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.

Language: English
Descriptors: Asparagus; Trichoderma harzianum; Seed germination
Abstract: Two methods of applying a biocontrol agent (Trichoderma
harzianum--"T 581") directly to the seed were evaluated in order to
assess its possible positive effects on germination. The "T 581"
strain, isolated from the soil and grown on potato dextrose agar
medium (PDA) for seven days, was employed in three concentrations
(10(5), 10(6) and 10(7) spores/ml). The following methods were
evaluated for each concentration: 1. Seed coating using talcum and
sodium alginate as dispersant and thickening agent for the
condidial suspension, respectively; 2. Seed coating and
encapsultation of biocontrol agent using talcum and alginate with
the addition of a food-base compound (chitin) in case (a) and
without such addition in case (b). After this, encapsulation of
Trichoderma was obtained by dropping the coated seeds into 0.1 M
calcium gluconate solution. The parameters obtained in the trials
conducted on the "UC 157 LT 869-470-2" asparagus variety were
germination percentage and amount of dry matter produced by
seedlings. The results are then discussed.

Abstract: This paper examines the effects of Trichoderma harzianum
Rifai ("T 581") on the germination of asparagus seeds ("UC 157 LT
869-470-2" variety) when added to the soil. The "T 581" strain
grown on potato dextrose agar medium (PDA) for seven days was
brought to a 10(5) spores/ml concentration and employed in two
formulations: liquid and solid. The biocontrol agent was added at
a ratio of 26 000 spores/g to thhe soil which had previously been
steam-sterilized. Planting was carried out 96, 72, 48, 24 and 0
hours after adding "T 581" to the soil. Germination precentage and
the amount of dry matter produced by seedlings were evaluated. The
parameters ware determined on four successive stages at four-day
intervals. The findings are then commented upon.

Language: English
Descriptors: South Africa; Anacardiaceae; Lepidoptera; Insect
pests; Pest control; Biological control; Life cycle
Abstract: The African lunar moth, Argema mimosae (Bsd.), is
endemic to south-central Africa. The larvae feed on the foliage of
the marula, Sclerocarya caffra (Sond.), and may cause substantial
defoliation which can reduce growth and/or fruit production. At
average temperatures of about 25 degrees C eggs hatch after 10.9
days, and the first to fifth larval instars are completed in means
of 5.6, 4.2, 3.4, 5.8, and 14.1 days respectively. The pupal stage
lasts 6-12 weeks in summer and 5-8 months in winter. The African
lunar moth completes two generations per year. Marula trees are
attacked during the months October to December and February to
March when most of the larvae are in their fourth and fifth instar.
The egg parasitoids Anastatus sp. (sp.a) and Mesocomys pulchriceps
Cam. (Hymenoptera:Eupelmidae) have been reared from A. mimosae eggs
placed in the field. In the laboratory two other eupelmids,
Mesocomys vuilleti (Crawf.) and Anastatus sp (sp.b.), parasitise
eggs of the African lunar moth.

Abstract: Three major components, ethyl-(E)-3-octenoate, geranyl
acetate, and (E.E)-alpha-farnesene, emitted as volatiles by
laboratory-reared and wild male medflies were collected and
analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Peak emission of these
compounds occurred during the third to fifth hours of the
photophase arid differences were observed in the ratios of the
three components emitted by male laboratory-reared and wild flies.
These three compounds were synthesized, and a method was developed
to formulate a synthetic blend that released the compounds in a
ratio similar to that emitted by wild male medflies. Attractiveness
of the blend to female medflies was demonstrated under field
conditions by comparing trap catches. Black spherical traps, baited
with the synthetic blend to release 1.6 male equivalents, caught
significantly more females than blank traps and traps from which
the blend released was 0.3, 3.2 or 6.4 male equivalents.

Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar 'Oswego' strain (an isolate
from New York state), were examined for 5 wk within soil-filled
flats containing grass. Japanese beetle grubs uniformly dispersed
to all sections of the flats not infested with H. bacteriophora
'Oswego' strain. In flats infested with H. bacteriophora 'Oswego'
strain, however, greater proportions of Japanese beetle grubs were
recovered in sections near the nematode release site or center
sections of the flats. H. bacteriophora 'Oswego' strain dispersed
to all sections of the flats but dispersed more rapidly within the
flats infested with Japanese beetle grubs than in flats not
infested with Japanese beetle grubs.

Abstract: Biological pest control is a reliable method and an
economically profitable endeavour for growers of greenhouse crops.
The fast evaluation and introduction of a number of natural enemies

Abstract: Several strains or species of entomopathogenic
nematodes-steinernema carpocapsae Weiser (All), S. feltiae
(=bibionis) (Filipjev) (Biosys strains 27 and 980), S. glaseri
(Steiner), and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (= heliothidis) Poinar
(HP88)-were tested in the field for control of japanese beetle,
Popillia japonica Newman; Oriental beetle, Anomala orientalis
Waterhouse; or black turfgrass ataenius, Ataenius spretulus
(Haldeman) larvae. A spring field trial against A. orientalis, in
which half of the plots were aerated to assist in nematode
dispersal in soil, showed no significant differences between
control plots and those treated with H. bacteriophora (HP88) or S.
carpocapsae (All). A fall field trial in which half of the plots
were dethatched before nematode application (to enhance nematode-
larva contact) also showed no significant differences between plots
treated with S. feltiae and control plots. Four other fall field
trials with S. carpocapsae, S. feltiae, S. glaseri, and H.
bacteriorphora against japanese beetle larvae showed a range of
0-81% control. The greatest mortality of P. japonica larvae
occurred with S. glaseri at 24.7 X 10(9) per ha. A field trial with
S. carpocapsae against A. spretulus showed 94% mortality at a 24.7
X 10(9) per ha rate.

Abstract: Penicillaria jocosatrix Guenee consumes new leaves,
flowers, and fruits of mango and has been a serious pest on Guam.
Before 1986, few natural enemies were present and there were no
parasitoids attacking the larvae. In 1986, a program was initiated
to introduce larval parasitoids. The wasps Aleiodes sp. and
Euplectrus sp. and the fly Blepharella lateralis Macquart were
released. Aleiodes sp. did not establish, but Euplectrus sp. and B.
lateralis did. Populations of the mango shoot caterpillar fell to
25% of their prerelease levels. Parasitization rates ranged from 20
to 99%. Euplectrus sp. was the most abundant parasitoid. It
parasitized all instars, but was more common on second and third
instars. More eggs were laid on older instars of the caterpillar.
Euplectrus sp. was more abundant in the dry season whereas B.
lateralis was more common in the wet season. Fruit production on
monitored trees increased significantly after the parasitoids
became effective.

Abstract: Females of the European grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana
Den. et Schiff.) usually deposit isolated eggs on flowers and
berries of the grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). We have investigated
whether an epideictic pheromone could be present on the egg surface
to explain this spacing behavior. About 21,000 eggs of L. botrana
were washed in cold methanol, and the biological activity was
tested in a two-choice bioassay offering treated and nontreated
areas. Different dilutions of the extract were tested in methanol,
which was inactive alone. At the dose of four egg equivalents per
microliter of extract, the number of eggs laid by the L. botrana
females was reduced by as much as 57% on the treated areas compared
to nontreated areas. A longer-term suppression of oviposition (at
least 24 hr) following an exposure to the extract occurred for two
doses (0.6 and 4.0 eggs/microliter) of egg extract. Our results
strongly suggest the occurrence of an oviposition-deterring
pheromone (ODP) on the eggs of L. botrana. The ecological value of
these results is discussed.

