Publication Untersuchungen zur Abundanz der Reblaus (Dactylosphaera vitifolii Shimer) und zur Nodositätenbildung in Abhängigkeit von Umweltfaktoren(2000) Kopf, Andreas; Blaich, RolfThe aim of the examinations was to investigate the abundance of Phylloxera (Dactylosphaera vitifolii Shimer), the occurrence of different biotypes of Phylloxera, the reaction of rootstocks to the infestation by Phylloxera and the influence of abiotic environmental conditions on the interaction between insect and plant. To investigate this interaction galls on rootlets (nodosities) and leaf galls were examined. The abundance of Phylloxera and the issue of the holocyclical reproduction in the wine region palatinate were evaluated in a field monitoring. In a special field trial the occurrence of different stages of Phylloxera and their damages on the rootstock were registered. With a dual aseptical in vitro system Phylloxera of different origins were examined on their aggressiveness to different varieties of rootstocks. In pot trials the influence of the type of soil and the effect of N-fertilization on the development of nodosities were investigated. The results of the examination show that Phylloxera can be found in nearly every part of the palatinate and that the improper cultivation of grafted rootstocks promotes the spreading of Phylloxera. Through shoots of rootstocks ? as they can be found in vineyards run wild - a holocyclical development of Phylloxera is made possible under appropriate climatical circumstances. Fitness, population dynamics of Phylloxera and the number of nodosities caused by the insects are correlating with their adaptation to a host rootstock. Pot studies have demonstrated that Phylloxera populations develop better in clay soil than sandy soil. High densities of Phylloxera in combination with a lack of N-supply increase a growth depression on grafted roots. It could also be proved that N-fertilization reduces the Phylloxera populations and the development of nodosities up to 98 %.
