          Abstract

          The effect of interplanting collards with a mixture of herbs on oviposition of the imported cabbageworm, Pieris rapae(L.), was investigated at Chesterfield Co., Virginia during 1981 and 1982. Analysis of the dispersion indices of the insect using Taylor's power law and Iwao'smodel revealed that P. rapaeeggs were significantly — m ( P< 0.001) clumped ( b> 1) on collards interplanted with herbs. However, insect counts on control collards conformed to the Poisson distribution ( b= 1, P> 0.05). Pieris rapaelaid significantly ( P< 0.01) more eggs on collards hidden between sage than on collards hidden between other companion plants. Also, P. rapae laid significantly ( P< 0.005) more eggs on collards bordered by companion plants than on non-bordered control. These data suggest that companion herbs did not repel P. rapaebut instead significantly encouraged colonization of the insect and produced an aggregated distribution.

          Résumé

          L'effet de semer du chou collard en alternance avec des herbes mélangées sur la ponte de Pieris rapae(L.) a été étudié dans le Comté de Chesterfield en Virginie, en 1981 et 1982. L'analyse des indices de dispersion de l'insecte utilisant la loi des facteurs de Taylor et le modèle d'Iwao a révélé que les oeufs de P. rapaeétaient significativement ( p< 0.001) groupés ( b> 1) sur les choux accompagnés d'herbes. Les nombres d'insectes sur des choux témoins étaient conforme à la distribution de Poisson ( b= 1, p>.05). P. rapaea pondu significativement plus d'oeufs ( p< 0.01) sur des choux espacés de sauge, que sur des choux espacés d'autres plantes compagnes. De plus, P. rapaea pondu significativement plus d'oeufs ( p< 0.005) sur du chou situé parmi des plantes compagnes que sur les témoins en semis pur. Ces données indiquent que les herbes compagnes n'ont pas eu d'effet répulsif sur P. rapae, augmentant plutôt la colonisation par l'insecte tout en causant une distribution groupées.
