Abstract The carrot weevil, Listronotus oregonensis (LeConte) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a devastating pest of high value Apiaceous crops like carrots (Daucus carota subsp. sativusHoffm.), parsley (Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Fuss), and celery (Apium graveolens L.). Although native to North America, it serious across the Eastern United States Great Lakes region Canada. Females deposit eggs in petiole cultivated hosts, upon hatching, larvae tunnel down through into plant roots causing...
Abstract Both science festivals and insect have increased in frequency the last few decades. In order to compare with festivals, we modified a validated festival visitor survey (EvalFest) for Purdue’s Bug Bowl, long-running festival. Benchmarking against EvalFest Collaboration Ongoing Visitor Experience Studies (COVES) results, found that Bowl audiences were similar having high levels of education, interest science, frequently visiting venues. fact, 23% takers indicated they actual...
Abstract Knowledge of specialty crop cultivars with resistance against insect pests is limited, and this may serve as a barrier to implementing host-plant part an integrated pest management strategy. Carrot (Daucus carota L.) (Apiaels: Apiaceae)is valuable diversity that differ in physical chemical qualities influence preferences. To investigate the role cultivar tool reduce damage, we evaluated 7 carrot replicated laboratory field trials IN OH, USA 2021. During June July, documented...
