Abstract
The host plant preference of the soybean pod borer, an important factor in the resistance of the soybean plant, was studied in the field, using four varieties, two hairy and two glabrous. It was found that there was a considerable difference in the number of eggs laid on the hairy and glabrous varieties, and also in the place where eggs were laid. These differences were observed when the hairy varieties were planted alternately with the glabrous ones. However, the difference in the number of eggs laid was not found when all pods of the soybean plants were removed. This treatment of the hairy varieties caused a great decrease in the number of eggs laid, while on the glabrous varieties this was not the case. These observations suggest that two factors operate (a) varietal preference (b) site preference within plants, e.g. the hairy pod is the most attractive oviposition site. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG DIE WIRTSPFLANZENPRÄFERENZ DES SOJABOHNENBOHRERS , GRAPHOLITHA GLICINIVORELLA MATSUMURA. 1. DIE EIABLAGE Die Wirtspflanzenpräferenz des Sojabohnenbohrers, eine wichtige Erscheinung hinsichtlich der Resistenz der Sojabohnenpflanze, wurde im Freiland unter Benutzung von je zwei Varietäten behaarter und unbehaarter Sojabohnen untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß sowohl hinsichtlich der Anzahl als auch der Lokalisation der abgelegten Eier zwischen den haarigen und unbehaarten Varietäten der Bohnen ein beträchtlicher Unterschied besteht. Diese beiden Unterschiede wurden auch dann festgestellt, wenn die haarigen Varietäten im Wechsel mit den haarlosen gepflanzt worden waren. Als jedoch sämtliche Schoten aller Sojabohnenpflanzen künstlich entfernt wurden, konnte kein Unterschied in der Anzahl der abgelegten Eier mehr gefunden werden. Diese Behandlung verursachte bei den haarigen Varietäten eine übermäßige Verminderung der Eizahl, während dies bei den haarlosen nicht der Fall was. Diese Beobachtungen zeigen offenbar, daß es hinsichtlich dieses Gegenstandes zwei Haupterscheinungen gibt, nähmlich Inter‐ und Intravarietätenpräferenz, und daß die erstere stark von der Anwesenheit der “haarigen Hülse” beeinflußt wird, die als die anziehendste Eiablagestelle zu gelten hat.
