D. diffusa “True” WHA D. terrapictalis “False” WHA Wheat Curl Mite Eriophyes tulipae • The mites are very tiny, white, spindle-shaped, with 4 legs near the anterior end. • Reproduce parthenogenetically (without males). • Overwinter on grasses or volunteer wheat. • Damage: Transmits a viral disease called wheat streak mosaic. • This virus can cause serious reductions in wheat crop yields. • Although the mites feed on a variety of grasses, wheat is the preferred host. • High populations can develop during the summer and fall on volunteer wheat. • Control: Cultural - prevent the growth of volunteer wheat. Late planting. Resistant cultivars. Chemicals are rarely effective. •Hail belt areas are in greatest need of protection. Russian Wheat Aphid Diuraphis noxia • Native to southern Russia and the Mediterranean region. • Introduced in the U.S. in 1986. • Reproduces sexually or asexually. • Several generations per year. • Overwinter as immatures or adults in grasses. Damage: • RWA initiates feeding at the base of the leaves near the top of the plant. It injects a toxic saliva into the plant. •The edges of the leaf curl inward protecting the pest. • Plants become purplish and leaves develop longitudinal yellowish and whitish streaks. • Tillers of heavily infested plants run parallel to the ground (a prostrate appearance). • Heads are distorted. Control: • Cultural – control volunteer wheat; avoid early planting; use resistant varieties; maintain healthy stand. • Biological – parasitic wasps, ladybird beetles. • Chemical – foliar sprays with systemics. Greenbug aphids •Inject toxin when feed. Cause “greenbug spots.” •Control: systemic insecticides.

Digital colorization by Chris Pooley, USDA. ROLE OF VOLUNTEERS HOST PLANT RESISTANCE •One IPM strategy is to grow crop varieties that are resistant to pest damage. •Host plant resistance can be broken down into three categories: • Non-preference (= antixenosis) • Plants either provide stimuli that are unattractive to the pest (color, odor, texture such as downy hairs) or fail to provide stimuli that are attractive to the pest. • Non-preference plants affect the behavior of pests. • Antibiosis. Type of resistance in which the host plant causes injury, death, reduced longevity, or reduced reproduction of the pest. • Resistant variety will respond more quickly or more dramatically than the susceptible variety, reducing the amount of damage the pest causes. • Plants that express antibiosis affect the biology of pests. • Tolerance. Host plants that express tolerance are resistant to pest damage because they can remain healthy and yield well despite the damage. • These plants must also be able to heal wounds and fight diseases that enter through wounds. BREEDING PROGRAMS IN THE PNW http://cropandsoil.oregonstate.edu/group/wheat http://css.wsu.edu/research/crop_genetics/breeding/ http://limagraincerealseeds.com/Regions/pacific-northwest CHEMICAL CONTROL •Chemical tactics to manage pests can include many types of compounds. •Some chemicals repel or confuse pests; some interfere with weed photosynthesis, insect molting processes or development. •KNOW your pesticides !!!!!!! Pesticide = "pest killer“ •Continuous evaluation of old and new, safer products. General information • Organophosphate Pesticides - These pesticides affect the nervous system by disrupting the enzyme that regulates acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. • Carbamate Pesticides affect the nervous system by disrupting an enzyme that regulates acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter. The enzyme effects are usually reversible. • Organochlorine Insecticides were commonly used in the past, but many have been removed from the market due to their health and environmental effects and their persistence (e.g. DDT and chlordane). • Pyrethroid Pesticides were developed as a synthetic version of the naturally occurring pesticide pyrethrin (chrysanthemums). They have been modified to increase their stability in the environment. Some synthetic pyrethroids are toxic to the nervous system. • Biopesticides. Derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. E.g. canola oil and baking soda have pesticidal applications.

  • Moths of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge
    MOTHS OF UMATILLA NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE: Results from 10 sites Sampled May 22-23, 2017 Dana Ross 1005 NW 30th Street Corvallis, OR 97330 (541) 758-3006 [email protected] SUMMARY Macro-moths were sampled from the Umatilla National Wildlife Refuge for a third time 22-23 May, 2017 as part of an ongoing pollinator inventory. Blacklight traps were deployed for a single night at ten sites representative of major plant communities in the McCormack and Paterson Units. A grand total of 331 specimens and 36 moth species were sampled. Of those, 17 species (47%) were documented from the refuge for the first time. In a somewhat larger geographical context, 21 species were recorded for the first (8), second (7) or third (6) time from Morrow County, Oregon while 4 species were documented for the first (1) or second (3) time from Benton County, Washington. INTRODUCTION National Wildlife Refuges protect important habitats for many plant and animal species. Refuge inventories have frequently included plants, birds and mammals, but insects - arguably the most abundant and species-rich group in any terrestrial habitat - have largely been ignored. Small size, high species richness and a lack of identification resources have all likely contributed to their being overlooked. Certain groups such as moths, however, can be easily and inexpensively sampled using light traps and can be identified by regional moth taxonomists. Once identified, many moth species can be tied to known larval hostplant species at a given site, placing both insect and plant within a larger ecological context. Moths along with butterflies belong to the insect Order Lepidoptera.

