Effects of Host Plant Phenology on Oviposition Preference of Crocidolomia pavonana (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Field studies have demonstrated mixed success in trap cropping to manage Crocidolomia pavonana ( binotalis) [F.], a major pest of cruciferous crops in Asia. A possible explanation for this is an inßuence of host plant phenology on oviposition preference. We tested this in simultaneous two-choice oviposition bioassays under laboratory conditions. In cylindrical cardboard experimental arenas, wit...
متن کاملLife table studies of Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on sugarcane.
The lesser cornstalk borer, Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is an important pest of sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) in southern Florida. Reproductive and life table parameters for E. lignosellus were examined at nine constant temperatures from 13 to 36 °C with sugarcane as the larval food source. The pre- and postoviposition periods decreased with incre...
متن کاملAnalysis of Host Plant Resistance in Some Genotypes of Maize against Chilo Partellus (swinhoe) (pyralidae: Lepidoptera)
Twenty available genotypes of maize were screened for resistance to Chilo partellus in the field. The genotype Sahiwal 2002 was found to be most susceptible while DK-6525 was most resistant. Maximum infestation was observed at the end of April while the minimum in the last week of March. Significant variations were observed in all the plant characters viz., number of nodes per plant, plant heig...
متن کاملHost Selection Behavior and the Fecundity of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) on Multiple Host Plants
Insect herbivores often have higher densities on host plants grown in monocultures than those in diverse environments. The underlying mechanisms are thought to be that polyphagous insects have difficulty in selecting food or oviposition sites when multiple host plants exist. However, this hypothesis needs to be extensively investigated. Our field experiments revealed that the population of the ...
متن کاملpopulation density of overwintering larvae of chilo suppressalis (lepidoptera: pyralidae) on host weeds in mazandaran province
striped rice stem borer, chilo suppressalis (lepidoptera: pyralidae) is one of the major pests in north part of iran which causes serious damage. the last larval instar overwinters in the stem of weeds around the fields. regarding the importance of weeds as overwintering habitat, population density of larvae was studied in three areas; low-, mid-, and up-lands of mazandaran province and also on...
