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.
Copies of this bibliography may be made or used for
distribution without prior approval. The inclusion or
omission of a particular publication or citation may not be

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.

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.

saccharalis; Digitaria sanguinalis; Solenopsis invicta;

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.

Abstract: In field studies, 'Regal' sweet potato greatly
reduced yellow nutsedge growth when the two species were grown
together using standard cultural practices. At the end of the
growing season, yellow nutsedge shoot dry weight per m2, in plots
where the two species were planted together was less
than 10% of shoot weight in plots where nutsedge was grown
alone. Presence of yellow nutsedge did not markedly affect
sweet potato growth. When grown together in a greenhouse
experiment designed to minimize the competitive effects of
sweet potato on yellow nutsedge, yellow nutsedge growth was reduced
more than 50% by sweet potato 8 and 12 weeks after
planting. The most polar fraction of serially extracted sweet
potato periderm tissue was highly inhibitory to yellow
nutsedge root growth. These results indicate that sweet potato
interference with yellow nutsedge under field conditions is
partially due to allelopathy.

Abstract: Fungal weed pathogens (mycoherbicides) are
difficult to formulate into effective products because, as
living organisms, their viability must be preserved throughout
processing and storage. Furthermore, the pathogens, as
packaged in a final product, must be able to control weeds
after application under natural environmental conditions of
moisture and temperature. This overview of formulation and
application technology for microbial weed control describes the
current developmental status of experimental and
commercial products. A brief review of combinations of
mycoherbicides with chemical pesticides and beneficial insects is
included.

four fungi, Exserohilum turcicum (Et), Colletotrichum
graminicola (Cg), Gloeocercospora sorghi (Gs), and/or
Bipolaris halepense (Bh). Leaf injury from Et was the most
extensive. Johnsongrass was equally or more susceptible to
these fungi 7 days after emergence (DAE) than at 14, 21, or 28 DAE.
The greatest leaf injury, more than 90%, was induced by Et with 2
x 10(5) conidia/ml and a 24-h dew period. Sequential inoculation
with Et at 15 and 20 DAE resulted in injury to
more leaves than a single inoculation 15 DAE. No synergistic or
antagonistic effects were observed in combinations of Et with Gs or
Cg. Injury was limited to exposed leaves and
sheaths, injured seedlings resumed growth and developed new leaves.
Development of new leaves from inoculated plants was reduced by 30%
or less at 14 days after inoculation (DAI)
compared to uninoculated plants. Inoculation with Et or Bh was not
as effective as paraquat or sethoxydim, since treatment with both
herbicides resulted in seedling death. Seedling kill was not
observed in any fungal tests.

Abstract: Cultures of the fungus Chondrostereum purpureum
(Fr.) Pouzar were applied to cut surfaces of hardwood stumps
immediately after the trees were felled in late spring and
summer and the stumps monitored for fungus infection and
adventitious sprouting during the ensuing 2 years. Hardwood species
inoculated were red maple, sugar maple, yellow birth, paper birch,
pin cherry, trembling aspen, and beech. The
fungus was applied as wheat bran cultures in a mineral oil
slurry or by inverting petri dish cultures on the stump. All
treatments resulted in development of sporophores of the
fungus on the stump within 2 years and a concomitant
reduction, as compared to the uninoculated controls, of the number
of stump sprouts. The speed of stump invasion by the fungus and
reduction of sprouting varied both among and within species. The
feasibility of using this fungus as a biological control of
regrowth after stand cleaning is discussed.

control; Genetic variation
Abstract: Successful use of a fungal pathogen as a
bioherbicide is dependent on the genetic make-up of both the fungus
and its target weed. The genetic stability and
variability of each must be carefully considered prior to
commercial use. The weed host may consist of a genetically
heterogeneous population and vary in susceptibility to the
biocontrol agent within its geographic range. Fungal pathogens can
vary in several important characteristics such as
sporulation, virulence, host range, or tolerance to
environmental extremes. Specific examples will be used to
illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of genetic
variability in biological weed control.