Abstract: Bruchid beetles cause high losses of stored legumes in
the tropics. Chemical control is inappropriate for the small scale
farmer and the use of alternative measures should be encouraged.
Different biological methods of control such as cultural, physical,
varietal, biological, biorational and genetic control are reviewed.
Cultural control techniques such as timely and frequent harvesting,
legumes planted away from granaries, crop hygiene and storage in
pods, are within the technical and financial means of the small
scale farmer. The use of inert substances, vegetable oils and
repellent plants may be cheap and effective if properly managed.
The use of controlled atmosphere, vacuum, heating, cooling and
sterilizing, requires relatively advanced techniques. Growth
regulators and pheromones are currently not available for control.
Varieties resistant to bruchids have been identified, but
incorporation of resistance into suitable varieties has proven to
be difficult. Biological control of bruchids should receive more
attention in particular research on the introduction and
conservation of natural enemies. To effectively implement control
measures at farmer's level socio-economic and cultural aspects
should be taken into account. Proven appropriate techniques should
be combined in an overall integrated pest management strategy.

Abstract: Bacillus thuringiensis EG2838 and EG4961 are highly
toxic to Colorado potato beetle larvae, and only strain EG4961 is
toxic to southern corn rootworm larvae. To investigate the cause of
the different insecticidal activities of EG2838 and EG4961, cryIII-
type genes toxic to coleopterans were cloned from each strain. The
cryIIIB gene, cloned as part of an 8.0-kb EcoRI fragment of EC2838
DNA, encoded a crystal protein (CryIIIB) of 74,237 Da. The cryIIIB2
gene, cloned as part of an 8.3-kb PstI-Asp718 fragment of EG4961
DNA, encoded a crystal protein (CryIIIB2) of 74,393 Da that was 94%
identical to CryIIIB. Analysis of the transcriptional start sites
showed that cryIIIB and cryIIIB2 were initiated from a conserved
region located within 130 nucleotides upstream from the translation
start sites of both genes. Although the CryIIIB and CryIIIB2
proteins were similar in sequence, they displayed distinct
insecticidal activities: CryIIIB was one-third as toxic as CryIIIB2
to Colorado potato beetle larvae, and CryIIIB2, but not CryIIIB,
was toxic to southern corn rootworm larvae. Genes encoding crystal
proteins of approximately 32 and 31 kDa were located adjacent to
the cryIIIB and cryIIIB2 genes, respectively. The 32- and 31-kDa
crystal proteins failed to enhance the insecticidal activities of
CryIIIB and CryIIIB2.

Abstract: The chemical basis underlying orientation to fruit and
fungal odors was investigated for the dried-fruit beetle,
Carpophilus hemipterus (L.). in wind-tunnel bioassays of walking
and flight response from 1.8 m, beetles were attracted to odors of
the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on agar, aseptic banana, or
banana inoculated with S. cerevisiae, although both banana
substrates elicited greater response than the yeast alone. When
presented in a two-choice bioassay, the yeast-inoculated banana
attracted approximately twice as many beetles as did the aseptic
banana. GC-MS analysis of the head-space volatiles above these odor
sources revealed a somewhat more complex and concentrated volatile
profile for yeast-inoculated banana than for aseptic banana. The
odor from yeast on agar had fewer components, and these were
present at lower concentrations than the odors of either banana
substrate. By blending mineral-oil or aqueous solutions of the 18
components of inoculated-banana odor in varying concentrations, it
was possible to mimic closely the headspace profile of the natural
odor. This synthetic odor also elicited beetle attraction in the
wind tunnel at levels comparable to the inoculated banana. Through
a series of bioassays in which individual components were
subtracted from or added to a synthetic odor blend, it was
determined that ethyl acetate, acetaldehyde, 2-pentanol, and 3-
methylbutanol comprised the simplest blend of compounds evoking
full behavioral response. However, 2-methylpropanol or butanol were
apparently interchangeable with 3-methylbutanol in this blend, and
comparable response could also be elicited by replacing
acetaldehyde with a combination of both 2-pentanone and 3-
hydroxy-2-butanone. Thus, our results suggest that this generalist
insect herbivore locates its host by a long-range response to a
variety of blends of common fruit volatiles, whose concentrations
are enhanced by fungi.

