becoming widespread in North America and Europe. Despite the economic importance
of pentatomid pests worldwide, their feeding behavior is poorly understood.
Electronically monitored insect feeding (EMIF) technology...
Temperature-dependent fecundity and survival data was integrated into a matrix population model to describe relative
Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae) population increase and age structure based on environmental
conditions. This novel modification of the classic Leslie matrix population model is presented as a way to examine how
insect populations interact...
Typhlodromus pyri (T. pyri) is a beneficial insect and key predator of Calepitrimerus vitis (C. vitis) in Pacific Coast vineyards. C. vitis is closely associated with short-shoot syndrome. The impact of horticultural (paraffinic) oils and sulfur on T. pyri is presented here. This publication contributes to integrated pest management and...
A pheromone lure baited with the sex pheromone of grape mealybug is the most reliable way to confirm the presence or absence of this important vector of grapevine leafroll-associated viruses.
This publication reviews the growth stages of grapes. For each growth stage (or group of growth stages), the document lists the more effective pesticides used to control insects, weeds, and disease, their rates, and application timing for Oregon grape growers. It also covers the effectiveness of various fungicides for control...
