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
in situations where chemical control was either insufficient,

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.

Descriptors: Phaseolus lunatus; Liriomyza sativae; Biological
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.

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

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.

Abstract: Bacillus thuringiensis strain EG4961 was isolated from
grain dust. This strain produces a parasporal inclusion body
composed of a unique 74.4-kdal insecticidal crystal protein. This
protein is toxic to larvae and adults of several Coleopteran
species including Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata
(Say), and southern corn rootworm, Diabrotica undecimpunctata
howardi Barber, a species that is relatively unaffected by the
previously described CryIIIA insecticidal crystal protein. The
discovery of EG4961 provides for the possibility of microbial-based
control strategies for Diabrotica spp. and other Coleoptera.

Abstract: The relative short-term effect of three insecticides on
predatory arthropods and their potential to interfere with natural
predation on pest insects or to induce resurgences of white grubs
were evaluated in Kentucky bluegrass, Poa pratensis L., turf. A
single surface application of isazofos in mid-June caused
significant short-term reductions in abundance of spiders, ants,
staphylinids, carabid larvae, histerids, and other predominantly
predatory groups. Carbaryl and cyfluthrin also affected some groups
of predators, but their impact was generally less severe than for
isazofos. Pupae of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E.
Smith), and eggs of Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman,
implanted into treated or control plots 1-2 wk after treatment
sustained predation losses as high as 60 and 74%, respectively,
within 48 h. Predation on pupae was not significantly affected by
the insecticides, but predation on Japanese beetle eggs was reduced
by as much as 70% in plots that had been previously treated with
isazofos or carbaryl. Predatory Coleoptera, including Carabidae,
Staphylinidae, Cicindelidae, and Histeridae, collected from
turfgrass readily consumed Japanese beetle eggs or first-instars in
laboratory trials. Plots treated with isazofos during the Japanese
beetle oviposition period incurred significantly higher natural
populations of white grubs than did control plots. These findings
suggest that by disrupting predation on eggs and young larvae,
insecticides applied to turfgrass before scarabaeid eggs have
hatched could predispose lawns or golf courses to higher densities
of white grubs and possibly other pests.

Abstract: Horsenettle is a deep-rooted perennial weed that cannot
be easily controlled by mechanical means or by a single chemical
application. A study was conducted at two sites for two consecutive
years to identify biological factors that might limit its growth.
Insects, nematodes, and plant pathogens were collected from
horsenettle growing in bermudagrass pastures. The insects most
commonly found included the Colorado potato beetle and the eggplant
flea beetle. An unidentified lepidopteron, family Gelechiidae, was
found at very low frequency as pupae in hollow leaf chambers
constructed at the apices of flowering meristems. Infested apices
bore no fruit. Seven genera of nematodes were found in the soil at
both sites, but only very low numbers of lesion nematodes were
recovered from horsenettle roots, and these had caused little
damage. Root rot was observed under wet soil conditions on plants
damaged by trampling. A downy mildew was prevalent at both sites in
both years in October.

Descriptors: Norway; Fruit growing; Integrated systems
Abstract: Since early in the 1960s, strong research effort has
been made on developing an integrated pest management system for
different harmful insects and mites in fruit orchards. Better
knowledge of the pest species and the beneficial insects and mites,
have since 1965 resulted in a reduction of the pesticide use in our
orchards by 70 percent. We have developed action tresholds for the
most harmful phytophagous insects and mites. For one of our most
serious pests on apples, the apple fruit moth, Argyresthia
conjugella, a prognose--and warning system has been developed,
which have reduced the insecticide use against this species from 2
standard sprays a year to 1 spray each fourth year. Good results in
using standard compounds of pesticides in very low concentrations
have been obtained. These results are already taken into practical
use by the fruit growers. In the principal fruit growing areas, we
have established warming systems for apple- and pear-scab, which
have resulted in a strong reduction in the yearly number of
fungicide applications. Depending on the apple variety, a
protection program against scab, mildew and storage diseases
amounts to a total of 2-8 applications a year. A warning system for
fruit pests and fruit diseases after a modified model used in
Eastern Switerland, has been started in Western Norway this year.
So far we have very good experience with the system and the feed-
back from the growers are very positive. Now we were working on
guidelines for an integrated fruit production. From 1990 we
hopefully can start special courses for growers who want to get an
authorization in integrated fruit production.

Abstract: The impact of grazing animals and plant protection on
shrub seedling establishment was studied in 2 separate experiments.
A total of 3,665 seedlings were monitored for survival during a
sheep grazing trial in 1994, and 5,755 seedlings were monitored
during a cattle grazing trial in 1986. Approximately 1/2 of the
seedlings were located under the canopy of mature plants and 1/2
were located in the interspaces between plants. The presence of
domestic livestock and the seedling location affected both the
overall survival at the end of the growing season and the pattern
of survival during the growing season. The interaction between
these independent variables resulted in the highest survival (0.11)
for sheltered seedlings in the grazed pastures and the lowest
survival (0.009) for unprotected seedlings in the grazed pastures.
Seedlings in the ungrazed pastures had survival rates intermediate
between these 2 rates. The pattern of seedling survival was similar
in both experiments. Seedlings in the grazed pastures experienced
high mortality during the actual grazing event and immediately
after grazing. Seedlings which were unsheltered experienced the
lowest survival due to trampling. Survival rates late in the summer
were not affected by grazing but were dependent on receiving
precipitation during this normally dry period of the year. The
interaction between grazing and seedling location may partially
explain the aggregated distribution of Artemisia found in many
communities. This aggregation should affect interspecific
competition and may play a role in later stages of plant succession
within these shrub-dominated communities.