Abstract: The major effort in developing pathogenic fungi
into potential mycoherbicides is aimed at increasing fungal
virulence to weeds without affecting crop selectivity.
Specific suppression of biosynthesis of a phytoalexin derived from
the shikimate pathway in Cassia obtusifolia L. by a
sublethal dose (50 micromolar) of glyphosate increased
susceptibility to the mycoherbicide Alternaria cassiae Jurair &
Khan. Glyphosate applied with conidia suppressed phytoalexin
synthesis beginning at 12 hours, but not an earlier period 8 to 10
hours after inoculation. The phytoalexin synthesis
elicited by fungal inoculation was also suppressed by
darkness. The magnitudes of virulence of the mycoherbicide in the
dark or with glyphosate in the light were both higher than after
inoculation in the light with the same concentration of conidia in
the absence of glyphosate. Five times less inoculum was needed to
cause disease symptoms when applied with
glyphosate than without. Glyphosate did not render A. cassiae
virulent on soybean (Glycine max), a crop related to the host.
These results suggest that a specific inhibition of a weed's
elicited defense response can be a safe way to enhance
virulence and improve the efficacy of the mycoherbicide.

Abstract: Greenhouse and field experiments were performed to
investigate diclofop rate and mowing height interactions on
goosegrass control and 'Tifgreen' and 'Tifdwarf' bermudagrass
tolerance. In greenhouse experiments, greatest goosegrass
control was achieved with diclofop when plants were maintained at
1.3 cm. Increased diclofop rates were required to suppress
goosegrass mowed higher than 1.3 cm or unmowed. Greater than 90%
goosegrass control was achieved with the combination of 1.3-cm
mowing height and 0.6 kg ai ha-1 of diclofop. In field experiments,
a minimum of 2 weeks was necessary for complete herbicidal
activity. Diclofop at 1.1 kg ha-1 provided >90%
control of goosegrass mowed between 1.9 to 2.5 cm. The
addition of nonionic surfactant (0.25% by vol) to diclofop did not
influence control. The addition of metribuzin (0.1 kg ai ha-1) to
diclofop resulted in initial increased control, but it was
transient. The addition of MSMA (2.2 kg ai ha-1) to
diclofop reduced goosegrass control an average of 18% compared to
diclofop treatments alone. Tifdwarf bermudagrass was more sensitive
to diclofop compared to Tifgreen. Seven to 14 days were required
for Tifdwarf to recover from initial injury.
This injury, although significant, was acceptable for
bermudagrass used for golf greens. Clipping weights following
treatment were also less for Tifdwarf than Tifgreen.

Abstract: Herbicides are used on crops and soils to control weeds
in various crop production systems. They may also affect soil
properties, plant pathogens and saprophytic
microorganisms, as well as the host or non-target host plants.
These effects normally have little influence on crop growth and
generally prove beneficial. However, it has been shown
that several herbicides can predispose crop plants to
increased disease and as the use of herbicides on various
crops increase it is important to evaluate the nature of
herbicide-disease predisposing interaction. Procedures may
then be taken to avoid or correct problems of detrimental
interactions between herbicides and plant diseases. This paper
explores the possibility of exploiting these interactions to
improve weed control by mycoherbicide or
mycoherbicide-herbicide combinations.

Abstract: Spurgia esulae Gagne (= Bayeria capitigena Bremi of
Solinas & Pecora), a multivoltine gall midge recorded on
Euphorbia esula in Italy, was selected as a candidate for the
biological control of leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.
"complex") in North America. Its potential host range was
studied in 1982 at Rome, Italy, and in 1984 at Albany, Calif.,
using populations associated with Euphorbia esula from San
Rossore near Pisa, Italy. Of 56 plant species or varieties in 22
families tested at the Rome laboratory, the midge
oviposited and completed its life cycle only on plants in the genus
Euphorbia (subgenus Esula). In the tests conducted in Rome,
complete development occurred on five populations of
North American leafy spurge (Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota,
Oregon, and Saskatchewan) and on European E. peplus L., E.
cyparissias L., E. myrsinites L., E. characias L., E.
serrulata Thuillier, and on E. lathyris L. from Chico and
Castro Valley, Calif. Of 12 native North American Euphorbia species
tested at Albany in 1984, four species in the subgenus Esula (E.
incisa Engelmann, E. palmeri Engelmann, E. robusta (Engelmann)
Small, and E. spathulata De Lamarck) supported the complete
development of S. esulae. The restricted host range suggested use
of this midge as a biological control agent
against leafy spurge in North America. Releases of S. esulae were
made in Montana in 1985 and in North Dakota in 1986; this species
became established in both states.

