Foliage-feeding Lepidoptera on young nonbearing apple trees in Wisconsin. J. Econ. Entomol. 55(4): 552-554.
Summary
Populations of foliage-feeding Lepidopters were
studied under an aphicide-treated and a check environment in a young,
nonbearing Red Delicious and Cortland apple orchard in Door County, Wisconsin
in 1959 and 1960. Seventeen species
in nine families were collected from the orchard in 1959 and 33 species in 19
families in 1960. The greatest number
of species were represented in the Noctuidae. The three most abundant species were Spilonota ocellana
(Denis & Schiffermuller), Argyrotaenia velutiana (Walker), and Lithocolletis
crataegella Clemens in that order.
Four species occurred in two generations; all others had a single
generation. The number of individuals
and species present were influenced by tree variety, plot environment, and
year, the highest counts occurring on Red Delicious and under the check
environment.
