Linking Semiochemical Ecology and Spatial Dynamics to Improve Integrated Pest Management of Striped Cucumber Beetle, Acalymma vittatum
The striped cucumber beetle, Acalymma vittatum (Fabr.), is a major early-season pest of cucurbits in eastern North America because overwintering adults injure seedlings while they are young and highly vulnerable to feeding damage or infection by Erwinia tracheiphila, the causal agent of bacterial …

The Use of Buckwheat Border Habitats to Attract Natural Enemies of Cucumber Beetles in a Cucurbit Agroecosystem
The potential control of cucumber beetles, Acalymma vittatum (Fab.) and Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardi (Barber)(both Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) two major pests of cucurbits, was assessed in a cucurbit agroecosystem by using buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) border habitat to attract the …