Abstract: More than 15 species of capitulum-feeding insects
colonized a randomized garden plot of yellow starthistle,
globe artichoke, cultivated safflower, and Cirsium creticum (Lam.)
D'Urv. in northern Greece in 1985. Among these insects were seven
potential biocontrol agents of yellow starthistle: the cynipid
wasp, Isocolus sp.; the tephritid flies,
Chaetorellia australis Hering, Terellia uncinata White, and
Urophora sirunaseva (Hering); and the curculionid beetles,
Bangasternus orientalis (Capiomont), Eustenopus villosus
(Boheman), and Larinus curtus (Hochhuth). These potential
agents only attacked yellow starthistle plants, which were
grown from seed collected in Greece and the United States.
This host specificity data was used to justify the subsequent
release of C. australis and E. villosus in the United States. The
relative intensity of interspecific interactions among
capitulum-feeding insects of yellow starthistle is discussed, as
well as the potential effectiveness of E. villosus as a
biocontrol agent. This study points to the usefulness of the open
field test in host specificity determination of insects for
biological control of weeds.

Abstract: The efficacy of Bangasternus orientalis Capiomont

over a 2-yr period. Host plant and weevil phenology were
delayed at the high elevation site. Consequently, the
initiation of secondary flower buds (high elevation site) was
extended well into November, long after the ovipositing adult
weevil population had expired. More than 50% of the egg-
bearing test heads did not become infested with mature pupae
because of larval mortality. After seed reduction by the
weevil, 70% of the seeds remained in the test heads. Our data
suggest that B. orientalis appears to be ineffective by itself as
a biological control agent of yellow starthistle in
California.

Abstract: The knapweed nematode Subanguina picridis is a
foliar parasite that is of interest as a biological weed
control agent of Russian knapweed. Attempts were made to
culture the nematode in callus, excised roots and in shoots derived
from roots of Russian knapweed. In callus tissues, the nematode
developed from second-stage juvenile to adult but
failed to reproduce; it developed only to the fourth stage in
excised roots. However, S. picridis was successfully cultured in
vitro in shoots derived from roots. The nematode induced galls on
the leaves, petioles, and shoot apices and developed and reproduced
inside the galls. Gibberellic acid increased the development rate
of the nematode and promoted the
formation of males. This is the first gnotobiotic culture of a
nematode used for biological weed control.

Abstract: Systemic aecial infections of secondary Canada
thistle shoots were observed 4-6 weeks after inoculation of root
cuttings with teliospores of Puccinia punctiformis.
Pretreatment with a stimulatory thistle root extract sometimes
increased infection. Inoculation of dormant buds was the most
effective way to induce infection of root cuttings. Aqueous soil
extracts from potted Canada thistle plants stimulated
teliospore germination. The active component in the soil was
soluble in hexane, volatile, and was similar in nature to the
hexane extract of steam-distilled Canada thistle roots.
Optimum temperature range for stimulated teliospore
germination on 1% agar was 16-20 C at 7 days.

