The biology and seasonality of the parasitiod Trioxys pallidus Haliday in western Oregon

Creator:: Cohn, Judy L.
Abstract:: Seasonal synchrony between the filbert aphid, Myzocallis coryli (Goetze) and its newly introduced parasitoid Trioxys pallidus Haliday was examined in the field to evaluate the effectiveness of parasitoid based biological control in filbert orchards of Oregon. Fieldemergence observations showed that 50% eclosion of the aphid occurred 14 days before that...

Toxicity of some commonly used pesticides to Trioxys Pallidus and its establishment in filbert orchards of Willamette Valley

Creator:: Saeed, Mohammad
Abstract:: A parasitic wasp, Trioxys pallidus Haliday (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae) was imported from Europe and initially released against the filbert aphid Mvzocallis coryli (Goetze) in hazelnut (filbert) orchards of the Willamette Valley, Oregon beginning in 1984. In the present study, I investigated the establishment rates of this parasitoid. A total of 13...

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...

Structure, function, and analysis of Coleoptera and Heteroptera assemblages on two species of hazelnut in Oregon

Creator:: Wetherill, Karen R.
Abstract:: The European hazelnut, Corylus avellana L., was imported into the U.S. in the late 1800's and is now grown throughout the Willamette Valley in Oregon. A native species of hazelnut, C. cornuta Marshall, is a common shrub found in forested areas of the Pacific Northwest. Foliage of both C. avellana...

Phenology, Host-Plant Resistance, and Biological Control of Stephanitis pyrioides in Oregon

Creator:: Flores, Salvador M.
Abstract:: The azalea lace bug (Stephanitis pyrioides Scott) is a recently detected invasive pest to the Pacific Northwest and has become a major concern in Oregon. It feeds on azaleas as well as rhododendrons causing stippling on the top side of leaves. The damage is aesthetically displeasing and affects plant vigor...

The potential of endemic natural enemies to suppress pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola Förster, in the Hood River Valley, Oregon

Creator:: Booth, Steven R.
Abstract:: This thesis addressed the potential of endemic predaceous and parasitic arthropods of the Hood River Valley, Oregon to suppress the pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola F8rster. Natural enemies adequately suppressed psylla in three of seven unsprayed orchards of differing vegetational settings, orchard age, and size. Relatively few psylla natural enemies dispersed...

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...

Conservation of arthropod natural enemies in broccoli with relay strip-cropping

Creator:: McGrath, Daniel M. (Daniel Morton)
Abstract:: Relay strip-cropping combines two vegetation management tactics, under-sowing and strip-management. In this study conducted from 1994 though 1997, a cover crop seed-mixture containing oats (Avena sativa L. var. "Monida"), common vetch (Vicia sativa L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.), annual ryegrass (Lolium multflorum Lam.), and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) was...

Predators of hemlock woolly adelgid in northwestern Oregon

Creator:: Byrkit, Maggie K.
Abstract:: Hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae Annand, is a serious threat to eastern hemlock, Tsuga canadensis Carriere, in the eastern United States. Infestations of A. tsugae are spreading rapidly and tree mortality caused by the insect is increasing yearly. As part of an integrated management approach, a classical biological control program...

Habitat management for beneficial insects on Willamette Valley vegetable and berry farms

Creator:: Russell, Michael C.
Abstract:: Conservation biological control involves manipulating farm landscapes or management systems to enhance populations of beneficial predators of agricultural pests. Farmscaping is one aspect of conservation biological control where predators of important pests are identified, the availability on the farm landscape of resources and habitat components needed by the beneficials to...
