The two hop cultivars “Hallertauer Magnum” (HM) and “Spalter Select” (SE) are regarded by growers as extremely different in their susceptibility to the damson-hop aphid Phorodon humuli (Schrank). To investigate these anecdotal observations, spring migration and initial population development of P. humuli were monitored on the two cultivars in 1998 and 1999 in an experimental hop garden. Numbers of migrant aphids on SE were significantly lower, comprising 18.8 and 30.2% as compared to HM in 1998 and 1999, respectively. Population development of apterous aphids on these two cultivars differed significantly. At the end of the monitoring period numbers of aphids on SE were 7.5 and 14.2% as compared to HM in 1998 and 1999, respectively. In behavioral studies of P. humuli alates released on glasshouse plants, those on SE spent significantly more time in motile behavior patterns than aphids on HM. In the glasshouse, population development also differed significantly and the number of aphids developing on SE was 12.9% of that on HM after 28 days. It is concluded that SE exhibits a certain repellent effect on P. humuli and, compared to HM, is possibly nutritionally less suitable to the aphid.  相似文献

The pattern of colonisation of dwarf hops (Humulus lupulus) by damson-hop aphid (Phorodon humuli (Schrank)) migrating from Prunus spp. was investigated at six plant spacings and where some of the hops were replaced by oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.), a non-host of the aphid. The number of migrant aphids that accumulated on hop stems (bines) increased with increasing bine size and density. The numbers of aphids that colonised hops interplanted with oilseed rape reflected the density of the hop plants only and not the overall plant density. As the physical size of the wind shadow within which flying aphids can manoeuvre and land was unimportant unless provided by a host plant, the finding supports the theory that flying aphids respond to olfactory stimuli associated with their hosts. Variation in bine height (as a measure of plant size) explained 29–93% of the variance in aphid counts during the 3 years' study and bine density 1–14%. Standardising the data as the numbers of aphids per metre of bine and taking a square-root transformation of these standardised counts improved the precision of the analyses and, by stabilising variances, facilitated comparisons between years as growth became more vigorous as the plants matured. Each year, the rate of increase in numbers of aphids settling on plots of hops declined curvilinearly with increasing bine density. Maximum colonisation by P. humuli occurred at a bine density of five per metre row, a density similar to that used commercially by growers of dwarf hops.  相似文献

A 3‐year study in Washington State, USA examined the influence of hop yard ground flora both on the invertebrate pests of hops [including hop aphid (Phorodon humuli Schrank), two‐spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae Koch) and hop looper (Hypena humuli Harris)] and on their natural enemies. Each year half of the experimental plots were sown with a mixture of ‘insectary’ plants [including California poppy (Eschscholzia californica von Chamisso), dwarf cornflower (Centaurea cyanus L.) and buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench)]. Season‐long average cover provided by the flowering mixture ranged from 2% to 26%, with some blooms being present for most of the season in each year. In terms of vegetation, the other main differences between cover‐cropped and control plots were in the proportions of bare soil (which was always significantly higher in control plots) and the percentage of Chenopodium album L., which was significantly higher in the cover‐cropped plots in two of the three seasons. Populations of spider mites on hop foliage were significantly lower in cover‐cropped plots than in control plots in 2 of 3 years, while mite numbers in the cones at harvest were generally low and usually did not differ between treatments. Responses of hop aphids were much more variable, with no consistent treatment effect on either leaf or cone infestations. Larval populations of hop looper tended to be higher in cover‐cropped plots in the first two generations, but usually not in the third (final) generation. Of the beneficial invertebrates, spiders and nabids consistently reached higher average densities in the ground flora of cover‐cropped plots than in control plots in all 3 years, while anthocorids, geocorids and parasitic hymenoptera reached higher mean densities in the former plots in 2 of 3 years. Adult coccinellids were higher in cover‐cropped plots only in 2006.  相似文献