Abstract: The Dutch government has a coherent, long-term policy
regarding attainment of a sustainable development affecting
agriculture and horticulture, the requirements of which are very
strict and will be difficult to satisfy. The growers of protected
crops try to meet these requirements by developing so-called closed
growing systems. Two other approaches in the policy are a
substantial reduction of the volume of pesticides used and a very
critical evaluation of the pesticides permitted. In this
governmental policy, Integrated Pest Management has shown prospects
in horticulture; it will play a very important role in the near
future but is now considered as part of the broader concept of
Integrated Production Systems. The glasshouse industry is very
actively developing its own strategy to satisfy government targets
and market demands for high-quality products produced by
environmentally safe methods. The vegetable auctions have developed
a policy of environmentally conscious production which should put
the vegetable industry into a strong marketing position for its
produce.

Abstract: In a screening program, 16 bacterial isolates out of 179
isolated from roots and cysts caused a significant reduction (>
25%) in Globodera pallida penetration of potato roots. Six of these
isolates caused significant reductions in repeated greenhouse
tests. Spray application of the bacteria in suspensions with 0.2%
methyl cellulose increased adhesion of the bacteria on seed pieces
and promoted antagonistic activity when compared to application in
water suspensions. The antagonistic activity was shown to be
directly correlated with the number of colony forming units (cfu)
present on the tuber. The isolates Agrobacterium radiobacter and
Bacillus sphaericus at densities of 9.7 X 10(8) and 3.16 X 10(9)
cfu ml-1, respectively, caused significant reductions in root
infection of 24-41% in repeated experiments.

Abstract: The effects of three chemical fruit thinners, carbaryl,
naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and benzyladenine (BA), were compared
on predatory and phytophagous mites in a petri dish assay and in
four apple orchards. In the petri dish assay, 10 ppm of NAA was
harmless (< 50% mortality) to the phytoseiid Amblyseius fallacis
Garman, the erythraeid Balaustium putmani Smiley, and the stigmaeid
Zetzellia mali (Ewing), but mortality of Z. mali was significantly
greater than the control. BA (50 and 100 ppm) was also harmless to
A. fallacis, B. putmani, and Z. mali, although A. fallacis and Z.
mali had significantly more mortality than in controls. Carbaryl
(600 and 1,200 ppm) caused 100% mortality of A. fallacis and
94-100% mortality of Z. mali but was harmless to B. putmani. In
orchard tests, NAA (8-10 ppm) was harmless (< 25% mortality) to
mites in the families Phytoseiidae, Erythraeidae, Tetranychidae,
Tydeidae, and Tarsonemidae, but it reduced densities of Z. mali for
about 14 d. By comparison with controls and NAA, carbaryl
(500-1,200 ppm) and BA (50-150 ppm) produced significant
differences in numbers of Phytoseiidae, Z. mali, Tetranychidae,
Tydeidae, and Tarsonemidae. However, carbaryl consistently produced
significantly higher densities of Tetranychidae and lower densities
of A. fallacis and Z. mali than BA, and in one orchard induced an
outbreak of Tetranychus urticae Koch that exceeded the economic
threshold of seven per leaf.

Abstract: Infestations of the navel orangeworm Amyelois
transitella (Walker) in six central California "Nonpareil" almond
orchards were studied for 12-13 yr (1978-1991) to determine the
effect of imported parasitoids on host abundance. A decline in the
average density of navel orangeworm to less than 0.5% in late
summer as measured by percentage of attacked almonds was observed
in five orchards where insecticides were not applied during the
growing season. K-value analyses indicated a significant regulation
of the navel orangeworm population by Goniozus legneri Gordh during
the first generation on almonds after hull split. A slight increase
in navel orangeworm abundance was observed in one orchard in 1986,
after insecticide applications. Significant (but low) correlations
existed between higher yields of edible almonds and lower navel
orangeworm densities. No significant correlations were found
between total rejected almonds and numbers of the peach twig borer,
Anarsia lineatella Zeller, or ant damage. An integrated pest
management program may be possible for soft-shelled almonds by
retaining sufficient holdover almonds during winter for host-
parasitoid reproduction during the spring, and by targeting other
arthropod pests (e.g., peach twig borer and phytophagous mites)
with controls that are nondisruptive to navel orangeworm
parasitoids.

Abstract: Pesticide resistance management requires both technical
progress in research and enlightened policies governing pesticide
development, regulation, marketing and use. Improved monitoring
systems, tactics of resistance management, models of resistance
evolution, and experimentation on factors influencing resistance
evolution have added to our ability to limit resistance in field
populations of target pest insects. Greater emphasis on research in
population genetics and ecology is needed to further extend this
technology. Examples of successful resistance management with
houseflies in Denmark, cotton bollworms in Australia, pear psylla
in North America and a complex of pests and natural enemies on tree
fruits in the United States demonstrate that policy-related factors
can be a key to successful resistance management. Conversely, the
lack of success in other pest systems may be due to antiquated
policies. A recent case of resistance management in the spider mite
Tetranychus urticae illustrates new policies by industry regarding
research and pesticide labelling which will improve possibilities
for resistance management and will extend the life of newly
registered acaricides.

