsonweed and
possibly chinese thornapple, Datura ferox L. Although T.
bridwelli did not complete development on a critical test
plant (tobacco) under laboratory conditions, extensive host
specificity testing should be conducted to determine the
limits of its host range.

control; Biotechnology; Genetic engineering
Abstract: Plant pathogens have rarely been successfully used as
biocontrol agents of weeds. One reason for this is that
they are usually not lethal enough at low concentrations. In
addition, they are usually not host specific. Our approach has been
to mutate lethal broad host-range pathogens to obtain
isolates that are still lethal to target hosts, but reduced in host
range, survival capacity, or otherwise biologically
contained. Two such types of biological containment are
presented in a fungus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, a lethal
pathogen of 40 different weeds.

Abstract: Rhizobacteria were isolated from seedlings of seven
economically important weeds and characterized for potential
phytopathogenicity, effects on seedling growth, and antibiosis to
assess the possibility of developing deleterious
rhizobacteria as biological control agents. The abundance and
composition of rhizobacteria varied among the different weed
species. For example, fluorescent pseudomonads represented
from 11 to 42% of the total rhizobacterial populations from
jimsonweed and lambsquarters, respectively. Other bacteria
frequently isolated were nonfluorescent pseudomonads, Erwinia
herbicola, Alcaligenes spp., and Flavobacterium spp. Only 18% of
all isolates were potentially phytopathogenic, based on an
Escherichia coli indicator bioassay. However, the proportion of
isolates that inhibited growth in seedling assays ranged from 35 to
65% depending on the weed host. Antibiosis was most prevalent among
isolates of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp., the activity of which was
due to siderophore production in over 75% of these isolates.
Overall, rhizobacterial isolates
exhibited a complex array of properties that were inconsistent with
accepted definitions for plant growth-promoting and
deleterious rhizobacteria. It is suggested that for
development of effective biological control agents for weed
control, deleterious rhizobacteria must be screened directly on
host seedlings and must possess several properties
including high colonizing ability, specific phytotoxin
production, and resistance or tolerance to antibiotics
produced by other rhizosphere microorganisms, and they must either
synthesize or utilize other bacterial siderophores.

Abstract: The gall wasp Trichilogaster acaciaelongifoliae
Froggatt (Pteromalidae) was released at 136 sites throughout the
distribution area of the weed Acacia longifolia (Andrews) Willdenow
in the Cape Province and Natal, South Africa. Each site was
monitored annually to determine whether the wasp
would establish and to determine its effectiveness where it had
established. T. acaciaelongifoliae did establish
throughout the range of A. longifolia. In the cooler coastal
regions of the southwestern Cape and southern Cape, the wasp
established well and levels of infestation were consistently high.
However, in the hotter inland valleys and west coast of the
southwestern Cape Province, and in Natal, establishment was poor
and infestation levels were consistently low. In
Australia, A. longifolia occurs naturally along the coastal regions
of southern Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and eastern
South Australia. However, the T. acaciaelongifoliae individuals
released in South Africa originate only from the coastal regions of
New South Wales and Victoria, and Tasmania. Climatically, these
areas correspond most closely to the
regions in which the wasp is most successful in South Africa. The
method whereby the insects were released in South Africa, and the
methods for evaluating the degree of establishment and subsequent
infestation levels at each release site, are
described.

Colonization of a submersed aquatic plant, eurasian water

Descriptors: Myriophyllum spicatum; Aquatic weeds; Fungi;

Abstract: A laboratory assay to assess colonization of a
submersed aquatic plant, Eurasian water milfoil (Myriophyllum
spicatum), by fungi was developed and used to evaluate the
colonization potential of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides,
Acremonium curvulum, Cladosporium herbarum, Aureobasidium
pullulans, a Paecilomyces sp., and an unidentified sterile, septate
fungus. Stem segments of plants were first immersed in suspensions
of fungal propagules for 24 h and then washed to remove all but th
tightly attached component of the
population. Inoculationd was followed by two growth cycles of 3
days each. At the start of each cycle, washed plants were
transferred to a mineral salts medium to provide an
opportunity for the attached fungal populations to grow. After each
growth period, plants were again washed, and fungal
populations in the medium (nonattached), loosely attached and
tightly attached to the plant, and within the plant
(endophytic) were assayed by dilution plating. The fungi
differed in the extent to which they attached to water milfoil and
in their ability to grow in association with it. There
were relatively few significant differences among the tightly
attached fungal populations after 24 h, but growth of the
better colonizers led to a greater number of significant
differences after 4 and 7 days. In addition, the better
colonizers showed sustained regrowth of loosely and
nonattached fungal propagules in the face of intermittent
removal by washing. A milfoil pathogen, C gloeosporioides, was the
only endophytic colonizer; it was also among the best
epiphytic colonizers but was not demonstrably better than A.
curvulum, a fungus commonly found as an epiphyte on
watermilfoil. The yeastlike hyphomycete Aureobasidium
pullulans was the only fungus that consistently failed to
establish an increasing population on the plant.

