  • ABSTRACT the First Through Fifth Instars of the Gypsy Moth Were Tested for Development to Adults on 326 Species of Dicotyledonous Plants in Laboratory Feeding Trials
    LABORATORY FEEDING TESTS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF GYPSY MOTH LARVAE WITH REFERENCE TO PLANT TAXA AND ALLELOCHEMICALS JEFFREY C. MILLER and PAUL E. HANSON DEPARTMENT OF ENTOMOLOGY, OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY, CORVALLIS, OREGON 97331 ABSTRACT The first through fifth instars of the gypsy moth were tested for development to adults on 326 species of dicotyledonous plants in laboratory feeding trials. Among accepted plants, differences in suitability were documented by measuring female pupal weights. The majority of accepted plants belong to the subclasses Dilleniidae, Hamamelidae, and Rosidae. Species of oak, maple, alder, madrone, eucalyptus, poplar, and sumac were highly suitable. Plants belonging to the Asteridae, Caryophyllidae, and Magnoliidae were mostly rejected. Foliage type, new or old, and instar influenced host plant suitability. Larvae of various instars were able to pupate after feeding on foliage of 147 plant species. Of these, 1.01 were accepted by first instars. Larvae from the first through fifth instar failed to molt on foliage of 151 species. Minor feeding occurred on 67 of these species. In general, larvae accepted new foliage on evergreen species more readily than old foliage. The results of these trials were combined with results from three previous studies to provide data on feeding responses of gypsy moth larvae on a total of 658 species, 286 genera, and 106 families of dicots. Allelochemic compositions of these plants were tabulated from available literature and compared with acceptance or rejection by gypsy moth. Plants accepted by gypsy moth generally contain tannins, but lack alkaloids, iridoid monoterpenes, sesquiterpenoids, diterpenoids, and glucosinolates. 2 PREFACE This research was funded through grants from USDA Forest Service cooperative agreement no.

  • Eucalyptus Oil - Wikipedia
    4/5/2020 Eucalyptus oil - Wikipedia Eucalyptus oil Eucalyptus oil is the generic name for distilled oil from the leaf of Eucalyptus, a genus of the plant family Myrtaceae native to Australia and cultivated worldwide. Eucalyptus oil has a history of wide application, as a pharmaceutical, antiseptic, repellent, flavouring, fragrance and industrial uses. The leaves of selected Eucalyptus species are steam distilled to extract eucalyptus oil. Contents Types and production Uses As an ingredient Repellent and biopesticide Eucalyptus oil for Flavouring and fragrance pharmaceutical Industrial use. Cleaning Safety and toxicity History Species utilised Compendial status See also References Further reading External links Types and production Eucalyptus oils in the trade are categorized into three broad types according to their composition and main end-use: medicinal, perfumery and industrial.[1] The most prevalent is the standard cineole-based "oil of eucalyptus", a colourless mobile liquid (yellow with age) with a penetrating, camphoraceous, woody-sweet scent.[2] China produces about 75% of the world trade, but most of this is derived from the cineole fractions of camphor laurel rather than being true eucalyptus oil.[3] Significant producers of true eucalyptus oil include South Africa, Portugal, Spain, Brazil, Australia, Chile, and Swaziland. Global production is dominated by Eucalyptus globulus. However, Eucalyptus kochii and Eucalyptus polybractea have the highest cineole content, ranging from 80-95%.

  • CITY of MELBOURNE URBAN FOREST STRATEGY 10 July 2012
    Page 1 of 253 FUTURE MELBOURNE (ECO-CITY) Agenda Item 5.1 COMMITTEE REPORT CITY OF MELBOURNE URBAN FOREST STRATEGY 10 July 2012 Presenter: Ian Shears, Manager Urban Landscapes Purpose and background 1. The purpose of this report is to provide the Future Melbourne Committee with an assessment of the public consultation on the draft Urban Forest Strategy undertaken between November 2011- April 2012 and to seek endorsement of the revised draft Urban Forest Strategy (Strategy) (refer Attachment 2) and the Urban Forest Diversity Guidelines (Guidelines) which support the Strategy (refer Attachment 3). 2. At its 8 November 2011 meeting the Future Melbourne Committee endorsed the draft Urban Forest Strategy for public consultation. Key issues 3. The Strategy and the Guidelines have now been revised to reflect the comments and feedback received during the consultation period. A detailed report on consultation feedback is attached (refer Attachment 4). 4. An extensive engagement process was undertaken on the draft Strategy and Guidelines from 9 November 2011 until 31 March 2012 to seek feedback from the community, agencies and stakeholders. 5. Feedback revealed that the community predominantly support the Strategy and Guidelines. However, it must be noted that many comments received during the consultation pertained to expressions of preference on the topic of species origin which was not pertinent to consultation on the Strategy. 6. The Strategy and Guidelines received widespread academic and industry support both locally, nationally and internationally. 7. Several experts were commissioned to assist with the further development of the Strategy document based on the outcomes of the consultation including Dr Dave Kendal and Cynnamon Dobbs, PhD candidate, both from Australian Research Centre of Urban Ecology (ARCUE) at University of Melbourne, Dr Peter May, May Horticulture and Anna Egan, PhD candidate, University of Tasmania.