Abstract: Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say),
larvae and adults were not behaviorally deterred from, and in some
cases may have been stimulated to increase, feeding initially by
the presence of M-One (Bacillus thuringiensis var. san diego) on
foliage. However, consumption of M-One caused a decrease in
subsequent consumption even of untreated foliage. Although certain
feeding stimulants including sucrose, Coax, Entice, and a mixture
of sucrose, amino acids, chlorogenic acid, and vegetable lecithin
all stimulated feeding on foliage in laboratory tests either with
or without M-One, this increased consumption did not increase
subsequent mortality due to M-One. In a field experiment, increased
consumption may have occurred where M-One was combined with Entice,
but not to an extent sufficient to cause mortality greater than
that on M-One alone.

Descriptors: North America; Apples; Pest management; Expert systems
Abstract: Our computer program is designed to help tree fruit pest
managers make decisions on management of three major apple pests in
western North America, codling moth, San Jose scale and
phytophagous mites. The program operates on an IBM-compatible
microcomputer and uses commercial expert system, database
management and spreadsheet software. The system has three major
components: DIAGNOSE, IDENTIFY and MANAGE. DIAGNOSE identifies
pests from the injury they cause on buds, fruit, leaves or bark.
IDENTIFY determines names of arthropod pests and their common
natural enemies found on trees or fruit or in pheromone traps.
MANAGE, the largest module, calculates the net benefit of a
pesticide application. Submodels predict crop value, pest damage,
control efficacy and control costs. Pest damage predictions are
based on empirical models for codling moth and mites and on an
expert estimate for scale. Efficacies of pesticides are estimated
by experienced researchers. The program predicts the combined value
at harvest of damage from accumulated populations of those pests
selected by the user. Then a list of appropriate pesticides is
presented. Next, the net benefit of an application of the user's
choice of pesticide is calculated. Finally, the user may
graphically compare side effects of the pesticide selected with
those of alternative pesticides. Side effects include toxicities to
other pests, applicator hazard, bee toxicity, toxicity to western
predator mite and risk of resistance development.

Abstract: Several pyrethroid insecticides provided nearly 100%
mortality of army cutworm, Euxoa auxiliaris (Grote), populations
under field conditions in central Kansas. Performances of
endosulfan and chlorpyrifos were variable, but they displayed
adequate insecticidal activity against army cutworms. Bacillus
thuringiensis var. kurstaki, carbofuran, ethyl parathion,
malathion, and methyl parathion did not provide satisfactory
control. Variation in vegetative growth and eventual wheat yields
were not caused solely by larval populations of army cutworms.
Moisture availability favoring vigorous plant growth was an
important factor for plants to withstand army cutworm feeding. Use
of insecticides to control army cutworms was found to be of
variable profitability depending on the circumstances.

development; Temperature; Heat sums; Phenology; Models
Abstract: The lack of data on temperature-dependent development of
instars of Liriomyza sativae Blanchard is an impediment to research
on biological control of this pest because parasitoids will likely
interact differently with each instar. In this study, development
times of eggs and instars of L. sativae were determined at constant
temperatures of 20, 25, 30, and 35 +/- 1 degree C on Phaseolus
lunatus L. 'Henderson'. Development rates of eggs and larvae
increased linearly with temperature up to 35 degrees C (r2 greater
than or equal to 0.95). More than 91% of the variation in
development rate of first and second instars was explained by
temperature, whereas temperature explained only 42% of the
variation in third-instar development rate. A part of the variation
in development rate of third instars may be explained by the fact
that the designated end point of this stadium (emergence of third
instars from leaves) occurred only during the photophase, Overall,
99.9% of larvae emerged from leaves after 95 degree-days (DD)
(threshold temperature, 10 degrees C). When the constant
temperature data were used to parameterize a stochastic phenology
model for L. sativae, the model predicted that 50% of the
population would advance beyond the egg and first-, second-, and
third-instar stages by 39.2, 67.0, 85.5, and 101.2 DD,
respectively. The model predicted peak proportions of the
population to be in first, second, and third stadia at 52.7, 76.1,
and 93.2 DD. Pooled data from two fluctuating temperature
experiments resulted in very similar estimates of timing of peak
stage proportions (51.3, 74.4, and 94.1 DD, respectively). Degree-
day values at peak stage proportions were used successfully to
determine the temperatures required to advance members of a cohort
to a particular stadium at a given time, thereby facilitating
experiments examining interactions of parasitoids with each larval
instar.

