Wheat: Science and Trade. Ames, IA: Blackwell. p. 189-201. Interpretive Summary: • The bird cherry-oat aphid is an important vector of barley yellow dwarf viruses that affect wheat and other small-grain crops, but the aphid may also cause direct feeding damage to wheat. • Various kinds of plant-based resistances and natural enemies are potentially useful, but they are not equally applicable in simultaneously managing bird cherry-oat aphid and limiting incidence of barley yellow dwarf. Thus, management strategies need careful consideration to optimize their effectiveness. Technical Abstract: • The bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) is an important vector of barley yellow dwarf viruses that affect wheat and other small-grain crops, but the aphid may also cause direct feeding damage to wheat. • Various plant-resistance modalities and natural enemies are not equally applicable in simultaneously managing bird cherry-oat aphid and limiting incidence of barley yellow dwarf, and management strategies need careful consideration to optimize their effectiveness. |
