Isolation, screening and characterization of microbial surfactants producing wax degrading bacteria from cotton mealybugs, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley and Ferrisia virgata Cockerell (Homoptera: Pseudococcidae)
The physiological role of microbial surfactants production in microorganisms includes antimicrobial activity and break down of complex hydrocarbon substances to make the substrates readily available for uptake in adverse environmental conditions. Wax degrading bacteria are a significant group of microorganisms facilitated mainly by the production of microbial surfactants to emulsify waxy substa...
متن کاملSurvey for cotton mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis (Tinsley) and its natural enemies.
Mealybug was considered to be a minor pest of cotton but it emerged as a major pest in 2006-2007 in North and Central zones. Extensive field surveys conducted in cotton fields during 2007-09 in Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab in the North zone and Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Gujarat in the Central zone indicated that Phenacoccus solenopsis was the only major species of mealybug recorded on co...
متن کاملA new record of mealybug pest in the south of Iran, Phenacoccus solenopsis (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae)
شپشک آردآلود Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley در تاریخ 12/10/1387 از بندرعباس و میناب در استان هرمزگان از روی ختمی چینی Hibiscus rosa-sinensis جمع‌آوری شد. این شپشک که برای اولین بار از ایران گزارش می‌شود، در پاکستان و هند یکی از آفات خسارت‌زا روی محصول پنبه است و سالانه مبالغ هنگفتی صرف کنترل شیمیایی آن می‌گردد. این شپشک خسارت قابل ملاحظه‌ای به گیاهان زینتی در شهرها و درختان میوه، به‌ویژه مرکبات...
متن کاملBiology of the Mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis on Cotton in the Laboratory
Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) has been the current topic of research for insect taxonomists and applied entomologists in India due to its invasiveness, rapid spread, morphological and biological variations and the need for establishing an effective control strategy. The biology of the mealybug P. solenopsis was studied on cotton under laboratory conditions between A...
متن کاملEffect of Honey Solution and Water Acquisition on Survival of Starved Solenopsis Mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis
The current study examined the effects of honey solution and water access on feeding behavior and survival of starving solenopsis mealybugs, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). The electrical penetration graph technique and an artificial membrane system were used to check whether P. solenopsis could imbibe free water or other liquid, such as the honey solution used here,...
