Abstract:: In the Pajaro Valley near Watsonville, California, twospotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) populations were surveyed in 1983 and '84 to detect the influence of immigrants from nursery plants or surrounding vegetation on subsequent resistance development to cyhexatin and formetanate in strawberry fields. Susceptible mites (cyhexatin LC50 = 0.0039 %...

Creator:: Theiling, Karen M.
Abstract:: Documentation of the side effects of pesticides on arthropod natural enemies has expanded rapidly since the 1950's as part of an increase in non-target side effects literature. Most reviews have been based on empirical analysis of selected literature. The SELCTV database was developed to make a larger information base accessible...

Abstract:: A pest management program for variegated cutworm (VC), Peridroma saucia (Hubner), in Oregon peppermint was developed based on studies of pheromone trapping, sampling methods, and economic thresholds. Pheromone traps effectively trapped VC males and were used to reflect development and oviposition trends. Trap height was linearly correlated to moth catch...

Abstract:: The early stages of secondary succession of the McDonald and Paul Dunn State Forests, Corvallis, Oregon, were grouped into three stages; herb, herb-shrub, and shrub, based on vegetation types. Flowers of herbaceous species and residual shrubs dominated in the early years after clear-cutting. Woody plants became increasing abundant in the...

Abstract:: Douglas-fir, Pseudotsuga menziesii and white alder, Alnus rhombifolia, species that are prevalent in the Pacific Northwest, were fed to larvae of the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L. Gypsy moth larvae from different familial lines (egg masses) from a single geographic population were evaluated on these hosts. The larvae were fed...

Creator:: Baan, Hugo E., van de
Abstract:: Factors influencing pesticide susceptibility and resistance were studied in Psylla pyricola Foerster, and its mirid predator, Deraeocoris brevis Knight in the Rogue River Valley, Oregon. Factors studied were at the biochemical, life history, and population ecology levels. Studies on detoxification enzymes showed that glutathione S-transferase and cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase activities...

Abstract:: The identity and distribution of ant species preying on the western spruce budworm (Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman) was investigated in eastern Oregon and western Montana. A sticky trap was developed to index ant foraging activity in the canopy by intercepting ants falling from the tree as they traveled between canopy and...

Abstract:: Developmental requirements were determined for both larva and pupa as 503 and 176 degree-days (dd) above a lower threshold of 5°C. Adult emergence occurred from 300 to 700 dd accumulated from January 1st. Cumulative male emergence preceded female's by 50 - 80 dd. A PETE phenology model modified to include...