Aphids, like most phloem-feeding insects, commonly exhibit a high degree of host specificity. Plant-specific chemical compounds are likely to serve as important host selection cues for monophagous aphids and such substances could be present in aphid honeydew. Apterous virginoparae ofMyzus persicae (Sulzer) andPhorodon humuli (Schrank) were reared on a buffered sucrose solution containing various aphid honeydews or a mixture of amino acids. In two separate experiments, the host-specificP. humuli (hop aphid) could grow and reproduce only on diets containing honeydew collected from hop (Humulus lupulus L.).M. persicae (the green peach aphid, GPA) did not perform well on diets containing hop honeydew, perhaps because hop is a poor GPA host. Honeydew collected from preferred GPA host plants rape,Brassica napus L., and jimsonweed,Datura stramonium L., allowed GPA growth and reproduction. Hop aphids, however, performed poorly on rape and jimsonweed honeydew diets. Bell pepper,Capsicum annuum L., honeydew supported neither the hop aphid nor GPA. The study of aphid honeydew components may contribute towards a more complete understanding of host preference and selection phenomena in aphids.  相似文献

Several aphid honeydews were incorporated into sucrose solutions and presented to hop aphids, Phorodon humuli (Schrank), as artificial diets in free-choice bioassays. Small additions of honeydew collected from two species of aphid feeding on hop, Humulus lupulus L., arrested the searching behavior of the hop aphid and appeared to stimulate prolonged periods of ingestion. This effect was more dependent on the host plant honeydew source than the species of aphid that produced the honeydew. Aphid honeydews collected from plants other than hop (non-hosts to P. humuli) contained hop aphid phagostimulants that were less effective. Our results indicate that analysis of aphid honeydew could help describe chemical cues involved in the recognition of appropriate host plants by aphid species.  相似文献

A portion of the USDA World Hop (Humulus lupulus L.) Germ Plasm Collection was screened for antibiosis to the hop aphid, Phorodon humuli (Shrank). Hop aphid development and reproduction on the retained accessions 58016, 21090M, 21211, 21240, and 60038 were then compared to hop aphids reared on the commercial hop cultivars (cvs) L-8, Perle, Chinook, Galena, Eroica, Willamette, and Cascade. In general, hop aphids matured faster and reproduced more on the commercial cvs than on 21090M, 58016, 21211, or 21240. Accession 60038, of note because it supported unusually high numbers of aphids during screening, was found to be the most susceptible of any hop tested. Mortality and natality schedules were then combined to construct matrix models of aphid population growth on 60038, 58016, Cascade, and Perle (the most and least susceptible noncommercial and commercial hops, respectively). Beginning with one one-day-old nymph per leaf, the models predicted that P. humuli would require 24 days to surpass an action threshold of 100 aphids per leaf on 58016. This was seven days longer than on the susceptible Cascade and five days longer than on Perle. A commercial hop with the antibiosis of 58016 would probably require fewer insecticide applications during the growing season, thus retarding the development of insecticide resistance in P. humuli and enhancing the effectiveness of integrated management programs by protecting beneficial insects.
Zusammenfassung Ein Teil der Genbank des USDA von Hopfen (Humulus lupulus L.) wurde auf Resistenz gegen Phorodon humuli (Shrank) getestet. Dabei wurden die besonders widerstands fähigen Klone 58016, 21090M, 21211, 21240 sowie Klon 60038, der ungewöhnlich viele Blattläuse ertrug, ausgewählt. Anschließend wurde die Entwicklung und Vermehrung der Blattläuse auf den ausgewählten Klonen und auf den Handelssorten (cvs) L-8, Perle, Chinook, Galena, Eroica, Willamette, Cascade untersucht. Im Allgemeinen entwickelten sich die Blattläuse auf den Handelssorten reascher und vermehrten sich stärker als auf den resistenten Klonen. Klon 60038 war dagegen die anfälligste Sorte. Mortalitäts- und Natlitätsdaten wurden kombiniert um Matrixmodelle des Populationswachstums der Blattläuse auf 60038, 58016, Cascade und Perle (die am meisten und am wenigsten anfälligen kommerziellen und nichtkommerziellen Sorten) zu konstruieren. Die Modelle begannen bei 1 Larve pro Blatt und sagten voraus, dass die Aktionsgrenze von 100 Tieren pro Blatt auf 58016 nach 24 Tagen erreicht wird. Das ist 7 Tage später als auf den anfälligen Sorten Cascade und 5 Tage später als auf Perle. Eine kommerzielle Sorte mit der Anfälligkeit von 58016 würde vermutlich während der Vegetationszeit weniger Insektizidspritzungen benötigen. Damit würde die Resistenzentwicklung bei Phorodon humuli verlangsamt und die Wirkung von IPM Programmen durch Schutz der natürlichen Feinde verbessert.

