Abstract The experimental design was a split-split plot with eight randomized blocks in which two host crops (tomato and eggplant) were designated as whole plots, seven imidacloprid doses as sub-plots, and two times of application (one day and 7 days before transplanting) as sub-sub plots. Drenching doses were 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 ounces of Admire 2F per acre equivalence of bedding trays of tomatoes and 0, 0.18, 0.38, 0.75, 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 ounces of Admire 2F per acre equivalence of bedding trays of eggplant. The diluted drench was applied to individual cells of bedding trays using a pipetted volume of one ml per plant. Plot size for each treatment combination was one row 20 feet long (20 tomato plants, 8 eggplants) with rows spaced 72 inches apart. Plots were planted 9 Jun using 288 cell trays. After transplanting, weekly counts were made of live and dead adults, percent defoliation, and percent stand loss.

Abstract The experimental design was a RCB design with four replications and 8 treatments. Drenching doses were 0 (two controls per block), 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 ounces of Admire 2F per acre equivalence of bedding trays. The diluted drench was applied to individual cells of bedding trays using a pipetted volume of one ml per plant. In addition, a drench treatment of 16 fluid oz of Admire was applied in the transplant water. Plot size for each treatment combination was one row 20 feet long (20 tomato plants) with rows spaced 64 inches apart. Plots were planted 14 May. After transplanting, weekly counts were made of egg clusters, early larvae (first/second instars), late larvae (third/fourth instars), live adults, and dead adults on the ground. Percent defoliation was recorded per plant at two times. Plots were harvested and graded on 8 Aug.

Abstract The experimental design was a RCB design with eight replications and 4 treatments. Drenching doses were 0, 0.38, 1.5, and 6.0 ounces ; of Admire 2F per acre. At transplanting, before the root ball was covered with soil, the drench was applied as a simulated transplant water treatment of 8 oz diluted volume per plant. Plot size for each treatment was one row 20 feet long (8 eggplants) with rows spaced 72 inches apart. Plots were planted 3 ; Jul. After transplanting, weekly counts were made of egg clusters, early larvae (first/second instars), late larvae (third/fourth instars), live and dead adults, i percent defoliation and percent stand loss. Plots were not harvested to remove fruit; instead the number of marketable fruit was counted once on 9 Sep.

Abstract A genetic linkage map was constructed from an intraspecific cross of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata. This is an initial step toward mapping the loci that underlie important phenotypes associated with insect adaptation to an agroecosystem. The map was made with 172 AFLP and 10 anonymous codominant markers segregating among 74 backcross (BC1) individuals. Markers were mapped to 18 linkage groups and a subset of the markers with a mean intermarker distance of 11.1 cM is presented. A pyrethroid-resistance candidate gene, LdVssc1, was placed onto the map as well. The sex chromosome was identified by exploiting the XO nature of sex determination in this species using patterns of variation at LdVssc1 and the codominant markers.

Economic Pest

Colorado potato beetle (CPB) is an economic pest of potato that has developed resistance to all classes of chemical insecticides, thus requiring alternative control measures. As a potential solution, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have proven effective in suppressing this pest, but their efficacy against overwintering generations of CPB in Croatia has not been sufficiently researched. The aim of this two-year (2018–2019) field study was to determine the efficacy of Steinernema feltiae and Steinernema carpocapsae applied to overwintering CPB adults. EPNs were applied at three doses (7.5 mil./10 m2, 5.0 mil./10 m2 (the recommended dose) and 2.5 mil./10 m2) by watering the soil where the adults were overwintering. The first-year results were satisfactory for both EPNs: the efficacy of S. feltiae ranged from 79.03% to 100.00%, while the efficacy of S. carpocapsae ranged from 77.32% to 96.22%. In the second year, the highest efficacy (69.57%) was obtained using the recommended dose of S. feltiae. Although the results are not consistent across the two years of our study and suggest further research, they indicate that EPNs have great potential in controlling overwintering CPB generations to reduce first generation abundance and damage, and also to prevent the spread of new generations to surrounding potato growing areas.
