Abstract/Contents: | "Frit-fly larvae (Oscinella spp.) frequently damage newly sown grass. The infestation arises either by larvae from a previous ploughed-in sward migrating up from depth, or by larvae hatching from eggs laid on or near seedlings by adults that fly in. This experiment, done at five widely separated sites in England, investigated which source of larvae is the most important on autumn-sown grass. Plots were reseeded, after ploughing a previous sward, into areas that were untreated or had been treated with glyphosate and left for the larvae to perish before ploughing or not. A range of pesticides was used on the reseeded plots to assess the impact of larvae arising by direct oviposition (fly-in) and to evaluate the chemicals. Chlorpyrifos and experimental synthetic pyrethroid were the most effective of the chemicals used. Fly-in was the only source of larval attack, as none of the old swards that were reseeded contained a significant population of larvae to migrate. A major benefit of using glyphosate pre-ploughing on seedling emergence and herbage yield was revealed." |
