Feeding Preference of Adult Japanese Beetles (Coleoptera:Scarabaeidae) for Asian Elm Species and Their Hybrids (3.100291)
Date: April 1999Creator: Miller, Fredric D.
Type: Article
Description:The objective of the described study was to conduct an initial screening of Asian elms and their hybrids for adult Japanese beetle feeding preference in the laboratory and in the field. The findings will contribute to selection and future potential of these elms, and provide a clearer direction for an ongoing comprehensive elm breeding program for Dutch elm disease, elm leaf beetle, and elm leaf miner resistance.

Feeding Preference for Selected Tilia Spp. and Cultivars by the Adult Japanese Beetle (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) (3.100292)
Date: May 1999Creator: Miller, Fredric D.
Type: Article
Description:The reported study was initiated to evaluate horticulturally desirable Tilia spp. for feeding preference by the adult Japanese beetle. A secondary objective of the study was to determine if leaf pubescence is a factor in feeding preference. Using mean percent leaf area consumed and mean dried fecal pellet weights as measures of susceptibility, the Asian species of T. petiolaris, T. oliveri, T.chinensis, and T. japonica show promise for partial resistance to Japanese beetles.