temperature; Inoculum; Spore germination
Abstract: Septoria silybi infected milk thistle (Silybum
marianum) frequently when daylight was provided during high
humidity inoculation periods but rarely when light was
excluded, because of the pathogen's requirement for open
stomata to penetrate thistle leaves. When stomata were
artificially closed with abscissic acid, S. silybi failed to
penetrate even during daylight. Conversely, the application of
fusicoccin opened stomata on thistle leaves kept in the dark and
permitted penetration. Hyphae of S. silybi encountered
stomata as frequently on milk thistle leaves held in the dark as on
those exposed to daylight. Hydrotropism, the directed growth of
germ tubes and branches toward stomata, was not
exhibited by S. silybi. Superficial hyphae reached or crossed
stomatal pores with similar frequency, irrespective of whether
humidity gradients might have existed at such sites or not. S.
silybi infected milk thistle after periodic (8 hr/day for 6 days)
or prolonged (continuously for 2.5 days) postinoculation dyring.
The amount of disease occurring on plants exposed to periodic
drying was comparable to those incubated continuously at high
humidity. Severity of disease resulting from
inoculation with a given number of spores of S. silybi
increased proportionally with leaf age. Whereas S. silybi
infected young and old leaves of milk thistle with similar
efficiency, the rate of lesion expansion was 2.5 times higher on
old leaves than on young leaves.

Abstract: Conidia of Colletotrichum truncatum (NRRL 13737) were
produced in semidefined, liquid media, with total carbon
concentrations of 4 g/L and carbon/nitrogen ratios of 80:1, 30:1,
and 10:1. Conidia produced in 10:1 medium were longer and thinner
than conidia from 30:1 and 80:1 media, and a
higher proportion contained two, rather than one, nuclei per
conidium. After either 6 or 12 h on cellophane membranes, a greater
proportion of conidia produced in the 10:1 medium had germinated
compared with conidia from 30:1 and 80:1 media.
Germination on attached leaves of Sesbania exaltata was
greatest with conidia from 10:1 medium when assayed after
either 6 or 24 h. Equality of variance tests implied that the leaf
environment had a greater influence on the germination of conidia
from 30:1 medium than conidia from 80:1 or 10:1 media. All conidial
treatments caused losses in biomass of seedlings of S. exaltata.
Conidia produced in 10:1 or 30:1 media induced greater reduction in
shoot height, and conidia from 10:1
medium induced greater reduction in shoot dry weight than did
conidia from 80:1 medium. Further research on increasing the
efficacy of mycoherbicide conidia by modifying the
phyllosphere environment and the nutritional conditions of the
conidiation medium is needed.

Abstract: The key to managing Arizona chaparral depends on
creating and maintaining brush-free or savanna-like habitats. Brush
control using fire, chemicals, and mechanical methods has been
tested previously; but limited information is
available on goats. This study evaluated the effect of 4 goat-
stocking levels in a short duration grazing system and
mechanical brush crushing on chaparral shrubs, herbaceous
vegetation, litter, and soils. After 4-1/2 years, percent
total shrub cover was lower (P<0.05) on paddocks stocked at 1.4,
2.4, and 4.2 Spanish goats/ha (35, 39, and 38%,
respectively) compared to unstocked controls (51%). Crushing brush
increased the effectiveness of goats; mean total shrub cover was
lower (P<0.05) on paddocks where brush was crushed vs not crushed
(33 and 50%, respectively). Shrubs least
preferred by goats were not affected, while preferred browse was
impacted at all stocking levels. Goat stocking and brush treatments
did not affect perennial herbs, while annuals were generally
increased by soil disturbance. Less litter (P<0.05) accumulated
under shrubs subjected to heavy stocking levels compared to
unbrowsed paddocks. Concentrations of N and P in the soil were also
affected (P<0.05) under desert ceanothus (Ceanothus greggii Gray)
where the soil bulk density was also increased (P<0.05). While
goats can reduce total shrub cover, problems may result. Perennial
herbaceous vegetation did not respond. Shrubs preferred by goats
were also preferred by
native deer. Reduced forage diversity and nutritional stress could
result if these species were eliminated from the stand. Also,
trampling disturbance by goats affected nitrogen
accumulation in the litter and soil, but more importantly
heavy browsing may eliminate nitrogen-fixing shrubs.

breeding host in southern Europe. Twelve of these species are newly
reported to feed on the plant. A high percentage of
these species are in the orders Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, and
Diptera and are monophagous endophages associated with the
capitulum. The guilds associated with yellow starthistle in
southern Europe consist of capitulum-infesting species;
endophages in the stems, rosette foliage, and roots; and
ectophages on leaves and stems. At least five monophagous
species that attack the capitulum in different ways could
potentially be used in a biological control program in the
United States.

