Landing preference and reproduction of Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera : Aphididae) in the laboratory on three maize, potato, and wheat cultivars

Schroder, Michelle L.; Glinwood, R.; Ignell, R.; Kruger, Kerstin (Oxford University Press, 2015-05)

The bird cherry-oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) transmits the nonpersistent Potato virus Y (PVY) to seed potatoes. Planting a nonvirus host plant around the main crop can reduce PVY incidence, because aphids tend to land ...
Olfactory responses of Rhopalosiphum padi to three maize, potato, and wheat cultivars and the selection of prospective crop border plants

Schroder, Michelle L.; Glinwood, Robert; Webster, Ben; Ignell, R.; Kruger, Kerstin (Wiley, 2015-11)

Understanding host plant volatile – aphid interactions can facilitate the selection of crop border plants as a strategy to reduce plant virus incidence in crops. Crop border plant species with attractive odours could be ...
The role of visual and olfactory plant cues in aphid behaviour and the development of non-persistent virus management strategies

Schroder, Michelle L.; Glinwood, R.; Ignell, R.; Kruger, Kerstin (Springer, 2017-02)

Non-persistent viruses are transmitted by aphids in short feeding probes during the initial stages of aphid host plant selection behaviour. To control the transmission of these viruses, farmers rely on pesticides and ...
Visual cues and host-plant preference of the bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Schroder, Michelle L.; Glinwood, R.; Ignell, R.; Kruger, Kerstin (Entomological Society of Southern Africa, 2014)

Alate aphids respond to short (UV) and long (green-yellow) wavelength stimuli during host-plant searching behaviour. Although many aphids are attracted to yellow, the bird cherry-oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi, is attracted ...
