Abstract
The soybean tentiform leafminer, Macrosaccus morrisella (Fitch) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), is a microlepidopteran native to North America that was detected feeding on soybean in the United States of America (USA) for the first time in 2021. The number of soybean fields where M. morrisella has been detected has since increased, but the spatiotemporal distribution and extent of injury to soybean plants remain to be determined. Thus, this research was conducted in multiple commercial soybean fields between 2022 and 2024 in Minnesota, USA with the objectives of determining the distribution of leaf-mining injury caused by M. morrisella over space (within-plant and within-field) and time (seasonal phenology). Proportion of leaflet area injured by M. morrisella generally increased as the season progressed across fields and years, peaking in late-June to mid-July and/or mid-August. Overall, the average proportion of leaflet area injured was as high as 80 % at field edges adjacent to wooded areas, but minimal in the interior of the field, and injury was greatest in the bottom of the canopy of soybean plants. These results advance the knowledge of the population ecology and potential for crop injury of M. morrisella in soybean, and contribute to the development of management programs for this insect.
期刊介绍:
The Editors of Crop Protection especially welcome papers describing an interdisciplinary approach showing how different control strategies can be integrated into practical pest management programs, covering high and low input agricultural systems worldwide. Crop Protection particularly emphasizes the practical aspects of control in the field and for protected crops, and includes work which may lead in the near future to more effective control. The journal does not duplicate the many existing excellent biological science journals, which deal mainly with the more fundamental aspects of plant pathology, applied zoology and weed science. Crop Protection covers all practical aspects of pest, disease and weed control, including the following topics:
-Abiotic damage-
Agronomic control methods-
Assessment of pest and disease damage-
Molecular methods for the detection and assessment of pests and diseases-
Biological control-
Biorational pesticides-
Control of animal pests of world crops-
Control of diseases of crop plants caused by microorganisms-
Control of weeds and integrated management-
Economic considerations-
Effects of plant growth regulators-
Environmental benefits of reduced pesticide use-
Environmental effects of pesticides-
Epidemiology of pests and diseases in relation to control-
GM Crops, and genetic engineering applications-
Importance and control of postharvest crop losses-
Integrated control-
Interrelationships and compatibility among different control strategies-
Invasive species as they relate to implications for crop protection-
Pesticide application methods-
Pest management-
Phytobiomes for pest and disease control-
Resistance management-
Sampling and monitoring schemes for diseases, nematodes, pests and weeds.