Abstract: The natural enemies of Sida acuta and S.
rhombifolia in Mexico were surveyed over a period of 3 yr. The
phytophagous arthropods collected from these plants belonged to 27
families in six orders. Coleoptera accounted for 48%, Hemiptera
27%, Lepidoptera 16%, Diptera 5%, Hymenoptera 2%, and Acarina 2%.
Fifty-eight percent reproduced on S. acuta or S. rhombifolia or
both. Twelve species were considered to have potential as
biological control agents for these weeds. One, Calligrapha
pantherina Stal, has been released in Australia and is causing
extensive defoliation of S. acuta. Prospects for biological control
of these weeds are favorable.

Abstract: Bipolaris sorghicola (isolate BS1) and an
unidentified Bipolaris species (isolate BX1) were isolated
from johnsongrass in North Carolina. Inoculum of BX1 was mass
produced in solid and liquid cultures, whereas inoculum of BS1
could only be produced in solid cultures. When six
formulations of inoculum of BX1 were compared, vegetable oil was
the best adjuvant. Isolate BX1 displayed some host
specificity in pathogenicity tests. In the greenhouse, isolate BS1
was more virulent on johnsongrass than isolate BX1. In
growth chambers, increasing conidium concentration and younger
plant ages interacted to increase virulence of BX1, as did
interactions between inoculation, johnsongrass density, and low
soil fertility. In Raleigh, NC, isolate BX1 caused very little
damage in the field, with or without pretreatment with metolachlor.
In Greenville, MS, isolate BX1 caused significant (52%) mortality
to annual johnsongrass with very little damage to corn or grain
sorghum. The biocontrol potential of the two organisms is
uncertain.

Language: English
Descriptors: Plant pathogens; Weed control; Biological
control; Mycoherbicides
Abstract: Biological control with plant pathogens is an
effective, safe, selective, and practical means of weed
management that has gained considerable importance. The recent
success in using certain rust and smut fungi as classical
biocontrol agents, the registration and commercial use of two
facultatively parasitic fungi as mycoherbicides in the United
States, and the potential registration of two more
mycoherbicides in the USA and Canada have further stimulated
worldwide interest in biological weed control with plant
pathogens. Approximately 45 species of fungi are reported to be
under evaluation or development in 19 countries and 44
locations against about 65 weeds. Included are 14 of the top 18
world's worst weeds, and several others of regional and
specific importance. Among pathogens with potential, several
species have been found that attack more than one weed
species. Efforts should be made to develop these pathogens as
broad-spectrum mycoherbicides through strain selection or
genetic engineering. Certain weed-pathogen systems have been shown
to be suitable for low-input weed control technology
that could be developed with public support and dispensed
through user's efforts. Many others may be suitable for
specialty or niche markets in which the target weed lacks
suitable chemical or other means of control. It is anticipated that
public institutions and private industries will continue to support
research and development, respectively, of
classical and mycoherbicidal candidates and thus promote this field
of alternative weed control methods.

Mimosa pigra L., a weed introduced into northern Australia
from tropical America. Most insect species attacking M. pigra in
Australia were rarely or only occasionally encountered, are native
or naturalized, polyphagous, and feed externally on the woody stems
and mature foliage. Seventy-one species (62.3%) were known to breed
on the plant, but only 13 (11.4%) were
endophagous. No species were endophagous on flowers, fruit, seeds,
or leaves. Thirty species (26.3%) are known pests of cultivated
plants. Insects introduced into Australia for the biological
control of M. pigra will find largely unexploited food sources,
especially on new growth or inside the
reproductive structures.

