Creator:: Boudreau, Mark Alan, 1958-
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...

Creator:: Morris, Mark A.
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...

Creator:: Coop, Leonard Bryan
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...

Creator:: Kelly, Alice M.
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...

Creator:: Dreves, Amy J.
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...

Creator:: Fitzpatrick, Greg S.
Abstract:: I conducted field studies to determine the effect of insect herbivory and intraspecific plant competition on ragwort Senecio jacobaea. The objectives were to determine the patterns and causes in the distribution of the ragwort flea beetle Longitarsus jacobaeae foraging among varying densities of ragwort, to measure the behavioral and numerical...
