摘要:
The wheat curl mite,Eriophyes tulipae(Kifer), and the maize weevil,Sitophilus zeamais(Motschulsky), were evaluated as potential vectors ofAspergillus flavusLink ex Fries for use in the screening of maize (Zea maysL.) cultivars for genetic resistance toA. flavus. The mite did not effectively vectorA. flavusspores into the kernel. The maize weevil (dusted withA. flavusspores), however, can be an effective vector of this pathogen in areas such as Missouri where natural levels of infection are erratic.
