Abstract:
... Since its emergence as a pest of grapevine about 150 years ago, studies on the life cycle and mode of reproduction of grape phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae Fitch) (Homoptera: Phylloxeridae) have been of considerable scientific interest and importance for applied viticulture. The life cycle of grape phylloxera, as described in the mid to late nineteenth century, is still subject to discussion ...

Traps baited with Z11-16: Ac, Z11-16: Ald, Z11-16:OH, and Z13-18: Ac, singly or in mixtures, were tested for their attractivity for males of microlepidoptera in an apple orchard, a mixed deciduous forest, and a coniferous forest. In particular, Z11-16: Ac and Z111-16: Ald attracted some Crambinae, one Glyphipteryx species, and several species of Argyresthia, including the injurous species A. funde ...

Our objective was to identify the sex pheromone of female Selatosomus aeripennis destructor (Brown), a predominant elaterid pest species in farmland in the Canadian Prairie provinces. Headspace volatiles from a gro ...

Abstract:
... Understanding the effect of cropping patterns on population dynamics, dispersal, and habitat selection of insect pests has been an unresolved challenge. Here, we studied the western tarnished plant bug, Lygus hesperus (Knight) (Heteroptera: Miridae), in cotton during early summer in central Arizona. We used a general approach based on global positioning system (GPS) and geographic information syst ...

Abstract:
... Oviposition site preferences were examined in descendents of milkweed bugs collected in six geographic areas and in their F₁ and F₂ hybrids. Within an area, samples were stastically homogeneous in oviposition preference across three trials. All samples from within the continental USA formed a statistically homogeneous group and, as a group, were different in oviposition preference from the Puerto ...

Abstract:
... By use of a recessive-genetic marker, it has been shown that adult female German cockroaches, Blattella germanica (L.), can be successfully inseminated by more than one male. Reinsemination was demonstrated to occur rarely between the first mating and production of the first egg case, while about 20% of the females examined remated between egg cases. The total impact of second matings on the offsp ...

Diethyl toluamide, benzyl benzoate and dimethyl phthalate were repellent in descending order to the pre-imaginal stages of the ixodid Hyalomma excavatum. While dimethyl phthalate was practically devoid of acaricidal prop ...

The mutant, identified as carnation (by Hiroyoshi) is located on chromosome V; therefore, the dominant R character is on chromosome V. Since no other major resistance is present in the D+R20 strain, phenotypically susceptible line ...

For eggs and larvae, the most appropriate sample unit was the basal one-sixth of the plant with its fo ...
