Control of the variegated grasshopper Zonocerus variegatus (L.) on cassava

W. W. D. Modder TSpace 1994

Other claims from this paper (10)

Observation Early instars aggregate off farm, while later instars and adults move to crops when food becomes scarce.
Mechanism Aggregated feeding by larger grasshopper instars causes cassava leaves to wilt and lose HCN quickly.
Recommendation Eradication of Chromolaena odorata probably will not control the grasshopper.
Observation Chemical control is described as only short term effective and environmentally damaging.
Intervention effect Chemical sprays against the grasshopper kill parasitoids introduced for cassava mealybug control.
Intervention effect Exposing egg pods at the soil surface produced large grasshopper population reductions.
Intervention effect Fungal spores in kerosene and peanut oil killed 70-95% of field grasshopper populations.
Intervention effect A strain isolated from the grasshopper caused 90% mortality in 7-9 days in the laboratory.
Intervention effect Grasshoppers leaving spore baited traps died within 10 days, up to 30 m away.
Intervention effect One simulated defoliation did not decrease cassava root yield.

Influence of Japanese Brome on Western Wheatgrass Yield

Marshall R. Haferkamp; R. K. Heitschmidt; Michael G. Karl Journal of Range Management 1997. doi:10.2307/4002704

Other claims from this paper (6)

Intervention effect Removal of Japanese brome reduced total standing crop by 500 kg ha-1 in the western wheatgrass community.
Intervention effect Removal of Japanese brome increased standing crop of western wheatgrass by 220 kg ha-2.
Intervention effect Removal of Japanese brome increased tiller density of western wheatgrass by 153 tillers m-2.
Mechanism The increase in western wheatgrass standing crop appeared to result from increased tiller density rather than increased weight per tiller.
Intervention effect Western wheatgrass water relations were essentially unaffected by removal of Japanese brome in 1992.
Recommendation Removal of Japanese brome may increase production of associated perennial grasses.