is 5.76 billion Dutch guilders. A characteristic of the Dutch
ornamental industry is the wide range of products. About 110
species of cut flower and 300 species of pot plant are grown.
Reduction of pesticide use can be achieved by the development of
alternative and additional methods, like the use of monitoring
techniques, natural enemies, host-plant resistance and closed
systems. Information is presented referring to developments in
research, extension and practical application of these methods.

Abstract: Abundance of oriental fruit fly, Dacus dorsalis Hendel,
and associated parasitoids was determined in a commercial guava,
Psidium guajava L., orchard by canopy fogging and fruit collections
during 1988 and 1989. D. dorsalis populations reached a maximum of
2.6 adults per tree in 1988 and 1.4 adults per tree in 1989. Four
parasitoid species were recovered from guava tree canopies;
Biosteres arisanus (Sonan) was the most abundant species, followed
by Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead), Psyttalia incisi
(Silvestri), and Biosteres vandenboschi (Fullaway), respectively.
D. dorsaits and parasitoids recovered from guava canopies exhibited
different sex ratios from populations that emerged from fruit
samples. Abundance gf D. dorsalis and its parasitoids was
correlated with the number of ripe fruit present in the orchard.
Parasitoid abundance was correlated with D. dorsalis abundance in
1988. Diversity and abundance of parasitoids estimated from canopy
fogging and fruit collections differed.

Abstract: The effect of high population densities of citrus bud
mite, Aceria sheldoni (Ewing), on the quantity and quality of lemon
yields was studied for 4 yr in four commercial groves in coastal
southern California. There were two treatments in each grove:
treated plots where bud mite was suppressed with acaricide
treatments whenever infestation levels increased markedly, and
untreated plots where bud mite was not controlled. Average
percentage of axillary buds infested with citrus bud mite was 7-15%
in treated plots and 45-70% in untreated plots over the 4-yr
period. Citrus bud mite feeding results in distortion of fruit
shape which can result in commercial downgrading. Citrus bud mite
control significantly reduced fruit distortion in all four groves
and significantly improved commercial packout in three of the four
groves. However, significantly less distortion in fruit was not
detected in treated trees until harvests greater than or equal to
10-13 mo after the initial acaricide treatment (lemons in coastal
California are harvested three or four times per year). This
supports the hypothesis that distortion in fruit is caused by
citrus bud mite feeding on embryonic fruit tissue in the buds; once
fruit set, they are unaffected by further citrus bud mite feeding.
Up to 21 mo after the first acaricide treatments, the cumulative
yield did not differ significantly between treated and untreated
plots. In two of the four groves, in the eight harvests between 24
and 48 mo after the first acaricide treatments, the cumulative
yield was often significantly greater (9-13% greater) from treated
than from untreated trees. The other two groves showed no
significant differences in cumulative yield between treated and
untreated trees up to the time of the last harvest (28 and 49 mo
after the first acaricide treatment). In two groves, economic loss
justified the cost of bud mite suppression, and in two groves, the
cost of suppression exceeded the economic benefit of suppression.