Abstract: Sampling for the gypsy moth fungus, Entomophaga
maimaiga, was carried out in 10 plots in Connecticut to determine
the importance of overwintering fungal load, rainfall, gypsy moth
abundance, and physiographic site conditions to fungal prevalence.
At one of the plots, gypsy moths were also exposed daily in cages
on the soil and at 2 m in shrubs to examine the pathogen
transmission potential of germinating resting spores and of conidia
produced by diseased larvae. Gypsy moth population levels and an
index of site moisture (as determined by tree composition) were
marginally related to fungus prevalence. However, the relationship
between fungal prevalence and population was an inverse one,
opposite that found in a previous study. Resting spore load did not
appear to affect prevalence; it is possible that a threshold effect
occurs. Daily sampling showed that germination of resting spores is
necessary for infection of early-stage larvae, but that conidia
produced from diseased larvae are mainly responsible for infection
of late-stage
caterpillars. Maximum germination of resting spores occurred 1 or
2 d after significant precipitation, whereas the greatest
production of conidia from diseased caterpillars took place on the
day of rainfall. We hypothesize that in areas where overwintering
resting spores are abundant, the most important determinant of
fungal effectiveness will be rainfall amount and pattern.

Abstract: Mortality of Cyclocephala hirta by the entomopathogenic
nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora was enhanced in grubs
infected with the milky disease bacterium, Bacillus popilliae (Bp).
In concentration-response assays with the nematode, LC50 values and
95% fiducial limits were 4.0 (<0.1, 14.6) infective juveniles per
grub for Bp-infected insects and 47.7 (32.0, 64.7) for non-Bp-
infected insects. The increased mortality of Bp-infected insects
was partially attributed to rapid penetration of H. bacteriophora
through the midgut wall. In in vitro assays with ligated midguts,
the time required for H. bacteriophora to penetrate the midgut wall
of Bp-infected grubs was 0.6 +/-0.1 hr, whereas the time required
in non-Bp-infected grubs was 1.3 +/- 0.1 hr. Total nematode progeny
production per milligram grub tissue did not differ significantly
between Bp-infected and non-Bp-infected grubs. However, the
proportion of progeny remaining trapped in the non-Bp-infected
cadavers at the end of the assay was greater than the proportion
remaining in Bp-infected cadavers (0.52 +/- 0.04 vs 0.13 +/- 0.05,
respectively). These data indicate that coexistence of these two
pathogens within a host can occur and that B. popilliae could be
used as a stressor on C. hirta to increase its susceptibility to H.
bacteriophora.

Abstract: An isolate (87) of the yeast Pichia guilliermondii,
protects apples from postharvest fruit rotting fungi Botrytis
cinera and Pencillium expansum. In order to examine the yeast-
pathogen interaction, B. cinera was grown on agar plates overlayed
with cellophane. Effective and non-effective yeast isolates were
applied near the young hyphal growth. Samples were taken 24 h later
from the area where the fungi and yeast had intersected. Light
microscopy revealed a general attachment of the effective
biocontrol agent P. guilliermondii (isolate 87) and a non-effective
isolate (117) of Debaryomyces hansenii. Low temperature scanning
electron microscopy (LTSEM) indicated that both species of yeast
attached to the fungal hyphae, but the 87 isolate attached
fastidiously. Twenty-four hours after applying the 87 isolate to B.
cinera, pitting and collapse of the hyphae were observed. These
observations were confirmed using transmission electron microscopy.
These features were not observed with the ineffective isolate of D.
hansenii. Further experiments indicated that attachment of P.
guilliermondii to hyphae of B. cinera could be blocked by agents
that alter protein integrity (salts, proteases, etc.) and certain
sugars. Isolates of both species produced beta-(1-3) glucanase when
cultured in various carbon sources and on cell walls of fruit
rotting pathogens. Culture supernatants from P. guilliermondii,
however, yielded two-to five-fold more beta-(1-3) glucanase
activity compared with D. hansenii. Data indicate that tenacious
attachment, along with secretion of cell wall degrading enzymes,
may play a role in the biocontrol activity of this yeast
antagonist.

Abstract: Mortality to the egg stage of Colorado potato beetle,
Leptinotarsa decemlineata(Say), from endemic predators was assessed
in unsprayed plots within commercial potato fields in western
Massachusetts in 1986 and 1987. Direct measurement of recruitment
into the egg stage and of losses to predation gave estimates of
total stage-specific mortality for each generation of Colorado
potato beetle and daily mortality rates. Abundance of endemic egg
predators was measured through direct observation and trapping.
Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer), a coccinellid, was the most
abundant predator and the only one consistently present whenever
Colorado potato beetle eggs were in the field. Total mortality to
eggs from predation was 39.9% in the second generation of 1986 and
37.8% and 58.1% in the first and second generations of 1987,
respectively. Daily mortality rate did not change significantly
during large fluctuations in prey density. Results suggest that C.
maculata can contribute to the control of both early and late
generations of Colorado potato beetle and efforts to conserve this
natural enemy will help reduce the need for chemical control.

