FOREWORD This is the 42nd volume in a series of commodity-oriented environmental bibliographies resulting from a memorandum of understanding between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Library (USDA-NAL) , and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Pesticide Programs (EPA-OPP) This close working relationship between the two agencies will produce a series of bibliographies which will be useful to EPA in the regulation of pesticides, as well as to any researcher in the field of plant or commodity protection. The broad scope of information contained in this series will benefit USDA, EPA, and the agricultural community as a whole. The sources referenced in these bibliographies include the majority of the latest available information from U.S. publications involving commodity protection throughout the growing and processing stages for each agricultural commodity We welcome the opportunity to join this cooperative effort between USDA and EPA in support of the national agricultural community. JOSEPH H. HOWARD, Director DOUGLAS D. CAMPT, Director National Agricultural Library Office of Pesticide Programs . INTRODUCTION The citations in this bibliography, The Protection of Tomatoes, Egg Plants, and Peppers, are selected from the AGRICOLA database concerning diseases and other environmental considerations from January 1979 to April 1991. This is the 42nd volume in a series of commodity-oriented listings of citations from AGRICOLA jointly sponsored by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Library (USDA-NAL) , and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Pesticide Programs (EPA-OPP) . Additional volumes issued recently include The Protection of Tropical and Subtropical Fruits, The Protection of Small Grains, The Protection of Cucurbits, The Protection of Minor Vegetable Crops, The Protection of Peas, Beans, and Lentils, and The Protection of Forestry. The other 1991 volumes will cover The Protection of Lawn and Turf Grasses, The Protection of Stored Grains, The Protection of Nut Crops, and The Protection of Peanuts. Entries in the bibliography are subdivided into a series of section headings used in the contents of the Bibliography of Agriculture. Each item appears under every section heading assigned to the cited document. A personal author index and a site index to plants are included with each volume.

Smith,1 Matthew Jaycox,1,2 Martha R.B. Smith-Caldas,1,3 Guy L. Bush1,4 ABSTRACT The phylogenetic relationships of 43 species in the subtribe Carpomyina (39 Rhagoletis spp., plus Carpomya schineri (Loew), Oedicarena latifrons (Wulp), Rhagoletotrypeta pastranai Aczél, and Zonosemata electa (Say)) are examined using morphological and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) characters. The taxon sample includes 5 Palearctic Rhagoletis species (R. almatensis Rohdendorf, R. batava Hering, R. flavicincta (Loew), R. flavigenualis Hering, and R. magniterebra (Rohdendorf)) and 5 Neotropical Rhagoletis species (R. blanchardi Aczél, R. ferruginea Hendel, R. lycopersella Smyth, R. nova (Schiner), and R. psalida Hendel) whose mtDNA relationships have not been previously analyzed. Phylogenetic analysis of 77 morphological features using unweighted parsimony yielded 28,671 most parsimonious reconstructions (MPRs). A strict consensus of these MPRs contained 12 clades, and further analysis using successive approximations improved phylogenetic resolution. 1Department of Zoology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824-1115, USA.

  • Managing Pepper Maggots with OMRI-Approved GF-120 Fruit Fly Bait T
    Managing Pepper Maggots with OMRI-Approved GF-120 Fruit Fly Bait T. Jude Boucher, University of Connecticut 24 Hyde Ave., Vernon, CT 06066 [email protected], 860-875-3331 The pepper maggot (PM), Zonosemata electa, is a Tephritid fruit fly native to horsenettle in North America, which first attacked peppers and eggplant in 1921. It has a patchy distribution throughout its range, which includes the eastern United States and Ontario, but also extends west to Kansas and south to Texas and Florida. In New England, it is quite common in the CT River Valley and along the shore in CT, MA and RI, and has been found as far north as Epping, NH. This pest has a single generation each year. The adult flies emerge from the soil in early to mid- July over a 10- to 14-day period. Males emerge up to 7 days before females. Each female can lay up to 50 eggs, beginning 6 to 7 days after mating. Eggs take 10 to 12 days to hatch. Mating is thought to occur exclusively on the host plant and fruit, where males will fight for territory to win a receptive female. However, the flies spend much of their time feeding in and inhabiting nearby trees, returning to the crop fields during daylight hours for mating and egg laying. Over 94% of egg laying occurs in the first 4 weeks after emergence. The flies may live through mid- to late August if not controlled. Fully grown maggots emerge from the fruit in late August or early September, and enter the soil to pass the winter as pupae.

The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is a relatively new invasive pest in the United States, and in recent years has become a serious agricultural issue. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and ornamental plants are all part of a wide host range; in the mid-Atlantic United States, H. halys has already caused millions of dollars in documented damage. Most current control strategies of H. halys involve the use of chemical applications to protect crops, and have disrupted Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems. In order to protect IPM management strategies in Pennsylvania, I evaluated H. halys activity levels in the field and the laboratory. I also evaluated feeding preferences of H. halys between peppers and sunflowers, and hypothetical implications of H. halys invasions in other countries. I began by looking at diurnal and nocturnal behavior of H.

Although most of the papers presented during the conference are included in this publication, there were three additional papers which are not presented here since they have been published elsewhere. Our goal was to bring together leading scientists from North America working on Tephritid fruit flies to present a progress report on their respective research and provide a general overview of the subject.
