Abstract
Adults of Apion occidentale Fall were shown to transmit the causal agent of the disease Phoma black stem, Phoma oleracea var. helianthi-tuberosi Saccardo, of the sunflower. Helianthus annuus L., under greenhouse conditions. Phoma spots formed around the feeding punctures on the leaves of sunflower plants in the Phoma-inoculated Apion treatments. After these spots enlarged to encompass either the lateral veins or the mid-vein of the leaf, the discoloration moved down the vein and petiole of the leaf to the axillary region. The characteristic Phoma lesion subsequently was formed on the stem. P. oleracea var. helianthi-tuberosi was reisolated from infected plants. The feeding of one A. occidentale adult was sufficient to induce severe expression of this disease by sunflower plants in the 1.2–2.7 stage of development under these conditions.