trees; Growth; Survival; Plant nutrition; Biological control
Abstract: Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge cv. Paraguayan-22)
growing under newly planted peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch.]
trees severely stunted the trees. Neither supplemental fertilizer
nor irrigating with two 3.8-liters-hour-1 emitters per tree
eliminated tree stunting; emitters were controlled by an automatic
tensiometer set to maintain 3 kPa at a depth of 0.5 m under a tree
in bahiagrass. Preplant fumigation with ethylene dibromide at 100
liters-ha-1 increased tree growth, but not tree survival.
Fenamiphos, a nematicide, applied under the trees each spring and
fall at a rate of 11 kg-ha-1 had no positive effect on tree
survival, tree growth, or nematode populations. Bahiagrass tended
to suppress populations of Meloidogyne spp. under the trees.
Meloidogyne spp. were the only nematodes present that had mean
populations > 65 per 150 cm-3 of soil. Leaf concentrations of
several elements differed between trees growing in bahiagrass sod
and in bare ground treated with herbicides. Leaf Ca was low for all
treatments in spite of a soil pH near 6.5 and adequate soil Ca. The
severe stunting of trees grown in bahiagrass, irrespective of the
other treatments, demonstrated that bahiagrass should not be grown
under newly planted trees. The low populations of parasitic
nematodes in bahiagrass showed that bahiagrass has potential as a
preplant biological control of nematodes harmful to peach trees.
Chemical name used: ethyl 3-methyl-4-(methylthio) phenyl (1-

Abstract: An expert system termed NERISK was developed to evaluate
the effects of pesticides on arthropod predators and parasitoids in
a variety of agroecosystems. Based on a shell system (RECOG) with
minor coding modifications, the system was designed to let even a
novice user access the vast amount of information available on
pesticide impacts on natural enemies. A large database (ca. 16,000
records), a simulation model of microbial pesticide effects, and
several expert opnion components have been organized and integrated
into an easy-to-use yet robust program. This system can assist
academic, industry, and regulatory personnel make decisions
regarding the integration of pesticides with biological control
agents in many cropping systems.

Abstract: A novel Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein with a
silent activity against the Colorado potato beetle is described.
The crystal proteins are produced as bipyramidal crystals. These
crystals contain a protein of 129 kDa with a trypsin-resistant core
fragment of 72 kDa. Neither a spore-crystal mixture nor in vitro-
solubilized crystals are toxic to any of several Lepidoptera and
Coleoptera species tested. In contrast, a trypsin-treated solution
containing the 72-kDa tryptic core fragment of the protoxin is
highly toxic to Colorado potato beetle larvae. The crystal protein-
encoding gene was cloned and sequenced. The inferred amino acid
sequence of the putative toxic fragment has 37, 32, and 33%
homology to the CryIIIA, CryIIIB, and CryIIID toxins, respectively.
Interestingly, the 501 C-terminal amino acids show 41 to 48% amino
acid identity with corresponding C-terminal amino acid sequences of
other crystal proteins. Because of the toxicity of the fragment to
the Colorado potato beetle and because of the distinct similarities
of the toxic fragment with the other CryIII proteins, this gene was
given a new subclass name (cryIIIC) within the CryIII class of
coleopteran-active crystal proteins. CryIIIC represents the first
example of a crystal protein with a silent activity towards
coleopteran insect larvae. Natural CryIIIC crystals are not toxic.
Toxicity is revealed only after an in vitro solubilization and
activation step.

Abstract: During a 2-yr survey of Klauai Island, four species of
opiine parasitoids were recovered from host fruits infested with
Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) [=Dacus dorsalis Hendel]: Biosteres
arisanus (Sonan), Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (Ashmead), Psyttalia
incisi (Silvestri), and Biosteres vandenboschi (Fullaway). These
species constituted 87.5, 9, 2.4, and 1.1% of the total parasitoids
recovered in 1988, and 95.1, 0.9, 4, and 0.04% of the total
parasitoids recovered in 1989, respectively. Total islandwide
opiine parasitism rates on the basis of live parasitoids recovered
from oriental fruit fly pupae were 41.4% in 1988 and 53% in 1989.
Wild common guava, Psidium guajava L., and strawberry guava,
Psidium cattleianum Sabine, were the most prevalent hosts infested
with oriental fruit fly encountered during our roadside survey.
Population studies in a large commercial common guava orchard
indicated that oriental fruit fly infestation of fruits was
correlated with infestation of wild common guava fruits in
surrounding wild habitats. Positive correlations between numbers of
B. arisanus, the dominant parasitoid, and numbers oriental fruit
fly indicated a density-dependent relationship. Overall, percentage
parasitism of B. arisanus was significantly higher in wild habitats
than in orchard habitats. Relative abundance of D. longicaudata, P.
incisi, and B. vandenboschi were significantly higher in orchard
habitats than in wild habitats.

Abstract: The population density of Helicotylenchus lobus and the
percentage of the population with spores of Pasteuria penetrans
were determined for 10 monthly intervals in naturally infested
turfgrass soil at Riverside, California. The percentage of
nematodes with attached spores ranged from 40% to 67%. No
relationship was found between nematode density and the percentage
of nematodes with spores. The mean and maximum numbers of spores
adhering per nematode with at least one spore ranged from 2 to 8
and 7 to 66, respectively. The mean number of spores per nematode
(based on total number of H. lobus) was correlated with the
percentage of nematodes with spores. Spores adhered to both adult
and juvenile H. lobus. Between 9% and 32% of the nematodes with
spores had been penetrated and infected by the bacterium. Many
infected nematodes were dead, but mature spores were also observed
within living adult and juvenile H. lobus that exhibited no
apparent reduction in viability and motility. Spore and central
endospore diameters of this P. penetrans isolate were larger than
those reported for the type isolate from Meloidogyne incognita, but
transmission and scanning electron microscopy did not reveal
significant morphological differences between the two isolates.
Spores of the isolate associated with H. lobus did not adhere to
juveniles of M. incognita.

