Population dynamics of the cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)

Creator:: Isaacson, Dennis
Abstract:: The dynamics of a field population of the cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae L., were studied near Jordan, Linn County, Oregon. In both 1970 and 1971 larval populations were so large that all foliage of the host weed, tansy ragwort, Senecio jacobaea L., was consumed. The ensuing starvation accounted for the...

The effects of N-1-Naphthylphthalamic acid on growth of yellow nutsedge and its control with N-Phosphonomethyl glycine

Creator:: Paller, Enrique C.
Abstract:: Greenhouse and growth chamber experiments were conducted with the following objectives: (a) to study the effects of N-1-naphthylphthalamic acid (naptalam) on shoot and tuber production, rhizome transformation, and growth of yellow nutsedge (Cyperus esculentus L.) plants; (b) to study the effects of N-phosphonomethyl glycine (glyphosate) on nutsedge plants at different...

Foliar vs. root uptake of the herbicide Hoe 23408 in Italian ryegrass and wild oats

Creator:: West, Geralyn Marie
Abstract:: HOE 23408 [methyl 2-[ 4-( 2, 4- dichlorophenoxy )phenoxy]propanoate] is a herbicide used to selectively-control Italian ryegrass (Lolium muitiflorum Lam.) and wild oats (Avena fatua L.) in wheat. The objective of this research was to compare the relative importance of foliar and root uptake of the herbicide in these two...

Influence of temperature and photoperiod on the developmental biology of the obliquebanded leafroller, Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris) (Lepidoptera:Tortricidae)

Creator:: Ranga Rao, Gangavalli V.
Abstract:: Developmental thresholds and thermal unit (degree day) requirements for eggs, different larval instars, pupal stage and preoviposition period were determined for the obliquebanded leafroller (OBLR), Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris). Separate thresholds and degree day requirements were determined for males and females, but differences between the sexes were not significant. However, there...

Genetic studies with Russian wheat aphid (Diuraphis noxia Mordvilko) in PI 294994 bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Creator:: Elsiddig, Ahmed A.
Abstract:: Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), is a widely distributed species in western north America, and a major economic pest of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The objectives of this study were to : 1) determine the inheritance of seedling and adult plant resistances in...

Salivation and engorgement parameters of sucking insect vectors : implications in pathogen transmission

Creator:: Shieh, Jong-neng
Abstract:: The probing behavior and feeding activity of green peach aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer, on Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. tenebrionis- transgenic potatoes, insecticide treated potatoes, and host plants with different preference were electronically monitored. I found that first, transgenic potatoes had no effect on green peach aphid probing suggesting that transmission of...

Conservation of arthropod natural enemies in broccoli with relay strip-cropping

Creator:: McGrath, Daniel M. (Daniel Morton)
Abstract:: Relay strip-cropping combines two vegetation management tactics, under-sowing and strip-management. In this study conducted from 1994 though 1997, a cover crop seed-mixture containing oats (Avena sativa L. var. "Monida"), common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), annual ryegrass (Lolium multflorum Lam.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) was...

Effects of synthetic 9-oxodectrans-2-enoic acid on the foraging activities of honey bees (Apis mellifera L.)

Creator:: Youngs, Lorna C.
Abstract:: An experimental formulation of 9 -oxodec-trans-2-enoic acid, the major component of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) queen pheromone, was tested for its effect on worker foraging behavior in the pollination of sweet cherries (Prunus avium L. ). The test formulation consisted of a solid beeswax cylinder impregnated with a measured...
