Runge Head of Department, Kevin Heinz August 2007 Major Subject: Entomology iii ABSTRACT Damage Assessment and Sampling of the Rice Stink Bug, Oebalus pugnax (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), in Rice, Oryza sativa L., in Texas. (August 2007) Luis Espino Vargas, B.S., Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina; M.Ag., Texas A&M University Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Michael O. Way Dr. Jimmy K. Olson Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted from 2003 to 2006 at the Texas A&M University Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Beaumont and commercial rice fields throughout the Texas Rice Belt with the objectives of characterizing the nature of rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (Fabricius), damage to rice, Oryza sativa L., and developing visual sampling methods and sequential sampling plans. During 2005 and 2006, in greenhouse and field experiments, rice plants were caged and infested with adult or nymph O. pugnax during the heading, milk or soft dough stage. No differences were found in the weight of rough, brown or milled rice infested with O. pugnax during different stages. More peck was found in grain from plants infested during milk and soft dough than heading. Adult O. pugnax caused more peck than nymphs in all stages. In field experiments conducted during 2005 and 2006, single rice panicles were caged at the onset of heading and infested with one male or female O. pugnax for 48 h during the heading, milk, soft or hard dough stage. No differences were found in the weight of rough rice per panicle infested with O. pugnax. No differences were detected iv in percentage peck caused by male and female O. pugnax. Infestation during all stages of panicle development produced significantly more peck than no infestation. In greenhouse experiments conducted during 2004 and 2005, rice plants at the pre-heading, heading, milk and soft dough stages were caged together and infested with male and female O. pugnax. Insects were observed for a period of five days and their preferences recorded. More insects were observed on milk and soft dough than on pre- heading or heading plants. Commercial rice fields throughout the Texas Rice Belt were sampled during 2003 and 2004 and visual sampling methods were compared to the sweep net method of sampling. Analysis of covariance showed that one sweep of the “long stick” or two sweeps of the “sweep stick” compared favorably to 10 sweep net sweeps. Analyses revealed that visual sampling using the long stick is more cost-reliable than sweep net sampling for O. pugnax in Texas rice fields. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I thank Drs. M. O. Way, J. K. Olson, L.

It hibernates during the coldest months of the year in refuges such as bamboo litter. This study examined O. poecilus hibernation to determine the causes of mortality during this period. The study was conducted in a 140 m2 bamboo plantation located in a rice-growing area in Eldorado do Sul County (30° 02’ S and 51° 23’ W), RS. During June 2000 to April 2002, 63 samples of litter were taken in weekly or fortnightly intervals, and the number of bugs recorded in the laboratory.

  • Rice Crop Timeline for the Southern States of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi Matt Shipp, Louisiana State University
    Rice Crop Timeline for the Southern States of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi Matt Shipp, Louisiana State University INTRODUCTION This timeline has been created to give a general overview of crop production, worker activities, and key pests of rice grown in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. This document is intended to describe the activities and their relationship to pesticide applications that take place in the field throughout the crop cycle. Pesticide use recommendations are current as of 2002. CROP PRODUCTION Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi rank 1, 2, and 4, respectively, for rice production within the United States. The three states had a combined total of 2,420,000 acres harvested in 2001. The value of these acres was slightly over $640,000,000 and represented 72% of the nation’s total. Short grain – Arkansas Medium grain – Arkansas and Louisiana Long grain – Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi Rice thrives in the warmer temperate regions of the south. It can be cultivated in almost any soil type other than deep sand. An important factor, regardless of soil texture, is the presence of an impervious subsoil layer in the form of a fragipan or clay horizon minimizing the percolation of water. The idea is to be able to maintain water in the fields which are, in essence, shallow ponds. LAND AND SEEDBED PREPARATION Leveling and Drainage Considerations Fields for growing rice should be relatively level but gently sloping toward drainage ditches. Ideally, land leveling for a uniform grade of 0.2 percent slope or less provides the following: (1) necessary early drainage in the spring for early soil preparation which permits early seeding, (2) uniform flood depth which reduces the amount of water needed for irrigation, and (3) the need for fewer levees.

  • Mined Species. Visits, Thus Securing a Number of New and Interesting
    59.57,7(75.9) Article 111.- INSECTS OF FLORIDA. I. DIPTERA. BY CHARLES W. JOHNSON. In 1895 the writer prepared a list of the Diptera of Florida,' based chiefly on material collected while living in St. Augustine, 1880-88, a collecting trip in March, 1891, and again in 1894, a collection made by Mrs. Annie Trumbull Slosson, the collection of Mr. Charles Robertson, and the collec- tion of the U. S. National Museum. The list contained about 450 deter- mined species. Since that time Mrs. Slosson has continued collecting during her winter visits, thus securing a number of new and interesting species, many of which were determined by the late D. W. Coquillett. The American Museum of Natural History has sent several expeditions to the State and much valuable material was obtained by Dr. Frank E. Lutz and Mr. John A.. Grossbeck. Mr. Millard C. Van Duzee in the Spring of 1908 added many interesting species and data. To Messrs. Wm. T. Davis, C. H. T. Townsend, J. Chester Bradley, C. P. Whitney and Philip Laurent I arn also indebted for a num- ber of additional species and data. In this list I have tried to give sufficient synonymy and notes so that where I have corrected the previous list the names of the two can always be correlated notwithstanding the great changes that have taken place in the nomenclature. To keep abreast of the changes which are constantly being made, I have been obliged to discard many of the genera used in Aldrich's catalogue. While I do not favor radical changes in a faunal list, it does not seem desirable to longer perpetuate names that we know will have to be changed, and the sooner these older names are adopted, the better it will be for dipterology.

Since then, many more specimens have become available for study, substantial papers on regional faunas have been published, and many revisions and other taxonomic changes have taken place. As a consequence, 40% of the names from the previous Missouri state list have changed or the taxa have been removed.