Abstract: Field tests were conducted in 1986 and 1987 to evaluate
control of japanese beetle larvae, Popillia japonica Newman, in
turfgrass plots by heterorhabditid and steinernematid nematodes.
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (NC strain) reduced
populations a maximum of 60%, 34 d after a fall 1986 treatment.
Control increased to 96% before pupation the following spring, and
was 93-99% of the next larval generation. Application of
Steinernema (= Neoaplectana) carpocapsae Weiser (All strain)
provided a maximum of 51% control after 34 d, 90% the next spring
(290 d after treatment), and 0% after 386 d. A spring 1987
application of H. bacteriophora resulted in 68% control 28 d after
treatment, and up to 67% of the following generation of japanese
beetle larvae in the fall (138 d after treatment). H. bacteriophora
(HP88 strain) gave 100% control after 28 d in the spring of 1987,
and 93-97% control of the next generation of larvae. No adverse
effects on nontarget organisms (mites or collembola) were observed
28 d after treatments with any of the nematodes. Our data show that
nematodes reproduce in japanese beetle larvae, survive in the field
in turfgrass, and have an influence on target hosts for a longer
period of time than previously demonstrated.

generations were observed in 1987 and two in 1988. Predation and
parasitism were found to be important mortality factors,
particularly late in the season, contributing to generation
mortality as high as 99.8%. Time series cross-correlation was used
to estimate synchrony of Colorado potato beetle eggs with
predators. Predators, including asopine pentatomids, carabids,
thomisid spiders, and coccinellids, were abundant and well
synchronized with developing Colorado potato beetle late in 1987,
corresponding to the period of highest mortality.

Abstract: Nezara viridula (L.) attacks a wide range of crops in
the tropics and subtropics and is a major pest of macadamias.
Biological control of this stink bug, by the introduction of
parasitoids, has been attempted in several countries with different
levels of success. The combined action of the egg parasitoid
Trissolcus basalis and adult parasitoid Trichopoda pilipes has
provided successful control of N. viridula on macadamias in Hawaii.
There are several additional parasitoids including the South
American tachinids Eutrichopodopsis nitens, Trichopoda giacomellii,
T. nigrifrontalis and Ectophasiopsis arcuata which have not been
exploited. The potential of these and other parasitoids for
biological control of N. viridula in macadamias, is discussed.

earworm, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and fall armyworm, Spodoptera
frugiperda (J. E. Smith), collected from fruiting cornfields in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley, of Texas and northern Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Over a 5-yr period, 34% of all fields sampled contained parasitized
corn earworm and 24.2% contained parasitized fall armyworm. Of
3,036 corn earworm prepupae and pupae collected during this study,
11.6% were parasitized; of 1,802 fall armyworm collected, 9.3% were
parasitized. Parasitism by Steinernema sp. accounted for 49.4 and
46.1% of the mortality of corn earworm and fall armyworm prepupae
and pupae, respectively.

Abstract: Endosulfan, oxamyl, and esfenvalarate all were highly
toxic to Perillus bioculatus (F.), a predator of the Colorado
potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say). Toxicity assays
consisted of topical application to eggs, nymphs, and adults;
exposure of nymphs to treated foliage; and ingestion by P.
bioculatus nymphs of Colorado potato beetle larvae previously
exposed to treated foliage. P. bioculatus egg hatch was unaffected
by topical application of the pesticides. Topical application of
neem seed extract to third-instar nymphs delayed molting and caused
deformities after the molt in some insects, whereas the synergist
piperonyl butoxide and the botanical insecticide rotenone caused
significant mortality. Cryolite (sodium fluoaluminate), Bacillus
thuringiensis var. san diego, horticultural oil, insecticidal soap,
and three fungicides (chlorothalonil, maneb, and metalaxyl) caused
very little predator mortality at any life stage tested. A control
program using these materials would likely be compatible with the
natural buildup of P. bioculatus populations or with augmentative
release of this predator. In a small-plot field study, release of
P. bioculatus in conjunction with bacterial insecticides provided
significant control of Colorado potato beetles for at least 2 wk,
suppressing larval populations by 76% compared with plots treated
only with bacterial insecticides.

Abstract: Pitfall traps were used to monitor the seasonal activity
of arthropod predators, parasitoids, and decomposers in replicated
plots of centipedegrass turf for 3 yr (1989-1991) at two locations.
During 1990 and 1991, the influence of single or combined
herbicide, insecticide, and fertilizer applications on these
beneficials was assessed. In total, 21 species of carabids in 13
genera and 17 species of staphylinids in 14 genera were represented
in pitfall-trap collections. Nonsminthurid collembolans, ants,
spiders, and parasitic Hymenoptera were adversely affected in the
short term by insecticide applications targeting the twolined
spittlebug, Prosapia bicincta (Say). Other taxa, notably oribatid
Acari, increased over time in response to pesticide or fertilizer
applications. Although various taxa were reduced by pesticide
application during three of four sample intervals, a lack of
overall differences in season totals suggests that the disruptive
influence of certain chemical management practices may be less
severe than expected in the landscape.