Abstract: Effects of cyromazine and diazinon on eclosion,
longevity, and reproduction of Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis
capitata (Wiedemann); oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis
(Hendel); and melon fly, B. cucurbitae (Coquillett), were
determined. Eclosion and longevity of the braconid endoparasitoids
Psyttalia incisi (Silvestri), P. fletcheri (Silvestri),
Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead), and D. tryoni (Cameron) and
the reproduction of D. longicaudata and D. tryoni that parasitized
fruit flies exposed to cyromazine and diazinon were also
determined. Formation of puparia was not affected by cyromazine but
was affected by diazinon in a concentration-dependent manner at the
concentrations tested. At LC50 B. dorsalis and B. cucurbitae were
more susceptible to cyromazine than to diazinon; C. capitata was
equally susceptible to both chemicals. Eclosion of endoparasitoids
from diazinon-treated hosts was concentration-dependent, but
parasitoid eclosion from cyromazine-treated hosts was not
significantly different from that of controls. Fecundity and
fertility of B. cucurbitae were significantly reduced in females
that survived treatment with 0.5 ppm cyromazine. Production of F1
progeny by D. tryoni that eclosed from flies exposed to 1.0 ppm
diazinon was significantly reduced. Cyromazine had no impact on
progeny production of either D. longicaudata or D. tryoni at the
concentrations tested. Potential use of cyromazine in conjunction
with biological control for fruit fly eradication and control
programs is discussed.

Abstract: The effect of fruit species on parasitization of
Anastrepha ludens (Loew) by Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead)
was studied. The roles of fermenting fruit volatiles, size, and
color in host habitat selection by this parasitoid also were
investigated. The lowest percentage parasitism was recorded for
larvae in grapefruit, Citrus paradisi Macf. On the other hand,
grapefruit volatiles and size proved most attractive to D.
longicaudata. Greater percentage parasitism was recorded for larvae
in smaller and apparently less attractive fruit. The length of the
parasitoid's ovipositor, depth of the fruit pulp, and host larval
behavior could explain these contrasting results. Citrus volatiles
attracted almost twice as many female parasitoids as volatiles of
mango, Mangifera indica L., or peach, Prunus persica L. Fruit > 5
cm in diameter were equally attractive to D. longicaudata.
Selection of colors by D. longicaudata was not statistically
different among colors tested.

Abstract: Studies were conducted in 1988 and 1989 to identify the
parastoid complex of lepidopterous pests of tomatoes in western
North Carolina, and to assess the compatibility, of various
insecticides with natural control of these pests. Trichogramma
exiguum (Pinto & Platner) and T. pretiosum (Riley) were the primary
egg parasitoids of Helicoverpa (= Heliothis) zea (Boddie) and
Manduca spp. in 1988, whereas T. exiguum was the predominant
species collected from H. zea and Trichoplusia ni (Hubner) in 1989.
Parasitization of H. zea eggs on plants treated with endosulfan,
methomyl, and Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner var. kurstaki did not
differ significantly from the untreated control. However, egg
densities were higher in synthetic insecticide treatments
presumably because of disruption of predators in these treatments.
Despite the low toxicity of esfenvalerate to Trichogramma spp. in
laboratory bioassays, parasitization of H. zea and Heliothis
virescens (F.) eggs in the field was significantly reduced on
esfenvalerate-treated tomatoes. This decreased level of
parasitization was attributed to an avoidance by Trichogramma spp,
to pyrethroid insecticides, which was previously reported. Under
the relatively low-density lepidopterous populations observed in
these studies, the efficacy of specific insecticides against H. zea
and T. ni was more important in preventing damage than the level of
parasitization of these pests, because the treatment with the
lowest level of parasitization (esfenvalerate + B. thuringiensis)
had the lowest levels of fruit damage in both years.

Abstract: Parasitization rates of eggs of oriental fruit fly,
Dacus dorsalis Hendel, by Biosteres arisanus (Sonan), and larvae of
melon fly, Dacus cucurbitae Coquillett, by Psytallia fletcheri
(Silvestri) in mature green to fully ripe papaya fruits on trees
and in fully ripe fruits on the ground was studied. Parasitization
of oriental fruit fly eggs by B. arisanus was greater in fully ripe
fruits than in one-quarter to half-ripe fruits on trees; B.
arisanus never parasitized oriental fruit fly eggs in mature green
to color-break fruits. No difference was observed in the density of
emergent B. arisanus adults from oriental fruit fly pupae recovered
from fully ripe fruits on trees and on the ground. Parasitization
of melon fly larvae by P. fletcheri was observed in only one fully
ripe, fallen fruit. Results in relation to the effect of host
plants on the foraging behavior of adult parasitoids and to the
biological control of oriental fruit fly and melon fly in an
agricultural ecosystem were discussed.