Abstract: Population dynamics of waterhyacinth, Eichhornia
crassipes ((Martinus) Solms-Laubach), and a biological control
agent, the weevil Neochetina eichhorniae (Warner), were
quantified at a site in Wallisville, Tex., during 1987 and
1988. A decline of waterhyacinth occurred that was most
pronounced during the 1988 growing season. Changes included
decreases in (1) living above water biomass/m2 (approximately
-57%), (2) living below water biomass/m2 (approximately-39%), (3)
number of living leaves/plant (approximately-50%), and (4)
weight/plant (-40%). Associated with these decreases was a
1.5-fold increase in plant density. The waterhyacinth was
severely damaged by N. eichhorniae. Highest numbers of N.
eichhorniae adults (>55 weevils/m2) occurred in samples
collected 15 September 1987. Decreases in the number of
weevils for both sexes followed. Declines approached 8
weevils/m2 per month for the following 5 mo. Numbers of pupae per
square meter decreased during 1987 by 7.3 pupae/m2 per
month. Larval density increased during the winter months with
highest larval density noted during December and January. This peak
was followed by decreases in third instars of
approximately 80%. Increases in the number of adults and third
instars occurred during the 1988 growing season, however,
pupal density remained low (near 0) thereafter. Environmental
factors that contributed to the waterhyacinth declines
included a drought, nutrient conditions, intermittent freezing
temperatures, as well as sustained N. eichhorniae herbivory.

Abstract: Although considerable study of Chusolina
quadrigemina (Suffrian) and C. hyperici (Forster) has occurred in
California, Australia, and Canada, these species have not been
thoroughly studied in Idaho or the Pacific Northwest.
Northern Idaho populations of the two leaf beetles were
sampled periodically from four (three grassland and one forest
meadow) sites infested with St. Johnswort during 1985 and
1986. The egg was the dominant overwintering stage at most
sites and most larval feeding took place in the spring and
early summer. Beetle population levels and trends varied from site
to site. C. quadrigemina was the dominant species in the grassland
sites; C. hyperici dominated in the forested site. The bronze color
morph of C. quadrigemina dominated over the other color morphs at
all sites where it was present.
Populations of Agrilus hyperici (Creutzer) (Coleoptera:
Buprestidae) also were sampled periodically from the same four St.
Johnswort infestations during 1985 and 1986. Adults
emerged during late May through July. Eggs were laid during July.
The proportion of stems infested with eggs at the four sites ranged
from 0 to 92%. However, mean larval numbers were always less than
one per plant. Live and dead plants contained live larvae. Nearly
one-half of the dead plants at one site had once been infested.
Based on the larval infestation levels observed (live larvae and
adult exit holes), particularly in dead plants, it appears that A.
hyperici has contributed
significantly to St. Johnswort suppression in Idaho. Annual grasses
(i.e., Bromus spp.) and weedy forbs (i.e., Centaurea spp.)
constitute the major replacement vegetation at most of the St.
Johnswort infested study sites in northern Idaho.

Abstract: Sesbania punicea (Cav.) Benth. is a perennial
legume that has become a weed of major importance in South
Africa. Until recently, S. punicea was colonized by only one insect
herbivore of any consequence, an introduced apionid
weevil species, Trichapion lativentre (Beguin-Billecocq). The
vegetative growth and reproductive capacity of S. punicea was shown
to be significantly lower on plants at sites colonized by T.
lativentre than on plants at sites without the weevils. However,
these initial comparisons did not account for the
extraneous effects of intersite differences, and additional
analyses have been undertaken to determine the actual effects of
the weevils on the weed. Regression models showed that
between 77 and 83% of the variance in vegetative growth
(leaflets, rachides, and stems) of S. punicea was explained by the
presence of weevils, by their history of colonization, and to a
lesser extent, by the density of the weevils, expressed as
cumulative weevil-days. Kruskal-Wallis tests showed that the
weevils also almost completely nullified the reproductive capacity
of the plants by destroying nearly all of the flower buds. The
results confirm that the suppression of plant growth was
attributable, almost entirely, to weevil herbivory and
that, in moderate to dense infestations of the weed, T.
lativentre is equally effective as a biological control agent,
regardless of site characteristics such as the spacing,
height, or size of the trees.