Abstract: Oriental fruit fly, Dacus dorsalis Hendel, captures were
higher on yellow and white than on orange, red, light green, dark
green, blue, and black spheres hung in guava (Psidium guajava L.)
trees. Captures were greater on 4-cm than on 2-cm yellow spheres.
During a series of four 1-wk study periods, mean numbers of D.
dorsalis captured on yellow and white spheres were 4.4 and 6.3
flies per sphere, respectively. Four species of D. dorsalis
parasitoids were also captured on 4-cm yellow and white spheres:
Biosteres arisanus (Sonan), Psyttalia incisi (Silvestri), Biosteres
vandenboschi (Fullaway), and Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Ashmead). These species constituted 84.1, 5.3, 5.3, and 5.3%,
respectively, of the total braconid parasitoids captured on yellow
spheres and 83.3, 10.5, 3.1, and 3.1%, respectively, of the total
parasitoids captured on white spheres. Mean numbers of B. arisanus,
the most abundant opiine parasitoid, were 1.6 wasps per yellow
sphere and 0.8 wasp per white sphere. This research indicates
yellow or white spheres would be useful devices for monitoring D.
dorsalis and parasitoid populations simultaneously.

Abstract: The attractiveness to A. ludens adults of a combination
of odor of fermented chapote fruit and pheromone was compared to
attractiveness of both chapote and pheromone in laboratory
bioassays. The chemical treatments were tested on 2-day-old and 10-
to 12-day-old (sexually immature and mature, respectively), virgin
and mated, nonstarved and starved, males and females during the
early afternoon when flies were sexually inactive and the late
afternoon when sexually mature flies were sexually active. The
chapote-pheromone combination was equal to chapote odor alone in
attractiveness to males and mated females. Pheromone partially
inhibited attraction of immature females to chapote odor. Chapote
odor almost completely inhibited attraction of sexually active
females to pheromone. The potential for using a combination of
chapote and pheromone as a trap bait is discussed.

Abstract: For the first time, resistance to the CRYIIIA
coleopteran specific delta endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis var.
san diego or tenebrionis is reported. Colorado potato beetles,
Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), were selected in the laboratory
after exposure in potato fields in Michigan. After 12 generations
of selection, the selected strain was 59 times more resistant than
the unselected strain and 24-35 times more resistant than other
susceptible or insecticide-resistant strains. We observed no cross-
resistance between organophosphate, carbamate, or pyrethroid
resistance and B. thuringiensis resistance. No difference in
movement induced by B. thuringiensis or initial feeding behavior
was observed between selected and unselected strains, although a
shift toward petiole feeding behavior was observed in adults (of
both strains) that were stressed by B. thuringiensis. The selected
strain oviposited at a reduced rate of 0.1 +/- 0.15 (mean +/- SD)
egg masses per day) on treated foliage; the unselected strain was
oostatic. Based on these results, it is recommended that resistance
management strategies be developed and deployed for both
conventionally applied B. thuringiensis products and B.
thuringiensis transgenic plants.

Abstract: The orchard pests: codling moth, winter moth and leaf
miners tested are effectively controlled by growth regulators:
diflubenzuron, teflubenzuron and triflumuron. Diflubenzuron reduced
considerably the population of apple blossom weevil and apple
sucker. The selectivity of insect growth regulators to the tested
predators (Anthocoris nemorum, Chrysopa carnea, Coccinella
septempunctata, Episyrphus balteatus, Typhlodromus pyri) and
parasitic wasp (Trichogramma cacoeciae) depends in a high degree on
the predator species and their development stage. Generalising, one
can say, that growth regulators are only partially selective to the
majority of natural enemies of orchard pests.

(SeMNPV) was field-tested in small plots and compared with Bacillus

armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hubner) on tomatoes, peppers, and
garbanzo beans in the Central Valley of California and tomatoes in
the Guasave Valley of Sinaloa, Mexico. Weekly application of SeMNPV
at rates of 2.5 X 10(11) and 12.5 X 10(11) occlusion bodies (OB)/ha
gave season-long control of beet armyworm and provided significant
reductions in plant damage compared with untreated control plots.
On pepper and garbanzo bean, respectively, the level of beet
armyworm reduction and foliar protection was significantly greater
in plots treated with 12.5 X 10(11) OB/ha of SeMNPV than in the
plots treated with B. thuringiensis. However, the degree of control
achieved at the low rate of the virus was similar to the high rate
of SeMNPV and B. thuringiensis on all crops tested. Bioassay of
chrysanthemum leaves sprayed with the SeMNPV killed > 98% beet
armyworm immediately after application and retained 50% of its
original pathogenicity 7 d after treatment. Both Orzan LS and skim
milk improved virus persistence. The results of these tests confirm
the efficacy of the SeMNPV for control of the beet armyworm on
several vegetable crops.

Abstract: After assimilating and killing host nematodes,
Hirsutella rhossiliensis sporulates (i.e., produces external
hyphae, phialides, and spores) from assimilative hyphae within the
cadaver, the spores adhere to and infect nematodes. The ability of
the fungus to sporulate from hyphae produced in vitro, rather than
in host nematodes, was tested. Hyphae in the form of discrete
vegetative colonies were grown in shake culture (potato-dextrose
broth). In moist chambers, sporulation from vegetative colonies
(rinsed free of broth) and from host nematodes was identical. To
determine whether vegetative colonies sporulated in soil, vials
were packed with nonheated, heated, or autoclaved loamy sand (17
cm3) containing 0-50 rinsed vegetative colonies. After 14 days at
20 C, healthy juveniles (J2) of Heterodera schachtii were added and
recovered 66 h later. The percentage of J2 with at least one
attached spore of H. rhossiliensis increased nonlinearly with
increased numbers of colonies added per vial. The percentage was
not affected by soil treatment, and virtually all J2 with attached
spores were infected by the fungus. Approximately four vegetative
colonies per 17 cm3 of soil were required to obtain 50% parasitism
of J2 in loamy sand and in six other raw soils that varied in
texture and other properties. Penetration of cabbage roots by J2
was suppressed in raw loamy sand containing rinsed vegetative

