Cereal leaf beetle feeding caused substantial grain losses in Michigan field tests, with an average yield loss of 38% in susceptible cultivars

Hordeum vulgareVerbatim
e0“Yield losses of spring barley, Hordeum vulgare L., caused by feeding of the cereal leaf beetle (CLB), Oulema melanopus (L.), were determined by comparing yields of insecticide‐treated plots with CLB‐infested plots”
e1“The CLB caused substantial grain losses in three field tests in Michigan in 1974 and 1975”
e2“The average yield loss of seven susceptible barley cultivars in the three tests was 38% due to an estimated peak density of 1.6 larvae/stem”

Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation Resistant spring barley line CI 6469 produced high yields in cereal leaf beetle-infested plots
- Association Fewer cereal leaf beetle eggs and larvae were found on resistant spring barleys than on susceptible cultivars
- Recommendation Plant resistance in spring barley may reduce yield losses caused by cereal leaf beetle
