  • What We Have Learned About the Bermudagrass Stem Maggot
    WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT THE BERMUDAGRASS STEM MAGGOT D.W. Hancock, W.G. Hudson, L.L. Baxter, and J.T. McCullers1 Abstract Since first being discovered in southern Georgia in July 2010, the bermudagrass stem maggot (BSM; Atherigona reversura Villeneuve) has infested and damaged forage bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) throughout the southeastern United States. Our objectives for this presentation were to summarize the available literature on this new, invasive species and provide additional insight from what is currently known about other Atherigona spp. The BSM, along with other Atherigona spp., are small, muscid flies native to Central and Southeast Asia. The adult fly of the BSM lays its eggs on bermudagrass leaves. Upon hatching, the BSM larva slips into the sheath, down the tiller, and penetrates the pseudostem at the first node. The BSM larva then feeds on the vascular tissue, sap, and (potentially) the subsequent decaying plant material before exiting the tiller, pupating in the soil, and emerging as a fly. As a result of the larval feeding, bermudagrass exhibits senescence and necrosis of the terminal leaves on the affected shoots. The affected leaves are easily pulled out of the sheath and show obvious damage near the affected node. In severe infestations, over 80% of the tillers in a given area may be affected. There is a paucity of information about the lifecycle of A. reversura and how it can be managed or controlled, but some information is available on basic larva behavior, fly physiology, and the potential differences in resistance among some bermudagrass varieties. Additional research is underway to better understand the lifecycle of this species, confirm and quantify the degree of preference A.

Other specles were bred from a range of host grasses. Introduction The sorghum shootfly, Atherigonasoccaa Rond., is well known as a serlous pest of sorghum in lndia (Jotwani eral., 1970). It is also a widely distributed and occas~onallydamaglng pest in Africa (Swa~neand Wyatt, 1954; Langham, 1968; Deeming, 1971). Control of the fly has been achieved uslng systemlc ~nsecticides(Jotwani and Sukhanl, 1968; Thobbietal., 1968; Barry, 1972). There have. however, been several reports of only part~alsuccess in controlling the fly with contact insect~cides(Swalne and Wyatt, 1954; Wheatley, 1961) or failure to control tt (Ingram, 1959).

  • Cereal Crops Research Achievements and Challenges in Ethiopia
    International Journal of Research and Review www.ijrrjournal.com E-ISSN: 2349-9788; P-ISSN: 2454-2237 Review Article Cereal Crops Research Achievements and Challenges in Ethiopia Abebaw Dessie Ethiopian Institute Agricultural Research, Fogera National Rice Research and Training Center, Wereta Ethiopia ABSTRACT Cereals are the principal class of crops in Ethiopia in terms of area coverage (10.22 million ha), volume of grain production (25.38 million metric tons), engaging 16.24 million smallholder Ethiopian farmers for their livelihood, and economic importance with respect to food security in the country. In spite of this, the production and productivity of cereals in Ethiopia has been seriously challenged by a multitude of biotic and abiotic stresses resulted the national average grain yield has been very low (2.45 t/ha). Despite of this fact, a total of 391 improved cereal varieties which comprises 36 tef, 66 maize, 35 rice (15 upland, 11 lowland and 9 irrigated), 106 bread wheat, 35 durum wheat, 47 sorghum, 53 barley (37 foods and 16malt) and 13 finger have been released/registered up to date. These are accompanied as a package by a number of improved crop management agronomic/cultural practices, soil and water management, pest management, farm implement, and utilization and processing technologies. This paper presents an overview of the historical milestones, the major achievements recorded and challenges of cereal research in Ethiopia with special focus on the major cereals including tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter], maize (Zea mays L.), bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.), rice (Oryza sativa L.), and finger millet (Eleusine corocana L.).

    Terrestrial Arthropod Survey of Hālona Valley, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, August 2020–November 2020 Neal L. Evenhuis, Keith T. Arakaki, Clyde T. Imada Hawaii Biological Survey Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817, USA Final Report prepared for the U.S. Navy Contribution No. 2021-003 to the Hawaii Biological Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bishop Museum was contracted by the U.S. Navy to conduct surveys of terrestrial arthropods in Hālona Valley, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, in order to assess the status of populations of three groups of insects, including species at risk in those groups: picture-winged Drosophila (Diptera; flies), Hylaeus spp. (Hymenoptera; bees), and Rhyncogonus welchii (Coleoptera; weevils). The first complete survey of Lualualei for terrestrial arthropods was made by Bishop Museum in 1997. Since then, the Bishop Museum has conducted surveys in Hālona Valley in 2015, 2016–2017, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The current survey was conducted from August 2020 through November 2020, comprising a total of 12 trips; using yellow water pan traps, pitfall traps, hand collecting, aerial net collecting, observations, vegetation beating, and a Malaise trap. The area chosen for study was a Sapindus oahuensis grove on a southeastern slope of mid-Hālona Valley. The area had potential for all three groups of arthropods to be present, especially the Rhyncogonus weevil, which has previously been found in association with Sapindus trees. Trapped and collected insects were taken back to the Bishop Museum for sorting, identification, data entry, and storage and preservation. The results of the surveys proved negative for any of the target groups.
