Dependence of Sitona lepidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) larvae on abundance of white clover Rhizobium nodules.
Sitona lepidus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) was first recognized in New Zealand pastures in the Waikato in March 1996 (Barratt et al., 1996). In Europe and North America, the species is considered to be a significant pest of clovers (Barratt et al., 1996 and references therein). However, white clover Trifolium repens L. (Fabaceae) is the key to profitability in New Zealand‘s pastoral i...
متن کاملDoes White Clover (Trifolium repens) Abundance in Temperate Pastures Determine Sitona obsoletus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Larval Populations?
To determine if host plant abundance determined the size of clover root weevil (CRW) Sitona obsoletus larval populations, a study was conducted over 4 years in plots sown in ryegrass (Lolium perenne) (cv. Nui) sown at either 6 or 30 kg/ha and white clover (Trifolium repens) sown at a uniform rate of 8 kg/ha. This provided a range of % white clover content to investigate CRW population establish...
متن کاملEffects of carbon dioxide on the searching behaviour of the root-feeding clover weevil Sitona lepidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).
The respiratory emission of CO2 from roots is frequently proposed as an attractant that allows soil-dwelling insects to locate host plant roots, but this role has recently become less certain. CO2 is emitted from many sources other than roots, so does not necessarily indicate the presence of host plants, and because of the high density of roots in the upper soil layers, spatial gradients may no...
متن کاملResponse of cranberry weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) to host plant volatiles.
The oligophagous cranberry weevil, Anthonomus musculus Say, causes economic losses to blueberry growers in New Jersey because females deposit eggs into developing flower buds and subsequent larval feeding damages buds, which fail to produce fruit. A cost-effective and reliable method is needed for monitoring this pest to correctly time insecticide applications. We studied the behavioral and ant...