  • Electromagnetic Field and TGF-Β Enhance the Compensatory
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Electromagnetic feld and TGF‑β enhance the compensatory plasticity after sensory nerve injury in cockroach Periplaneta americana Milena Jankowska1, Angelika Klimek1, Chiara Valsecchi2, Maria Stankiewicz1, Joanna Wyszkowska1* & Justyna Rogalska1 Recovery of function after sensory nerves injury involves compensatory plasticity, which can be observed in invertebrates. The aim of the study was the evaluation of compensatory plasticity in the cockroach (Periplaneta americana) nervous system after the sensory nerve injury and assessment of the efect of electromagnetic feld exposure (EMF, 50 Hz, 7 mT) and TGF‑β on this process. The bioelectrical activities of nerves (pre‑and post‑synaptic parts of the sensory path) were recorded under wind stimulation of the cerci before and after right cercus ablation and in insects exposed to EMF and treated with TGF‑β. Ablation of the right cercus caused an increase of activity of the left presynaptic part of the sensory path. Exposure to EMF and TGF‑β induced an increase of activity in both parts of the sensory path. This suggests strengthening efects of EMF and TGF‑β on the insect ability to recognize stimuli after one cercus ablation. Data from locomotor tests proved electrophysiological results. The takeover of the function of one cercus by the second one proves the existence of compensatory plasticity in the cockroach escape system, which makes it a good model for studying compensatory plasticity. We recommend further research on EMF as a useful factor in neurorehabilitation. Injuries in the nervous system caused by acute trauma, neurodegenerative diseases or even old age are hard to reverse and represent an enormous challenge for modern medicine.

  • Advances in Dryland Farming in the Inland Pacific Northwest
    This an excerpt of Advances in Dryland Farming in the Inland Pacific Northwest Advances in Dryland Farming in the Inland Pacific Northwest represents a joint effort by a multi-disciplinary group of scientists from across the region over a three-year period. Together they compiled and synthesized recent research advances as well as economic and other practical considerations to support farmers as they make decisions relating to productivity, resilience, and their bottom lines. The effort to produce this book was made possible with the support of the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture through the REACCH project. This six-year project aimed to enhance the sustainability of Pacific Northwest cereal systems and contribute to climate change mitigation. The project, led by the University of Idaho, also convened scientists from Washington State University, Oregon State University, the USDA Agricultural Research Service, and Boise State University. To access the entire book, visit the Washington1 State University Extension Learning Library.

  • ECOLOGY and MANAGEMENT of MORMON CRICKET, Anabrus Simplex Haldeman
    • ECOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF MORMON CRICKET, Anabrus simplex Haldeman Final report to the National Park Service submitted by John Capinera and Charles MacVean, Department of Entomology Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 April, 1987 INTRODUCTION The Mormon cricket, Anabrus simplex Haldeman, is a flightless, shield-backed grasshopper which occurs primarily in the Great Plains and sagebrush-dominated regions of the United States and Canada. It is a gregarious insect and is probably best known for its huge migratory aggregations, or bands. These typically develop in permanent breeding areas in broken, mountain habitat and then spread, by walking, to surrounding areas, including agricultural lowlands and valleys (Wakeland and Shull 1 936). Dating to the early encounter in 1848 between hordes of this insect and Mormon settlers in the Salt Lake Valley - from which the name "Mormon crickets" stems - sporadic outbreaks of crickets have caused severe damage to crops, especially wheat and alfalfa (Cowan 1929, Wakeland 1959, Evans 1985). Though crickets normally feed on a wide diversity of rangeland plants, crops are highly preferred (Swain 1944). Homesteaders were forced to abandon farming in northwest Colorado due to the yearly invasions of crickets during the 1920's. Damaging numbers of crickets persisted into the late thirties, with the peak of the epidemic occurring in 1938. Damage by crickets to rangeland plants has been much more difficult to assess than crop damage (Swain 1940, 1944). While crickets do feed on range grasses, particularly the inflorescences, they clearly prefer broad-leaf, succulent species of lesser forage value when these are present (Cowan 1929, Swain 1 944, Wakeland 1959).

  • Tate Plant Board
    LIBRARY TATE PLANT BOARD E-479 June 1939 United States Department of Agriculture Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine AIDS TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE MORMON AND COULEE CRICKETS AND THEIR ALLIES (ORTHOPTERA; TETTIGONIIDAE, GRYLLACRIDIDAE) By Ashley B. Gurney, Division of Insect Identification Introduction In field work with the Mormon cricket (Anabrus simplex Hald.) and the coulee cricket (Peranabrus scabricollis (Thos.)), it is important to distinguish the two species from each other and from several allied genera and species of Orthoptera. In this paper identification keys, descriptions, notes on known distribution, and illustrations are presented for the purpose of aiding in the identification of these species. In some cases it is inm- possible at present to be sure whether certain specimens which have been studied represent two distinct species or whether they are subspecies of the same one. An attempt has been made to explain such difficulties, and to suggest what specimens will be most helpful in adding to our knowledge of the taxonomic position and geographical distribution of those forms. The principal genera discussed, in addition to the most important ones, Anabrus and Peranabrus, are Apote, Steiroxys, Pediodectes, and Eremopedes. The present paper will be more useful to field workers if a short time is given to studying identified material of several species, so that the important distinctions may be learned by comparison with specimens. The paper is the outgrowth of a study of collections made in 1938 by field work— ers in 10 Western States, who brought together large and important series of several species and genera. Caudell (1907) monographed the Decticinae of North America, and, as regards the species of immediate concern to the Mormon cricket problen, there have been few taxonomic changes.
