Abstract/Contents: | "Plots at each of eight widespread permanent pasture sites below 300 m and representative of large areas of long established grassland in England and Wales, were treated with an insecticide plus molluscicide, a fungicide or nematicide treatment. Populations of various invertebrates and the occurrence of foliar fungal diseases were assessed. Leaf blotch (Drechslera) was the most common disease, but neither this nor other foliar fungal diseases were prevalent until late in the growing season. The fungicide treatment did not control diseases satisfactorily. The fungicide and nematicide treatment had little effect on total annual herbage yield. Leatherjackets, crambids, slugs and frit fly larvae were present, usually in low numbers, at most sites. The insecticide and molluscicide treatment increased yield by 11% on average across all sites and years. Losses caused by pests to UK grasslands were estimated to be over 500 million pounds per year." |