Abstract: Four culture systems were compared: (1) dialysis
membranes (MF), (2) liquid shake flasks (LF), (3) solid
particles with humidity control (SFC), and (4) solid particles
without humidity control (SFE). A Plackett-Burman fractional
factorial experimental design was employed with 10 total
variables. Eight media components, plus two levels of
inoculum, were tested in all systems. Other variables were
light vs. dark for MF, agitation level for LF, vermiculite vs. rice
hulls for SFC, and particle size for SFE. High yeast
extract (1 g/l) produced more (P < 0.01) spores than low (0.3 g/l)
for all culture systems. Carbohydrate (sucrose) at 20 g/l produced
more spores than at 40 g/l for SFC. MgSO4.7H2O at 2 g/l was better
than none for LF and SFC. For MF, LF, SFC, and SFE, respectively,
the overall average numbers of spores per ml of medium were 0.53,
0.72, 0.28, and 0.073 X 10(7), while the highest numbers of spores
were 1.25, 2.75, 1.52, and 0.46 X 10(7). Thus, the method of
production cannot be decided at this stage but must await further
studies of recovery and
storage.

Abstract: Fungal spore infectivity on leaves is a function of
environmental factors (duration of dew point humidity,
temperature), the defense mechanisms of the host plant, and fungal
pathogenicity. The inoculum threshold of thousands of spores per
square centimeter of leaf surface or tens to
hundreds of spores per droplet has been expected and accepted.
Evidence is presented that the high threshold concept does not hold
with Alternaria cassaie and A. crassa, as one spore per 2-
microliter droplet was sufficient to infect plants of Cassia
obtusifolia and Datura stramonium, respectively, when the
droplet was an invert emulsion containing a 1-microliter
mixture of oils and waxes on the outside and 1 microliter of water,
sodium alginate, and conidia on the inside. The
intensity of infection always was enhanced by the emulsion. Even a
culture of A. cassiae that lost its infectivity, giving only a
hypersensitive response when applied in water, became infective in
the invert emulsion.

Abstract: A linear programming model was used to determine which
crop rotations and weed management systems result in the highest
net farm income for each of three farm sizes (120,
240, and 480 hectares) under alternative tillage systems. Test plot
data for the years 1981 through 1988 from the Purdue
University Agronomy Farm, which has highly productive, well-drained
soils, were analyzed. Net incomes for no-till tillage systems on
all farms in the model were consistently and
significantly lower than incomes for moldboard and chisel plow
tillage systems due to slightly lower yields and substantially
higher herbicide costs. Generally, net farm incomes were
slightly higher with a moldboard plow versus chisel plow
tillage system. Also, as farm size increased, per hectare net
incomes increased. About 80% of the time under moldboard or chisel
plow tillage systems, the model chose as optimal the lowest of
three herbicide application rates. A corn/soybean rotation was
chosen as optimal on 56% of the farm area
analyzed, versus 25% for continuous corn and 13% for a
corn/soybean/wheat rotation.

Abstract: The effectiveness of Liothrips urichi Karny
introduced to control the noxious weed Clidemia hirta (L.) D. Don
was studied at three sites on Oahu, Hawaii. Vegetative C. hirta
infested with L. urichi showed greater mortality after 1 mo and
significantly shorter internode diameters among the
survivors at 4 mo than uninfested plants. L. urichi had no
effect on plant height in the field but stunted the growth of young
potted C. hirta in greenhouse studies and caused a
significant increase in terminal leaf drop. No effect on
production of floral buds, flowers, or berries occurred at any
field site over 11 mo. L. urichi was restricted to sunny or partly
sunny sites and never occurred in heavily shaded areas. Higher
thrips infestations occurred during the fall and winter and lower
infestations during the summer. Percentage of
damaged tips also fluctuated seasonally, but the degree of
damage to individual leaves was not seasonal.

Abstract: The below-ground effects of weeds (Amaranthus
retroflexus L., Chenopodium album L., Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.,
Digitaria sanguinalis L., Setaria viridis L., Panicum
dichotomiflorum Michx.) and increased soil moisture on damage to
peanut pods by southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica
undecimpunctata howardi Barber, was investigated in a 2-yr
field and greenhouse study. Field experiments demonstrated
that weedy areas had less pod damage overall and higher
predator numbers than nonweedy areas. However, increased soil
moisture, which increased southern corn rootworm oviposition and
egg and larval survival, confounded the results.
Greenhouse studies showed that three broadleaf species and
three grass species were not as good food sources as peanuts for
southern corn rootworm larvae. Although the presence of weeds
growing with peanuts did not lower larval survival,
weeds did significantly (P less than or equal to 0.05) slow larval
developmental rate. In greenhouse studies, damage to peanut pods
was approximately 66% in peanut-only (control)
treatments, 55% in peanut + weed treatments, 32% in peanut
predator treatments, and 9% in peanut + weed + predator
treatments. The interaction of predators and weeds in lowering the
amount of damage caused by southern corn rootworm was
significant (P less than or equal to 0.05). Field and
greenhouse experiments demonstrated that at least two factors were
operating to reduce pest damage in this below-ground,
multispecies plant association. Predators and the structural
complexity of the weed-crop root association may be working
synergistically to reduce southern corn rootworm damage to
peanuts.