Abstract: Rhizobacteria have the potential to suppress plant
growth. We evaluated the effect of native pseudomonads on
downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.), a troublesome weed in small-
grain-producing lands. Pseudomonas spp. were isolated from
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and downy brome roots and
tested to determine their potential as biological control
agents for this weed. Pseudomonads were screened in agar and soil
for inhibition of downy brome root growth and lack of
inhibition of winter wheat root growth. Of more than 1000
isolates tested, 81 inhibited downy brome and not winter wheat in
the agar seedling bioassay. Six isolates consistently
inhibited downy brome growth and not winter wheat in soil
contained in pots in the growth chamber. In nursery field
trials in which downy brome was planted in rows and adequately
fertilized, some of the bacterial isolates reduced downy brome
populations up to 30% and shoot dry weight up to 42%. Field studies
were also conducted at three sites in eastern
Washington in which brome-inhibitory bacteria were applied to wheat
fields infested with natural populations of downy brome. Of the
three isolates studied in the field, two reduced plant populations
and aboveground growth of downy brome up to 31 and 53%,
respectively, compared with noninoculated controls. At two of the
three locations, winter wheat yields were increased 18 to 35%
because of the suppression of downy brome growth. Brome-suppressive
bacteria isolated from the rhizoplane of
winter wheat and downy brome can be used as biological control
agents for downy brome.

Descriptors: Weed control; Biological control; Soil fungi;
Gliocladium virens; Host range; Mycoherbicides
Abstract: Current methods of biological weed control with
plant pathogens rely mainly upon foliar application of host-
specific pathogens which infect an established weed
population. This contrasts with chemical weed control where
application can provide broad-spectrum preplanting, pre-
emergence or post-emergence control of potential weed
populations. This limitation to the value of mycoherbicides,
relative to chemical herbicides, could be overcome with the finding
that the saprophytic, soilborne fungus Gliocladium
virens Miller, Giddens & Foster can provide the needed broad-
spectrum pre-emergence control of weeds. Application of G.
virens, cultured on peat moss amended with sucrose and
ammonium nitrate, reduced a broad range of weeds by at least 90
percent. Those seedlings which did emerge were severely
stunted. Herbicidal activity was correlated with production of the
steroidal phytotoxin viridiol. Viridiol caused a severe necrosis of
roots but did not affect other tissues. Crop
toxicity was avoided by directed application of the
mycoherbicide above the root zone of crop seedlings. The use of G.
virens and other soilborne fungi for weed control is
discussed.

Abstract: During the past decade, considerable research
efforts have been devoted towards non-chemical weed control. Some
of these efforts have been directed towards the control of forest
weed species. Non-chemical control of forest
vegetation encompasses many approaches and techniques and only a
few of them are discussed in this paper. Three major and
promising research areas are identified: 1) allelopathy, (2)
microbially produced phytotoxins, and 3) bio-control. Each of these
weed management strategies is briefly presented and
discussed using examples from the forestry literature.

