Infection of cereal aphids by the fungus Entomophthora
SUMMARYThree species of Entomophthora killed many Metopolophium dirhodum, M. festucae and Sitobion avenae on wheat at Harpenden, Hertfordshire, in 1971. Rainfall was low and aphid numbers were small in May and there was no Entomophthora infection. E. planchoniana first infected M. dirhodum early in June and the percentage of each aphid species infected

The objective of this study was to observe the response of the bird cherry oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Linnaeus, 1758) to field rate equivalents of insecticides, by using bioassays of vials coated with the pyrethroid, λ-cyhalothrin.

Studies on Polyphagous Predators of Cereal Aphids
1. Experiments were done in fields of winter wheat at North Farm, West Sussex, and at Rothamsted in 1978 to investigate the effect of predation by carabid beetles and other polyphagous preadtors on populations of cereal aphids. 2. Predator populations were manipulated by pitfall trapping within plot surrounded by polythene barriers and by applying an ...

Genome of Russian wheat aphid an economically important cereal aphid
AbstractAlthough the hemipterans (Aphididae) are comprised of roughly 50,000 extant insect species, only four have sequenced genomes that are publically available, namely Acyrthosiphon pisum (pea aphid), Rhodnius prolixus (Kissing bug), Myzus persicae

Estimating Economic Thresholds and Economic Injury Levels for Schizaphis graminum (Rond.) and Sitobion avenae Fab. Infesting Wheat Plants in Najaf Government, Iraq [PDF]
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a vital cereal crop in Iraq and worldwide, but its productivity is threatened by cereal aphids, particularly Schizaphis graminum and Sitobion avenae.

Genetic Resources of Cereal Crops for Aphid Resistance
The genetic resources of cereal crops in terms of resistance to aphids are reviewed. Phytosanitary destabilization led to a significant increase in the harmfulness of this group of insects. The breeding of resistant plant genotypes is a radical, the cheapest, and environmentally safe way of pest control.

Effect of chlorophenoxy herbicides residues on probing behavior of cereal aphid
Chlorophenoxyacetic herbicides such as 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) are used for cereal protection.

Prevalent Pest Management Strategies for Grain Aphids: Opportunities and Challenges
Cereal plants in natural ecological systems are often either sequentially or simultaneously attacked by different species of aphids, which significantly decreases the quality and quantity of harvested grain.

Detoxification of Gramine by the Cereal Aphid Sitobion avenae [PDF]
Secondary metabolites play an important role in host plant resistance to insects, and insects, in turn, may develop mechanisms to counter plant resistance mechanisms. In this study, we investigated the toxicity of gramine to the cereal aphid Sitobion avenae and some enzymatic responses of S. avenae to this alkaloid. When S.
