A model study of a plant-herbivore system

Creator:: Stimac, Jerry Lynn
Abstract:: The dynamics of tansy ragwort, Senecio jacobaea L. , and the cinnabar moth, Tyria jacobaeae (L.) were studied with the aid of a system simulation model. The model development and validation were based on knowledge of the plant and herbivore gathered from the literature, four years of data from previous...

Classical biological control of the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) (Homoptera:Aphididae) in western Oregon

Creator:: Messing, Russell H.
Abstract:: A classical biological control project was undertaken against the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze), in western Oregon. Hazelnut orchards in Spain, France, and Italy were searched for natural enemies of the aphid, and a parasitic wasp, Trioxys pallidus Haliday, was imported, quarantined, mass-reared, and released in Oregon orchards. The wasp...

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...

Seedling recruitment of hairy nightshade and other summer annual weeds in irrigated row crops

Creator:: Peachey, Ronald Edward
Abstract:: This study evaluated the effects of tillage system, rotational tillage sequences, and winter seed burial depth on weed seedling recruitment in irrigated cropping systems. Notill (NT) planting of vegetable crops reduced emergence of hairy nightshade by 77 to 99% and Powell amaranth emergence from 50 to 87% compared to conventional...

Integration of microbial and chemical controls against codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.) : laboratory and field evaluation

Creator:: Bajwa, Waheed Ibrahim
Abstract:: The feasibility of managing codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), with mixtures of Bacillus thuringiensis-based microbial and selected chemical insecticides was studied under laboratory and field conditions. Joint actions (synergism, additivity and antagonism) of these mixtures were determined for both egg and larval stages. Higher rates of microbial control agents (MCAs),...

Life-history, growth and interference of cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis L.)

Creator:: Sheley, Roger Leslie
Abstract:: Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum L.) and yellow starthistle (Centaurea soistitialis L.) have invaded over 3 million ha of grasslands in the western U.S. Future management will require an understanding of the conditions, mechanisms, and processes which control species dominance, community dynamics, and desirable plant establishment in these alien dominated annual rangelands....

Biotic barriers to colonizing new hosts by the cinnabar moth Tyria jacobaeae (L.)(Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)

Creator:: Karacetin, Evrim
Abstract:: The cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae (L.), Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) is an icon in population ecology and biological control that has recently lost its shine based on evidence that (1) it is less effective than alternatives (such as the ragwort flea beetle Longitarsus jacobaeae (Waterhouse) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) for controlling ragwort Senecio jacobaea...

Ambulatory and aerial dispersal among specialist and generalist phytoseiid mites

Creator:: Jung, Chuleui
Abstract:: Specialist and generalist phytoseiid mites are widely used for biological control of spider mites. Understanding dispersal attributes of these mites is important to implementing more stable, cost-efficient integrated pest management. In this regard, we studied dispersal of phytoseiid mites from a local ambulatory phase of movement within a prey patch...

Entomopathogenic nematodes for biological control of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say)

Creator:: Armer, Christine Andrea
Abstract:: The Colorado potato beetle (CPB), Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is the most devastating foliage-feeding pest of potatoes in the United States. Potential biological control agents include the nematodes Heterorhabditis marelatus Liu & Berry and Steinernema riobrave Cabanillas, Poinar & Raulston, which provided nearly 100% CPB control in previous laboratory trials. In...
