Abstract:: Cydia latiferreana Wlshm. is recognized as the key insect pest of cultivated filbert (hazelnut) in Oregon. The purpose of this study was to obtain information on mating and oviposition behavior of the adult insect, to calculate the lower temperature threshold and degree-days required for egg development, and to develop an...

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...

Abstract:: Four sampling techniques were evaluated to estimate clover aphid, Nearctaphis bakeri (Cowen), abundance in red clover fields in the Willamette Valley. The Berlese funnel method detected one to four times more aphids than other sampling techniques. Visual assessment often underestimated the high aphid densities during the flowering and seeding of...

Abstract:: Experiments were performed to determine the nature of maize influence on bean disease in additive-type intercrops. Overall effects of intercrops on angular leaf spot (caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola) in Kenya indicated >23% reductions (P<0.05) in area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) in two of three season-site combinations. Fertilization tended...
