A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Washington and Oregon Apple Orchards
    HORTICULTURAL ENTOMOLOGY Phenology of Lacanobia subjuncta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Washington and Oregon Apple Orchards MICHAEL D. DOERR, JAY F. BRUNNER, AND VINCENT P. JONES Washington State University Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center, 1100 N. Western Avenue, Wenatchee, WA 98801 J. Econ. Entomol. 98(6): 2100Ð2106 (2005) ABSTRACT The phenology of Lacanobia subjuncta (Grote & Robinson) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was investigated in 30 apple orchards in central Washington state and northeastern Oregon from 1998 to 2001 (57 total orchard-yr). Adult captures in pheromone-baited traps were Þt to a Weibull distribution to model emergence of the Þrst and second generations. Initial capture of Þrst generation adults was observed at 216.2 Ϯ 2.6 degree-days (DD) (mean Ϯ SEM) from 1 March by using a base temperature of 6.7ЊC. The model predicted that ßight was 5 and 95% complete by 240 and 700 degree-days (DD), respectively. Monitoring of oviposition and hatch was used to establish a protandry plus preoviposition degree-day requirement of 160.0 Ϯ 7.7 DD, as well as to provide data to describe the entire hatch period. Egg hatch was 5 and 95% complete by 395 and 630 DD, respectively. The start of the second ßight was observed at 1217.1 Ϯ 8.3 DD by using an upper threshold for development of 32ЊC and a horizontal cutoff. The model indicated that the second ßight was 5 and 95% complete by 1220 and 1690 DD, respectively. Second generation hatch was 5 and 95% complete by 1440 and 1740 DD, respectively. A discussion of the potential uses of these detailed phenology data in optimizing management strategies is presented.

  • 57. Accident Prevention Plan INTRODUCTION Like Everything Else in a Farm Enterprise, Health and Security Must Be Managed
    Wild Blueberry in a Context of Production Guide... Sustainable Development 57. Accident Prevention Plan INTRODUCTION Like everything else in a farm enterprise, health and security must be managed. This means dedicating a certain amount of time to these concerns, and emphasizing teamwork. The employer must show that he cares about accident prevention, and employees must be involved in fi nding causes and solutions. BILL C-21 AND EMPLOYER OBLIGATIONS In force since March 31, 2004, the Act to amend the Criminal Code of Canada (Bill C-21) included substantial changes with regard to health and safety in the workplace. Employers are now subject to criminal proceedings after a serious accident if measures were not in place to protect the health and safety of workers. In fact, anyone who manages or supervises one or more workers must show that health and safety obligations are respected, taking all reasonable precautions to prevent bodily injury due to accident. Bill C-21 reinforces the Québec Act respecting Occupational health and safety (see References), which stipulates that every worker has a right to working conditions that have proper regard for his health, safety and physical well-being (section 9). The employer thus has an obligation to take whatever measures are necessary to protect the health and safety of workers (section 51). He must ensure that risks are eliminated at the source by organizing the workplace in a safe manner and by training workers on safe techniques and procedures. He is also obligated to provide individual protection equipment, free of charge, and to require workers to use it.

  • Regional Population Dynamics of Argyrotaenia Citrana in Northwest
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THIS OF Alan Lee Knight for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Entomology presented on April 3, 1986. Title: Regional Population Dynamics of-Argyrotaenia citrana in Northwest Caneberry: Phenology, Overwintering Survivorship, and Movement as Measured by Pheromone Traps and Larval Sampling. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Developmental requirements were determined for both larva and pupa as 503 and 176 degree-days (dd) above a lower threshold of 5°C. Adult emergence occurred from 300 to 700 dd accumulated from January 1st. Cumulative male emergence preceded female's by 50- 80 dd. A PETE phenology model modified to include a temperature-dependent female activity function to regulate oviposition significantly improved prediction of egg hatch. Two pheromone trap catch peaks occurred in fields with overwintering populations. The first coincided with peak male emergence; as female emergence peaked, pheromone trap catches declined. The second peak occurred after 750 dd and varied in size with the first peak. The influence of female moth/pheromone trap competition on temporal patterns of trap catch was studied in a semi-enclosed courtyard. Three distinct periods of pheromone trap catch interpretation each bounded by a specific ratio of active males-to-calling females were seen. Two trap catch peaks typically occurred. Field sampling of overwintering populations, laboratory temperature bioassays, and controlled field experiments demonstrated that age-specific differences in cold hardiness exist among larval stages and correlation of historical winter temperatures with pheramone trap catch suggests winter severity is a major factor influencing the timing of spring emergence. A large grid of pheromone traps canbined with larval sampling were used to assess regional overwintering survivorship and seasonal movement patterns.
