Abstract/Contents: | In laboratory studies in England, alate exules of Rhopalosiphum padi (L.) preferred perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) for colonisation rather than 14 other species of grass. Emigrants colonised cereals twice as readily as did alate exules. Apterous exules also preferred perennial ryegrass to cereals. Although small when reared on perennial ryegrass, the aphid was more fecund per unit weight on this food-plant than on any of the other grasses tested. At the later plant growth stages, R. padi developed faster and was more fecund on cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) and perennial ryegrass than on timothy grass (Phleum pratense). At low temperatures, R. padi was more fecund on timothy grass than on perennial ryegrass and cocksfoot, whereas, at high temperatures, the opposite was true. The secondary food-plant preferences and reproductive activity of R. padi are discussed in relation to possible suitable food-plants for viviparous overwintering and the pest status of the aphid in the UK. |
