| Abstract/Contents: | The following is virtually the author's summary of this account of work on Macrosiphum (Metopolophium festucae (Theo.)), which in some years causes extensive damage to cereal crops in Britain, though its principal food-plants seem to be grasses. M. festucae is a coldhardy species. On young oat seedlings, nymphs were produced from apterae at temperatures below 6 deg.C. The alatae are less well adapted to low temperatures. In a laboratory experiment, the average daily production of nymphs from apterae was 0.96 at 10.2 deg.C and 2.71 at 22.8 deg.C; the corresponding figures for alatae were 0.42 and 1.81. Aphids on oats, wheat or Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) produced slightly more progeny than those on barley, timothy (Phleum pratense) or cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata). The adults produced on the cereals were heavier than those produced on the grasses. It is postulated that the aphids require a perennial crop on which to overwinter as nymphs or parthenogenetic adults. Consequently, successful colonization of cereal crops is rare. |