Abstract: The effects of herbivory by the Mormon cricket,
Anabrus simplex Haldeman (Orthoptera:Tettigoniidae), and
removal of sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) on
understory plant biomass production and cover were determined.
Averaged over a 3-yr period, 50-75% removal of sagebrush
resulted in an approximately 20% increase in summer understory
biomass production; understory plant cover was not affected by
sagebrusb removal. Mormon crickets, at densities of four and eight
crickets per square meter during a 5-wk period, did not
significantly affect understory plant biomass production but did
reduce forb and total vegetative cover. Mormon cricket
herbivory and sagebrush removal were independent with respect to
their effects on understory vegetation. Furthermore, the incomplete
removal of sagebrush did not affect the feeding
ecology of Mormon crickets. Analysis of cricket crop contents
suggested that sagebrush was fed upon predominantly; there was
little dietary overlap between crickets and cattle. As long as some
sagebrush is left intact (e.g., 25%), sagebrush control programs
are unlikely to influence Mormon cricket diet
selection or damage potential. Cover estimates, which are
commonly used by ranchers and rangeland managers to estimate forage
availability, provide deceptive assessments of cricket effects,
untimely perhaps leading to an undeserved reputation as a rangeland
pest.

Abstract: Weeds in a Louisiana sugarcane field increased the
abundance of arthropod prey and predators (including the
imported fire ant), and caused at least 25% less injury from
sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.). Weed competition,
however, reduced sugarcane biomass, stand density, and sugar
yields. Without insecticidal control of sugarcane borer, weedy
habitats were more profitable than weed-free habitats. Future study
on weed conservation in the furrows alone is suggested. Spring
aldicarb (nematicide-insecticide) applications reduced arthropod
prey, particularly stylet-feeding herbivorous
insects, for up to 10 wk, Regardless of weed cover, predator
densities on the soil surface, weeds, and cane stalks were
decreased by the nematicide, and percentage of internodes
injured by sugarcane borers increased by at least 19%.
Fenvalerate (insecticide) reduced predators and prey
arthropods on the soil surface and cane stalks, including
Solenopsis invicta Buren. Cicadellidae on cane foliage were reduced
by the insecticide, but the yellow sugarcane aphid, Sipha flava
(Forbes), was enhanced by 63%. Fenvalerate did
provide at least 70% protection against the sugarcane borer, with
ratoon crop sugar yields 8.7% greater than in the
insecticide-free regimes. A combination of weed and sugarcane borer
chemical control tactics was the most economically sound pest
management strategy.

Abstract: Phomopsis convolvulus Ormeno, a fungus, reduced
growth and regeneration of field bindweed under greenhouse
environments. Field bindweed seedlings at the cotyledon stage were
severely injured and killed (95% mortality) with 10(8) conidia/m2.
Three- to five-leaf seedlings (2 weeks old) were controlled when
inoculated with 10(9) conidia/m2 (70%
mortality; 98 and 89% reduction in dry weight of aboveground
biomass and roots, respectively). This inoculum density
reduced aboveground and root biomass, and adversely affected
regeneration of 4-week-old seedlings and established plants, but
few plants were killed. In controlled-environment studies, two
inoculations were superior (P = 0.02) to one inoculation in
reducing foliage aboveground of well-established seedlings (4 weeks
old). However, new shoots produced between the first and second
inoculation treatments were less diseased than
expected.

Abstract: Ceutorhynchus litura dispersed 9 km in 15 yr from its
point of release in 1972 with incident of infestation of Canada
thistle plants at one study site reaching 92% in 1987. Plants
generally survived larval feeding in the spring, but holes created
by departing larvae provided entrances for
arthropods, nematodes, and diseases. Subsequent mortality
rates were high for belowground Canada thistle shoots.
However, the number of new shoots from underground roots the
following spring usually offset the mortality that had been
indirectly caused by C. litura.

Abstract: The host specificity of Eustenopus villosus
(Boheman) was studied in the laboratory using field-collected
adults from Greece arid overwintered progeny of these adults. No-
choice and two-choice host specificity tests were carried out in
the laboratory. Thirty-four plant species, in addition to yellow
starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.) (as the
control) from Greece and the United States, were tested. Under no-
choice test conditions in the laboratory, adults showed to some
degree a rather broad feeding spectrum but with heaviest feeding on
yellow starthistle. Oviposition was restricted to some species in
the genus Centaurea, with heaviest oviposition on yellow
starthistle. Under two-choice conditions (test plant caged with
yellow starthistle control), oviposition occurred only on yellow
starthistle. The literature on field hosts and host specificity
tests indicate a high level of larval host specificity to yellow
starthistle. A laboratory study showed that the combined effects of
adult and larval feeding on
yellow starthistle can reduce seed production by 98.8% under
laboratory conditions; this also indicates that the species has
excellent potential as a biological control agent.