A field trial was performed on a hop yard throughout 2006, 2007 and 2008 in order to analyze the within‐plant distribution of Phorodon humuli (Schrank) and its natural enemies. The aphid population was higher on the leaves of the middle section of the main stem. Specifically, the population was significantly higher at 2 and 3.25 m than at 6 m during the three years. Natural enemies consisted of aphidophagous predators of which Coccinella septempunctata was recorded in the highest number. Its number was greater where the aphid population was higher, with a significantly higher number of eggs, larvae and adults at 2 and 3.25 m than at 6 m. Lacewing eggs were also frequently observed, with a significantly higher population where the number of aphids was higher. The number of winged aphids was higher at 3.25 m than at 2 m within a plant. Understanding hop aphid distribution within the hop canopy is important in developing sampling programs, in evaluating injury and helps the development of sustainable management practices.  相似文献

The distribution of migrant Phorodon humuli was studied in two hopgardens during June 1972. Migrants accumulating upon the young tissues near the bines' apices were counted. Plant size affected distribution, 100 % more migrants were found on 2-bine than on single bine strings and there was a positive linear relation between bine height and log10 aphid numbers. Plants surrounding wire-trellis support poles were more heavily infested than plants not at poles, and migrants were more abundant on leeward orientated than windward strings. It is argued that the distribution of alatae reflected local patterns of wind shelter. Differences between plants declined in successive weeks. The influence of hop variety on migrant settling was studied in one of the hop-gardens. Fewer migrants settled on the variety Tolhurst than on Northern Brewer, and Fuggle was intermediate. Part, but not all, of the difference between varieties was explained by the larger average size of Northern Brewer plants. The observed aphid deposition rates in the two hop gardens were compared with hypothetical deposition rates calculated from numbers of P. humuli caught in a nearby 12-2 m Rothamsted Insect Survey suction-trap, and used to estimate flight durations. The estimates indicated that most infestation probably resulted from aphids within 1 h flying time of their primary host source.  相似文献

Field studies in 1974, 1975 and 1976 investigated integrated control of the damson-hop aphid Phorodon humuli on hops. After the aphicidal effects of an early-season soil drench of mephosfolan had declined, natural enemies controlled the aphids for the remainder of the season. Anthocorid bugs, particularly Anthocoris nemoralis, were the most abundant predators. In each year a rapid decline in aphid numbers occurred in mid- to late-July, coinciding with the peak numbers of fourth and fifth instar larvae and adults, the most voracious anthocorid stages. Aphids in the cones remained under control for the rest of the season in 1974 and 1975, and increased in 1976 but damaging numbers did not develop. When predators were excluded by caging mephosfolan-treated bines, high aphid densities developed on the leaves, and the cones were heavily infested. Plants not treated with an insecticide were almost completely defoliated by late-July. Heavily infested ‘missed bines’, due to uneven uptake of mephosfolan, attracted large numbers of anthocorids, which later dispersed into the surrounding plants.  相似文献

Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is one of the most common diseases of cereal crops, caused by the phloem‐limited, cereal aphid‐borne Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) (Luteoviridae). Delayed planting and controlling aphid vector numbers with insecticides have been the primary approaches to manage BYD. There is limited research on nitrogen (N) application effects on plant growth, N status, and water use in the BYDV pathosystem in the absence of aphid control. Such information will be essential in developing a post‐infection management plan for BYDV‐infected cereals. Through a greenhouse study, we assessed whether manipulation of N supply to BYDV‐infected winter wheat, Triticum aestivum L. (Poaceae), in the presence or absence of the aphid vector Rhopalosiphum padi L. (Hemiptera: Aphididae), could improve N and/or water uptake, and subsequently promote plant growth. Similar responses of shoot biomass and of water and N use efficiencies to various N application rates were observed in both BYDV‐infected and non‐infected plants, suggesting that winter wheat plants with only BYDV infection may be capable of outgrowing infection by the virus. Plants, which simultaneously hosted aphids and BYDV, suffered more severe symptoms and possessed higher virus loads than those infected with BYDV only. Moreover, in plants hosting both BYDV and aphids, aphid pressure was positively associated with N concentration within plant tissue, suggesting that N application and N concentration within foliar tissue may alter BYDV replication indirectly through their influence on aphid reproduction. Even though shoot biomass, tissue N concentration, and water use efficiency increased in response to increased N application, decision‐making on N fertilization to plants hosting both BYDV and aphids should take into consideration the potential of aphid outbreak and/or the possibility of reduced plant resilience to environmental stresses due to decreased root growth.  相似文献

The effects of planting date and application rate of imidacloprid for control of Schizaphis graminum Rondani, Rhopalosiphum padi L. (Homoptera: Aphididae), and barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) in hard red winter wheat were studied. The first experiment was conducted from 1997 to 1999 at two locations and consisted of three planting dates and four rates of imidacloprid-treated seed. The second experiment was conducted from 2001 to 2002 in Stillwater, OK, and consisted of two varieties of hard red winter wheat seed and four rates of imidacloprid. Aphid densities, occurrence of BYDV, yield components, and final grain yield were measured, and yield differences were used to estimate the economic return obtained from using imidacloprid. In the first study, aphid populations responded to insecticide rate in the early and middle plantings, but the response was reduced in the late planting. Yields increased as insecticide rate increased but did not always result in a positive economic return. In the second study, imidacloprid seed treatments reduced aphid numbers and BYD occurrence, protected yield, and resulted in a positive economic return. The presence of aphids and BYDV lowered yield by reducing fertile head density, total kernel weight, and test weight. Whereas the application of imidacloprid seed treatments often provided positive yield protection, it did not did not consistently provide a positive economic return. A positive economic return was consistently obtained if the cereal aphid was carrying and transmitting BYDV and was more likely to occur if wheat was treated with a low rate if imidacloprid and planted in a "dual purpose" planting date window.  相似文献

Damage caused by two‐spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae) at harvest to yield, quality (measured in percentage α‐acids content) and cone infestation was assessed on hop cvs Hallertauer Magnum, Hallertauer Tradition and Perle. Acaricide‐untreated hop plants with known levels of T. urticae infestation were compared with neighbouring acaricide‐treated plants. Although in 24 of the 36 experimental harvests the untreated hop plants had spider mite infestations of > 100 mites leaf?1, yields and α‐acids content from the untreated plants were significantly lower than the treated plants in only four instances. However, although mite infestation of cones from untreated hops were significantly higher than acaricide‐treated plants in 27 of the 36 cases, in only one instance did that cause economic loss. Spider mite infestation levels of c. 90 mites leaf?1 are tolerable at harvest time with little or no risk of causing economic loss to hop growers.  相似文献

The use of synthetic herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPV) to attract natural enemies has received interest as a tool to enhance conservation biological control (CBC). Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is a HIPV that is attractive to several key predators of two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Acari: Tetranychidae), and hop aphid, Phorodon humuli (Schrank) (Homoptera: Aphididae). A 2-year study was conducted to evaluate the recommended commercial use of MeSA in hop yards in Oregon. Slow-release MeSA dispensers were stapled to supporting poles in 0.5 ha plots and these plots were compared to a paired non-treated plot on each of three farms in 2008 and 2009. Across both years, there was a trend for reduced (range 40–91%) mean seasonal numbers of T. urticae in five of the six MeSA-baited plots. Stethorus spp., key spider mite predators, tended to be more numerous in MeSA-baited plots compared to control plots on a given farm. Mean seasonal densities of hop aphid and other natural enemies (e.g., Orius spp. and Anystis spp.) were similar between MeSA-treated and control plots. Variability among farms in suppression of two-spotted spider mites and attraction of Stethorus spp. suggests that the use of MeSA to enhance CBC of spider mites in commercial hop yards may be influenced by site-specific factors related to the agroecology of individual farms or seasonal effects that require further investigation. The current study also suggests that CBC of hop aphid with MeSA in this environment may be unsatisfactory.  相似文献

