THE OCCURRENCE AND HARMFULNESS OF Oscinella frit L. (DIPTERA: CHLOROPIDAE) TO MAIZE CULTIVARS CULTIVATED FOR GRAIN IN SOUTH-EASTERN POLAND
Journal Title: Acta Scientiarum Polonorum – Agricultura - Year 2015, Vol 14, Issue 3
Abstract
Long-term studies on the occurrence of frit fly (Oscinella frit) on maize were carried out in 2001-2014, in Krzeczowice, south-eastern Poland. In the analysed period, O. frit larvae damaged from 3.5 to 42.2% of plants of a medium-early maturing (FAO 240) maize cultivar (mean 25.2%), causing theoretical loss in grain yield from 0.4 to 8.1% (mean 4.5%). Studies on the susceptibility of maize to frit fly were carried out in 2009- -2011 on 18 cultivars from three earliness categories: early (FAO 190-220), medium-early (FAO 230-250) and medium-late (FAO 260-290). In the analysed 3-year period larvae of O. frit damaged, on average, from 20.4 to 32.3% of plants of cultivars, causing a mean theoretical loss in grain yield from 2.9 to 4.7%. Statistically significant differences were found between the susceptibility of cultivars to damage caused by O. frit. Medium-late maturing maize cultivars were significantly more often damaged by frit fly than the early maturing cultivars.
