    Notes: Abstract Field investigations conducted from 1982 to 1984 to assess intercrop effects on the distribution of Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), Lepidoptera, Pyralidae, in maize revealed that the incidence of damage by O. nubilalis was influenced significantly by the proximity of maize to potato. Maize fields adjacent to potato fields had a lower incidence of early season damage by O. nubilalis and a higher incidence of late-season damage than maize isolated from potato.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Des expériences ont été réalisées dans deux types de conditions (avec ou sans possibilité de dispersion) pour déterminer si le taux d'installation des chenilles de premier stade de H. zea Bod. dépendait d'une mortalité liée au stade développement de Glycine max L. L'installation était considérée comme réussie quand les chenilles avaient atteint le second stade. Bien qu'il fût possible de distinguer les variétés de soja tant par le taux d'installation des chenilles que par les dégâts provoqués, les plantes les plus jeunes étaient plus colonisées par des chenilles que les témoins plus âgés. Toutes les variétés de soja à n'importe quel stade étaient acceptées lorsque la dispersion des chenilles était impossible. Avec possibilité de dispersion, les chenilles ont aussi accepté tous les stades phénologiques, mais en moins grands nombres que lorsque la dispersion était impossible. Le comportement de dispersion était beaucoup plus fréquent sur les plantes à port indéterminé que sur celles à port déterminé. Les possibilités de réinstallation après dispersion des chenilles de premier stade ont été limitées.
    Notes: Abstract Early instar Heliothis zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) established on all stages of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merrill) tested when larvae were confined to plants, although establishment decreased after podset stage and as seeds matured. In tests where larvae were allowed to disperse freely on plants, establishment also decreased as maturity increased, but was much lower in each stage than when confined to plants. Neonate larvae settled more quickly on terminals and expanding trifoliates than on mature trifoliates based on initiation of feeding and movement away from initial sites of placement. The ability of neonate larvae placed a short distance from soybean plants to reach a host was affected by high soil and ambient temperature. The results of these experiments suggest that larval host establishment and spin-down behavior play a major role in the late instar population distribution among soybean fields and that maturity of the host strongly influences that behavior.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La diapause d'O. nubilalis Hubn. est décrite d'après des études en conditions naturelles et programmées de souches sauvages ou élevées au laboratoire en Caroline du Nord. La diapause est décrite comme une fonction de la photophase (heures de jour/24 heures) et du stade larvaire au début des conditions inductrices de la diapause. Une photophase critique de 14,4 h et un stade critique larvaire de 3,3 ont été établis au laboratoire après 3 ans d'études en insectarium. 7 ans de piégeage à la lumière noire à Goldsboro, ont montré la vraisemblance de l'existence de 4 vols par an. Les données sur la diapause de cet insecte sont utilisées pour expliquer tant le nombre de vols que l'importance relative des derniers vols. En moyenne, la majorité des lignées ont 3 générations par an, O. nubilalis précoces produisant une quatrième génération conséquente et prédictible. La data et l'importance du 4ème vol peuvent être partiellement expliquées d'après la photophase critique, et la data et la structure en âge des générations précédentes. La plupart des années, le 4ème vol est moins important que le 3ème par suite de la prédisposition à la diapause de la majorité de la 4ème génération. Cependant, dans un cas au moins, en 1977, le 4ème était anormalement important et pouvait être prédit par de faibles changements temporels dans les 3 précédents vols, détournant de la diapause la majorité des chenilles de 4ème génération. La discussion porte sur la valeur du modèle fourni par la diapause de O. nubilalis pour expliquer et prédire la dynamique des évéments phénologiques.
    Notes: Abstract The diapause biology of the European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübn.), is described based on natural and controlled environment studies of feral and lab-reared ECB's in North Carolina (NC). The diapause response is described as a function of photophase (h of light/day) as well as a function of larval age (instar) at onset of diapause-inducing conditions. A critical photophase of 14.4 h and a critical mean larval instar of 3.3 is found in the lab studies and supported by three years of insectary studies. Seven years of black light trapping of ECB moths in Goldsboro, NC, revealed the likelihood of up to four moth flights/year. Information about the diapause biology of this insect is used to explain both the number of flights and the relative magnitude of the final moth flights. On average, the majority of ECB lineages pass through three generations/year with early maturing ECB's producing a significant and predictable fourth generation. The timing and magnitude of the fourth flight can be partly explained on the basis of the critical photophase and the timing and age structure of previous ECB generations. In most years, the fourth flight is smaller than the third due to the majority of the fourth generation's predisposition towards diapause. However, in at least one case (1977), the fourth flight was unusually large and could be predicted by slight temporal shifts in the previous three flights resulting in the majority of the fourth generation larvae averting diapause. The value of the ECB-diapause interaction as a model system for the explanation and prediction of dynamic phenological events is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The relationship between second generation European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner) egg mass numbers and subsequent field corn damage, as measured by stalk cavity numbers, was studied in 79 fields in northeastern North Carolina over three years. A mean of 0.028 egg masses per plant (645 egg masses/23400 plants) was found over the course of the study. Significant differences in oviposition rate were detected between fields and years. Ca. 85% of egg masses were deposited in a five leaf zone surrounding the primary ear; of these, 89% were found on the lower four leaves in this zone. Egg masses appeared to be distributed randomly within fields but at low rates of incidence, and oviposition was relatively uniform between sampling areas within individual fields. Under moderate to high oviposition pressure (mean number of egg masses per plant over the duration of the oviposition period 〉ca. 0.02), eggs laid during the early phases of the oviposition period account for more subsequent stalk damage than eggs laid during the later phases of the oviposition period. Variations in second generation egg mass numbers accounted for ca. 70% of variation in stalk cavity numbers.
