Abstract/Contents: | "The duration of development and survival of Oscinella frit, O. nitidissima and O. Nigerrima at different growth stages of several plant species was investigated in the laboratory. The effect of the infestation on the growth of plants was also quantified. Survival of O. frit larvae was significantly lower (P < 0·01) on barley than on either oats or wheat, between which there was no significant difference. Survival was usually highest when plants were infested at the two-leaf stage and lowest when plants were infested at the five-leaf stage. The duration of development of both male and female O. frit was longer on barley than on either oats or wheat and generally increased when older plants were infested. The proportion of male flies was greatest when older plants were infested. Duration of development and survival of O. frit was similar on oats and Lolium multiflorum, but larvae did not survive on Dactylis glomerata. Of the other Oscinella species, O. nitidissima larvae did not survive on oats, wheat and barley and O. nigerrima larvae did not survive on either oats or barley. The main shoots of cereal plants infested at the two-, three-, four-leaf stages were rapidly killed by O. frit larvae whereas many of those infested at the five-leaf stage continued to grow slowly. In response to attack proportionately more tiller were produced by oat plants than by either wheat or barley plants. When cereals were infested with O. nigerrima larvae the central shoots were damaged, but most recovered and continued to grow. Damage symptoms were most obvious when cereals were infested at the two-leaf stage, oats being more severely affected than either wheat or barley." |