Abstract: Hopper population was prevailing throughout the year in
all types of orchard but it was higher in old orchard as compared
to new and neglected orchard which may be due to different
ecological conditions prevailing in different types of orchards.
The results indicated that spraying of 0.2 per cent carbaryl in
mango orchard during off-season (November 1983) does help in
delaying the development of nymphal population during flowering
period. This may help in avoiding the insecticidal spraying during
flowering and fruit setting, and thereby protecting the pollinators
in mango orchard which are active during this period.

Abstract: Irradiated adult Mediterranean fruit flies, Ceratitis
capitata (Wiedemann), were released at an average rate of 3 million
per week for 5 mo in a sterile insect technique (SIT) program to
suppress a wild C. capitata population in the 13-km2 area of Kula,
Maui, HI. Concurrent with sterile fly releases, the braconid larval
parasitoid Diachasmimorpha tryoni (Cameron) was released at an
average rate of 388,000 per week. The average weekly overflooding
ratio was 76.0 +/- 4.8 sterile/wild flies. Mean number (+/-SEM) of
male C. capitata trapped per day was significantly reduced to 0.15
+/- 0.05 in Kula compared with 1.30 +/- 0.17 in a nearby control
area. The mean percentage of C. capitata eggs hatching was
significantly lower in Kula (22.9 +/- 4.2%) than in the control
area (90.2 +/- 0.9%). The overall mean percentage parasitism of C.
capitata in fruit samples was significantly higher in Kula (47.2 +/-
2.7%) than in the control area (20.3 +/- 3.1%). After the first
month of parasitoid releases, D. tryoni became the dominant
parasitoid present in Kula, representing 61.6 +/- 6.3% of the
parasitoids recovered from C. capitata in fruit samples. The mean
number of adult C. capitata recovered per kilogram of fruit was
significantly lower in Kula (9.8 +/- 1.3) compared with the control
area (92.6 +/- 22.7). This field experiment suggests that the
concurrent release of parasitoids and sterile flies represents a
valuable approach to eradication of established Mediterranean fruit
fly populations.

Abstract: Field cage tests in 1987 established that releases of
5-10 Perillus bioculatus (F.) and Podisus macutiventris (Say) per
plant were able to reduce high density populations (approximately
450 per plant) of Colorado potato beetle by approximatey 50%. P.
bioculatus greater foliage protection than P. maculiventris. In
1988, in similar cage tests, P. bioculatus released at rates of 2-8
per plant reduced Colorado potato beetle densities of approximately
100 per plant by approximately 8.5% per predator released. Field
plot tests in 1988 confirmed cage results with P. bioculatus and
demonstrated that 1 and 3 predators per plant suppressed
populations of Colorado potato beetle by 30 and 62%, respectively.
Three P. bioculatus per plant significantly reduced defoliation and
increased yield 65% over the untreated control. Progeny production
of a laboratory colony of P. bioculatus maintained on Trichoplusia
ni (Hubner) larvae was equivalent to that for a colony maintained
on Colorado potato beetle larvae. Our data indicate that
inoculative releases of stinkbug predators for suppression of
Colorado potato beetle populations could be an important component
of an integrated management program.

Abstract: The objective of the study was to determine if exposure
of young lambs to leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.) would increase
the consumption of this plant. Orphan lambs were exposed to leafy
spurge from birth to 11 weeks of age as a water soluble extract
mixed with milk replacer and as freshly harvested plants. Ewe-
reared lambs were exposed to leafy spurge by grazing them on a
leafy spurge-infested pasture. Study 1 investigated the consumption
of vegetative and flowering leafy spurge paired with arrowleaf
balsam root (Balsamorhiza sagittata (Pursh)Nutt.) by orphan lambs
during a 30-min feeding period. Experienced lambs consumed a higher
percentage leafy spurge than naive lambs (P<0.03). The interaction
of leafy spurge phenophase and previous experience (P<0.02) showed
that experienced lambs preferred leafy spurge regardless of
phenophase (70% of intake) and naive lambs only preferred leafy
spurge when it was vegetative. Study 2 investigated the preference
for leafy spurge on pastures with high or low leafy spurge biomass.
Experienced compared to naive lambs had a higher percentage of
bites (P<0.001) and preferred leafy spurge in the high spurge
biomass pasture, but not in low biomass pastures. Naive lambs
avoided leafy spurge in both pastures. Study 3 was a pasture trial
that investigated spurge consumption by orphan and ewe-reared
lambs. Percent bites and time spent grazing leafy spurge were not
affected (P>0.23) by previous exposure, but daily herbage removal
was greater (P<0.09) in pastures grazed by experienced compared to
naive lambs (876 vs. 685 g/lamb, respectively). Experienced ewe-
reared lambs had a higher rate of biting on leafy spurge (P<0.06)
than naive or orphan lambs. These studies indicate that previous
experience will be an important factor affecting the use of sheep
as a biological control agent for leafy spurge.

