Toxicity of plant essential oils and their components against Lycoriella ingenua (Diptera: Sciaridae).
Plant essential oils from 20 plant species were tested for their insecticidal activity against larvae of Lycoriella ingenua (Dufour) (Diptera: Sciaridae) by using a fumigation bioassay. Good insecticidal activity (>90%) against larvae of L. ingenua was achieved with essential oils of caraway seed Carum carvi (L.)], lemongrass [Cymbopogon citratus (D.C.) Stapf.], mandarine (Citrus reticulate Bla...
متن کاملAttraction, Oviposition and Larval Survival of the Fungus Gnat, Lycoriella ingenua, on Fungal Species Isolated from Adults, Larvae, and Mushroom Compost
We previously showed that the females of the mushroom sciarid, Lycoriella ingenua (Dufour, 1839) (Diptera: Sciaridae), one of the most severe pests of the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus (J.E. Lange) Emil J. Imbach (Agaricales: Agaricaceae), are attracted to the mushroom compost that mushrooms are grown on and not to the mushrooms themselves. We also showed that females are ...
متن کاملEffect of Monitoring Technique in Determining the Presence of Fungus Gnat, Bradysia spp. (Diptera: Sciaridae), Larvae in Growing Medium1
Monitoring tools for detecting the presence of fungus gnats (Bradysia spp.) are a critical part of effective IPM programs for these pests in greenhouse production systems. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of yellow sticky cards for monitoring adult fungus gnats; similarly, potato disks placed on the surface of the growing media in pots have been shown to be effective monitoring tools...
متن کاملCharacteristics of a hydrated, alginate-based delivery system for cultivation of the button mushroom.
The production of the button mushroom Agaricus bisporus with mycelium-colonized alginate pellets as an inoculant of the growing medium was investigated. Pellets having an irregular surface and porous internal structure were prepared by complexing a mixture of 1% sodium alginate, 2 to 6% vermiculite, 2% hygramer, and various concentrations of Nutrisoy (soy protein) with calcium chloride. The por...
متن کاملInsecticidal Effects of Two Plant Aqueous Extracts against Second Instar Larvae of Lycoriella Auripila (Diptera: Sciaridae)
The toxicity of aqueous extracts of two plants, Nicotiana tobacum and Eucalyptus globulus were investigated against second instar larvae of Lycoriella auripila, one of the most important pests of button mushroom, using agar dilution technique. Seven concentrations of aqueous extracts of both plants were applied on second instar larvae and their mortality were evaluated after 24, 48 and 72 h. Th...
