- Title
ESTIMATING CROP LOSSES DUE TO WHEAT BULB FLY.
- Authors
Raw, F.; Lofty, J. R.
- Abstract
This article describes a method for estimating crop losses due to Wheat Bulb fly. By utilizing the oviposition response of Wheat Bulb fly to certain soil conditions and its habit of ovipositing before the wheat crop is sown, it is possible to establish several levels of infestation experimentally, without using insecticides and without affecting conditions for plant growth. The results of one season's investigations are presented to illustrate the application of this method to the estimation of crop losses. The data were obtained from experiments carried out on Broadbalk and Pennell's Piece--two adjacent fields at Rothamsted Experimental Station at Harpenden in Herts, England.`