Sitobion avenae is the most abundant aphid that infests the ears of winter wheat in central Europe. Control of this pest will benefit from prediction of its maximum abundances on ears. We attempted to predict the maximum numbers of this species infesting the ears using earlier counts of this species in ears and on leaves using data collected in the Czech Republic in 2002–2014. The numbers of aphids on particular leaves and the ears were recorded at weekly intervals. The maximum numbers infesting the ears were significantly related to aphid counts on the ears made 1 week, 2 weeks and even 3 weeks before the peak. A regression based only on plots where there were aphids (non‐zero aphid counts) recorded 3 weeks prior to the peak resulted in a critical number of ≥0.44 aphids/ear, which if exceeded resulted in a harmful maximum abundance of ≥5 aphids/ear at the peak. We also regressed maximum numbers infesting ears on numbers of S. avenae on leaves recorded 1, 2 and 3 weeks after earing, which all resulted in reliable predictions. Regression of maximum abundance on non‐zero aphid counts on the leaves in week 3 after earing revealed a critical number of ≥0.59 aphids/tiller. Zero aphid counts resulted in only 3% of cases of a harmful maximum abundance in ears. Using records of the numbers on flag leaves, which make up 58% of the S. avenae population present on the foliage, also provided reliable predictions of maximum abundance in ears. Predicting maximum numbers of aphids from earlier records of the numbers of aphids on leaves or ears is thus possible. The prediction may be further improved by increasing the precision with which the numbers of aphids initially infesting the crop are estimated.  相似文献

Understanding host plant volatile – aphid interactions can facilitate the selection of crop border plants as a strategy to reduce plant virus incidence in crops. Crop border plant species with attractive odours could be used to attract aphids into the border crop and away from the main crop. As different cultivars of the same crop can vary in their olfactory attractiveness to aphids, selecting an attractive cultivar as a border crop is important to increase aphid landing rates. This study evaluated olfactory responses of the bird cherry‐oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to three cultivars each of maize [Zea mays L. (Poaceae)], potato [Solanum tuberosum L. (Solanaceae)], and wheat [Triticum aestivum L. (Poaceae)] with the aim of selecting an attractive crop border plant to reduce the incidence of the non‐persistent Potato virus Y [PVY (Potyviridae)] in seed potatoes. Volatiles emitted by the crop cultivars were collected and identified using coupled gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Quantitative and qualitative differences were found among cultivars. Behavioural responses of alate R. padi to odours of the cultivars and synthetic compounds identified from the plants were determined with a four‐arm olfactometer. Rhopalosiphum padi was attracted to odours emitted from maize cultivar 6Q‐121, but did not respond to odours from the remaining eight crop cultivars. Volatile compounds from maize and wheat cultivars that elicited a behavioural response from R. padi and contributed to differences in plant volatile profiles included (Z)‐3‐hexenyl acetate (attractant) and α‐farnesene, (E)‐2‐hexenal, indole, and (3E,7E)‐4,8,12‐trimethyltrideca‐1,3,7,11‐tetraene (TMTT) (repellents). We conclude that maize cv. 6Q‐121 is potentially suitable as a crop border plant based on the behavioural response of R. padi to the olfactory cues emitted by this cultivar. The findings provide insight into selecting crop cultivars capable of attracting R. padi to crop border plants.  相似文献

