Transmission efficiency and life table parameters of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) exposed to tomato spotted wilt virus-impatiens serotype

Creator:

Sether, Diane M.

Abstract:

Peppermint, Mentha piperita 'Black Mitcham' was established as a host for tomato spotted wilt virus-impatiens serotype (TSWV-I). TSWV-I infection of peppermint, initially observed in a research greenhouse (Corvallis, OR), included stunting and downward curling of leaves accompanied by bronzing, and occasionally tip necrosis.

Ambulatory and aerial dispersal among specialist and generalist phytoseiid mites

Creator:

Jung, Chuleui

Abstract:

Specialist and generalist phytoseiid mites are widely used for biological control of spider mites. Understanding dispersal attributes of these mites is important to implementing more stable, cost-efficient integrated pest management. In this regard, we studied dispersal of phytoseiid mites from a local ambulatory phase of movement within a prey patch...
