  • Flea Beetles
    E-74-W Vegetable Insects Department of Entomology FLEA BEETLES Rick E. Foster and John L. Obermeyer, Extension Entomologists Several species of fl ea beetles are common in Indiana, sometimes causing damage so severe that plants die. Flea beetles are small, hard-shelled insects, so named because their enlarged hind legs allow them to jump like fl eas from plants when disturbed. They usually move by walking or fl ying, but when alarmed they can jump a considerable distance. Most adult fl ea beetle damage is unique in appearance. They feed by chewing a small hole (often smaller than 1/8 inch) in a leaf, moving a short distance, then chewing another hole and so on. The result looks like a number of “shot holes” in the leaf. While some of the holes may meet, very often they do not. A major exception to this characteristic type of damage is that caused by the corn fl ea beetle, which eats the plant tissue forming narrow lines in the corn leaf surface. This damage gives plants a greyish appearance. Corn fl ea beetle damage on corn leaf (Photo Credit: John Obermeyer) extent of damage is realized. Therefore, it is very important to regularly check susceptible plants, especially when they are in the seedling stage. Most species of fl ea beetles emerge from hibernation in late May and feed on weeds and other plants, if hosts are not available. In Indiana, some species have multiple generations per year, and some have only one. Keeping fi elds free of weed hosts will help reduce fl ea beetle populations.

  • Flea Beetles
    Insects that Feed on Hemp – Leaf Chewers Flea Beetles Flea beetles are tiny beetles that have enlarged hind legs that allow them to jump. Two species of flea beetles have been recorded from hemp in Colorado, the western black flea beetle (Phyllotreta pusilla) and the palestriped flea beetle (Systena blanda). Damage produced by both species is done by the adult beetle, which chew on leaves. Leaf injuries initially produced are small pits produced by chewing, but as leaves develop the injured areas usually form holes (“shotholes”) in the interior of the leaf. The western black flea beetle is the smaller of the two, about 1/10-inch long, with a shiny dark body. Adults may be expected to be seen in hemp early in the season (June, early July) then again in late August and September. This insect has a very wide host range but develops in highest numbers in mustard family plants and it is a key pest of crops such as canola, Two common flea beetles associated with hemp in cabbage, and broccoli. Many common Colorado: palestriped flea beetle (top); western weeds, such as flixweed and tansy black flea beetle (bottom). mustard, are important in providing food plants that sustain the first generation of western black flea beetle. The palestriped flea beetle is a bit larger, about 1/6-inch long, and marked with yellowish stripes along the back. It also has a very large number of crops on which the adults will feed, including lettuce, beans, potato, and sunflower. The larvae of both of these flea beetles develop feeding on roots of plants.

Flea beetles (Alticinae) are characterized by an extraordinary jumping apparatus in the usually greatly expanded femur of their hind legs that separates them from the related Galerucinae. Here, we examine the evolution of this trait using phylogenetic analysis and a time-calibrated tree from mitochondrial (rrnL and cox1) and nuclear (small subunits and large subunits) genes, as well as morphometrics of femora using elliptic Fourier analysis. The phylogeny strongly supports multiple independent origins of the metafemoral spring and therefore rejects the monophyly of Alticinae, as defined by this trait. Geometric outline analysis of femora shows the great plasticity of this structure and its correlation with the type and diversity of the metafemoral springs. The recognition of convergence in jumping apparatus now resolves the long-standing difficulties of Galerucinae–Alticinae classification, and cautions against the value of trait complexity as a measure of taxonomic significance.

  • THESIS a SURVEY of the ARTHROPOD FAUNA ASSOCIATED with HEMP (CANNABIS SATIVA L.) GROWN in EASTERN COLORADO Submitted by Melissa
    THESIS A SURVEY OF THE ARTHROPOD FAUNA ASSOCIATED WITH HEMP (CANNABIS SATIVA L.) GROWN IN EASTERN COLORADO Submitted by Melissa Schreiner Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2019 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Whitney Cranshaw Frank Peairs Mark Uchanski Copyright by Melissa Schreiner 2019 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT A SURVEY OF THE ARTHROPOD FAUNA ASSOCIATED WITH HEMP (CANNABIS SATIVA L.) GROWN IN EASTERN COLORADO Industrial hemp was found to support a diverse complex of arthropods in the surveys of hemp fields in eastern Colorado. Seventy-three families of arthropods were collected from hemp grown in eight counties in Colorado in 2016, 2017, and 2018. Other important groups found in collections were of the order Diptera, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera. The arthropods present in fields had a range of association with the crop and included herbivores, natural enemies, pollen feeders, and incidental species. Hemp cultivars grown for seed and fiber had higher insect species richness compared to hemp grown for cannabidiol (CBD). This observational field survey of hemp serves as the first checklist of arthropods associated with the crop in eastern Colorado. Emerging key pests of the crop that are described include: corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea (Boddie)), hemp russet mite (Aculops cannibicola (Farkas)), cannabis aphid (Phorodon cannabis (Passerini)), and Eurasian hemp borer (Grapholita delineana (Walker)). Local outbreaks of several species of grasshoppers were observed and produced significant crop injury, particularly twostriped grasshopper (Melanoplus bivittatus (Say)). Approximately half (46%) of the arthropods collected in sweep net samples during the three year sampling period were categorized as predators, natural enemies of arthropods.

  • Producing Alfalfa from a to Z: When Minor Occasional Pests Become Important
    PRODUCING ALFALFA FROM A TO Z: WHEN MINOR OCCASIONAL PESTS BECOME IMPORTANT Larry Godfrey and Rachael Long1 ABSTRACT Alfalfa is a host to a number of arthropods, including insects and mites. However, few are pests, with most insects being either beneficial, in that they prey on other pests, or harmless. Integrated pest management programs have been developed to provide cost effective management practices for most of the key pests in alfalfa. However, minor pests have limited management information because they are only occasionally a problem, so difficult to study. This paper provides an update on management practices for minor pests that are found to occasionally cause economic damage to alfalfa stands. Key Words: alfalfa, integrated pest management, minor pests INTRODUCTION Integrated pest management programs (IPM) are well developed for key pests in alfalfa production, including weevils, aphids, and armyworms and alfalfa caterpillars. This includes the use of resistant plant varieties, economic thresholds via sweep net sampling, natural enemy counts that provide biocontrol of pests, modifying cutting schedules, and the use of pesticides when needed. This information can be readily found in the UC IPM guidelines (UC IPM 2006). Although the key pests of alfalfa are well known, there are still several minor pests of alfalfa that occasionally cause economic damage to fields, that are not well understood. These include the threecornered alfalfa hoppers, ground mealybugs, clover root curculio, cutworms, thrips, and most recently, the palestriped flea beetle. These pests are difficult to study because they are unpredictable in when and where outbreaks occur. That is, they may be an economic problem in alfalfa in one year, but then rarely again.