Abstract The RAPDPCR technique was used to determine the DNA polymorphism of the aphid Aphis gossypii(Glover) collected from different host plants and in different seasons. Three primers were selected from 20 primers and used for cluster analysis based on the data of Nei's genetic distance (D). The results showed that the aphids on Chinese prickly ash differentiated obviously from the aphids on the other four host plants at DNA level. The seasonal population of cotton aphid might be clustered into three groups, i.e. the spring and autumn yellow colored aphids, the spring and autumn green colored aphids and the yellow dwarf form aphid in summer. However, the genetic relationship of dwarf form was more closely to the spring and autumn green colored aphid.  相似文献

The attraction range of olfactory response by winged female gynoparae (autumn migrants that give birth to oviparae, the sexual females) and male damson–hop aphids Phorodon humuli (Schrank) is investigated in field experiments over 2 years by analyzing the spatial patterns of catches in concentric circles of yellow‐painted traps (60 in total) around a central trap releasing the species' sex pheromone, (1RS,7S,7aS)‐nepetalactol. Males are more likely than females to be found in the central trap, with 65.6% of the 1824 males caught there compared with 11.2% of 1346 females. Both morphs are more numerous in traps axial with the mean wind direction and centred on the pheromone‐release trap than at other angles. Males are approximately five‐fold more numerous in traps downwind than at similar distances upwind of the pheromone, showing that its presence stimulates landing. For males, the estimated active space of the lure extends 6 m downwind. Catches of females are equally numerous up and downwind of the pheromone lure because females orienting on the axis of the pheromone source continue to respond to visual cues in their flight path if they overshoot the olfactory one. For females, the active space of a pheromone lure is less than 2 m downwind. It is unimportant for either morph whether the pheromone‐release trap is yellow or transparent. In these experiments, both morphs orient with, track and probably arrive in the pheromone source trap from at least 26 m, the distance to the nearest aphid‐infested hops.  相似文献

Aphidius colemani Viereck, emerging from Myzus persicae (Sulzer) mummies on the Brussels sprout cultivar ‘Bedford Winter Harvest’ (BWH), responds positively in the olfactometer to the odour of that cultivar in comparison with air. Responses to the odours of other sprout cultivars, cabbage and broad bean could be explained by the humidity from plant leaves. In a choice between BWH and other sprout cultivars, the BWH odour is preferred, or that of cv. ‘Red Delicious’ (RD) if the parasitoids are reared on RD. This confirms previous work showing that the secondary chemistry of a cultivar is learnt from the mummy cuticle during emergence. Adults emerging from pupae excised from the mummy show a similar but less pronounced preference. Parasitoids developing in aphids on an artificial diet do not discriminate between the odours of BWH and RD, unless allowed contact with a mummy from the same cultivar that the mother develops on. This suggests a cultivar‐specific maternal cue. This cue is speculated to consist of a small amount of the secondary chemistry (probably glucosinolates in the present study) that are left in or on the egg at oviposition, which subsequently induces enzymes that detoxify plant‐derived toxins in the aphid host. Indeed, when parasitoids emerging from diet‐reared aphids are released on aphid‐infested sprout plants, fewer mummies are produced than by parasitoids emerging from mummies of plant‐reared aphids or from excised pupae. Only parasitoids that emerge from mummies of plant‐reared aphids prefer the cultivar of origin as shown by the number of mummified hosts.  相似文献

The green peach aphid [Myzus persicae (Sulzer)] and turnip aphid [Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach)] are economically important pests with a worldwide distribution. We have evaluated the efficacy of releasing adults and larvae of a flightless strain of the multicolored Asian lady beetle (Harmonia axyridis Pallas) as a control measure against these aphids on plants of non-heading Brassica cultivars. Both adults and larvae of H. axyridis were observed to be effective biocontrol agents, markedly decreasing the numbers of aphids. The residence duration of adults was longer than that of larvae. The proportion of non-marketable plants damaged by aphids was lower in plots into which either adults or adults and larvae of H. axyridis had been released. These results suggest that both adults and larvae of this flightless strain of H. axyridis are effective in controlling aphids on plants of non-heading Brassica cultivars.  相似文献