Abstract: The leaf extract from S. berthaultii Hawkes (PI473340)
contains exudate from trichomes (type B). Consumption of S.
tuberosum var. Norchip foliage by the Colorado potato beetle
Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) was reduced when treated with the
leaf extract. The leaf extract from a resistant S. berthaultii
clone without type B trichome had no antifeedant activity. It
suggests that more than one mechanism of resistance to the Colorado
potato beetle exists in S. berthaultii.

Abstract: Applications of selected granular acaricide formulations
to the shrub layer of forested habitats during the peak activity
periods of Ixodes dammini Spielman, Clifford, Piesman & Corwin
nymphs and larvae significantly reduced the abundance of these
stages on Peromyscus leucopus. The granules effectively penetrated
growing vegetation and suppressed populations of subadult ticks
questing in the leaf litter. The use of granular acaricide
formulations provides the only documented method of control of
free-living I. dammini nymphs and larvae in dense vegetation. As
such, this technique will serve as a major component of any
integrated control program against this vector tick species.

Abstract: Conidium germination and differentiation of Zoophthora
radicans on water agar were investigated to identify requirements
for the production of appressoria, the structures needed for
virulence. Appressorium formation was more sensitive to
environmental and nutritional changes than was conidium
germination. Temperature affected both formation of germ tubes and
appressoria, and the best temperature-nutrient interaction was
found for appressorium formation at 25-30 degrees C and 1% yeast
extract. At 15 degrees C, conidium germination was depressed
independent of the nutrient concentration, and appressoria did not
form. The volume of liquid overlaying the conidia and the yeast
extract concentration individually affected appressorium formation.
The best interaction between the volume of liquid and yeast extract
concentration was the combination of a large volume of liquid
medium (3 ml/962 mm2 surface area) and 1% yeast extract. Of the 12
nitrogen sources tested, the best for germination and appressorium
formation were yeast extract and Bacto-Soytone. Glucose, maltose,
and starch were the best of the 12 carbon sources tested.
Increasing osmotic pressure caused by different concentrations of
maltose and polyethylene glycol adversely affected formation of
germ tubes and appressoria. Subculturing did not affect formation
of germ tubes, but the frequency of appressorium formation
decreased after 12 transfers. The best pH for appressorium
formation was between 7.0 and 7.2. Z. radicans produced appressoria
on cuticles of dead Empoasca fabae (Harris) nymphs at 25 degrees C
in the dark.

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: Field experiments were done in potatoes, Solanum
tuberosum L., to evaluate various spray nozzle and volume
combinations for control of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa
decemlineata (Say), with synthetic insecticides and Bacillus
thuringiensis. Colorado potato beetles were moderately tolerant to
permethrin, and use of hollow-cone nozzles resulted in improved
control compared with flat-fan nozzles. When flat-fan nozzles were
used with permethrin, increasing spray volume from 103 to 298
liter/ha resulted in a reduction in defoliation and an increase in
tuber yield. Colorado potato beetles were highly susceptible to
esfenvalerate. Nozzle type and spray volume had no significant
effect on insect density or defoliation. However, a significant
linear relationship existed between Colorado potato beetle counts
and esfenvalerate spray- volume, On some sample dates, density of
Colorado potato beetles was reduced in the high volume (467
liter/ha) esfenvalerate treatment compared with the low volume (93
liter/ha) treatment. Efficacy, of cryolite for control of Colorado
potato beetle was not significantly influenced by nozzle type or
spray, volume treatment. in experiments with B. thuringiensis var.
san diego (M-One Insecticide), use of three hollow-cone drop
nozzles per row resulted in significantly lower Colorado potato
beetle density and defoliation, compared with use of hollow-cone
nozzles arranged over the tops of the plants. Colorado potato
beetle control with B
thuringiensis was enhanced (with both nozzle treatments) by
increasing spray volume from 140 to 560 liter/ha.

