Host plant pubescence: Effect on silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii, fourth instar and pharate adult dimensions and ecdysteroid titer fluctuations
The ability to generate physiologically synchronous groups of insects is vital to the performance of investigations designed to test insect responses to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli. During a given instar, the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii, increase in depth but not in length or width. A staging system to identify physiologically synchronous 4th instar and pharate adult silverlea...
متن کاملThe nymphal-adult molt of the silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia argentifolii): Timing, regulation, and progress.
The developmental progress of silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia argentifolii) 3rd instars and 4th instar/pharate adults was monitored using a tracking system that had been designed to identify synchronous individuals in another species of whitefly, the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum. When reared on greenbean under conditions of LD 16:8 and a temperature of 26 +/- 2 degrees C, the bod...
متن کاملEffects of temperature and dietary sucrose concentration on respiration in the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii.
A system consisting of a flow-through chamber connected to a commercial infrared gas analysis system was developed to measure homopteran respiration during feeding. Using this system, respiration rates of 202 and 206 µmol CO(2) h(-1) g(-1) (4.96 and 5.04 ml CO(2) h(-1) g(-1)) were determined for whiteflies and cotton aphids, respectively, at 25 degrees C on diets containing 15% sucrose. These r...
متن کاملEffect of high temperature on the metabolic processes affecting sorbitol synthesis in the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii.
Whiteflies accumulate the polyhydric alcohol, sorbitol, when exposed to temperatures greater than about 30 degrees C. Feeding experiments using artificial diets containing labeled sucrose showed that more of the label was incorporated into whitefly bodies and less was excreted in the honeydew when feeding was conducted at 41 compared with 25 degrees C. Analysis of the components of the honeydew...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Entomopathogenic Fungi Beauveria bassiana and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus for Microbial Control of the Silverleaf Whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii
c s t u a 1 b d f a a i 1 b Collaborative research was conducted at the USDARS Subtropical Agricultural Research Center in southrn Texas to assess the microbial control potential of eauveria bassiana and Paecilomyces fumosoroseus gainst Bemisia whiteflies. Laboratory assays demontrated the capacity of both pathogens to infect Bemisia rgentifolii nymphs on excised hibiscus leaves incubated t rel...
