“…Markkula, 1959;Schotzko & O'Keefe, 1988) have reported reduced fecundity and survival on non-favoured species, and it seems likely that future control of these pests could lay with the development of resistant strains and cultivars of the legume crop plant. In contrast S. flavescens appears far more restricted in feeding preferences, particularly favouring members of the genus Trifolium.…”

A series of laboratory and field studies were done to evaluate a range of leguminous plant species for their feeding potential by adult weevils of the genus Sitona Germar. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Three species of Sitona, S. lineatus L., S. flavescens Marsh. and S. hispidulus E all of which are found commonly on white clover (Trifolium repens L.) in the UK were offered a range of 11 legume species, Z repens (white clover, cv. Olwen), T. pratense L. (red clover, cv. Marcom), T. fragiferum L. (strawberry clover, cv. Palestine), T. hybridum L. (hybrid clover, cv. Tetra), T. incarnatum L (crimson clover), T. dubium Sibth. (lesser yellow trefoil), Lotus corniculatus L. (birdsfoot-trefoil, cv. Leo), L. uliginosus Schkuhr. (large birdsfoot-trefoil), Melilotus alba Desr. (white melilot), Medicago sativa L. (lucerne, cv. Europe) and M. lupulina L. (black medick) in two laboratory experiments. The weevils were offered a choice of these legumes in one experiment whilst in the other they did not have a choice of food material.These legumes were also sown in the field and a number of measurements of damage, together with counts of Sitona spp., were made. In the laboratory S. lineatus and S. hispidulus favoured some of the legumes to a greater or lesser extent than white clover. S. flavescens was more restricted in its feeding than the other two weevil species. In the field study S. lineatus invaded the experimental area quickly and tended to favour Medicago spp. and Melilotus spp. Later in the year S. flavescens dominated the sitona fauna on the experiment, with the exception of aggregations of S. lineatus on M. sativa and M. alba. In a separate screen of 5 varieties of white clover (cvs Donna, Menna, Kersey, Olwen and Grasslands Huia), cv. Olwen appeared to be the most susceptible to sitona attack.

“…These notched leaves are typical of the first signs of weevil presence in pea stand . Females scatter eggs singly on the soil surface and in cracks near the seedlings (Schotzko & O'Keeffe 1988). They very soon commence to lay eggs after their appearance in the crop and egg-laying continues until shortly before the death of the parent weevil (Lerin et al 1993).…”

Seidenglanz M., Rotrekl J., Smýkalová I., Poslušná J., Kolařík P. (2010): Differences between the effects of insecticidal seed and foliar treatments on pea leaf weevils (Sitona lineatus L.) in the field pea (Pisum sativum L.). Plant Protect. Sci., 46: 19-27.Tested seed treatments (two doses of thiamethoxam, thiamethoxam + fludioxonil + metalaxyl-M; two doses of clothianidin + beta-cyfluthrin) showed high effects on pea leaf weevils (Sitona lineatus L.) which approved relatively long-lasting and sufficient protection of several bottom nodes of stipules simultaneously. The effects of foliar treatments (chlorpyrifos + cypermethrin; acetamiprid, lambda-cyhalothrin) sometimes were evident only on the node which was determined as the youngest node at the time of spraying. The effects of the compared seed and foliar treatments on the reduction of S. lineauts larvae numbers on roots were not proven as positive. It is possible to conclude that the foliar application had no real effect in this sense at all. However, positive significant effects of thiamethoxam and clothianidin + beta-cyfluthrin on root nodulation in general were recorded. Especially higher doses of the seed treatments increased overall nodulation from 43% till 363%.

“…Two activity peaks for PLW were detected, one in mid‐May to early June and one in late July. These peaks reflect the bivoltinism of PLW in the inland Pacific Northwest when optimal pre‐ and post‐migrational food plants are available to the weevil (Schotzko & O’Keeffe, 1988). The earlier peak corresponds to the colonization period of PLW in pea just after the aerial migration from its winter host.…”

“…Conversion to NT can affect pests, pathogens, and beneficial organisms in various ways. In this paper, we examine the effects of NT on the pea leaf weevil (PLW), Sitona lineatus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a pest of legumes including pea [ Pisum sativum L. (Fabaceae)] in both Europe and the Inland Pacific Northwest of the USA (Jackson, 1920; Schotzko & O’Keeffe, 1988; Williams et al., 1995; Hanavan et al., 2008). Spring pea is an important pulse crop in the cereal‐legume rotation on the Palouse, with approximately 20% of the acreage planted at any given time to pea or lentil [ Lens culinaris Medikus (Fabaceae)] (Papendick, 1996).…”

Conversion from conventional‐tillage (CT) to no‐tillage (NT) agriculture can affect pests and beneficial organisms in various ways. NT has been shown to reduce the relative abundance and feeding damage of pea leaf weevil (PLW), Sitona lineatus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in spring pea, especially during the early‐season colonization period in the Palouse region of northwest Idaho. Pitfall traps were used to quantify tillage effects on activity‐density of PLW in field experiments conducted during 2001 and 2002. As capture rate of pitfall traps for PLW might be influenced by effects of tillage treatment, two mark‐recapture studies were employed to compare trapping rates in NT and CT spring pea during 2003. Also in 2003, direct sampling was used to estimate PLW densities during the colonization period, and to assess PLW feeding damage on pea. PLW activity‐density was significantly lower in NT relative to CT during the early colonization period (May) of 2001 and 2002, and during the late colonization period (June) of 2002. Activity‐density was not different between treatments during the early emergence (July) or late emergence (August) periods in either year of the study. Trap capture rates did not differ between tillage systems in the mark‐recapture studies, suggesting that pitfall trapping provided unbiased estimates of PLW relative abundances. PLW absolute densities and feeding damage were significantly lower in NT than in CT. These results indicate that NT provides a pest suppression benefit in spring pea.
