Effects Of Three Viruses On Productivity Of Annual Pasture Legume Swards, R A. C Jones

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

The effects of 3 non-persistently aphid-transmitted viruses on the productivity of swards of annual pasture legumes were investigated in 1988-91. Virus-host combinations studied were alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) in burr medic (Medicago polymorplia), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) in subterranean clover (Trifo/i111n subterra11eum) and bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) in subterranean clover. Swards were mown to simulate grazing, grazed or left undefoliated. Herbage (dry weight) and seed production were decreased significantly by infection with all three virus-host combinations. However, the extent of losses vnried with extent of virus spread, cultivar, site and season. Decreased seed yield resulted from both fewer and …

Increased Resistance To Sclerotinia Crown And Stem Rot Of Alfalfa Through Recurrent Selection Of Surviving Plants In Inoculated Field Plots, M Kanbe, F Fujimoto, S Inami

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

ABSTRACT Breeding alfalfa (Medicago saliva L.) for resistance to Sclerotinia crown and stem rot (SCR; causal agent Sclerotitivia trifoliorum Eriks.), which is a serious disease in Japan, was started in 1983. Increased resistance to this disease has been examined after repeated selected of surviving plants from artificially inoculated field plots to the 5th generation. The strains selected for SCR resistance showed higher resistance than Tachiwakaba, which was the main breeding material. The effectiveness of selection judged by the survival rate of progenies was low in the early selection generations but high in the later ones, It is considered that …

Biological Control Of Alfalfa Aphids In Japan Using Coccinella Septempunctata Brucki, Keiichi Takashi

IGC Proceedings (1977-2023)

The oviposition, predation, and survival abilities of Coccinella septempuncrara bmcki Mulsanl (lady beetle), a natural enemy of alfalfa aphids (Acyrtllosyphon kondoi Shinji), increased as temperatures rose in laboratory tests. The second-instar larvae were released into cages in alfalfa (Medicago saliva L.) fields in spring 1991. One month later, alfalfa plants in the control cages without larvae showed much lower yield; however, no damage was observed in cages in which larvae had been released. There is a strong probability that alfalfa aphids can be controlled by the timely release of lady beetle larvae in the field.
