Abstract/Contents: | "Field-collected adult Japanese beetles, Popillia japonica Newman, treated with conidia of Metarhizium anisopliae Sorokin were compared with nontreated beetles under field conditions on Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal, using mark-release-recapture techniques. Distance, direction, and day of capture were monitored with lure-baited Japanese beetle traps placed in four concentric circles 50 to 1000 m around the release point during July and August of 1990 and 1991. Significantly fewer treated beetles (2.5%) were recaptured than untreated individuals (5.2%). Approximately 70% of the recaptured beetles were caught within 50 m of the release point, but a small percentage (<1%) of individuals from each group flew as far as 1 km. Most of the market beetles (80-86% of those caught) were recaptured within 24 h of release. Barely any (<1%) of the marked beetles were detected in the traps 3 days following release. Flight of both treated and untreated groups indicated that mortality did not begin until 3-4 days following treatment. A week after treatment with fungus, 100% mortality was observed. The delay in mortality and the flight distances observed for fungus-treated beetles indicate good potential for dispersal of M. anisopliae via infected adult Japanese beetles." |
