Lnduced Resistance To Bean Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) In Soybean, P. Srinivas, Stephen D. Danielson, C. Michael Smith, John E. Foster Oct 2001

Lnduced Resistance To Bean Leaf Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) In Soybean, P. Srinivas, Stephen D. Danielson, C. Michael Smith, John E. Foster

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Induced resistance in soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, to the bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata (Forster), was investigated in greenhouse experiments using the treatments of mechanical injury, a chemical inducer (ActigardrM, Novartis Crop Protection lnc., Greensboro, NC) and defoliation by the bean leaf beetle and the soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker). Experiments were conducted on soybean Pl 227687, two soybean cultivars (Colfax and Williams 82) and a soybean germplasm line (HC95-24MB). Dual-choice feeding-preference tests with bean leaf beetle adults were used to assess induced resistance. Adult beetles were collected from soybean fields 2 to 5 d prior to the feeding …


Cross-Resistance And Resistance Longevity As Induced By Bean Leaf Beetle, Cerotoma Trifurcata And Soybean Looper, Pseudoplusia Includens Herbivory On Soybean, P. Srinivas, Stephen D. Danielson, C. Michael Smith, John E. Foster Jan 2001

Cross-Resistance And Resistance Longevity As Induced By Bean Leaf Beetle, Cerotoma Trifurcata And Soybean Looper, Pseudoplusia Includens Herbivory On Soybean, P. Srinivas, Stephen D. Danielson, C. Michael Smith, John E. Foster

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Cross-resistance, and longevity of resistance, induced by the bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata, was studied IN the soybean PI 227687 that exhibited induced response in earlier studies. Bean leaf beetle adults and soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens, larvae were used to induce resistance and to determine beetle feeding preference. Beetles were collected from soybean fields 2 to 5 days prior to the feeding preference test. The level of cross-resistance induced by soybean looper herbivory to subsequent bean leaf beetle feeding was higher when compared to cross-resistance induced by bean leaf beetle herbivory against subsequent feeding by soybean looper. Further, …


Effect Of The Chemical Inducer Actigard™ In Inducing Resistance To Bean Leaf Beetle, Cerotoma Trifurcata (Forster) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Feeding In Soybean, Parimi Srinivas, Stephen D. Danielson Jan 2001

Effect Of The Chemical Inducer Actigard™ In Inducing Resistance To Bean Leaf Beetle, Cerotoma Trifurcata (Forster) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), Feeding In Soybean, Parimi Srinivas, Stephen D. Danielson

Department of Entomology: Faculty Publications

Induced resistance in soybean was investigated in the greenhouse using different concentrations of the chemical inducer Actigard™ to determine the influence on feeding preference of bean leaf beetle adults. Treatments of 0 (control), 15, 25, 40, 60, and 80 ppm Actigard™, and artificial defoliation followed by 25 ppm Actigard™ were applied to V1 and V6 stages of soybean plants. Dual-choice feeding preference tests with the bean leaf beetle were used to assess induced resistance. The adult beetles were collected from soybean fields in east central Nebraska 2 to 5 days prior to the feeding preference tests. Pair-wise comparisons of leaflets …
