Abstract
The bird-cherry oat aphid Rhopalosiphum padi L. avoided tall fescue (F. arundinacea Schreb.) plants infected with the endophyte Acremonium coenophialum Morgan-Jones et Gams but settled on tall fescue infected with a Phialophora-like endophyte and on endophyte-free plants. The presence of either A. loliae Latch, Christensen et Samuels or a Gliocladium-like endophyte in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), and of Epichloe cf. typhina (Pers.) Tul. in chewings fescue (F. rubra L. s.l.) did not affect the feeding preferences of R. padi compared with uninfected controls. A method of using R. padi compared with uninfected controls. A method of using R. padi for the detection of A. coenophialum in tall fescue is suggested.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
