1. Compensation of Lygus hesperus Induced Preflower Fruit Loss in Cotton

Author:
Barman Apurba K.; Parajulee Megha N.
Source:
Journal of economic entomology 2013 v.106 no.3 pp. 1209-1217
ISSN:
0022-0493
Subject:
Gossypium hirsutum; Lygus hesperus; bolls; cotton; fiber quality; fruit set; insecticides; insects; irrigation; lint yield; plant damage; rearing; Texas
Abstract:
... A 3-yr field study quantified the compensatory ability of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to preflower fruit damage by Lygus hesperus Knight in the Texas High Plains under limited irrigation. Experiments were designed to achieve varying levels of preflower fruit loss by augmenting Lygus bug populations using nymphal bugs reared in a laboratory colony. Treatments included 1) three bugs per plant (3P ...

2. Costs of Lygus Herbivory on Cotton Associated with Farmer Decision-Making: An Ecoinformatics Approach

Gossypium hirsutum; Lygus hesperus; abscission; buds; commercial farms; cotton; data collection; decision making; defoliants; farmers; farmers' attitudes; herbivores; observational studies; pest management; plant growth; plant growth substances
Abstract:
... Because the farmer is typically excluded from the experimental research setting, experimental research may face challenges in evaluating pest management tactics whose costs and benefits hinge on farmer decision-making. In these cases an ecoinformatics approach, in which observational data collected from the commercial farming setting are “mined” to quantify both biological variables and farmer beh ...

3. Temperature-Dependent Egg Development of Lygus hesperus (Hemiptera: Miridae)

Author:

Journal of economic entomology 2013 v.106 no.1 pp. 124-130

Subject:
overwintering; oviposition; air temperature; cold stress; Phaseolus vulgaris; heat stress; green beans; agarose; nonlinear models; Lygus hesperus; embryogenesis; eggs; population dynamics; adults; pods
Abstract:
... Lygus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a key agricultural pest in the western United States, but certain aspects of its temperature-dependent development are poorly defined. Accurate models describing the relationships between temperature and development of L. hesperus would facilitate the study of Lygus seasonal population dynamics and overwintering ecology. We used nonlinear biophysical m ...
