Other claims from this paper (15)
- Observation Ericaphis fimbriata was the principal aphid on blueberry.
- Observation Four primary parasitoid species dominated the blueberry survey.
- Association Primary parasitoid frequencies varied significantly by geographical area.
- Observation Praon unicum dominated in southwestern British Columbia.
- Observation Aphidius n. sp. dominated west of the Cascades.
- Observation A. sp. and A. ervi dominated east of the Cascades.
- Observation Pteromalids dominated secondary parasitoids.
- Observation Secondary pteromalid frequency was lowest in southwestern British Columbia.
- Observation A. n. sp. parasitization rose to 0.090 +/- 0.084 in late July or early August.
- Observation Praon unicum emerged four weeks before A. n. sp.
- Association Praon unicum parasitization was lower in conventional than organic fields.
- Observation Aphid density increased monotonically.
- Observation Praon unicum had two spring peaks.
- Mechanism Simulation indicated that discrete generations could explain the spring peaks.
- Recommendation The authors suggest releasing P. unicum at 150 or 450 DD to augment spring populations.
