A manually operated 10 cm diameter soil sampler, capable of sampling a wide range of pastureland soils, has been developed for population studies of Costelytra zealandica (White). The number of samples taken per 8-h man-day depends on plot size, soil

Small plot mowing trials carried out on central North Island pumice soils have shown that Huia white clover and SI70 tall fescue support high grass grub populations, while the resistant legumes Wairau lucerne and Maku Lotus pedunculayus suppress gras

Summary The major problem associated with detailed pasture insect pest assessment studies is the translation of losses in pasture quality and quantity into animal production. This conIersion is necessary if the economics of insect damage are to be me

Experience with outbreaks of 2 new pests — blue green lucerne aphid (BGA), Acyrthosiphon kondi Shinji, and pea aphid, A. pisum (Harris) — in the lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) crops of the southern North Island, provides an example of the value of

The sedentary nature of grass grub, Costelytra zealandica (White), infestations and the tendency for populations to increase steadily over several generations until they reach damaging levels allow populations over the build-up phase to be predicted

Aerial photography has proved a useful technique for detecting and measuring areas of pasture damaged by larvae of Costelytra zealandica (White). Colour infrared film appears to be more versatile for this work than conventional colour film. Distincti

In the field, larval resistance in Holcus lanatus and Phalaris tuberosa was identified and resistance in Lotus pedunculatus, Medicago sativa, and Poa pratensis confirmed. Trifoliate legumes were extremely favourable host plants for larvae in comparis

Mortality of third instar grass grub occurred in the laboratory at lower temperatures with Neoaplectana glaseri Steiner than with Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar. Field applications of N. glaseri were sprayed onto small plots at 3 or more rates

Field and glasshouse studies showed that infestations of pea aphid (Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris) and bluegreen lucerne aphid (A. kondoi Shinji) (BGA) caused increased coumestrol levels in herbage of lucerne (Medicago sativa cv. “Wairau”). Under fi
