- Title
HOST PLANTS OF WHEAT BULB FLY.
- Authors
Stokes, Barbara M.
- Abstract
This article focuses on experiments concerning host plants of Wheat Bulb fly. 24 plant species were selected for tests as host plants. In one series of experiments, the plants were grown separately in 7-inch pots, to which eggs and/or newly hatched larvae were added between November 1953 and February 1954. In a second series of experiments, single shoots of each host plant were grown in soil in glass tubes with a drainage hole in the base. The type of damage suffered by different plants was examined in the third series of experiments, in which newly-hatched larvae were placed on the roots of washed single shoots laid round the edge of an earthenware dish. The base and roots were covered with damp soil and the plants were examined some days later. Larvae extracted from wheat plants were used in the fourth series of experiments to see if they would infest other hosts.
