Studies on Management of Bollworms Using Different Integrated Pest Management Strategies in Cotton
This investigation was aimed to study the management of bollworms using different integrated pest management strategies in cotton. Highest infestation in bolls at harvest was recorded in module-5 and lowest was recorded in module-2. Net returns were highest in module-5, which also recorded maximum cost-benefit ratio. Low net returns and cost-benefit ratio were recorded in module-3. Eventhough, ...
متن کاملTransgenic Cotton Plants Expressing Double-stranded RNAs Target HMG-CoA Reductase (HMGR) Gene Inhibits the Growth, Development and Survival of Cotton Bollworms
RNA interference (RNAi) has been developed as a powerful technique in the research of functional genomics as well as plant pest control. In this report, double-stranded RNAs (dsRNA) targeting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGR) gene, which catalyze a rate-limiting enzymatic reaction in the mevalonate pathway of juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis in cotton bollworm, was expressed...
متن کاملImpact of Bollworms [Helicoverpa zea (Boddie)] on Maturity and Yield of Bollgard Cotton
A large percentage of Bollgard cotton is treated for bollworms [Helicoverpa zea (Boddie)] with little information about economic losses from these infestations. The impact of bollworm infestations on maturity and yield of Bollgard cotton was determined. Infestations of 1-d-old bollworm larvae were established on non-Bollgard and Bollgard cottons in large field cages. Treatments included three a...
متن کاملDesigning an Engineered Construct Gene Sensitive to Carbohydrate In-vitro and Candidate for Human Insulin Gene Therapy In-vivo
Background and Aim: Diabetes is a common disorder worldwide, and exhaustive efforts have been made to cure this disease. Gene therapy has considered as a potential curative method that has more stability in comparison with the other pharmaceutical methods. However, the application of gene therapy as a definitive treatment demands further investigation. This study aim is to prepare a suitable hi...
