Morphological observation and characterization of the Pseudoregma bambucicola with the scanning elec...

May 2017 · Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences

Both leica microscopic camera system and scanning electron microscopy was used to observe and characterize the feet, back, abdomen, antennae and mouthparts of the Pseudoregma bambucicola from the bamboo, Bambusa multiplex. The possible functions of all the external morphological characteristics of the P. bambucicola were described and discussed in detail, which offers a basis for further ... [Show full abstract] enriching the biology, phylogeny and ecological niche of the P. bambucicola. Moreover, the morphological results should contribute to morphological identification and differentiation of the P. bambucicola from other aphids in the same family.

Sample Size and Bioassay Methods for Monitoring Insecticide Resistance in Diamondback Moth, Plutella...

January 2005

Studies were conducted on the sample size requirement and bioassay methods for monitoring insecticide resistance in the diamond back moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella L Three sample sizes of 50,100 and 150 larvae and three bioassay methods viz. leaf dip, larval dip and vial assay were tried under laboratory. A sample size of 50 larvae was found to be adequate for monitoring insecticide resistance ... [Show full abstract] in DBM. Slopes resulting from different bioassay methods did not differ significantly indicating usefulness of these bioassay methods for monitoring resistance. However, leaf dip method was found to be ideal for monitoring insecticide resistance,which was further confirmed by the field validation studies.

A field scale evaluation of stem injection for suppression of mango leafhoppers

January 1996

Studies on the management of a mixed population of mango leafhoppers, ldioscopus nagpurenis (Pruthi), I. nitidulus (Walker) (=I. niveosparsus Lethierry) and Amritodus atkinsoni (Lethierry) by stem injection were made in the mango orchard at Dharwad during 1989-93. Injection of monocrotophos into the stem @ 0.36 ml a.i. per cm girth during the last week of December, 1989 did not offer protection ... [Show full abstract] from leafhoppers up to February-March, 1990. This failure was attributed to untimely application that did not coincide with peak breeding period of the leafhoppers. However, injection given when more than five nymphs per inflorescence were noticed during the first week of February, 1991 and 1993, resulted in 20-100 per cent and 94-100 per cent reduction in leafhopper population 24 hr and 30 days after treatment, respectively. In contrast, there was a continuous increase of pest population (up to 300 per cent) in the untreated trees. It is inferred that stem injection could be an effective and economic control measure if timed appropriately and it should not be employed as a preventive measure.

Vegetable oils as synergists of synthetic pyrethroids against diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella...

January 2002 · Journal of Entomological Research

Among the six oils screened, sesamum, honge and linseed oils greatly synergised fenvalerate. Honge oil alone at higher dosage (0.3 and 0.4%) showed significant insecticidal activity. Sesamum oil (0.2 per cent) recorded highest larval mortality of 81.50 and 99.99 per cent at 24 and 48 h, respectively and was significantly superior to other oils. Larval mortality with honge and sesamum oils in ... [Show full abstract] combination with synthetic pyrethroids increased with the increase in dosage and interval of observation. At the shortest interval of 24 h, honge oil and sesamum oil at 0.2 per cent synergised all the pyrethroids tested. Both sesamum and honge oils at 0.2 per cent can be utilized to prolong the efficacy of pyrethroids. Under field conditions these combinations showed varying degrees of synergism, which increased up to three days and declined there after indicating instability of these combinations.

Insecticide usage pattern in crucifer ecosystem in North Karnataka

January 2001

Insecticide use pattern on the crucifer ecosystem in North Karnataka was collected through a survey conducted during 1997-99. Insecticides belonging to all major groups were being used in all possible combinations, dosages and frequency notwithstanding the extensive development of resistance to these insecticides. Insecticide use pattern at all locations followed a typical cocktail system with ... [Show full abstract] greater variability in the nature of insecticides, number of insecticides used and frequency of application irrespective of the recommendations. It is apprehended that such indiscriminate use may further aggravate the resistance problem.
