Bugs Carry Pollen Too: Pollination Efficiency of Plant Bug Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Hemiptera: Miridae) Visiting Cotton Flowers

چکیده
Los polinizadores para el cultivo de fibra algodón están infrautilizados a pesar la evidencia que polinización cruzada puede aumentar los rendimientos. Además, investigación existente ignora en gran medida potencial insectos distintos las abejas (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophilia) proporcionar servicios algodón. Observamos chinches plantas, saltahojas del algodón, Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae), visitando flores americano (upland), Gossypium hirsutum L. (Malvaceae) y llevando granos polen sobre sus cuerpos. Presumimos podrían contribuir mientras se alimentan entre flores. Para probar esta hipótesis, examinamos frecuencia visitas P. seriatus, carga dispersión análogos capacidad cruzada. Encontramos saltamontes visitaron 21% observadas nuestro sitio campo depositaron un análogo 12,5% accesibles una jaula campo. Sin embargo, es probable individualmente sean demasiado pequeños transportar suficientes fertilizar autoestériles, porque recolectados transportaban aproximadamente 25 por insecto, menos lo necesita produzcan frutos. En general, encontramos no pudieron estimular desarrollo fruto autoestériles. predecimos pueden dentro comunidad polinizadores, polinizar plantas hospedantes silvestres tienen más pequeñas o agrupadas. Alentamos investigadores continuar investigando ecosistemas agroecosistemas.

Development of a plant-based threshold for tarnished plant bug (Hemiptera: Miridae) in cotton.
The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is an important pest of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the mid-southern United States. It is exclusively controlled with foliar insecticide applications, and sampling methods and thresholds need to be revisited. The current experiment was designed to establish a plant-based threshold during the flowering period of cotton develo...

متن کاملSampling strategies for square and boll-feeding plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) occurring on cotton.
Sampling methods for square and boll-feeding plant bugs (Hemiptera: Miridae) occurring on cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., were compared with the intent to assess if one approach was viable for two species occurring from early-season squaring to late bloom in 25 fields located along the coastal cotton growing region of south Texas. Cotton fleaphopper, Pseudatomoscelis seriatus (Reuter), damages s...
متن کاملComparison of direct and indirect sampling methods for tarnished plant bug (Hemiptera: Miridae) in flowering cotton.
A complex of hemipterans, especially the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), has become a major target of insecticides in flowering cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the mid-southern United States. Sampling protocols for this complex during this period of cotton development are poorly established, resulting in uncertainty about when infestations war...