Abstract: Oviposition and development of the ichneumonid Trathala
flavoorbitalis (Cam.) a parasitoid of the brinjal shoot and fruit
borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guen., was investigated. The parasitoid
responded to a host larva by inserting its ovipositor (stinging)
into the larva, whichever instar (first to fifth) it was. All the
first and about 50% of the second instars that were stung and
oviposited in, were mutilated and died as a result. Successful
parasitization and parasitoid development up to adult emergence
occurred in 53% of the third, 57% of the fourth and 41% of the
fifth instar host larvae. When given a choice of instars for
oviposition, the parasitoid avoided all first instar and most
second instar larvae, while third to fifth instars were equally
accepted. The total developmental time of the parasitoid was much
the same (about 20-24 days) whichever larval instar (second to
fifth) was parasitized. The parasitized host at pupation contained
different developmental stages of the parasitoid, differing in this
respect from most other species of larval-pupal parasitoids.

Abstract: Two field experiments were done to evaluate spray timing
relative to peak egg hatch, of Bacillus thuringiensis var. san
diego (M-One Insecticide, Mycogen Corp., San Diego, Calif.) for
control of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)
in potatoes. In the first experiment, 186.1 +/ - 4.5 (average +/-
SEM) cumulative DD (n = 3 yr, 10 degrees C base threshold) were
recorded from first oviposition by overwintered beetles until peak
(33-64%) egg mass hatch. In 1989, when no rainfall occurred during
the period when spray treatments were made, effective potato beetle
control was achieved with B. thuringiensis if the first spray, was
applied within 9 d of peak egg hatch and subsequent sprays were
applied at either 5- or 10-d intervals. In 1990, when heavy
rainfall occurred after the first spray, spray interval (5 or 10 d)
had a greater effect on potato beetle control than did timing of
the first spray application, and only the 5-d schedule treatments
resulted in effective control. Results of a second field experiment
in 1990 demonstrated that a 7- or 10-d interval between sprays of
B. thuringiensis (following the initial spray at peak egg hatch)
was too long to result in acceptable control of Colorado potato
beetle if rainfall occurs after the initial spray. However, a 10-d
spray schedule using an encapsulated formulation of B.
thuringiensis var. san diego (MYX-1806, Mycogen Corp., San Diego,
Calif.) resulted in effective control of Colorado potato beetle.
Methods for estimation of peak potato beetle egg hatch in potatoes
for use in timing of B. thuringiensis spray applications are
presented.

Abstract: vPETE was conceived as a means to better integrate a
phenological model into an expert system for Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) in deciduous tree fruits. We discuss vPETE as an
insect phenology model driven by degree-days via an operating
system technique called a "PIPE" (Ritchie and Thompson 1974). A
distributed delay routine is the basis of vPETE, which configures
the life cycle of an organism and expands it for new generations.
vPETE simplifies phenological modeling in larger software systems
and is adaptable to many systems. Operating system techniques used
by vPETE are dynamic memory allocation, stream input/output, and
multitasking. All output from vPETE is communicated to a graphical
display program or file. No human interaction is performed.
Versions of vPETE run on parallel computing platforms.

Abstract: Studies were conducted in commercial greenhouses to
examine seasonal population dynamics of western flower thrips,
Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) on two crops: bell peppers,
Capsicum annuum (L.) and long English cucumbers, Cucumis sativus
(L.). Yellow sticky traps were used to monitor density and sex
ratio of the dispersing adult population. Leaf and flower samples
were taken to determine the spatial distribution of adults and
larvae, and to investigate the relationship between trap catch and
density of F. occidentalis on the plants. Trap catch peaked at
different times during the growing season in each greenhouse. As
trap catch increased, numbers of F. occidentalis adults and
immatures on flowers and leaves also increased. On both crops, the
majority (84-95%) of adults in flowers were females. Greater than
85% of larvae were found on leaves. Adult male F. occidentalis were
rarely found on plants, even when traps were catching high numbers.
Female F. occidentalis were always found in flowers before they
were found on leaves and were found on sticky traps only when the
thrips population started to increase. Used together, sticky traps
and flower monitoring allow quick detection of potential "hot
spots" of thrips activity. Control measures can be applied
immediately on a local rather than grand scale. Introductions of
the predatory mite Amblyseius cucumeris (Oudemans) did not control
the thrips population in most of the greenhouses monitored.
However, the minute pirate bug, Orius tristicolor (White), shows
promise for future use as an effective biological control agent in
commercial vegetable greenhouses.

Abstract: The white peach scale, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona
(Targioni-Tozzetti) is a pest on the purple granadilla, Passiflora
edulis Sims which is often grafted onto the rootstock of the red
granadilla, Passiflora caerulea L.. The adult female feeds on the
main stem of the granadilla and it moves up to the vines as the
infestation increases. Severe infestations of the scale can cause
die back of the granadilla stems and eventually the entire plant
can die. The white peach scale can be bred on butternut pumpkins,
Cucurbita moschata Duch. and potato, Solanum tuberosum. L.. At 25
degrees C a life cycle took 42 to 56 days. The purple granadilla,
Passiflora edulis and the yellow granadilla, Passiflora edulis
forma flavicarpa Degener are very susceptible to the white peach
scale. It was also found that seedlings contaminated with scale,
died prematurely after being planted out. Two parasitoids have been
identified in South Africa, namely Aspidiotiphagus sp. and
Arrhenophagus chionaspidis Aurivillius, but they are not able to
keep the white peach scale under control. A few parasitoids are
found in other countries which should be introduced if biological
control of the white peach scale is to be achieved.
