- Title
DIPTEROUS PESTS OF CEREALS IN 1954.
- Abstract
This article reports on the occurrence of dipterous pests in cereals in Great Britain in 1954. It was found that leatherjackets, Tipula, in general, were less numerous than in 1953. Damage by Frit fly, Oscinella frit, on the other hand, was much more above normal in the southeast. Many cases of damage, mainly light, occurred in the eastern countries, mostly on wheat, although oats, rye, and ryegrass-rye mixtures were also infested. Damage due to Wheat Bulb fly, Leptohylemyia coarctata, was on a considerably reduced scale, as compared with 1953. However, widespread attacks, a few of which were severe, occurred in Yorkshire, the East Midlands, particularly in Lincolnshire, and the eastern countries. Bibionid larvae, probably Dilophus febrilis, were found in large numbers of poor cereal crops.
