  Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) dominates cropping systems in the Western United States and is first in terms of acreage planted in Arizona. The alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gylenhall) and/or Hypera brunneipennis (Boheman), respectively, is the most destructive pest in terms of yield loss in low desert-grown alfalfa hay. The current economic threshold of 15-20 larvae per sweep, established in California in 1975, is currently not suitable or adopted by growers in the western U.S. low desert. Here, we conducted 4 yr of field trials to re-evaluate this economic threshold. Supporting observations of agricultural growers and professionals in the region, our results indicate that the economic threshold established in 1975 is too high. Specifically, one to three large larvae often cause a significant decrease in yield justifying weevil control based on current hay prices and costs of insecticide application. These results are discussed in the context of sustainable alfalfa production in the western U.S. low desert.

  The acreage of small grain/cotton double cropping systems has steadily increased in central Arizona recently. Double cropping of small grains and cotton allows growers to effectively use the long growing season, particularly in the low desert region of central Arizona and potentially increase profitability. With this system, short-season small grain varieties are planted from late November to early December and harvested from mid-May to early June. Cotton is then seeded into the grain stubble and residue and harvested in mid to late November. This article includes recommendations for planting no-tillage cotton after small grains in low-desert central Arizona. Management of cotton planted after small grains is more intensive compared to spring-planted cotton. However, this publication focuses mainly on the cotton planting and stand establishment in the double cropping system.

  Thirteen plant species were tested for their suitability as hosts for Abagrotis orbis (Grote), a climbing cutworm pest of grapevines in British Columbia. Choice tests were also conducted to investigate larval feeding preferences for the Brassicaceae species joi choi, Brassica rapa variety. Chinensis L., spring draba; Draba verna L.; and shepherd's purse, Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medik; compared with postdormant buds of grape, Vitis vinifera L. (Vitaceae), and leaves of nine other plant species from several families. Results showed that tah tsai, Brassica rapa L. variety rosularis (M. Tsen & S. H. Lee) Hanelt (Brassicaceae), is a superior host for A. orbis based on shorter time to adult eclosion, heavier pupae, and higher rates of survival. Later-instar larvae died when fed draba, whereas those reared on shepherd's purse did not survive beyond the third instar. White clover, Trifolium repens L. (Fabaceae), and grape leaves were unsuitable hosts throughout development. Fifth-instar A. orbis preferred plants of the Brassicaceae family, dandelion, Taraxacum officinale Weber (Asteraceae), and strawberry, Fragaria sp. L. (Rosaceae), compared with postdormant grape buds. The results of this study suggest that the winter annual mustards draba and shepherd's purse that often grow abundantly in vine rows might help reduce climbing cutworm damage to the buds of grapevines.

  Abstract Eighteen species of cutworm moths were collected as larvae feeding at night on grapevines, Vitis sp. L. (Vitaceae), in south-central British Columbia, Canada, during April and May from 2004 to 2008. Ten species belonged to two genera, Abagrotis Smith and Euxoa Hubner. Abagrotis orbis (Grote), A. nefascia (Smith), and A. reedi Buckett accounted for over 85% of cutworms reared to adulthood. Abagrotis orbis and A. reedi were found in all locations; the former accounted for nearly 90% of larvae collected from vineyards on warm sandy soils. Abagrotis nefascia was largely restricted to cooler sites with heavier soils. For laboratory-reared A. orbis, pupal mass was highest and sex ratios were approximately equal when larvae were reared either on a pinto bean-based diet prepared with the recommended amount of water or on a commercial black cutworm diet and 50% of the recommended water. Survival to adult eclosion was significantly higher on the black cutworm diet, but because this was thicker than the pin...

  More info

  In Manitoba, plant bugs (Lygus spp. and Adelphocoris spp.) can be numerous in seed alfalfa crops in late August and September and are often the target of insecticide applications. From 2002 to 2004 in field plots in commercial fields, one or two insecticide applications in late August and September were made to reduce plant bug numbers relative to those in untreated check plots. Despite significant reductions in plant bug numbers in sweep net samples in sprayed plots, there were no significant effects of treatments on total seed yield per unit area, seed weight, percentage germination or percentage of hard seed. Relative to the check plots, reductions in plant bug numbers in insecticide-treated plots were not associated with increases in seed yield. Also, seed yield increases in insecticide-treated plots were not correlated with numbers of plant bugs immediately before insecticide application, and so it was not possible to estimate an economic injury level. The practice of applying an insecticide in Augus...

Journal of invertebrate pathology, 90(2), 79-84. doi:10.1016/j.jip.2005.08.007
  More info

  While maintained under all combinations of three temperatures and two RH, fifth instar larvae of the Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella were fed wheat treated with spores and crystals of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki. Larvae that had fed on wheat with the bacterial preparation contained higher concentrations of nodules in their haemocoel than did larvae fed on wheat without bacteria. Nodule concentrations in larvae fed untreated wheat were unaffected by temperature or relative humidity. Larvae fed treated wheat had higher nodule concentrations at 32 degrees C than at 15 and 23 degrees C, and higher nodule concentrations at a relative humidity of 85% than at 43%. The percentage of larvae that pupated was lower when larvae were fed the bacterial preparation, and was significantly higher at 23 degrees C than at 15 and 32 degrees C, regardless of whether larvae were fed bacteria or not. Less time was required for larvae to develop to pupation at higher temperatures and at higher humidity. Mean time to pupation was lower for bacteria-fed larvae than for those fed untreated wheat, and this appeared to be a result of truncation of the distribution of times to pupation because only rapidly developing larvae survived to pupation.

  More info

  Plant bugs, species of the genus Lygus Kelton (Hemiptera: Miridae), damage many crops in western Canada (Kelton 1980; Wise and Lamb 1998; Wise et al. 2000). Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), L. borealis (Kelton), and L. elisus Van Duzee are the most common species in the eastern prairie of Canada (Schwartz and Foottit 1992). Manitoba is the leading producer of buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum Moench (Polygonaceae), in North America, growing about 15 000 ha annually (Canada Grains Council 1999). Plant bug adults are known to oviposit (Painter 1927) and feed on buckwheat (Bugg and Ellis 1990), but little is known about their ability to develop on this crop. The objectives of the study were to determine (i) the species of plant bugs on buckwheat, (ii) their ability to develop on buckwheat, and (iii) the distribution of plant bugs within commercial fields of buckwheat in Manitoba.
