Tb113: A Field Test Of Mating-Suppression Using The Spruce Budworm Sex Pheromone, J. B. Dimond, D. G. Mott, W. P. Kemp, J. H. Krall Feb 1984

Tb113: A Field Test Of Mating-Suppression Using The Spruce Budworm Sex Pheromone, J. B. Dimond, D. G. Mott, W. P. Kemp, J. H. Krall

Technical Bulletins

Spruce budworm sex pheromone was dispersed from aircraft over forest land in Maine in late June, 1980. A major goal was to sample pheromone concentrations in air to determine whether the formulation would provide the steady, sustained release of chemical believed required for interfering with the mating process of the moths. Since pheromone was going to be applied for purposes of analyses of air, we believed we should also study some behavioral effects on spruce budworm populations. The principal body of data involved the ability of male budworm moths to orient to point sources of pheromone in pheromone-treated and untreated …


Tb112: Chemical Control Of The Spruce Budmoth, Zeiraphera Canadensis Mut. And Free. (Lepidoptera: Olethreuthidae) On White Spruce In Maine, J. A. Holmes, E. A. Osgood Jan 1984

Tb112: Chemical Control Of The Spruce Budmoth, Zeiraphera Canadensis Mut. And Free. (Lepidoptera: Olethreuthidae) On White Spruce In Maine, J. A. Holmes, E. A. Osgood

Technical Bulletins

The principle objectives of the current study were to determine through preliminary qualitative surveys, the distribution, abundance, and species composition of budmoth in Maine; and to gain satisfactory control of the budmoth through the proper timing of insecticides.


Virus, Viroid, Mycoplasma And Rickettsial Diseases Of Plants In Western Australia, L K. Price, George Mclean Jan 1984

Virus, Viroid, Mycoplasma And Rickettsial Diseases Of Plants In Western Australia, L K. Price, George Mclean

Technical Bulletins

Provides details of the virus, viroid, mycoplasma and rickettsial diseases recorded on plants in Western Australia. To establish these records, a range of tests have been used including sap transmission; leaf dip electron microscopy; aphid transmission and serology. The authenticity for each record is noted in the list of pathogens.


Naturalised Subterranean Clover Strains Of Western Australia, W J. Collins, John S. Gladstones Jan 1984

Naturalised Subterranean Clover Strains Of Western Australia, W J. Collins, John S. Gladstones

Technical Bulletins

A description is given of the characteristics and distributions of 115 distinct naturalized strains of subterranean clover. Approximately three-quarters of the strains appeared from their distributions to have been introduced and to have spread in their present forms, while the remainder, which are individually of very limited distribution, appeared to have evolved locally from naturalized and commercial material by natural crossing of mutation. An attempt was made to relate the apparent ecological succes rial, and a high level of hard-seedeness.