Abstract: The effect of V8 juice concentration (5 to 40%,
vol/vol), spore inoculum density (10(5) and 10(7) spores per ml),
and liquid batch or fed-batch culture condition on
mycelium and spore production by Colletotrichum
gloeosporioides was evaluated. The amount of mycelium
produced, the time required for initiation of sporulation
following attainment of maximum mycelium, and the time for
attainment of maximum spore concentration increased with
increasing V8 juice concentration in batch culture. Cultures
containing V8 juice at > 10% achieved a similar spore density
(apparent spore-carrying capacity) of about 0.8 mg of spores per ml
(1 x 10(7) to 2 x 10(7) spores per ml) independent of inoculum
density and V8 juice concentration. The relative
spore yield decreased from a high of 64% of the total biomass for
the low-inoculum 5% V8, culture, through 13% for the
analogous 40% V8 culture, to a low of 2% for the high-inoculum 27%
V8 culture. Fed-batch cultures were used to establish
conditions of high spore density and low substrate
availability but high substrate flux. The rate of addition of V8
juice was adjusted to approximate the rate of substrate
utilization by the (increasing) biomass. The final spore
concentration was about four times higher (3.0 mg of spores per ml)
than the apparent spore-carrying capacity in batch
culture. This high spore yield was obtained at the expense of
greatly reduced mycelium, resulting in a high relative spore yield
(62% of the total biomass). Microcycle conidiation
occurred in the fed-batch but not batch systems. These data
indicate that substrate-limited, fed-batch culture can be used to
increase the amount and efficiency of spore production by C.
gloeosporioides by maintaining microcycle conidiation
conditions favoring allocation of nutrients to spore rather than
mycelium production.

Abstract: Sixty isolates of the plant pathogenic fungus
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary and six isolates of
Sclerotinia minor Jagger were evaluated in a controlled
environment for virulence on leaves excised from 8-week-old
dandelion plants. Significant negative correlations were
obtained between the relative virulence of the isolates and the dry
weights of dandelion plants inoculated in a controlled environment;
and positive correlations were detected between the relative
virulence of isolates and reduction in number of dandelion plants
in turfgrass swards infested with inoculum of the isolates. In
August 1988, an 80.7% reduction in the number of dandelion plants
was detected in a turfgrass sward treated in 1987 with four
applications of heat-killed seed of
perennial ryegrass (100 g m-2 application-1) infested with
isolate R30 of S. sclerotiorum, followed by six applications at the
same rate in 1988. Populations of dandelions in
untreated swards increased by 22.2% during the same period. Heat-
killed seed of perennial ryegrass (100 g m-2) infested with isolate
R30 applied simultaneously with dandelion seed (25 g m-2) onto a
sward of Kentucky bluegrass reduced the
establishment of dandelion seedlings by 85.5%. Necrosis or
discoloration did not develop on Kentucky bluegrass, creeping
bentgrass, annual bluegrass, or quackgrass treated with
inoculum of Sclerotinia. Sclerotia of Sclerotinia spp. were found,
on occasion, in crowns but not on the foliage of
diseased dandelions.

Abstract: Fragrance volatiles responsible for the sweet aroma
produced when Canada thistle [Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop.]
plants are infected with the systemic sexual stage of the
Canada thistle rust [Puccinia punctiformis (Strauss) Roehl.], a
prospective biological control agent for that weed, have
been identified by capillary gas chromatography/mass
spectrometry (GC/MS) after thermal desorption from Tenax. The four
major peaks in the chromatogram were identified as
benzaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, phenethyl alcohol, and
indole, at average relative molar concentrations of 0.05,
0.85, 0.44, and 1.00, respectively. The known insect-
attracting properties of these compounds may aid cross-
fertilization of the fungus. Healthy Canada thistle flowers emitted
these same compounds, except indole, plus methyl
salicylate. Phenylacetaldehyde was the most concentrated
fragrance volatile of the flowers.

Language: English
Descriptors: Weed control; Biological control; Plant pathogens
Abstract: An increasing emphasis on biological alternatives to
chemicals for pest control is expected because of the
persistent lack of confidence in synthetic chemical pesticides by
a discerning society. Chemical residue contaminations of food,
water, soil and the environment from use or misuse of pesticides
are undeniably strong emotive issues that lead to an even more
stringent regulatory climate and consequently to cost increases for
chemical pesticide development. The trend toward biologicals is
further strengthened by rapid
development of pest resistance to the safer, metabolically
specific chemical pesticides. The shift from chemical based to
biologically based pest control technology will require
substantially more public and private sector input into target and
agent biology at the ecosystem, organismal and molecular levels
than is now committed, and significant re-direction of genetic
engineering research efforts to strain improvement of potential
biological pesticides is required.
