Monitoring pesticide resistance in Psylla pyricola Foerster from western Oregon pear orchards

Creator:: Follett, Peter A.
Abstract:: A modified slide-dip bioassay was used to survey and establish baseline resistance levels in Psylla pyricola Foerster from western Oregon orchards to four pesticides. Orchards selected in the Hood River, Rogue River and Willamette Valleys spanned a wide range of environmental and management conditions. During the study period of 1982-1983,...

Biological control of spider mites (Acari: Tetranychidae) on grape emphasizing regional aspects

Creator:: Prischmann, Deirdre A.
Abstract:: During summer of 1998 and 1999, 34 and 10 vineyard sites, respectively, were sampled to assess spider mite pests and associated biological control by phytoseiid mites. Vineyards studied spanned five major valleys in western Oregon where grape production occurs. Leaf samples were taken from site perimeters and centers. One leaf...

Interspecific predation and cannibalism of immatures by adult female Metaseiulus occidentalis, Typhlodromus pyri (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and Zetzellia mali Schueten (Acari: Stigmaeidae)

Creator:: MacRae, Ian Vance, 1958-
Abstract:: Interspecific predation and cannibalism and associated rates of oviposition were assessed for adult female Metaseiulus occidentalis (Nesbitt) and Typhlodromus pyri Scheuten when provided non-limiting amounts of either eggs, larvae, protonymphs, or deutonymphs. Tests with all four stages of phytoseiids and larvae of Tetranychus urticae Koch were carried out at 25°C....

Responses of males to a pheromone blend of female Oriental fruit moth with and without E8, E10-dodecadien-1-ol, a pheromone component of codling moth (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)

Creator:: Allred, Darin B.
Abstract:: E8,E10-dodecadien-1-ol, the primary component of the female sex pheromone of codling moth, Cydia pomonella L., has no attraction to male Oriental fruit moth (OFM), C. molesta (Busck). However, this compound when added to the OFM pheromone blend of Z8-dodecenyl acetate (85.5%), E8-dodecenyl acetate (5.5%), and Z8- dodecen -1 -ol (9.0%),...

AppleMgr, a prototype decision aid for apple pest management

Creator:: Haley, Sue
Abstract:: Computer decision aids can help integrate and apply diverse sources of information and expertise to problems of integrated pest management (IPM) in agriculture and forestry. AppleMgr combines a rule-based expert system with databases and spreadsheets in a prototype decision aid intended to be expanded and modified for use by extension...

The SELCTV database : the susceptibility of arthropod natural enemies to agricultural pests to pesticides

Creator:: Theiling, Karen M.
Abstract:: Documentation of the side effects of pesticides on arthropod natural enemies has expanded rapidly since the 1950's as part of an increase in non-target side effects literature. Most reviews have been based on empirical analysis of selected literature. The SELCTV database was developed to make a larger information base accessible...

Use of a geographical information system to modify pheromone trap-based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) damage

Creator:: Drapek, Raymond James
Abstract:: The GRASS (V. 4.0) geographical information system (GIS) was used to test the hypothesis that pheromone trap based predictions of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) damage in processed sweet corn could be improved by considering spatial patterns of corn plantings and wind blocking features around the trap. Wind blocking features include: tree...

Biological control of spider mites by the predatory mite Neoseiulus fallacis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in ornamental nursery systems

Creator:: Pratt, Paul D.
Abstract:: We identified and evaluated a phytoseiid predator as a biological control agent of multiple spider mites pests that occur in ornamental nurseries. When comparing species, Neoseiulus fallacis (Garman) had a wider prey range than Galendromus occidentalis (Nesbitt), a higher probability of overwintering than Neoseiulus califomicus McGregor and was equally or...
