Sampling methods, biology and management of the mint flea beetle in central Oregon peppermint

Creator:: Morris, Mark A.
Abstract:: Sampling techniques were evaluated to quantify immature mint flea beetle (MFB), Longitrsus waterhousei Kutschera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), on peppermint (Mentha piperita L.), in central Oregon. During the study period, 1985-1988, soil samples of 350 cm³ were effective for collecting immature MFB. Sifting soil samples through screens was effective for estimating post-feeding...

Biology and management of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), in sweet cherry

Creator:: Omeg, Michael Kent
Abstract:: The seasonal biology of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris), was studied to improve its management in Mid-Columbia area sweet cherry orchards. Overwintering OBLR larvae began to emerge from hibernacula at bud stage 2 (side green). Most overwintering larvae emerged from hibernacula within three weeks of first bud swell and...

Biological control of purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria by two chrysomelid beetles Galerucella pusilla and G. calmariensis

Creator:: Schooler, Shon
Abstract:: In the first part of this study we monitored the development of biological control of purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria over a six-year period at Morgan Lake in western Oregon. In 1992, two beetles, Galerucella pusilla and G. calmariensis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), were released to control the wetland weed at this test...

Ecology of the predatory mite, Pergamasus quisquiliarum Canestrini (Acari: Mesostigmata)

Creator:: Groth, Eric M.
Abstract:: Pergamasus quisquiliarum Canestini is a polyphagous predatory mite that has been shown to feed on the economically important arthropod, Scutigerella immaculata Newport (Symphyla: Scutigerellidae), Collembola, Diptera larvae, Enchytraeid worms, and miscellaneous other soil organisms. This study examined the feeding behavior of P. quisquiliarum, the effects of cover cropping and tillage...

Prey-stage preference in phytoseiid mites

Creator:: Blackwood, J. Scott
Abstract:: Knowledge of how individual organisms behave in their environment can provide a greater understanding of population dynamics. In a predator-prey system, the choices made by predators when foraging for prey are important aspects of behavior. Particularly in the case of a stage-structured prey population, how the predator selects prey stages...

The potential of endemic natural enemies to suppress pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola Förster, in the Hood River Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Booth, Steven R.
Abstract:: This thesis addressed the potential of endemic predaceous and parasitic arthropods of the Hood River Valley, Oregon to suppress the pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola F8rster. Natural enemies adequately suppressed psylla in three of seven unsprayed orchards of differing vegetational settings, orchard age, and size. Relatively few psylla natural enemies dispersed...

Characteristics of Typhlodromus americanus Chant and Yoshida-Shaul (Acari: phytoseiidae) as a biological control agent of Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi) (Acari: tetranychidae)

Creator:: Horton, Rene N.
Abstract:: The life history, temperature, humidity, and feeding requirements of the phytoseiid predator mite, Typhlodromus americanus Chant and Yoshida-Shaul were tested in the laboratory. Occurance of the mite in the field during different times of the year was investigated as well. Effects of temperature and humidity on egg hatch, the feeding...

Biological control of purple loosestrife Lythrum salicaria (Lythraceae) : stability of control and integration with wetland management practices

Creator:: Schat, Marjolein
Abstract:: Purple loosestrife is a wetland perennial that came to the eastern seaboard of North America in ship ballast and raw wool in the 1800's. Since coming to the United States, it has spread across the country, forming dense monospecific stands in wetlands. Mechanical and chemical control was expensive and ineffective,...

The biology and seasonality of the parasitiod Trioxys pallidus Haliday in western Oregon

Creator:: Cohn, Judy L.
Abstract:: Seasonal synchrony between the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) and its newly introduced parasitoid Trioxys pallidus Haliday was examined in the field to evaluate the effectiveness of parasitoid based biological control in filbert orchards of Oregon. Fieldemergence observations showed that 50% eclosion of the aphid occurred 14 days before that...
