Abstract:: The western cherry fruit fly, Rhagoletis indifferens Curran, was studied to determine the suitability of the sterile insect technique for its control. To obtain insect material, field collection of maggots is preferred to sifting of soil or rearing on artificial diet. The western cherry fruit fly is strictly univoltine; only...

Abstract:: Ovipositional behavior of the codling moth, Laspeyresia pomonella (L.), on several varieties of apples and pears grown in the Pacific Northwest was investigated during the spring/summer of 1979. Field studies showed that early in the season more eggs were laid on the Bosc variety than on several other apple and...

Abstract:: Commercial filbert orchards throughout the Willamette Valley were surveyed for natural enemies of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze). A large number of predaceous insects were found to prey upon M. coryli, particularly members of the families Coccinellidae, Miridae, Chrysopidae, Hemerobiidae, and Syrphidae. Also, a parasitic Hymenopteran (Mesidiopsis sp.) and...

Abstract:: Levels of resistance to six selected insecticides of eleven field populations of the filbert aphid Mvzocallis coryli (Goetze) were determined by using the leaf-dip residue technique. Test insecticides included compounds widely used in commercial filbert orchards, namely, carbaryl, diazinon, endosulfan, phosalone, fenvalerate and oxydemetonmethyl. Aphid samples were collected within a...

Abstract:: A classical biological control project was undertaken against the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze), in western Oregon. Hazelnut orchards in Spain, France, and Italy were searched for natural enemies of the aphid, and a parasitic wasp, Trioxys pallidus Haliday, was imported, quarantined, mass-reared, and released in Oregon orchards. The wasp...

Creator:: Saeed, Mohammad
Abstract:: A parasitic wasp, Trioxys pallidus Haliday (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae) was imported from Europe and initially released against the filbert aphid Mvzocallis coryli (Goetze) in hazelnut (filbert) orchards of the Willamette Valley, Oregon beginning in 1984. In the present study, I investigated the establishment rates of this parasitoid. A total of 13...

Abstract:: Toxicological studies were carried out to evaluate the susceptibility of codling moth, Cydia pomonella L. to different insecticides. Bioassay procedures for adults and larvae were standardized in terms of posttreatment holding and temperature, age and sex of insects, insecticide formulations and selection of a reference strain. This study detected a...