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: The entomogenous nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae
(Weiser) and Heterorhabditis heliothidis (Khan, Brooks &
Hirschmann) were used to control white grubs in turf and pasture.
In the turf trial, nematode concentrations of 0.25, 0.5, or 1
million nematodes per m2 were evaluated. only 12% of the grubs were
killed by the nematodes at all three concentrations. In the pasture
trial, nematode concentrations of 0.5 and 1.5 million per m2 were
applied alone or in combination with diazinon (2.25 kg [AI]/ha).
Comparisons (t tests) of the mean number of grubs recovered from
each treatment area 2-4 wk after application showed significant
reductions in the grub populations in both trials after certain
nematode treatments. When applied at a rate of 1.5 million per m2,
nematodes persisted for 8 wk after application in the pasture
trial. In other tests of persistence, nematodes survived as long as
5 wk after application. Nematophagous fungi were recovered from
treated areas and untreated plots; however, no significant
increases in numbers of propagules occurred after application.
Predaceous mite populations did significantly increase after
application in one trial. Many of these mites are considered
nematophagous.

in Slovakian vineyards. A steam distillate extract of tansy flowers
was analyzed by means of a GC-EAG
technique to screen constituents detected by the olfactory
receptors of EGVM females. From more than 200 GC peaks, nine peaks
corresponding to monoterpenoids released an EAG response in more
than 70% of the females (N = 15): p-cymene, d-limonene, alpha-
thujene, alpha-thujone, beta-thujone, thujyl alcohol, terpinene-4-
ol, (Z)-verbenol, and piperitone. The steam distillate of tansy as
well as a synthetic blend of identified compounds released
consistent attraction in a field cage. The use of nonhost plants
and host plant odors in integrated pest management is discussed.

Abstract: Since 1976 apple scab has been successfully controlled
by fungicides applied according to infection periods in
experimental plots and also in a steadily increasing number of
commercial orchards. To guarantee adequate preventive and curative
action at the same time captanoid fungicides (e.g. Capan, Folpet,
Dichlofluanid) were applied in combination with compounds having a
curative activity. In the seventies benzimidazol-fungicides were
used as the curative component and after 1980 they were gradually
replaced by sterol-biosynthesis-inhibiting fungicides (SBI). To
prevent storage diseases (mainly Gloeosporium species and storage
scab) two sprays of captan are essential in late summer. Using
captanoid fungicides is also part of the strategy to prevent
buildup of resistance of Venturia inadequalis against SBI.
Monitoring scab-resistance to SBI is of utmost importance since the
control according to infection period depends entirely on their
excellent curative action.

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: Imidacloprid (code name: BAY NTN 33893; Chemical
Abstract Name: 1-[(6-chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-N-nitro-2-
imidazolidinimine) is a highly effective insecticide being
developed in the U.S. by Miles Inc. and by Bayer AG worldwide.
Imidacloprid is a systemic and contact insecticide exhibiting low
mammalian toxicity, with primary activity on sucking insects such
as aphids, leafhoppers and planthoppers, thrips and whiteflies,
including strains resistant to conventional chemistries. It is also
effective against some Coleoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera.
Imidacloprid has a novel mode of action, and no cross resistance
from any resistant species has been detected via oral ingestion of
imidacloprid in worldwide field and laboratory testing. With
excellent systemic and good residual characteristics, imidacloprid
is especially appropriate for seed treatment and soil application.
Effective early season control with long-lasting protection is
achieved in crops such as cereals, corn, cotton, potatoes, rice,
sorghum and many vegetables. Pests attacking later in the season
can be controlled by foliar applications in the above-mentioned
crops, as well as in citrus, deciduous fruits, grapes and other
crops. General characteristics of imidacloprid, including
biological activity, environmental safety and potential for
Insecticide Resistance Management and IPM, are presented and
discussed.
