| Abstract/Contents: | This paper forms part of an account of the proceedings of the Assoication of Applied Biologists, which held a meeting in London on 17 December 1975. The populations of larvae of Diptera (especially Oscinella frit (L.)) damaging the stems of grasses were compared in 1969-74 on plots at Hurley in England that were either sown with different grass species and varieties or treated culturally in different ways. It was found that the level of nitrogen applied as fertilizer on perennial ryegrass [Lolium perenne] did not cause significant differences in larval density, although larval populations flucturated considerably from year to year. Numbers of adults and larvae on grass grazed by sheep were appreciably greater during the first 2 years after sowing than on those mown by a forage harvester, at the same level of nitrogen application, but the difference tended to disappear as the turf aged. Counts of stems and larvae in the autumn of the second year after sowing showed considerable differences in infestation rates between Lolium spp. and other grasses and between species and varieties of Lolium; these differences could not be accounted for by differences in stem density. It is concluded that grass varieties liable to infestation by Diptera should not be close-grazed for 3 years, since this prolongs the susceptible regrowth stage of the grass, but that no restriction on the type or amount of nitrogenous fertilizer used is necessary. |
